I've sorted out all the treasures I've acquired over the years and I've just realised I haven't got the foggiest idea how to price them?
Where do I start...
I washed an eiderdown that I thought I could take, I then read Sophie's blog Fading grace re. her love of eiderdowns and guess what...
I don't think I can part with it.
And ANYWAY how much would I charge for it?
The same with a rag rug, that has been languishing in the attic...
and so on and so forth...
Dah dee dah, dee dah,
talk amongst yourselves, while I try and get to grips with this addition to not letting go.
I'm only pleased I never smoked; it's been blooming hard giving up my dairy obsession, it was only my butter-ball bum that clinched it. If you know what I mean?
So that's the state of play...
Pathetic I know, I need some serious counselling, anyone up to the job?
Oooh well this is a tricky one that I deal with on a daily...well weekly basis!!!! I'm ALWAYS SAYING it's staying then on a mad impulse I sell things. Can't say more than that really it's usually a split second thing! One regret, a quilt dated 1879 with a beautiful poem and cherubs,,, sold for a nice profit but wish I had it now....does this help? xx May the force be with you, lots of love xx
ReplyDeleteP.s Thanks for the mention xxx
ReplyDeleteI would suggest going to a antique shop/market and having a browse at their prices, but I fear you may bring more home with you!

p.s pass us the cheese.xx
I don't think you an charge as much at a fair as an antiques centre and people don't expect to pay those prices - the overheads aren't the same. Having said that I nearly sold out at the last fair I did possibly because I didn't charge enough!
