Most collect & <br /> process on site. <br />The Source Comics, Laabs Pianos, Fantasy Flight, Schmidt Music, Second Swing Golf, <br /> and many others offer used items as a lesser portion of their sales. <br />Pete’s Guitars in St. Paul, as a prime example of a vintage guitar seller that draws <br /> customers from around the world. <br />Antique dealers also fit this category. <br />Thank You , <br />Steven L. Jones <br />Planning Commissioner <br />1988 Stowe Ave. <br />Arden Hills, Minnesota 55112 <br /> <br />
