Crazy week for me getting prepped for the show. I managed only one listing. I have several vintage Halloween items and it’s driving me nuts that I don’t have them listed. However, we load two 26-ft trucks tomorrow for the show and then we deliver them to the Grange Wednesday morning and then the madness begins.
Happy Birthday CristineR! Congrats Amatino and welcome Molly! Sharyn…here’s your chance!
Hope everyone has a great week ahead!
Welcome Molly and hello to everyone!
Last week before the madness hits and my to-do list for the show is growing, not getting shorter, so I will try to get some listing in this week, but no hopes for a high number. Any number is a good number since the next couple of weeks will be zip for me.
I listed 25 items last week.
Have a great first week of October!
I noticed it too! Certainly is motivating…but you are right Sharyn, I do have a show coming up and I will be out of commission for a couple of weeks. Hopefully only two. So I have this week and next week and then showtime. And once I get into November my Amazon store takes up the majority of my time, but we’ll see if I can’t do a little listing then also. I have a whole bunch of cool vintage Christmas that will need to go on Ebay so I will be concentrating on that primarily.
You are so funny Amatino! 🙂
Happy Monday to everyone! I listed 26 items last week. Starting to get into show mode, but hoping to get two more weeks of decent listing in before the madness begins.
Hope everyone has a great week!
Nose to the grindstone time for me now….I wish I could say my death piles are getting smaller, but I am picking more than I am listing right now. I did get 51 listings done and that felt good, but it’s just a drop in the bucket. Glad to have the inventory, no complaints there. My bf is going to start helping with taking pics and that should speed things up.
Hope everyone has a great week!
Amatino, my skin was cringing in sympathy as I read your story….I am so so sorry you have been through and continue to go through such a nightmare!!! You deserve only GOOD things to happen for the rest of the year, or at least an uneventful next three months. Sending you healing thoughts and best wishes for only positive events from here on out.
I should have never set a goal of 75…wishful thinking. I had forgotten that I was going to the beach for the weekend. One last hurrah before the insanity of 4th quarter begins. I listed 29 items this week.
I second Vintage Treasures. Amatino, hope everything is okay with you..a bit worried since you didn’t post numbers last week and haven’t written this week. Sending good thoughts your way.
The creamer isn’t something I would list online, because I have such a backlog of items to list and I have other outlets to sell things. I would be more likely to bring it to one of my booth shows or sell it at my big Brookhaven show in the kitchen vignette, priced at $8. $8 tends to be a good move-it-out price point for me…it’s under $10 and a good impulse purchase number.
It looks very farmhouse and farmhouse is a hot look. If I listed it, I would be sure to put Farmhouse Kitchen in the title.
Quieter week for me overall so I was able to do 47 listings. oh…so…close…to 50! My goal. Ack! Just couldn’t quite get there….but this week I am determined to do 75. This is my last month before the insanity of 4th quarter begins…so must take advantage.
Hope everyone has a great week and Happy Labor Day!
Reporting zero listings for the week.
My 12 year old nephew spent the week with me and we did lots of auntie/nephew fun stuff, going to the beach, going to the Tillamook cheese factory, going to OMSI, going to estate and garage sales (cause gotta train them young), movies and so forth. Building lots of memories, but no time to list. All my free time was spent getting ready for the big antique outdoor show yesterday in Oregon City.
Amatino you are too funny! It may sound like fun, and it is, but it’s also just plain hard work. Just like the rest of us who do this for a living. Someone years ago made the unkind statement to me that my life is basically packing boxes, unpacking boxes, and moving boxes. There’s a grain of truth in that, which made it smart a bit. I have come to accept that this lifestyle means living in organized chaos.
And I embrace that.
I had 30 new listings this week. Was hoping for more but you know how it goes.
Gearing up for our biggest antique fair of the summer this Sunday in Oregon City. They shut down Main Street and line the street with booths. It’s huge fun, even though we have to be there at 5am to set up. The diehard collectors are there by 5:30, with their flashlights, poking around as you unpack your stuff. It opens officially at 8am, but they don’t care. We don’t either, since we usually have several good sales while still setting up. I save my truly quirky weird higher end items for this sale as it attracts the bigger spenders. They will drop $50, $75, $100 on an old book.
Hope everyone has a great week!
Thanks Sharyn and Amatino! I call my car Stella and she’s a beast. It’s astonishing what I can fit in her, especially when I tetris it. God bless those stow and go seats…makes all the difference in the world. My boyfriend was so impressed he went last week and bought himself the same model. He was thinking about a truck but he’s in the picking business too and Stella won him over. 🙂

Thanks Sharyn…I thought I was doing it right. Let’s try it again. I am copying the link from imgur.com, direct link. Is that the right one to copy?
So sorry for your poor fingers Amatino!!!
