We keep a spreadsheet posted on the members only members site that tracks our progress and lists all the details of our transactions, such as where we bought, sold, fees involved, shipping, and net profit.<BR/><BR/>--DaryleAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1625331701930991995.post-78821302603878201262008-01-27T13:32:00.000-06:002008-01-27T13:32:00.000-06:00HI lOETZDANCEYou must be a new viewer to the blog....HI lOETZDANCE<BR/><BR/>You must be a new viewer to the blog. I not only have addressed these issues and many more in previous blogs but they are all addressed in my book 31 Steps to Your Millions in Antiques and Collectibles. In the $1,000,000 race each member has the chance to share all their trades whether good or bad with the other members.<BR/><BR/>I have addressed where to sell, how to establish value,taking time to buy the right things because we aren't in a hurry and yes to be realistic in your accounting to be sure that we are on the right track in your journey. The bloopers that you talk about can be reduced by education and the advice you receive from people in the business. It sounds like you might have had some bad experiences and we, the members of th 31 Club, hope that we can help you in the future to brighten your search for treasures. When Marsha sells the item that where purchase it will be reportede and I wouldn't be surprised if they brought even more than estimated.<BR/><BR/>DaryleAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1625331701930991995.post-45626968793353583442008-01-27T12:03:00.000-06:002008-01-27T12:03:00.000-06:00Okay, you and Marsha M have searched the possible ...Okay, you and Marsha M have searched the possible values for the Graham & Moran art work and see that there is a potential of making $4,000 on a $220 investment. Purchase + Research are just the first steps to realizing great fortunes! <BR/><BR/>Several steps must now be taken to realize a profit. 1)Where is the best place to dump these items?; 2) How did I come to that conclusion?;3)Was my decision correct or am I going to have to relist these with the Auction House or on EBAY 6x to realize a profit?4)Did I also spend another $220 at those antique stores buying junk that has no value but did look pretty when I saw them?;5)Or have I done this for enough years that I now know who to call to realize a profit? <BR/><BR/>How about taking Marsha's purchase through the actual steps to get to profit,; i.e. costs (EBAY or Auction fees + bad purchases) + time = Return on Investment? To me this business is kind of like Kissing Frogs - in addition to the big wins out there, there are a lot of bloopers that I think we all need to experience to pay for our education.Loetzdancehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14099271911873317915noreply@blogger.com
