Day 1729 A hat trick!

6th May 2022

It was an unusual day, it rained, which was not unusual, but from a sales perspective there was an unexpected turn.

We were expecting someone to come and collect a small nightstand that we’ve had for longer that we wanted. Kelli had lowered the price quite a bit in order to move it.

When the buyers arrived they were happy with the nightstand, but we’re excited with the bright teal dresser that we had just posted. They weren’t put off by the high price on it, and as we had to do a bit of touching up before we would let it go, they asked to be notified when it was ready.

This was all the incentive we needed to tidy it up.

Kelli called later and offered free delivery, and it was sold. We loaded it in the truck and off we went. We returned with money in our hand and a belief that there are people out there who like striking colours.

Later we had a buyer for the white dresser that we had been holding for several days.

So in one day we sold three items, that doesn’t happen that often.

We had an inquiry from an existing customer to repaint a dresser that they had. They wanted it done in the same colour as the piece they bought from us, which was a light blue.

Hopefully they find the price acceptable.
