<p>[QUOTE=&quot;komokwa, post: 9396056, member: 301&quot;]You&#039;re taking things back to the market they came from.</p><p><br /></p><p>1. the market is there, and it&#039;s spring, ...so a good time to increase stock.</p><p>That means , you should find buyers.</p><p><br /></p><p>2. the market is there, so they should have no problem getting local stock , which means your items may not be in great demand.</p><p><br /></p><p>Also......the folks who stock antique malls......are like the folks here....they search out stock at rock bottom prices.....and sell as close to retail as possible.</p><p><br /></p><p>3. Some of your items , of higher quality....with good names.....or unique...or older ...will garner more interest ...and get higher prices , than say , your average fair.</p><p><br /></p><p>So taking several of your better items......that you know should be of interest, that you&#039;re willing to let go of in an effort score cash that you can put towards new finds, and better quality items , is a sound idea.</p><p><br /></p><p>4. If, on the other hand you don&#039;t wish to part with some of your good stock , taking a bunch of items you are actively looking to ..... part with...., is not a bad idea either, but they&#039;ll be harder to sell &amp; get way less money.</p><p><br /></p><p>5 . A mix of the two upper &amp; lower quality items , is yet another way to go , leaving it up to you as to who gets shown the gems......and who gets shown the also-rans.</p><p><br /></p><p>Are you going on the trip as a buyer or seller..???</p><p><br /></p><p>Trick question.....<img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie75" alt=":playful:" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /><img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie75" alt=":playful:" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /><img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie75" alt=":playful:" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" />.... as you always have to be ready to purchase, given the opportunity when spotting quality merchandise that you can get at a very good price.</p><p><br /></p><p>As basically a seller...... pack the damn car to the hilt , cuz you don&#039;t know who you&#039;ll run into or what they may be looking for !!!!!!!<img src="styles/default/xenforo/smilies/wink.png" class="mceSmilie" alt=";)" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p>Remember......you&#039;ll be selling to dealers in the marketplace....so only take the items you know about !</p><p><br /></p><p>Hi there : I have this pottery I found online. What do you think of it ?</p><p><br /></p><p>will not cut the mustard..........<img src="styles/default/xenforo/smilies/frown.png" class="mceSmilie" alt=":(" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p>Hello there : I have this Pueblo Blackware bowl , signed by Martinez , made around 1960.
