About the author
Julian Mercer has spent years buying and selling antiques and vintage goods from a booth in Ohio, building a sourcing and selling system through active weekly operation rather than theory.
He sources from estate sales, thrift stores, garage sales, and auctions, tracks what moves, and adjusts what does not. The work is less about rare finds and luck than about the ordinary decisions that quietly add up: what to pick up, what to leave, how to price it, and how to arrange a booth so it earns its rent.
The Antique Booth Playbook grew out of that process. It is the operational guide he wished existed when he started, built around the decisions that actually drive consistent sales rather than the guesswork most beginners rely on.
He shares antique booth strategy, sourcing, and the business of reselling on his YouTube channel, @antiquevideosforyou.
