I would say that it would be tough to make a living with just a store. You would have to add an ebay store to make it. When I started collecting in the 70's and 80's I knew several store owners and they were not getting rich. The way you made money in those days was searching private collections, flea markets and antique stores. Those days are over, so buying collections or whatever are not a deal now. If you keep up with the hobby, you will see many new auction sites starting. That is the new way to make a living in this hobby. .
Anyway, Good Luck if you try.
Joe
