This site is the demonstration. TeakyFinders stopped trading in 2025. The forty-eight pieces here are real, sold at the prices shown, and they show what a dealer's shop, or a whole centre's, looks like when it is built this way.
One shop for the building
An antique centre gets one Shopify store. Each dealer, or each pitch, is a collection inside it, with its own page, its own pieces and its own sold history. The Pitch 1 page on this site is what that looks like for one dealer. A centre with thirty dealers has thirty of them under one roof and one address.
What happens when a piece sells
Every piece is listed once, with a stock of one. When it sells, on the site, on eBay, on Etsy, or off the floor, the buy button goes and a Sold badge appears. The page stays up. It keeps its place in Google, keeps its photos and measurements, and points visitors at similar pieces still in stock. Nothing is deleted. That is why a shop like this gets stronger every year rather than starting from zero.
The till stays
This is not a new till and not a card machine swap. The centre's existing Epos carries on. The website is the shop window and the order book for everything that is not a walk-in sale. Deposits can be taken at checkout on the expensive pieces, with the balance on delivery or collection.
Delivery
Three options on every piece. Collect from the centre. Local van delivery across Norfolk and Suffolk at a flat rate. Or request a quote, which is the form on every product page. No parcel postage, no courier promises on a sideboard.
Photos you already have
The launch uses the photographs the dealers already have. A proper re-shoot of the floor is a separate day's work, priced separately, and never a reason to delay going live.
