I do not check anyone's reviews before buying on WN. I figure WN has my back if they try to shaft me. As for ebay? Yeah, I'll glance at them if they have under 1000 feedbacks, at least see the % of positive.

I love chaos. Whatever my vibe is that day. Buck, five bucks, whatever. Part of what drives repeat traffic for me, is customers counting on low starts, even on Juliana or Kramer or Weiss or whatever it is. When I do preloads, which is not often, I typically just do 10 bucks. Dollar start is kind of an unnecessary gyration. If I'm doing my own show (non consignment) and I have something that know is big money (Like, over $500), I tend to pick a fair market price and then work my way down. Run it at 450, then 400, then 375, then 350. I call it a reverse auction and it's fun to watch the room sweat it out a bit. Even if it gets down to 250, by then there are probably 2-3 willing people who will bid it back to 400 or whatever 'the whatnot' price should be.

Skool is like if a Facebook group, a classroom course, and a group chat had a baby… and that baby actually made you money by improving your jewelry resale hustle instead of wasting your time doom scrolling... No weird shadowbans on your posts, no random AI videos, just people who want to learn, share, and level up their jewelry-flipping game. Don't you want to know why that brooch you bought might pay your rent? Be a better buyer, seller and streamer! Skool is where the “wait… is this Bakelite?” questions get answered, real networking happens, and the people actually trying to win hang out. Basically: less scrolling, more collaboration and zero drama.

@Theresa Maggiore might open a few more slots, standby

Not ideal pics for marketing content, but you'll get better at it! I would urge you to do your first live show, could make it a private show and send me/Melanie/Chris Hammond the link and then we can assist with basics/raiding
