What Recession?

 AKA The Doll Auction

Pocketbooks were open. Some of the old faces were not there. Some new ones. Same old same old. Not as exciting as my first auction, but I got most everything I wanted and that is all that matters. I spent over budget, but that was due to buyer premiums and sales tax. Do I need a tax certificate? 

Sales have absolutely tanked this week, According to my calendar this is the last day of the selling week and to date I have sold 3 items this week! Only three!! I know better to panic but I just spent 450 bucks on Barbie dolls and I have not sold a Barbie doll in some time. Well, that's not true I sold the old 1960 Barbie with the bubble cut and one chewed off foot this week for 7.50$ 

Pictures are awful because I used my work horse phone as the Samsung is not activated to work outside the house WIFI.

Oh Baby! Spent 70$ on her, she is listed on EBAY for 200+

Another load of Spice Girls Spent 30$ Should get 85 or more for them.

Frank. Paid 10$ looking for 55$

Pain up 70$ for this box of Hallmark Barbie ornaments but after comping them out, should gross approximately 500$ (HA! HA!) The Barbie and the ornaments were my big pays.

 My favorite and pleasantly surprised that I only spent 25 bucks! Creepy Oddity Dolls heads. 

 The way the bidding was flying money was no object. I imagine they wait and save up for these marathons of an auction. After five hours they began the lightening round. that is where I picked up the majority of the left over Barbies. Thank God no collectors remained. I belive the one before this one I paid WAY TOO MUCH for a lot of Barbies. 245$ I believe. I think I  broke even. I learned a lesson. You can not be emotional and you need to do your homework.

Learning every day.

Gosh I hope sales pick up. The algorithm  God's need to give me a break!
