You may have a problem if…


You may have a problem if… you to an estate sale and make a deal with the reseller to purchase the while LOT of Department 56 Heritage and Dickens houses and accessories!  Yep, the seats are all the way folded in the back and it’s full from side to side three foot deep AND two bins in the back of the truck as well!!  67 items total after inventory. Yep. I’m still listing them this week and this was purchased two weekends ago!

…and because you buy so much stuff (crap!) that you are selling you have to purchase bubble wrap to wrap said stuff to ship and you go to a store where they have a 750 (SEVEN HUNDRED AND FIFTY FEET) of bubble wrap at a little more than you just paid for 250 feet, so you buy it!

It’s comical and I just had to share!!

Other than that Butch asked how it’s all going after all this was not the original plan for me to buy/sell but the big bit. The original plan was to cull out the things that have been inherited and accumulated throughout the years. Honestly. I have a LOT of inventory right now so I need to chill on buying.  (and yet I went today as well. Yeah, I don’t learn!)

The bottom line is o have lost on TWO items. The mini tea sets amd one other item that if I aggregate that loss over that day’s purchase it may not really BE a loss. So right now my issue is inventory. 

Now I have to think about what’s been re-donated. I haven’t looked at those. They are a loss as well so I should look at those as well. Nawh we won’t tell Butch about those. BUT those aren’t often either. Oh and a few broken items.
