June is busting out all over!

Well at least flower and tree wise with all the pollen! I' d rather have this than snow and cold!
The antiques and collectibles buyers aren't busting out their wallets. May was bad bad BAD! Oh yeah the antiques mall was down traffic wise and especially saleswise.
I did a revamp and stacked items higher in anticipation of a weeklong sale later this month. I'll also do the outside fleamarket for 1 day in hopes of at least getting back the gas money.
At the auctions things are going and not necessarily dirt cheap. I think some buyers are savvy to the auctions and will buy there thinking they are getting a better deal, often the knockdown is higher than I could have priced it. They are bidding against each other as I watch dealer after dealer drop out of the bidding after a short time.
The pickings at yard sales are slim too for items I can resell. If you want clothes, kitchen appliances or toddler toys you can find bargains galore.
Hopefully good weather will bring out more sales.
