Oh shypansy those were the days. Paying $30 for something at an auction and watching it sell for over $300. Crazy days! Many Sunday nights (which were the nights my auctions finished) I took over $10,000. I'd be up at 5.30am packing, packing, trying to get everything done before my baby woke up, and then up till 11 every night still working like mad.

LOL, common sense prevails now .. I don't work quite so hard, but the money is just enough. I guess I could charge less and do higher volume but I don't want to work such long hours now.

The best sale I ever had was $11,000 for a bedroom suite which I paid $2500 for. Just the dressing table went for over $7000. My husband couldn't believe it.
