   for my interviews I talked to a few different people who had the answers to the questions I was asking(go to interview questions). mostly people who were either buying or selling their stuff at the antique store, or the people who owned the store trying to acquire more antiques or sell of the ones they had for a profit. the other person I interviewed was my mom, she works in the post office and told me all about what it would take to create and antique website you can order stuff off of.
   recently I've been going to a lot of antiques stores and other "thrift " stores you can call them. I've talked to many store owners or the buyers of antiques although my interview didn't come out of one person because they did not seem to offer all the information I needed, I was able to talk to many different people.  I've had the chance to see all types of items that caught my eye but did not have the money to purchase , from arts that vary in style and no recognizable artist to household items decades old. most of the stuff was not in the best condition, the owner I talked to talked a lot about "not only does it have to be old but it has to be in a condition to be eye catching, and the older they are the worst the condition they are". most of the questioned I asked had to deal with location and weather there was geological significance when it came to seeking to buy a entire stock or seeking those to sell them to. when I asked why he had located in Tucson, he had a good story about how his childhood was right around the corner from his store, and he never thought about the type of people he would attract or if the area was a place that such items were in a high demand.
     the other person I interviewed  was my mom, because if I wanted to have a store and a ware house and a website where you can order anything you want off of it. it would need to be set up with a delivery service, my mom works for the post office, although its not the delivery service the would fit my needs. she was able to tell me the what it would look like to have it done. first I would need to reach out to the local supervisor for whatever service I wanted, then set up a contract with them and have my ware house connected to their warehouse where whenever items are bought, a worker will drive the item to their warehouse and put it in their truck and they take it where it needs to go. although this contract will be expensive if your are constantly selling items it will eventually turn to profit. through the past two weekends I have been able to talk to many different individuals with different perspectives, and I've gained a lot more knowledge I wouldn't of got from researching on the computer, and many aspect of the real world no website could show me
    the interviews I held, more like just asking question that people gave me a short answer, but I learned a lot of stuff that can help me to live my dream without the struggle of not knowing what to do next, the information I walked out with was essential to what my future will hold for me. this project gave me hope of actually becoming a business owner and being around an environment that ive enjoyed my whole life, arts
