I've had my vintage booth for almost a year

3. I'm thinking that way

I mostly sell low-priced things. I check prices, and usually tag at 1/4-1/3 sold values. A few things I put a Hail Mary price on, and sometimes I am happily surprised.

We collected from late 70s until 2014 and since we were buying stuff either because it was a bargain compared to prices at the time, or hoping something would become collectible, or something would become more valuable as time went on, I think our stuff reflects collecting trends from that era. I see different trends now, not just Beanie Babies or Franklin Mint type collecting, but era, item, and names. MCM, useful and advertising are all big here. The advertising doesn't have to be super old, either.

During Covid, I sorted, sold 4 large lots of stuff to dealers. I had 1 good sale, one disappointing. And then got the booth. (storage with benefits! lol ) While I was sorting, I wAs time goes on, it is getting easier to add to the sell pile. lol

You sound further along than I am. If I ever get down to where I want to be, hope I can go looking and buying again. I have been out about 3 or 4 times since 2015 and it is still a ball!
