    Well let me jump in!! Start with what you have and let it grow slowly... I started with a shopping cart and trash bags 40 years ago. My personal rule is to keep it moving and keep your scene clean to avoid the ire of the public. If you have an apartment rent a store space,if you have a house use the garage,if you have rural land start an outlaw yard...but keep it moving. I just took the leap into a yard and you have to watch everything all the time. I could not get a bank to finance me so I have a small "nut" that I buy with,and I do not advertise (I could get wiped out fast),just word of mouth and slow steady increase. I only have 10% of the buying power I need,,I will be livin' skinny for years to come as I build up.Go gettim' don't be discouraged.
