<p>[QUOTE="verybrad, post: 9764022, member: 37"]I am on a roll..... A friend of mine was having an <i>estate</i> sale in a local mall. He rented one of the vacant store-fronts for a month and loaded it up. Some of it was from an estate he purchased but much of it was his own merchandise, along with a bit from a couple others. I didn't know he was doing it but happened to see him one afternoon as he was loading merchandise in. He invited me to bring some items, so I brought in a very small selection due to the short notice. His take is 20%.</p><p><br /></p><p>One thing I did bring in was the Herman Miller DAX chair I bought just over a year ago. I had listed it on fb marketplace for over 6 months with no bites at $385.00. I had even posted it in a Chicago MCM furniture group. It was off-market all Winter. I left the price the same, knowing that there would be a 25% discount the second day and a 50% discount today and tomorrow. It sold for full price the first day. I only had $10.00 in it so I am quite happy.</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]480438[/ATTACH] </p><p><br /></p><p>I also brought in the watercolor I had just picked up.
