Time/week spent: 5h - 20h

Time was spent sourcing antiques, researching their value, restoring items, and selling them online or at markets. Initially, more time was spent learning about antiques and building inventory. Over time, the focus shifted to sales and marketing. The time commitment varied, with more hours during peak buying seasons or when attending auctions. Online communities suggest that the time investment can vary widely, with some dealers working part-time and others treating it as a full-time job.
