Antiquing with Matt Greig

Antiquing with Matt Greig

A realistic look at being an antique dealer. Currently a nomadic dealer traveling the country to set up at shows and selling online with a van full of merch. I buy and sell at flea markets and outdoor and indoor walled antiques shows. Sometimes I'll shop at thrift shops as well. Finally I source my merch at antique shops and malls as well as auction houses.

Thanks for checking me out.

    Great video! Love going there. Just one tiny correction, it’s not Todd’s Farm, it’s Todd Farm. I know it sounds funny and I’ll probably get lots of thumbs down and negative comments for being a nitpick, but just wanted to mention that in case someone wants to look it up to visit. Sorry.

    Great job, great content, great thinking about folks like myself who have not set up in literally 25 years, local, go to Brimfield regularly, used to be an eBay power seller, and setting up at the elephants truck, etc. back in the day when I lived in CT, but never set up in Brimfield.

    This year was my first trip. I don't know what previous year's prices were like, but I feel the asking prices on merchandise were lost in the clouds. I witnessed numerous haggle deals where the vendor ended up agreeing to half the price they were asking. On the low end of the spectrum it was common for vendors to demand $2-3 for loose Hot Wheels that looked like they were pulled from sink garbage disposals.

  • @antiquingwithmattgreig1370
    @antiquingwithmattgreig13702 ай бұрын

    I’m sorry you had that experience. It could be that those vendors were crashing prices later in the week after the initial rush. I never lower prices dramatically during the show or any show. Price day one is typically the same price end of the show. I do lower items once I’ve had them for a bit. So if I brought them back for the July show after having them at the spring show the sticker would be lower. I will say I always find stuff for resale at brimfield but it’s not easy. I buy from less than 10 percent of the vendors and I tend to buy from the same vendors year after year.

    I’ve noticed that dealers hate to be told prices: “I’ll give you $20”. I find that asking is civil and welcomed. Basically, I just ask if they have any wiggle room and say no worries if they don’t.

  • @antiquingwithmattgreig1370
    @antiquingwithmattgreig13702 ай бұрын

    “I’ll give you X “ does sound pretty demanding and comes across rude. Negotiating is fine of course. But being polite goes a long way.

  • @justinedemetrick9508
    @justinedemetrick95082 ай бұрын

    As a dealer that comes across as rude as hell, as though we don't know our business. think if you were selling, you know what all the costs were to bring that Item to market, you know who your buyers are and what you can get for an item. Would you want to told you'll take $$ by someone who lacks all that info? I don't think so. No. there business runs like that why should we?? AND it's not always what you say, but how you say it,.

    Just found you and am really enjoying your videos! I am 71 and up until about ten years ago I did Brimfield, Madison Boutville and lots of other shows including Rhinebeck. Slept in my van or stayed in some pretty rundown motels. Loved it all but now I can just about walk so your videos make me feel like I am still at it! Would of bought your chestnut bottles !

    Yeah. The van life isn’t easy. I’m skipping brimfield in part because I’m too far away this spring and don’t want to sleep in the front seat of my van in a rest stop on the way there. And the sales don’t really justify getting too many hotels. Especially compared to what I can sell and ship right from my house now.
