It's dismal, but getting better. I spent way too much money on sourcing this month. Around 1900$ And I only sold around 1000$ I'm not finished with April yet, I have 4 or 5 items to mail and reconcile, but it looks like I need to really, really, really cut back on sourcing this month (May).
I did get a lot of extremely great stuff that will sell in the long run. I typically do not get stuff that is a quick flip. I love a quick flip, but these items are hit or miss with a quick turn around. They are more of an investment.
The Auction House that I love - I spent 750$ but this is what I got:
1) Painted Ponies
2) Horse of a Different Color
3) Barbie Dolls
4) Hallmark Keepsake Barbie Ornaments
5) Spice Girls
6) Madame Alexander
7) Cabbage Patch Dolls
8) Ceramic Doll Heads - Antique, Vintage and Modern
As soon as I get them all posted I'll estimate the expected profit.
I found 18 Barbies for 100$ on FB Mkt.
I found another auction house that I have picked up Toby's and some exquisite china.
I won an auction for 21$ plus fees - maybe 25$. I thought it was for 4 tea cups/saucers that were not identified and so I took a chance. Ends up I won the entire cabinet! Marigold Carnival Glass quite possible Fenton (unmarked). Blenko and a bunch of other interesting things.
I also won 14 Belt Buckles for around 93 bucks - I've listed 3 of them so far. Belt Buckles have sold well for me in the past. In time I should have made my profit from those,
Some of it (usually my lots) includes some crap, but it is a crap shoot. A gamble.
