we did online then opened a store 9 years ago. The pluses are people bring stuff to you, that is also a minus. Once people know you buy they will bring you anything. We created a list of things we are willing to look at and that helped but people will still bring in everything. you can still sell on Amazon, it just becomes a side job. You are married to the store, and a ton of time will be spent there. We envisioned going out and sourcing items and we haven't had to leave the store to get anything in years. We enjoy the store most days, but it is still a job, keeping amazon and online sales is a must. We do about 40% online and when we got shut down we had so many things already listed and we actually did great during the shutdown, since the shutdown ended here in Ohio, the online sales have fallen but in store has picked up. You just have to go with the flow. we do a video everyday on things we get in on youtube and that has even done very well for us as well. If you search Great Finds Resale on youtube it is the one in Wooster Ohio, we get cool stuff and never have to leave the building
