Life of a reseller - blow molds

Customers who took the soldier home

As a reseller you have to decide what to price everything you get. It's not as easy as it sounds. Many newbies think just looking up what's listed on eBay is the way to go. That's why you see many resellers with huge "death piles" of unsold items. Even the pros end up with a storage room full. 

So why the picture. Another reseller priced her blow mold soldiers the same price I priced my smaller and more used soldiers. Hers are in excellent condition, I would even say new. She didn't have time to look up what these are selling for so just went with what I was pricing mine at.  I thought she priced them way too low at $29.00 but they sold within a week. Her sell through rate was super fast and knowing how much she paid for them she made a good return on her investment. So the question is would they have sold for more? 
 

End of the year 2025

I've packed up all my Christmas decorations except this one. I like my hanging garland and think I'll keep it up a little bit longer. Took off all the ornaments so now it has a more winter vibe. 

I'm almost done tagging all the craft supplies I brought a few weeks ago. I had to order more labels which did arrive on Christmas Day. Hopefully I'm down to my last shoe box full. Then I just have to wait for everything to sell, which will take several months. This woman was a Lawn Fawn (CA stamp company) fan and I think she own everything they ever made. Yes I kept a tub full to try out. Some of the dies sets are super $$$ and I would never paid that much for them. Now I can try them before sell them off. I think of her as my fair godmother of crafting. :) 

I was totally wiped out yesterday. Spent the afternoon sorting out the jewelry at the store. Mainly my task was to go through the junk bags that are sold in bulk. I'm checking to see if any gold and silver was missed before it goes out on the floor. I have to say I found several pieces so now I understand why people are always asking for them.
