<p>[QUOTE=&quot;verybrad, post: 183724, member: 37&quot;]We can because hardly anyone wants this stuff any more.&nbsp; Consequently, we also have to sell at bargain prices these days and know our markets really well.&nbsp; I have never seen it this bad or as competitive for customers.&nbsp; For every thing I buy that sells, I probably have two or three items languishing unsold at markdown prices or pulled and put in storage.&nbsp;&nbsp; While I fill my sales space out with smalls, I sell very few.&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>My business is based on selling cheap furniture and the occasional good find that is in demand.&nbsp; Of the latter, it means selling on-line since there is little demand locally for such items.&nbsp; The andirons are the exception since I am in Champaign-Urbana where the University of Illinois is located.&nbsp; They will find a local buyer at a good price.&nbsp;&nbsp; Those Ben Seibel bookends will never see the light of day in my sales space.&nbsp; They will go directly to ebay where there is someone who will know what they are and appreciate them.&nbsp; That pottery pitcher I bought will probably be a dud.&nbsp; I bought it mostly because I was intrigued by it, not because I thought it had good sales potential.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
