Picking Is Just The Beginning - True Dat!

Hope everyone had a great week end. I did myself found some ok, good, and great pieces. Now the real work starts. First off it is fun finding some good items to resell. That's a given. It takes a lot of discipline, and good time management to be successful in the area with a little luck thrown in. Don't get me wrong I have noticed its all peaks and valleys. Some times there is more targets then you know what to do with and other times it seems you cannot find anything that fits a good pickers buying parameters to save your ass. Peaks and valleys.

It all evens out though if you keep your efforts at a high level. So no worry's.

Then comes the part of the pickers world many fail at to be really successful. So you go picking in your favorite category your good at and you find a bunch to cool stuff to resell. Now what? Well you need to take the steps necessary to SELL IT!

That's right selling it is the only way to be successful at really being a good picker. If you are alone and doing this on your own it takes a lot of discipline to finish the cycle. What is the cycle?

FIND IT - RESEARCH VALUE CORRECTLY - DECIDE ON IF TO ENHANCE IT (REPAIR OR RESTORE TO SOME DEGREE) - PRESENT IT TO YOUR SELLING CHANNELS PROPERLY

I am lucky my partner in life matches up with me in wanting to be successful in picking. We both love mid century and she is great at refinishing and research. Me, I am the finder, logistics, and good at picking up big things. If you are alone you have to be everything and do it in a timely manner. It does you no dam good to find good stuff and have it piling up in a room. You have to finish the cycle or you are now on a hoarder reality show and all of us feel sad you can't get in your bathroom no more.

Finish the cycle!
