<p>[QUOTE="verybrad, post: 854541, member: 37"]Since you first posted this, we have had a slew of dealers come and go from our mall. Most just didn't put in enough time to make their space viable as a business. There really wasn't anything wrong with their merchandise, though some were not competitive price-wise. You can't come in once or twice a month and make a go of it. Several of the dealers have increased their space and many of us do quite well. There is a core group of us who have been here the 7 years since the business started. I have settled in to 200 square ft. and supplement my income from the booth by working. It provides a good balance of secure working income and sales profit income. BTW: the low sales I reported above for May 2016 were an anomaly. My sales have been consistently good ever since.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
