    I would display the art work laying flat stacked up. Cut up some 1/4" plywood and nail them in the bin like a horizontal cubical, and paint them blue. I'd use the blue panels that you mounted to the sides, for strategy guides and lower valued comic books.

    Would be a dream for me to own a store like this! Hopefully one day in the future! Anyways you inspired me and my grandfather to get started with flea market booths and it's been fantastic. Also inspired me to start my youtube channel as well sharing what I enjoy doing with other collectors out there and it's been a blast so far! Keep up the great work and hope everyone is having a great week so far!

    Put coloring books or just books in the poster holders. Also, video game magazines.

    Can you please link the colored bags you use with the clear windows you put the train and a lot of the other toys in? Thank you. Love the videos and the new store. You've come so far and done so much since Arizona. So happy for you all.

    Protip: if you need shelving for media, video games/ DVD/VHS/etc keep an eye out for CVS closing sales. The shelves from the pharmacy are perfect for media. I loaded up with 8, 7'x3' double sided shelves for $300. It's appropriately 600 linear feet of shelf space.

      Maybe you can get a couple of redbox kiosks and just set them to sell mode.

      @@originaljackofhearts Redbox kiosks probably have a bunch of proprietary backend software to deal with.

    So as a Walmart employee the colored totes/crates/hangers and appliances you see are usually shipped to stores during the back to school/college time. Usually June-August then during Christmas you might find more. Hope this helps out.

    I don’t know if you sell comic books in your store but if you do you could use the blue slots where the posters are to sort comic books.

    @tendosTrash suggestion. Maybe turn the all games that are in cases on the side so you can see what the game is by scanning with your eyes instead having to pull each one up individually. Congrats on the store 👍

    Would 8x10s in toploaders fit well in the blue art shelves? They’d be better protected from flopping and still fit the art theme of that spot. They could be art or autographs.

    Lucky bags bro and those little aeroplanes made from foam board that you can fly 😄 Bags of toy soldiers, cowboys , spacemen, the keep a kid quiet for 5 minute things 😂 kinder eggs with mystery LEGO mini figs. You should make Pokémon mystery packs too, 30 cards or so, 1 rare, 2 reverse holo, bunch of common and a couple energy. 1 in 10 chance of an ex etc. kids love mystery products.
