I have asked him many times to provide me the actual ph#s to the owners of mdse Im interested in. Thats when he really gets "po'ed"... and says NO! (hee hee)! He gets that "used car saleman poker-face",.. and returns to his nice-comfortable office!
It would take a real-stupid vintage radio collector to put the "best" collectible sets in places such as these, and leave those rare vintage beauties in "charge" of some idiot that sits in a air-conditioned office!
Can you just imagine the little-kids passing thru a vintage radio booth ( day after day) with a rare Philco model 90, and pulling-off a "orig knob or 2" while his parents werent looking?... or better yet, knocking it on the floor altogether!? Ol antique mall owner "Homer" in his nice comfortable-office would never know, and/or, could care less except he gets his monthly money for his rented booths!!
You bet, I have lots of fun with that guy, and would "never-ever" consider renting a booth to let him be in-charge of!! I keep my vintage-collection in my own 1200 sq ft (antique Radio museum),... where "nut-cases" like ol "Homer",,... will never profit from things he knows absolutely nothing about in the 1st place!! Sure is fun to get him "stirred-up", though!! Doesnt take much!! All I gotta do is show-up!!
If you see some item your interested in in a antigue-mall setting, just remember to leave a friendly-note to the owner placed under the mdse your interested in. Be "specific", and leave your name & ph #. The actual-owners of all this junk need to sell items, just to pay the rent on their booths! They WILL bargain, if you can talk to them in person indeed!
