 I was working in the real estate business many years ago when I visited an elderly man on North Charlotte Street who wanted to sell his house and move into a retirement home.
I noticed the house was filled with older furnishings and asked the man what he planned to do with them. A used furniture dealer was offering a mere $500 for everything, I was told. I offered to get the elderly man a better price so I arranged to have the items auctioned. The final tally: $15.000. I have had my hands in the antique business ever since.
Jim Burk Antique Shows had its first show in 1968 in New Oxford, taking over for another promoter who had retired. I discovered how much I enjoy promoting shows and have been doing so ever since with the help of my wife Donna who I have been happily married to for nearly 53 years.
Jim Burk Antique Shows carries on the tradition of only organizing shows that are for charity. I have now streamlined Jim Burk Antique Shows to only promote the Greater York Antiques Show and Sale, which benefits the men's club of the York Y.M.C.A.
