ike Posted October 22, 2015 Report Posted October 22, 2015 I am sad for one of you and Happy for the other. I have had a long spell when people don't to pay for anything but it is changing here so just keep trying to sell and maybe it will change down there. and kevin slow down before you kill yourself.

Kepy Posted October 23, 2015 Report Posted October 23, 2015 I hear you. People in my area want everything at garage sale prices. I have quit trying to sell and do what I want and give it to someone who I think will appreciate it. I have items for the people who deliver meals to my homebound mother, another set for the members of my woodcarving group, will deliver an item to the nurses at the Dr's office today, another to my Vet, am finishing items for the mail carriers. I have also given items to some friends who have been supportive of me lately. I have found that I get a lot more satisfaction from giving than I ever did from selling. However, Kevin, my health has gotten worse rather than improving so don't think that will work. Scrolling Steve 1 Quote

Jim Finn Posted October 23, 2015 Report Posted October 23, 2015 I have been verry sucessfull in making things that sell. I have also made a lot of things that do not sell well at all. I no longer make those things. If you want to make things to sell, you have to find out, through tial and error, what will sell and at what price. Then decide if it is worth it to you to make them. I have also given a lot of things away to friends and relitives but selling stuff is way more rewarding to me. Not for the money but for the positive feedback I get when a stranger likes it well enough to spend a little for it. Quote
StephenD Posted October 23, 2015 Report Posted October 23, 2015 I made and took some items to my sister. I told her ahead of our arrival, "If you don't need it give it to someone who does." That worked real well. She kept a few items and made some other folks happy. Quote
orangeman Posted October 24, 2015 Report Posted October 24, 2015 Have you looked at the weekend shows on some square in Savannah? Too far for me as I live 6 hours away and kin moved from Savannah to FL. Also check into the Aikin Makin show not too far away in Ailen, SC. Quote
