yeah wholesale is the best word to summarize that place these days!!
I have 1 great story though that shows me its about more than money when selling antiques ... I sold a bunnykins bowl, royal doulton, from 1950 to a lady in usa for $45 + 30 postage ... it had a few bids and finished on that. She told me after she'd paid and I'd sent it to her that her father was an artist for them during that period and he had passed away the previous year when her son was born so she was buying up all the pieces she could find done by her father to give to her son one day.
Aaaaaaaaw!!!
