KATE'S WISDOM on other websites: HowToConsign.com
is a site designed for your clientele. You can
list your shop, and get a link to your site or a FREE e-business
card and URL if you don't yet have a site. Auntie

Kate also, sometimes, writes for consumers and NARTS includes it in
their e-newsletter. For example, Choosing
the Right Resale Shop and what
to do with things that just don't have any more life in them.
