How big is the store space? Are you guys going to run the business or will you rent it out? Salons are always profitable!
Our little downtown is trying to come alive, too. A friend of ours is starting a martial arts school and living in the apartment connected which I think is really smart. He is putting up walls and hanging ceiling fans and doing electrical things to convert the space to his needs.
Update: A manager called me back. She stated that the example of the listing that I gave her never had anything but one photo… which is not the case since I always put at least 3 pics. Anyways, I told her how unprofessional this entire exchange was, that they knew there was a bug, that 50 of my listings were affected, and I wanted a credit. She told me the “work around” was to reupload the photos. Omg I can’t even… Lol… Well I don’t have them cuz I use the app so they aren’t saved. At the end of the day I got my credit but these people are incredibly rude!! Thanks for letting me vent. Now to retake pics! A chance to rearrange some stuff with the better knowledge I’ve learned from all of you guys (including saving all my pics) and trying to stay positive.
I called today about my 50 listings that this affected. They acted like they had never heard of such a thing! They were very rude. They told me there is no credit for customers for this problem. I told them several people I know have had their accounts credited and asked to talk to a manager (lol)…. Currently waiting on a call back.
First all, I turned on the podcast today and it was so funny to hear you guys talk about my situation. I’ve been listening for a while and my daughter was home today because of President’s Day and heard too. I said, “That’s me they are talking about!!” So fun.
Anyways, I am implementing the changes you guys suggested. I sold $138 worth of things since making this post. Yay! I am happy with that number. Thanks to all the comments and suggestions. I had been doing relatively well with my sales (for me) but last week was a slump and at the worst possible time. I know these things change but I appreciate the support and tips.
Thanks Jay. Y’all have been a total inspiration. I appreciate your podcast and this forum more than you know.
Ok guys. I want to thank you all so much for taking time out of your day to help me. The resounding advice is my prices are too high. I took my coffee time this morning going over all the clothing and items that were donated to me or I already had on hand and slashed the prices. I’ll let you know what happens. Y’all are the best!!!
Not harsh at all. Random stuff sells. Its so hard to pinpoint any one thing. I think I need to mess around with the prices some more.

I live near millions of thrift stores including a goodwill outlet. Family and friends are constantly giving me things to sell in my store, too. 60% of what is listed was donated to me or was hanging around my house. I just recently, since last summer, started buying things for the store. (I also feel slightly awkward about sharing my store. I hope its not too amateurish.)
