“Hold this for a second,” Todd Stanton said as he climbed a ladder and prepared to hang a candle-lit chandelier from the 18th century from his ceiling at his store Uncommon inside the Landmark Center in Downtown Liberal.

And while they are uncommon, his eye for antiquities has been used by other buyers who have mostly been online, and recently Stanton was notified that his eBay store is ranked in the top 5 percent of all antique stores on the world’s most popular bidding site.
