[QUOTE="judy, post: 338490, member: 965"]Yesterday was my last day of selling at the shop I've been in for over 35 years. An auctioneer from Concord, NH took all my remaining stock, which in reality is a blessing. It means no more lugging & packing for me. But it also means no more interacting with customers, or that nice feeling of seeing my merchandise being bought and loved by some else. I will still go to the shop a couple more times until the owners have cleared out their stock completely (same auctioneer). But without customers coming in, there will be no reason for me to stay the whole day. I will now only buy smalls if I think I can sell them on ebay, and hope that I have only honest buyers....so far I have. I don't care how well one's description is, or how wonderful the photos, none of it matters to the dishonest buyer. And we all know eBay is 99% for the buyer. I wouldn't trade the experience for anything. I've always loved buying and selling.:cat:[/QUOTE]
