Movin On Up...

 I am thinking I should start updating this blog again. About 3 months ago I started a stall at a local vintage market. It all started with trying to declutter. I have so much old junk that  I needed a way to get rid of it. I don't like throwing things away, and I am good at finding things "worth" something, so I decided a stall would be a good way to go. It took awhile to fill a stall, but it's starting to look quite packed.

The main things I've been selling are not what I would have first expected. Things like west german pottery and vintage cameras have been selling quite slowly.  Some big sellers have been denim jackets, shoes (from vans to docs) and books! I didn't actually think anyone bought books anymore, but if you find the right one, I guess people still do (I buy books, but I'm a hoarder!)

Anything NBA related also sells. But then, some things have also been getting stolen! I luckily started putting magnetic tags on most of my clothing, but before then a few tees and jackets walked out. I can't understand what type of person would steal from a vintage market, it seems really low. Especially when the product isn't being mass produced, it's hand picked and flipped. It might be one of a kind. If I saw anyone wearing the stolen tees and jackets, I would know straight away, becaue they are vintage and not made anymore. I'd probably punch them - I've considered putting something along those lines on a sign in my stall.

Its been interesting so far, and it's something I'd like to eventually do full time. I just wish I'd gotten into it earlier. The best part about it is I get to op shop now with less guilt. There's nothing more fun than finding something cheap and flipping it for 10x the price.
