Thrift Share uh.... Tuesday

I've been looking for bar stools for the house since we moved in last April. We have never had a proper bar counter before and of course I was particular in what kind of stools I wanted. I finally came across this set of vintage Fiberglass Chairs on Craigslist for $150.

I wasn't sure if the height would work and it was wonderful to know that I could place them in my Mod Sonoma space at Antique Society if they didn't work out. When I placed them next to the counter they were perfect. Keiran wanted to have his lunch there and Dave enjoyed his dinner on the new chairs since he eats later then us. It helped make the kitchen feel more like home.

I had a crazy busy weekend that started on Thursday at an estate sale and carried through all the way to Sunday at the Flea Markets. I'm completely adoring the opportunity to buy for a physical venue. It changes my buying game and as you know, I do like to shake things up to keep life exciting.

Yesterday these were my sales:

• Vintage Camera - Antique Society $18
• Bitossi Ashtray - eBay $30
• Laural Burch Mug - eBay $15
• Mastering Health Care (book) - Amazon $49
• Heavy Duty II (book) - Amazon $75

Total for the day: $ 187

This is really the type of financial goal that I am searching for. I wanted multiple venues that together would make up a healthy day of sales. It does fluctuate of course and yesterday was better than other days. Saturday though I sold a lamp at Antique Society for $150 which added a boost to my daily sales number.

This is a much longer conversation then a Thrift Share Monday Tuesday post. I'll continue this soon and delve into it deeper.

Those stools are great but those sales are even better! I know it takes time to establish a business but I'm very impatient and want to take leaps and bounds instead of baby steps. Your reselling posts are always thoughtful and informative. Can't wait for the next one!

I am a new reader at ATG and have enjoyed reading the archives! I'm putting my big toe in the water, so to speak, and have ventured back to eBay to sell a great deal of my vintage Fisher Price toy collection. (Alas, those obsessions seem to come and go!). All your selling tips are just great. I especially liked the ones in your archives about packaging and shipping. Thanks for sharing so much. Your business is very inspiring!

The stools look right where they belong! My first thought: does the seat really belong to the frame originally? In a way it looks assembled, but it may be my eyes deceiving me!
Great sales too! Now that summer's (almost) over, it will pick up even more, I'm sure!

Thanks for sharing your daily numbers $$. I'm always curious what people consider to be a good or bad money day in the on-line resale business and having a number of venues does seem to be a great strategy for you. Good luck with your new space.
