[QUOTE="SeaGoat, post: 135411, member: 1136"]What sells for me: Farmish type items. I had a 5 gal milk can leave in less than 2 days at $60. Painted ladder back chairs (really, any painted chair), painted furniture that has a stained top does well for me too, a vintage double sided calk board went really quick, and old galvanized mail box on a post. When it comes to "brown" furniture, I have found that the warmer browns do better if its mixed with something trendy. The dark browns will sit and sit There seems to be no rhyme or reason to smalls. I dont like them but they help with staging. Baseball items seem to do well, BUT we are a big baseball community. Colored insulators go as well if they are priced at $7, anything above and they sit. What does not sell well for me: Side tables. Ugh! Occupied Japan, MCM smalls (but I dont buy much of it because its not my fav era), vintage photos, well, men sell WAY better than women (but I do keep all the good ones for myself :D), small pieces of advertising, knick knack smalls in general, esp glass[/QUOTE]
