I seem to have a knack for finding great used items. Rather than leave them behind Hubby and I had a good talk and with all the excitement of his new business I told him my dream of having a part-time reselling business. For now, I am in the picking-only phase.
Before we move I will gather items for resell - maximum two rubbermaid containers. This way I no longer have to leave these items behind and will have a good start with some stock when I get the business started. We travel a lot and I can also pick while travelling. I am so excited!
Our whole dream of being financially self-sufficient is having multiple revenue streams. Stock, real estate (owning home outright plus we are buying a rental property within a year or two), Hubbys business which includes sales training, consulting, media buying, speaking events and writing a book, and my part-time reselling business. I will also be the landlord of the rental property with occassional help from hubby. I have some choices ahead: Etsy, Ebay, Flea market and also possibly as a vintage picker for some antique dealer friends I have on Vancouver Island. I may also choose to get work outside of these businesses, but If I do, it will be something that makes my heart happy.
We are finally getting our life!

Good luck with your new business venture. Love your background graphics, BTW. Very pretty.
ReplyDeleteThat palmistry dish is certainly interesting! I've never seen anything like it. Your items are so cool and I like your goals! I'm your newest follower!
ReplyDeleteI could just read about other peoples great finds all day long.
ReplyDeleteGreat finds.
Howdy ~ Love the Vintage Palmistry Porcelain Tray. Like you, I am picking up items for resale, and hoping to get my business off the ground soon (I'm going to rent a shelf at an antique mall here in Minnesota). Good luck with your business...you really do have a nack for finding things! :)
ReplyDeleteThose are amazing finds! I know how much effort you exerted to be able to find all these stuff and I’m sure it’ll all pay off soon. I hope you find more vintage items and net more customers. Good luck!

Those are really great finds! You have a great eye on those because vintage stuff are usually pricey. I think the resale value of those items is more than double.
