Create and Antique and Collectables Fair and invite antique stores to invest equally.
It can eventually grow into a street fair with additional vendors.
Mimic the Antiques Road Show with local appraisers of various types of collectables (coins; magazines; art; furniture; misc.) Invite the public to bring up to three items for valuation.
Good luck -
