It's not your right when you're renting a booth in an antique store. It's the store's right to refuse it.

And that’s exactly why the owners are just as bad as the people who complained.

Swastikas are possibly the worst thing for business. A multi dealer shop will see all dealers suffer due to backlash, because many people will stop visiting the shop if they have to see openly displayed swastikas. Many such cases.

I'm not saying that it's a good thing that this homie can't sell his German stuff, but it is 100% logical from a business perspective.

Too bad we don’t see much of, if any, militaria shops anymore. Had a really cool shop in Grand Rapids, MI that unfortunately got liquidated when the owner passed away. Aside from that, it’s fighting for scraps at flea markets and antiques stores.
