[Tucker recently attended an industry summit with eBay. He said the company attributes some 30 percent of its sales to the collectibles category which includes antiques. Even so, interest in independent dealers is on the rise again, he said.] We've seen some signs of it coming back at some of the shows, ... The gates have been stronger in the last six months than a year ago. We have some (antique) malls closing, but at the same time some new ones are opening.

[Jim Tucker, founder and director of Antique and Collectibles Association in Davidson, N.C. said the industry peaked in 1998 when the rising popularity of eBay began to have an effect on independent dealers sales. Tucker said even though the Sept. 11 tragedies had a big impact on the retail industry, he doesn't blame the struggling economy or Sept. 11 for the overall situation.] I think it's been the Internet, ... It has made antiques and collectibles more accessible. It helped people find what they want or finish their collections more quickly.

Eric loves to visit antique shops and I do too. It's always been a love for both of us and his aunt was an antique dealer. We've always talked about doing something with antiques and teaching people to identify what they have and so I said, 'let's go for it!' It's also to introduce people to the art of being able to assess what it is that you have. People go out and frequent these garage sales and the antique shops and sometimes they just see something that's pretty, but they have no idea what the value is.

Easter is the third-biggest seasonal driver for retailers in malls. The Christmas season — November and December — accounted for 25 percent of their sales last year. The beginning of summer — May and June — accounted for 15. 4 percent of total sales last year. Then came March and April, accounting for 12 percent of sales.

There remains a lingering risk of higher interest rates should signs of stronger employment and inflation emerge in coming months.

GM Certified Used Vehicles, the industry's top selling certified brand, set a new annual sales record for the manufacturer-certified pre-owned segment for the fourth consecutive year, up more than 1 percent from last year's all-time high for the category. Certified GM brands again led all manufacturers with 2005 sales of 532,379 units, and we look forward to growing our leadership position in the certified segment in 2006.

Whether a person feels positive or not is kind of a comment on their personality and of no great interest. You can find positive signs or you can find negative signs. How you evaluate them depends on something that happened in your life recently or something like that. There's no objective way to do it. The important thing is you try to commit yourself to making the positive signs more real. Suppose you felt that there's 99 percent of a probability that human civilization is going to be destroyed in the next hundred years, but one percent chance it won't be, and that one percent offers some opportunities to do something. Well, you commit yourself to that one percent.

When the inn remodeled in the 1950s, tons of Arts and Crafts furnishings were just thrown out or given away. Now they're so collectible, Grove Park Inn antiques have a category on eBay.

It really started out as a hobby. We both like antiques, and antique clocks especially, and when something didn't work he would figure it out. We started doing repairs for family and friends, and fixing antique clocks. There was so much work coming to us that we thought we'd try it as a business. It seemed like there was really a need for it. It's a lost art.

Even though holiday sales account for 65 percent of the industry's overall sales, the first nine months of the year can determine whether the Christmas season will be good or bad for retailers. I'm very excited about the new products for the summer.

The 2004 sales figures are impressive, especially as we enter the twilight of this hardware cycle, and more significantly, looking ahead, the video game industry shows no signs of slowing down. No other entertainment industry has posted the sustained growth over the last decade generated by the video game sector, and given the technological and creative advances ahead, all signs point to surging growth and more record sales for many years to come.

In the fourth quarter of calendar 1999, sales grew 170 percent year-over-year. In the second quarter they just reported, sales grew 84 percent. So, if you went back six months, Amazon's market capitalization when they generated that 170 percent growth was probably around $25 to $30 billion. Today it's $15 billion,

[Merrick Bank had the highest default rate with 35 percent, followed by Citibank and Providian, both with 29.99 percent.] When a customer is actually at the point of completely defaulting, there may have been some signs before that time that the company could've picked up on and dealt with in a more humane fashion than [what] most credit card companies seem to be doing at this point, ... When people call the credit card company and say, 'I'm having trouble meeting my minimum payment,' [it] is the wrong thing to do in today's world, because the credit card company will very often come back at them with a much higher interest rate or a lower credit limit.

Target recently generated its highest [comparable] sales in 20 quarters, up 6.6 percent in the first quarter. However, this could represent a high-water mark as sales seem to be slowing and comparisons become much more difficult in the back-half of the year.
