May was not bad at all. Had a sale every day except one.
Sold (more or less) 65 items
Listed 122 items (approximately lol - did addition in my head)
Spent 545 (maybe once gain math in my head)
Have not added up the gross/net yet. I just listed March on my spread sheet.
I spend/sourced more judicially this month. And thank god, no Doll Auctions coupled with a KY Derby Auction (that really killed me last month).
My listing tapered off and that will catch up with me real soon.
Went to several Estate Sales this weekend and found little. What I did want but could not get to in time, were a slew of Painted Ponies, but someone bought all of them the day before.
This morning I went to a 50% off Estate Sale in a warehouse and got some good stuff for 51$ Two James Dean figurines. There was a Marilyn, but one of her hands was missing the fingers. A Humphrey Bogart was missing a hand. Dang it. Found two Secretariat mugs.
Went to an In-person auction yesterday but did not stay, They had some good stuff but I am not crazy about the way the auction is operated. They will bid on an area, lets say the back corner, loaded with ceramics and porcelain. Someone will bid 35$ and win and will be able to have "winner pick" then the auctioneer will allow anyone else willing to pay 20 and let them pick what they want and on and on until they start again. It is not very much fun and I would rather have one item or a box lot to bid on. We left, J was restless and tired anyway.
Drove a million miles to southern KY to pick up a big load of RS Prussia porcelain that I won on an online auction. I only bid on the low hanging fruit. I need to be schooled on porcelain and what is old and not reproductions etc. I messed up and picked up two Limoges fakes in May. Hard to sell fakes. You can't call it Limoges if it is a reproduction. The Limoges Police on E-bay will find you.
Much to learn.
