Thank you! I think 2025 is shaping up to be a year of refining the processes in each area! Hoping I can put a trip up to Virginia on the calendar too!

When I actually calculate in rent and sourcing expenses a good estimate for what I actually profited is a little over $1000. I'll have to actually sit down a do the numbers, but I like doing the booth for a little extra money and because I simply enjoy the creative outlet. I think a lot of booth vendors are that way!

Lots more! I need so much stuff right now.😱

Thanks for watching! I think this year's resets will be really awesome.

Thank you for the encouragement! You're right, the more I have the more I sell, and I'm always on the hunt for new inventory! Hopefully more frequency and better luck for 2025!

@ come to NC 🙌🏻🙌🏻

Sure thing! I'm doing a refillery tour and can talk more about the concept!

I'm so excited about the refillery too! It's been a fun adventure!

I'm so glad you found us!

It would be nice to try and shop some doom piles! Sourcing here recently has been difficult and it doesn't help that I'm trying to be picky with what I grab. 2025 will be a lot about going more frequently and really trying to hit estate sale. Can be hard when I work most weekend.

Yes! Early is better. I think a lot of people would be able to sell Christmas in October. I try to hold on to fall for as long as possible since it's my favorite season. 😅

Love that! I had one or two purses this year and just asked to bring in vintage jewelry! Super excited to see how it does and glad you suggested it! Makes me feel like it's a good direction to go.

@@gildedgoodsvintage. Glad to hear that! I really appreciate you sharing your sale information. I love seeing how trends are similar or different, it’s so interesting. I’m so happy you are doing well,, you have great taste and ideas for business. Keep it up! 😊

You’re too kind! Thanks for watching.

I'm glad the video helped! It's easy for people to justify items under $10, which is why the low cost smalls are so handy. I also noticed that $12 to $16 price points did really well this year for me. That's a great idea! I feel my tags can get in the way as well, but I try to stick to something that fits the aesthetic of the booth. I'll look around at some other creative options from vendors and see if I can put something together!

So glad it was useful!

Sometimes we just want to have fun with it, so it makes booking a bit tedious. Though I love having the data to refer back to and to learn from. Maybe you can find some insights for you space!

Rent is monthly based on square footage. These numbers were just sales minus commission, which for us is 10% of our gross sales. For a better idea of what I made each month in the vintage booth I still need to subtract my $250 rent and expenses. For this year, some months were negative after rent and expenses, but overall came out with a profit.

​@@gildedgoodsvintageYour rent space is an awesome price. I have a booth half your size and that what I pay !

I have some videos coming up that might really help you! One specificly on booth locations and considerations when looking at different rental spaces. Having inventory is a great place to start! And honestly what I really need to be focusing on soon.

Thank you so much! Sharing that information helps me stay accountable for my goals and I hope it helps others too! Plus I can go back and look how far I've come at the end of next year!

Thanks so much! I'm excited to see what we can accomplish this next year!

This didn't reflect any of my expenses this year. I honestly haven't been great at tracking my thrifting expenses. 😅 I'm planning to track it much better this next year. But when I do calculate things, I choose to only calculate based off the expenses of the items that actually sold. The rest I keep in an active inventory log and then have potential sales estimates to go with them. Sometimes it can take awhile for things to actually sell, which makes it even more difficult. I've had things sit for 2 years before finally finding a home. I might try and do a video on inventory management to go over this a bit more in depth for the January video challenge.

I would love a video with information about organizing and keeping track of expenses as far as your antique booth. I’m not very good with that type of stuff. Thanks for all the info!

I'm about the same as you with the expense records. Must. Do. Better. 😊

I agree with you totally! The owner of the store where I have a booth encouraged me to put out my Christmas stuff in the second week of November. I followed her advice and did a phenomenal amount of sales. I had to restock twice! 😂

It can be a balancing act, but earlier is better for sure! Look at the big box stores, there is a reason they get their inventory out so soon and follow a pattern for when they discount seasonal products. We can learn from that, but maybe not have the need to replicate it to the extreme they do. I think you are on the right track with fall and Christmas. I personally love putting spring out at the end of February, Summer out in May, Fall in August and then Christmas in November before switching to a more neutral winter/base booth theme.

Thanks for the encouragement, Jo! I'm excited for it!

Happy New Year to you too! 🎉

Merry Christmas to you too!🎄

Thank you! I'm excited for all the fun things I have planned to share with y'all in 2025!

Thank you! It means a lot to have all the support. ❤

I'm excited to share it with you! There are so many fun things coming soon.

That's a blessing that I will take! We're going to work for it.

🎉🎉 It's been a good year!

Thank you so much! Feeling motivated for the next year!

I'm so happy to have you here!

Welcome to our fun little vintage corner of the internet. Thank you for the support and encouragement. I'm happy that you're here!

I'm doing a little happy dance for sure!

It really does feel good to have a supportive community! So much fun to see other creators be excited for each other’s successes! And I love see how different each person is when it comes to what they find, how they style it, and how their personalities shine through. Thanks for being part of it! I appreciate all the encouragement and it definitely gives me lots of motivation for 2025!

Absolutely! I'll be sharing a full refillery tour soon and talking about the process and products.

Merry Christmas to you as well! Maple and Ash have been soaking in as many cuddles as possible. I'm excited for the new year and challenging myself with some lofty goals. Thanks for coming along on the journey with me!
