While winter is almost finished (Thanks
God !), please find attached my update for Spring where you will
find plenty of interesting events for professional only.
Taking into consideration the poor chance to get again parity
between Euro and Dollar, I want also to inform you that I have
developped a European Buying Tour to optimize our
future buying by grouping antiques from France with antiques from
Easthern countries where the level of prices is still tremendously
low, and therefore will allow you to retrieve the level of profit
you need.
Obviously, such a tour shouldn't be
decided at the last moment, but should be planned a couple of weeks
before, the best arrangement seems to group 4 days in France and 4
days in Easthern big cities,
For example :
Saturday : Puces of Paris- saint-Ouen
Sunday : Beziers
Monday : Avignon
Tuesday : Montpellier
Wednesday : travelling
Thursday, Friday, Saturday : Easthern
European big cities
Which means 8 days, but only 7 billed
for buying and interpret. Furthermore all indirect costs (hotel,
restaurant, car renting, gas, internal flight, train) are also
optimized as much as possible and re-billed at cost without any
mark-up.
If you are interested by such a project,
please contact me with your wishes, I will send you a proposed
detailed program with a fixed price.
If you are afraid to support alone all
fees for such a tour, I can also offer to share all supports and
logistic with some other interested dealers, provided to do not
exceed 5 to 6 dealers in total to remain a manageable group, and
obviously by mixing dealers specialized in different offers to avoid
any conflict !!!
