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.

    I think I'd attach twinkle lights inside & do seasonal displays on the front porch or entry way.
