New goodness on eBay this week!
I listed to auction and to fixed price this week, and I didn't even really make a dent in the mountain of stuff that's waiting to be listed... I've been shopping like crazy this Spring! Hopefully I'll be getting a lot more of it up over the next couple of weeks, so stay tuned. :) I won't show off everything I listed here, just some of my favorites - click on over if you want to see everything!

Antique Mall Booth Update - March and April 2014
I know, I'm very, very late posting a booth update - I'm sorry, things have been crazy lately! But here I am now, ready to dish... :) First up, photos of my booth from April:
The short story is March was OK, and April sucked - even though I ran a two week 25% off sale at the end of the month.
There is some good news... my neighbor behind me installed new shelves, effectively creating a back wall for me, just like the shelf wall I have on the right side of my booth. So I don't need to go through the trouble and expense of building a new pegboard wall, like I had planned. Yay!
The other good news is that the mall is extending their hours until 9pm on Fridays and Saturdays for the summer. Here's hoping it helps... I need all the help I can get at this point... :P
Here's the breakdown:
March
Orange Recliner - $40.00
Gun Liquor Bottle - $12.00
Comet Coffee Pot - $15.00
Corning Coffee Pot - $15.00
Framed Needlepoint Bird - $28.80
Glass Canister Set - $32.00
Framed Boat Art - $30.00
Bird Wall Plaques - $18.00
Etch-A-Sketch - $18.00
Magazine Rack - $19.80
Total Sales: $228.60
- Rent: $72.00
- Commission: $21.20
Total Profit: $135.40 (not including cost of items and time spent)
April
Thermos - $5.25
Flour Sifter - $9.00
Black Cat Figurines - $9.00
Fire King Measuring Cup - $8.00
Total Sales: $31.25
- Rent: $72.00
- Commission: $2.48
Total Profit: -$43.23 (not including cost of items and time spent - and yes that is a negative profit there!)
