Biting The Bullet

Yesterday I took the plunge and bought 3 mannequins from a seller on Let-go. What a great move on my part. My daughter found  the listing and made the inquiries. I wanted only one of them but the woman did not want to break them up. I pondered for days then made a few significant (ha! it's all relative) sales and decided if I was going to continue to purchase clothing I had to post them!

So Bridget and I drove to the extreme end of Preston Hwy and met in the Meijer parking lot and what a pleasant surprise. At first I was concerned because she was asking 75$  and I had 80$ and was sure I wasn't going to get any change! Besides the 3 mannequins she gave me a heavy box of poly mailers, two jewelry displays (thank good for the earring one!!) and a box of her inventory. But, beside all that which blew my mind was her advice. 

Key Words. there is a ebay blog for them

Ship International

Prom Dresses

buy from 95%off web sites - high dollar items

People buy plus sizes

the St. Rita yard sale

post at least 10 items a day

spread out over 3 web sites because of taxes

Poshmark is where its at for high dollar items

People (her and me) love vintage

She said she would price her stuff higher and it would still sell. Algorithms are all important. She had 600 items listed and had a store on Ebay because it will boost your store. 

I was really stoked yesterday not only by Lindy, (B. will keep in touch with her via FB b/c she is going to unload her inventory on Let-go)  but I also watched a video from a girl/lady in Sacramento that visited 3 Bins (lucky duck) in her area and documented her day on a video. It was inspirational.

So, to the garage and use my mannequins for the first time!!
