❤❤That exactly what I do!!!😂

That would have been awful to watch such a beautiful chicken die. Thank you for the instructions to save them from chocking.

If you need the instructions in an emergency, skip to 1:45

Try weed paper it is great

Very spooky!!

The brass vase was a great find!

Pretty amazing! Treasures.

Haley it is great to see you! I miss my chickens and the daily eggs. They are sooo good. We named ours too. The cleaning was not fun but the payoff was worth it. 🐓🐓

Thanks for the info, but i will say i have a slightly different perspective. I havent started in a mall but im about to and have an entire room of inventory, i could pay for storage to hold more inventory for Ebay, FB etc which would be around $70+ a month, while getting a booth here will cost me $140 & 8%. I would rather store my stuff in a booth and get foot traffic while having somewhere to also store inventory and expand. Something to think about! All about perspective, and honestly your crazy rent and percentage does make a difference.

Thanks. For some, it's a side hustle and hopefully enjoyable .

Very helpful. Thank you so much!!

Many buyers are creatures of habit and will stop by your booth again in about eight weeks. If it looks the same on their next trip they will just walk by. Other dealers are also good buyers. Change regularly and find unique stuff.

I would rather earn less than minimum wage and keep making it work - pinch pennies be frugal and and just grind HARD than work at McDonald’s or kfc Taco Bell for more money. Money is NOT everything I worked in high paying corporate jobs where my soul was dying the stress was intense and all I could do to soothe that was consume consume consume and burn up my bank account because it was all good I was on buku bucks!! I was much younger and more stupid back then. I ended up with more medical issues from high stress, putting on weight and hair falling out, skin problems and mental health issues staying for years in those jobs. One day I went on a long holiday (didn’t not have any holidays for 5+ years) and after those 6 weeks away I came back and QUIT!! After that I struggled financially to build a small business and came across many many obstacles but kept going. I failed a lot in my business ventures because I didn’t know what I was doing but I LEARNT each time and now I’ve got a business certification behind me, a business mentor who guides me and I have been able to do things RIGHT this time. I have business insurance, a registered business, my socials lined up nicely about to launch TH-cam all my blogs as well as tutorials and sell digital (prints and patterns and templates I’ve made) as well as physical stock (reselling; vintage, upcycled clothing and furniture etc) and now I’m gearing up for my launch and first sales and about to do my tax and finances with my mentor. I DO NOT REGRET my bumpy road to success I knew from the jump it was going to be hard and I knew it was going to test me with all I had. I refuse to give in to working for others - there is ALWAYS a way to survive and thrive and if you have to go back to survival mode vs comfortability and coming home and only having energy to plop down on your sofa and watch Netflix and cry and go to bed unable to sleep because of all the worries about work and the toxic nature of it all the murderous politics and soul destroying environment…if you keep it moving and keep it pushing and just think out the box and try everything you possibly can to get ahead YOU WILL!

I respect your honesty, you are very level headed.

Better off having a bigger stall n space at antique market once a week or month. Take cash only.

Thanks for your honesty and attention to detail on having a booth at a antique boutique or mall ! I’ve been doing it off and on for a few decades sometimes I make a small profit and sometimes it’s a wash sometimes I have lost money! I also get things extremely reasonable or free ! These items basically pay my overhead aka rent and fees! Long term flipping your booth moving things around constantly bringing in new inventory is key for sales ! I also sell online mostly eBay Facebook market and Craigslist! Posting adds on local online platforms drive people to your booth ! But it all takes time ! I know some of my reseller friends and neighbors in my antique mall differ some do amazing sales and others don’t depending on items that they sell and display! How a booth looks can draw or detract from sales ! It’s all a factor! Definitely not getting rich selling at the antique mall …. I definitely make more of a profit selling directly online or Facebook market place and Craigslist by headaches go alone with that as well ! Shipping or waiting around for a buyer to show up many inquiries taking up my time and patience! But the rush of a sale and making a few bucks on stuff I have stock piled for sale…. Too me it’s worth it! It’s giving me more time at home rather than a regular 9-5 I do agree consistently posting online is more profitable, but I also enjoy the social aspects of going to the antique boutique and meeting other dealers collectors! I started selling on eBay in 1999 when my children were little it’s a great stay at home mom gig ! Pack your booth to the gills! Have lots of smalls to pay the rent and fees and a few larger pieces higher end priced items to pay yourself! Weight the cost of time versus profit one month is just getting started give yourself 6 months to a year before giving up! I just double the size of my booth last week ! Time to price more stuff! Veteran flipper reseller dealer hoarder lol Seller tip flannel and Hawaiian shirts fly out of my booth ! Average price $15-25 each I pay around a buck at thrift store bag days or the goodwill outlet aka “bins” If I sell 10-20 shirts that’s basically pays my rent ! Figure out what sells the best in your area ask other dealers / sellers at your antique mall…. Hey what’s your best seller ask the owner and whoever is working the cash register? What’s hot what’s not? I’m also considering doing a TH-cam channel so whatever you are passionate about do videos on that topic! I got to get back to pricing! Keep selling in some fashion! Consistently is key no matter what we do…. Love it or don’t do it !

She has decided that your husband was The Chosen One it seems

Thanks for sharing!

I always wonder how people make money doing this. It does seem that your fees are high but it may depend on location.

anyone thinking about going into a antique mall should watch your video. You are right on. The owners are making all the money. It's fun at first, but reality sets in. Thanks for the great video.

New sub here.

Hi Hayley. That was a great DIY for a Minecraft theme. Spray paint can be a challenge. I’m wondering if you still have a booth. Would love to hear an update.

Seems like a lot of Gluten allergic kiddos don't care for chocolate?? My daughter hates it too...

we set up at flea markets for 3-4 years back few years ago ....we really enjoyed that but it was ALOT of work ...and sometimes we wldnt make a dime ...LOL just depends on what ur were selling and what the ppl were buyin .or not buyin ..LMAO we wld always bicker n fight ....but we always had fun ....

property owners paid for building ...pay for heat lights ins. they need to be makin money ... most owners also sell there own stuff in the place ... were selling LOTS of records ..lots a stupid lil signs like from hobby lobby ... weird stuff seems to sell the most ...or place all we pay is floor rent .. no %s no CC fee ...thats nice but its gonna change at some point id guess ...we need to workit better also .. were actually gonna be more focused on the booth ...its easy money really .

What we’re the symptoms?

Hi Haley! I was wondering if there was a certain program you purchased to keep up with your inventory and prices?

Your ok but sounds like you need to hone skill first😊

The yellow fish is a can koozie

Tupperware- a pickle keeper

Hi im not being hard or negative to you , but you will need to find a lot more inventory as you american call it and again im sorry but you need to find better stuff to sell you will not last long if you dont change from what i see thats in your both sorry but im just trying to guid you in another direction im from the 🇬🇧 and what i see in your both is items that you whould find in a charity shop here in the uk very low end items which in turn will give you very low profit margins sorry again but i hope that you have suxsess in your venture in the future its hard work i have been antiques seller for over 16 years now so i have been where you are just now but good luck i will follow your progress and check amandas mercantile out she is good at what she dose bye for now ❤

Another possibility since you have a constant supply of items would be as a supplier to resellers. Build relationships with sellers on multiple platforms; poshmark, Mercari, eBay, Whatnot, etc. Build relationships in the Antique Mall and sell to them.

Thank you for telling the truth.

Thank you for the tips.

👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻

What a great video! Thanks for sharing. I've never been to the "bins" and was curious. Your video gave a lot of good information. Keep it up!

Hi Hayley. Thanks for taking us along on your first trip to Goodwill Outlet Bins. I’ve seen others that have more housewares and decor. We do not have these in Michigan. It is a shock on how heavy clothes are!

This is so true with everything. I am a small boutique hair salon and wow what goes out of pocket is crazy. Not to mention the work involved. Lol we have to love what we do to make it worth it. ❤

I wish I lived near by so I could shop there, so many nice things to see.

If you come across brass candlesticks holders set those inside them❤

Since you signed a lease for 6 months just show us this. Monthly 😊

Just an idea for upcoming vlogs. I would really enjoy more tours of Charlotte area antique stores. Things just have not been the same since MetroCarolina Expo closed.

Thank you for sharing the math with us and being so truthful. You're not the first or only person that has stated the store owner is who's making the real cash. Plus that's not considering lost & breakage.

Great footage and editing, this video really tells a story from start to finish!

You nailed it when you mentioned Black Lion. It is just like it. Mostly just interior decorators and very few antiques.

Thank you Hayley for bringing us along

Sharing your experiences, regardless of the path you take, and how things pan out, is so interesting and helpful! Good luck. I look forward to seeing where you take us!

How do you sell items on facebook market place? Can you you do a video on that?

I have a booth at an antique mall and it is a lot slower, but it helps get my things moving. I sell on ebay, and vendor events, and at an antique mall. The vendor events are the best for profit, but the antique booth is nice for consistency. Feb is usually the slowest month. If you are in a vacation town spring and summer really pick up. If you are not, you should still double or triple your sales from sep-dec. But yeah, it's more of a hobby. def not something to make a real income doing.

Your candor, research, pacing, and organization of this video are excellent. Keep up the good work whichever direction your channel goes. Show the viewers whatever you are experienced, knowledgeable, and passionate for, and it will resonate with those who are searching for what you have to say!
