It's slump time for Alphawoman. I sold 17 items two weeks ago, 8 items last week, and 4 items this week. My motivation is down. I have not been listing as I should and it shows in the sales. I'm just not into it with all the fuss going on around me. J has gout, D is now in a nursing home transferred from the hospital, and B will not get a covid shot. I have begged her and even made arrangements to go pick her up and take her to hold her hand. She is scared and wants S to go with her. Crazy town. I do not want to see her get sick and then cry about not getting the vaccine.
Just because I am in a slump does not mean I'm not still sourcing. After my highly successful yard sale where I unloaded a lot of my dead inventory. I was able to get some room in the garage and also make approximately 300$ Which I immediately spent on more stuff to sell. Which I have barley listed 2% of it.
The in person auction I over spent and came home with a bunch of broken crap. The painted ponies, which I paid 40$ for a box of horses, the Pegasus was broken in two places and sported an obvious repair on a back leg. Bummer. The value of the horse went from 100 to ZERO. I got the Paul Sawyier print I wanted, framed of course, so that was a win. I lost out on the two boxes of Asian figurines and dishes I covet. They sell well and I guess I am not the only one that realizes that. I also got my Belleelk, which I have laid out to sell. Actually, the only disappointments were the horses.
Then I wanted the piano babies and the Fenton hand painted Fairy Lamp at the S-ville on line auction and I over paid like I was a collector and not a reseller. I got the Lamp for 72$ (just shoot me) and have to list it at $150. Some have sold in the 200's$ go its just a waiting game for the right person to come along. There is not another on line anywhere, so that is good.
i wanted these Piano Babies too and only paid 42 for the 3. I think I can flip them for a nice profit. Just hoping they are not reproduction's
A good price for a box of Geisha dolls!
Female porcelain figurines.
You go girl. Good eye. lol
ReplyDeleteThe three female figurines were gorgeous. But, the Lady Margaret has a hair line crack through the entire left front of her frock. The Madonna has a hairline crack across her back. The last, the child at the piano, is actually a music box!
ReplyDeleteThe Piano babies were enormous and only one signed. Definitely not reproductions and in excellent condition.
ReplyDeleteThe gloves were a bust though the brown kid gloves are supposedly washable. Also brand new with tags but stained. The black gloves worn and have a hole. The yellow are perfect for Easter. The hangers/stretchers are the bomb! Have you ever?
