2 What is one challenge that buyers and/or collectors currently face?
Finding affordable, quality items, which can be scarce.
3 What is one question it’s important for people to ask before buying?
What’s the story?

Know your stock. Also, one thing I’ve learned is to be generous with knowledge and time (if you can).
