Getting higher prices for merchandise is appealing, but the thought of inventory/accounting is a turn off.

Here's my master plan. Buy a piece land and build a 40X80 metal building on it. Buy storage units during the week, and be open to the public on the weekends.

Auction the items and make a show of it. You'll get more money per item that way.
