I wasn't going to make this post but here I am.
I was asked recently " why do you charge so much for your items?" Here is a breakdown...
1. I have to find the items that are unique enough to TRY and resell.
1a. Sourcing costs gas and time.
1b. I have to research those items. Time I take away from everyday life to do so on the internet with electricity.
2. I need to clean the item and sometimes repair that item.
2a. Cleaning supplies,water,glue etc are not free.
3. Try to display that item so it is presented nicely.
3a. Presentation is NOT my thing- so this costs me zero dollars but a bazillion mental stresses. :)
4. Figure out where I am going to sell the item.
4a. Ebay has fees.
4b. Antique Mall has fees.
4c. If listed on ebay- I have to store the item. Currently I have near 1000 items on ebay stored.
4d. If the item is in one of the booths at the antique mall- I need to go to the mall and keep those spots tidy. I'm also not great at this at the moment.
If an item sells - trip to the mall to fill that spot which brings us back to #1 to start the cycle over.
That's the long answer.
Short answer....because... just because.
I LOVE RESELLING- It's in my blood. I will forever resell until God tells me otherwise.
My Pepere did it, my dad did it and so I do it.
If you got this far...thanks! Hope you have a fantastic day! Blessings!!!
