Already getting warm in the 85 degree weather.  The crowds have to go down.  If not I'll have to clean the hood of my car so can fry some eggs while waiting for all the looky-loos in July.

Think we can already fry some eggs down here. 

Missed the auction yesterday. Unexpected appointment came up. Have none today, a few tomorrow and a hand full next week. Have to get my fix has been toooooooo long. Have conceded to just go even if we don't get one. 

Thanks for the input forevertreasures.

The thrift we us is mainly consignment, she posted what was paid out in consignment for Feb. Not sure how she paid her rent. It was over 2K but at 30% does not cover her rent.

Wished she had a policy like yours of after 30 days end of consignment pick up your item. When she first open she took what ever she could get, someone brought in a nice vintage bar, with stools. It is still there taking up space he wants $2500 for the thing may be worth that but not in our area. Ok I will stop ranting.

We have pulled several things that have not sold trying to sell them on CL slow going. I have helped her in the past of going in and helping organize things for free. We stop buy about once a week and half our stuff is covered up why it is not selling. I guess I need to go down there and work on getting our stuff uncovered just so it will sell. She gets more out of the cheep particle board furniture than we can so worth taking it too her.

She did hit a bump in the road of not putting things out on the side walk buy Code. I know that hurt a lot of her sales but good grief. Sorry did not stop.

Sounds like with the other business you have going is helping.

Ok you guys ready for this ?

 He said I could put it up at auction here at a local upper class auction and would get 8K min for sure...

Will let you know how it all goes over the next couple of days...

This I will say was a good luck of the draw....Its all a gamble this one just payed off BIG TIME.

Thanks for the update. That is really great. Even on the low end. Good luck finding that buyer. 

Welcome aboard.

Have fun at the auctions this Sat. It can be interesting.

Glad you are not in our neck of the woods anything that looks like possible antiques lockers go crazy. We have a few regulars that are into them and markets to sell them.

Let us know what you think after you attend.

Wow that is great.

Love the dumpster husband hates them.

Imagine what would happen if Wal-Mart were to adjust prices based on outward appearances? Do you think some people would be outraged?

The profiling listed in this thread is how different ethnic groups shop.

And in a flea market atmosphere it is not like shopping at Wal-Mart.  You have a sales person at every booth trying to make a sale, and knowing your customers and how they view things helps.

Hispanic all about the haggle, rarely the price.  So knowing that you have your price and can decide weather to haggle or not but knowing you are going to get haggled you are ready to handle it with class.

If you see a women with three kids in tow and she could really use a stroller and you have one, would you stick to your price or sell cheaper because she did not have enough money for it and looked poor ?

Karma  I would
Even if she is pulling my leg my good karma her bad.
