Conducting this research early in the planning process will generate great results and save a lot of time later on.
is to create a game plan for how you will acquire these items. Utilize the power of relationships to find the most exciting items.

If you are working with consignment companies ask them if their items can be sold multiple times. If you are having a live auction be sure to let your auctioneer know the available quantity of each item.
