Y'all ever heard of Friday the 13th... The Series?
The premise is some guy made a deal with the devil to turn around his failing antique store, and thus he was cursed- along with everything else in his shop. When he figured this out, he broke the deal and began searching the world for all the items in the hopes of preventing anyone else getting hurt, and the Series picked up with a couple of his descendents taking on the "family business".
Twenty years ago, I saw a web cartoon whose title I used for this post, and similarly involved a shady antique store with items not meant for casual handling, in more ways than one.
My idea essentially combines the two; the characters find themselves in a position where they are compelled to search for lost items that are supernaturally dangerous to the average person.
I guess there's room for comparison to some other properties as well, but a comprehensive list isn't necessary to illustrate the premise, so please don't comment just to point out series/things I didn't already mention.
