Greetings from a Hobby Shop owner; new to the forum

Posted by Anonymous on Tuesday, October 19, 2004 5:28 PM

Been reading the forum for some time now, and figured I'd say hi - - I've been a modeller most of my life (IPMS #5252), and was fortunate enough to open my own hobby store 10 years ago - the proverbial kid in a candy store. Over the years, before the store, I had amassed some 1100 unbuilt kits, which I thought would be great at retirement - still have most of them, since I hate giving them up. Some businessman, huh?
Anyway, the forum is just outstanding, and I'm glad to be a part of it. Anything I can do to help anyone, you have but to ask.

Hello and welcome. 1100 unassembled kits seems unbelievable to me for someone who wasn't a dealer.

Well, first off, I'm older than fluids, and secondly, when I get into a hobby, i GET INTO a hobby. As you can imagine, my wife was thrilled that I opened a hobby store; I had built a separate room on our house just for storage of the kits. Now I rent a small warehouse behind my store. And please believe that this isn't bragging -- it's more like an alcoholic admitting to his problem....
