Airport Hangar Pick

How do you pick an airport hangar?  The first step is to meet someone storing a doll and teddy bear inventory in his airplane hangar.   I met Norm at a local estate sale one Sunday morning.  We began chatting, and he mentioned that he had a lot of teddy bears stored in an airplane hangar.  I gave him my card with few expectations. 

Norm called, and explained that he lost his first wife about 15 years ago.  She left him with a huge doll and bear collection, including the inventory from her gift shop.  Norm wanted to donate or give the collection away, but we ending up negotiating a purchase in the four figures.  This was a win win situation for everyone involved.  Norm reclaimed his hangar space, and we got some great new old stock inventory.
