Getting Closer to bailing out

I have a nearby friendly basement competitor that may buy my business &
building. He needs a new place, and the timing seems perfect. A few
factors are my worsening arthritis. The state of the industry. The real
estate market. I'm a bit young to retire this early, but I'm looking
forward to possilbly doing some consulting. I've had others ask me for
my unique perspectives and methods of increasing profits. Class
structuring, pricing and selling work, perceived value, smarter designing,
finding new sources of business. With 25 years of success in SG, maybe I'll
help teach others how to make money, for the price of a plane ticket plus
expenses. Hey I can be the American version of D. Brady! If not I can
still sell comic books and junk on Ebay!

You're never too young to retire, glassman! I'd be doing it too if I
had the cash. Sorry to hear about the arthritis. Stained glass work
would be difficult with a problem with that.

Good luck, Michael

It's interesting that you post this. One of the few remaining SG stores in
the metro ATL area told me yesterday that they are wanting to sell out.

I started glass as a retirement hobby.

It's coming full cycle with me retiring and passing the glass business
to my kids (while I continue to teach and publish books)

I've been lucky enough to keep dodging bullets, (Mexican & Chinese
imports, net sellers, etc), and skating around all the various challenges
over the years. With all the re-inventing I've done, retailing is the
single toughest. It can be done, but you need the right location at the
right overhead to make any money. My potential buyer won't be doing
retail. He has his own 25 year old client list to keep him busy. I'm just
turning everything over to him including the phone number. It's really
amazing but in my local 20 mile area of over 6 million, there's only a few
stores left.

Look at this as an opportunity for change. Hardly ever embrased willingly,
but nontheless an exciting adventure.
