Yeah that fee was there when I started selling. But I get 100 listings a month. Cost of doing business.

Sell anywhere else and the commission is higher. We pay 20% at a thrift (She just went up to 30%)

All other places charge 50% so 13% not to bad.

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

This was fun. Got a text right before 9:00 PM. Is item still available? yes, What kind of truck did it come out of? F150, Where is it located? 

This is a $150 item.   Will you take $80 for it? NO.

Ended the text LOL

Very pretty set. As for what the markings on the back say....do you have a chinese market or restaurant in your area that you frequent? I have taken items to our local chinese buffet for interpretation. They are always glad to help.

Never thought of that. Out here in the country forget about the things in the city. LOL

Might just hit them up.

That would be nice. Picked it up for $5 so no matter what I think I am a head. 

Only 13 pcs. though. 5 cups and saucers, tea pot, sugar bowl, and creamer.

I could sell you mine at a VERY reasonable rate ! 

LOL
After shipping might be crumbleparticale board. 

Well it was selling at the thrift until County code got on to her. We have only had to dispose of 2 pieces so far.

And other SB GIVE it to us. LOL

C'mon Money, you CAN do it!!!  If I can use a smart phone, anyone can!  It certainly has its advantages.

LOL
Have a plain jane phone (need to upgrade). Think I could figure it out. But I feel I spend so much time researching on the computer and still none the wiser, Would use up all my data per month on research on one item.  LOL

Using my Aunt as my smart phone she has been a collector for years. She did not know about my tea set I have. Need to take picks and put on here, sure someone on here may know something about it. The stamp is in Chinese. 

Thanks for your vote of confidence.
