00:09 This one here, the antique music box. You'll never see another one probably.
00:18 This is the only one I've ever seen in working order.
00:22 It's not everyone's cup of tea. These things are worth a lot in a certain
00:27 period and then not. And they're usually cyclical. It comes back.
00:30 The shop is very hard to put online because we only have one of everything as a
00:35 general rule. And once it's gone you may never ever see it again.
00:39 You know when you move to a country town they're very small
00:42 in groups as a general rule. And I'd lived here for five years before
00:48 I opened the shop. And I, while others will disapprove of me, I
00:53 think that's probably as early as you can open a new shop in a town
00:56 as someone who's not a worker.
00:59 You really need to start at ground level and reusing
01:05 is the single most important thing you can do.
01:09 Modern society, particularly Western society, produces an enormous amount of
01:13 waste. Well this, some of the stuff in here
01:17 will have been owned by five different people more by the time you get it.
01:21 It's the best way to do it.
