Antique Shopping Etiquette

Have you ever wondered if it's ok to ask for a discount in an Antique Mall?, or are you someone who always asks for a discount? I use to be the former, now I'm the latter :-). With a lot of vacationing this time of year people are looking for cool finds in other parts of the Country so I thought it might help if I gave you the general rule of thumb for most antique stores/malls.

    be a dealer in a few malls). If there is one particular item you want, leave an offer with the front desk and they will get back with you with acceptance, or a counter-offer. I've gotten up to 50% off doing that.
