This may be a somewhat silly question but I'll ask it anyway since it's definitely applicable to history:

Where would be a good place to buy historical militaria stuff in order to sell it on eBay/personal site? After quite a few rejections for employment, I'd like to strike out on my own with a few dollars of loaned money from family and see if I can do something that isn't basic wage slavery.

My mom's colleague's husband told me once that he was in auto sales, but when I asked if that was a good idea he said to do what you know. I know history and firearms, so I figured I'd try to sell stuff that involve that. Stuff like buttons, helmets, uniforms, bayonets, supplies in general, propaganda posters, etc. You know, anything a collector would find interesting. Maybe firearms if possible (I live in the US and would need a C&R), but not for right now. Not just strictly from the world wars either like I'm seeing so much of, but I understand authentic stuff from beyond that would be a bit harder to find.

Any advice? Am I retarded?

I have no idea, but it's probably worthwhile asking /k/ too.

I thought about it, but I figured they'd just tell me to do surplus.

I would go to gun and knife shows in your area. There are always booths of military stuff there. Atleast you could find out where they get their stuff.

For old stuff? The last gun show I went to only had sporterized shit and glocks.
>>
>>514913
Yea there is usually a few booths with old military collectables. Atleast around here there are. Helmets uniforms ribbons and stuff.

You could also call up some local auction houses to see if there are any miltary auctions around.
>>
>>514940

I could try it, I reckon. There's rarely any of them here though.

>>514943

What are the chances that would get me some old stuff that's like pre-ww1? Or anything not American.

Set up an historical paintball for kids. Personally, all I like about collecting and trading is hunting for rare offers.

If you can do basic sewing it might be a good idea to look into doing civil war uniforms. You can buy the fabric pre cut to size and all you have to do is put a few stitches in it and sell it on. Reenactors love that shit
