4th June Tuesday
Selling reloved furniture is not easy, there is no buying pattern, therefore no predictions for if, or when we sell something.
We have a small dresser that hasn’t sold, it’s been a couple of weeks and one change of handles, but no bites.
There are the side tables that haven’t sold either, so the month is looking dire even though it’s still early in the month.
I’m working on two dressers hoping to break the sales famine.
Just as dissolution starts to set in there is some action.
A lady that has bought from us before wanted a dresser for a holiday let so she drove over to look at the walnut top dresser we finished yesterday. Although that one was not the right colour for her room, she was keen on the mid century piece I had started on. A quick discussion on finish and it was sold. She handed over a deposit, and now it was down to me to prepare it for painting.
Later we sold the walnut top dresser to a person who also wanted a second piece that Kelli found in Muskegon that was very similar.
Near the end of the after noon Kelli announced that the small dresser had been sold at a knock-down price. That hurts, but having it sitting in the storeroom is no good to us.
We had to run out to pick up a free desk that was very close, this will be converted into another pair of side tables.
So in reflection, what started out a bit bleak ended up a bit more positive, I guess it’s all about thinking positive.
