January Booth Sales

Well my brilliant plan paid off. Upgrading to a bigger space was just what I needed. It makes sense that not all people would visit the display cases, or if they did, they might not be as likely to buy since you can’t really pick things up on impulse, you know, since you have to have the case unlocked. As of now I am still paying for the case in addition to the booth, but that might change in a few months. I split the case with a friend and she is hesitant to give it up. Well here is what I sold, after 10% commission (both booth and case)

Well I lost money in my display case in December.

I sold, after 10% commission:

Royal Albert Christmas Plate 10.80-.01 cost (auction)= 10.79
Nativity 4.50 -.50 cost (VOA) =4.00
Candlestick 1.80-.01 cost (auction) =1.79

Total after commission and costs= 28.55 -52$ rent= -$23.45

So naturally, if I'm in the red, the next step is to rent a bigger space. Yes, that's exactly what I did. We'll see how that pans out.
