Our CL sales not very good
Think because of our area.
Liandra looking hard at that, you have been doing well. Most of our places are $200 and up.
On the consignment side we were doing great and now not so much. Most of the consignment places charge way to much. We have been lucky only charges 20%. But now issues there.
So word of advice get references before you consign. When we were selling a lot we were at the store at least once a week. Now sales have slowed due to the code telling her she can't put stuff in front of the store. When all this happened offered to pick up some of the stuff we have down there to give her more room. NO NO I got it. Store looks good but she has taken some liberties of selling our stuff. Had a coffee table and end table set for $35. I was there when a customer only wanted the end tables, so she looked at me can I bargain? I shook my head, did not know he only wanted the end tables. She sold them for $10, so that is $8 to me.
. Talked to her yesterday and she sold 2 of a set of 6 solid wood chairs for $10 a piece.
. Retail the chairs are $50 a piece. She said well it got them out of the storage. We have other chairs there not as nice for $20 a piece.
We don't have the storage right now to go pull everything.....
Also some of our items are not visibly for sale. Have two book shelves (they were selling like hot cakes) the price tag is hidden on them and she has her smalls on them.
Also I notice that her prices went up right before the code got on to her, so I think both have caused the slow down in sales. We are going to pull out all together it will just take us some time.
So do some research before you consign.
Thinking about doing the face book thing. Tried to talk her into doing it.
And looking at a space at antique mall this weekend. (same place we do the Flea Market so convenient).
Good luck everyone.
Update picked up $78 from the thrift. So sells picking up, We lowered a price on a table. And she said things were getting better. People know she is open even without stuff outside. So I will stop Whining. LOL
