<p>[QUOTE="Mr S, post: 10513993, member: 92076"]That's part of my problem. With work I'm always driving and near a good thrift store or peddlers mall in an area people don't price check or know what they have lol. Ive found that I have somewhat of an affinity for finding rarish things dirt cheap and I don't think I've ever paid close to retail on anything. Id say about 90% of everything I've gotten has been found at 10-20% of the Etsy/eBay sold values. Thrift stores and auctions in bfe have faired me well lol. And good news is the wife did find out she'll be getting a booth on Aug 1st in the rich part of town at a more upscale consignment shop. Everything at that place is priced at retail or slightly under and they do 5-10k of sales a day with less than 40 booths. So should be a good start. And yes I have accounted for taxes on capital gains & commission once we start selling and I've kept every receipt. Based on some of the calculations I've done well be at almost 2x profit on anything I've bought selling it at 10-25% off retail values (god willing our things actually sell lol )[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
