[QUOTE="SeaGoat, post: 4473158, member: 1136"]Resellers, what's going on out there in yalls corner of the world? I feel like I'm just floating, trying to make a guess at what will sell, which I know is totally dependent on regions.. I have a very small booth, a whole 64 sqft, but we've been working well together for many years now.. It hasn't been difficult to find stuff I think would sell, but now, I'm in a rut and I'm not sure if it's me or an unenthusiastic economy. I'm selling stuff, sure, mostly random old stock I've had laying around, but there seems to be no rhyme or reason. Usually I theme my booths out with the energy in my local area.. Ie. The last couple years have leaned towards patriotic/love of country and small town, before that primitives/farm house, before that industrial, etc But now, it's like the air is stagnant, like everyone is holding their breath, irritated. ...and how do you sell irritation? :bored: Here we are experiencing a major BOOM in housing development, which at first everyone was excited to see their houses selling at double plus what they bought them for a couple years ago, but now everyone seems irritated about taxes going up and that on any empty acre they are shoving 4 houses, cow pastures are turning into 400+ house neighborhoods.. And you'd think that would create a big market for us, but these houses are going to people from up north, or people fleeing Atlanta and the over populated suburbs, all these who already have established furnishings and decor, not your young excited couples in need of everything. Dont get me wrong, people are still buying, it's nothing like it was last year, I'm making rent, with [SIZE=2]some[/SIZE] spending and savings after the cost of everything, but moving forward the market feels stagnant with no trend in sight. :depressed: Is anyone else feeling this? What direction is yalls areas moving in?[/QUOTE]
