Getting Started: My Journey Into Antique And Secondhand Shops

In My Blood

I was raised in the world of old souls and hidden gems. My father started taking me to antique shops before I could even spell the word “antique.” While other kids played with shiny new toys, I learned the thrill of finding value in the forgotten—things some call junk but others know are gold. He taught me how to see, not just look. And more importantly, how to know when something could turn a profit. That eye? It’s in my blood.

Yes, There Are Ads. No, I’m Not Sorry.

Building BazaarAntiq.com has been a labor of love—and hustle. Every hour, every line of code, every shop listed? That’s me. And while the site is free to use, servers aren’t. So yes, there are ads. They help me keep the lights on. Drop the ad-blocker, open your mind, and know this: I’m not here to sell out. I’m here to build something real. Something useful. Something that lasts.

Use It. Love It. Share It.

BazaarAntiq.com is for everyone who loves the thrill of the find. Whether you’re a hardcore antique hunter, a weekend thrift warrior, or a shop owner hungry for more eyes on your storefront—this platform is for you. Free to browse. Free to list. Free to thrive.

Welcome to the site I wish had existed years ago. Now it’s here—and it’s only just beginning.
