Best “first show” advice for a newb?
Hi, I’m Mel! Thanks for letting me hang around. :) I’ve been selling vintage and antique clothing for 20+ years- 4 years on WN, mostly in Y2K- but just now dipping my toe into jewelry. I scheduled some shows, but I’m feeling a bit nervous - like I’ve been cramming for a giant test for the past month. (It’s weird having to basically start over with something that involves a lot of technical expertise, which I obviously don’t have.) I bought some start-up tools- presidium pen, acid kit, etc.- but things might be a bit messy for a while as I find my footing. Any amazing advice for someone doing their first show in the category under these circumstances? I’d love to not faceplant (although if I do it wouldn’t be the first time). 😂🙏

@Melanie Gillis Preloading has helped me make more sales. Also, it gives people an opportunity to browse if they are bored. I do not like the sellers face on camera with jewelry. My personal preference. I prefer to see close ups of the jewelry. I also really need to know the size/length of jewelry because I prefer smaller lengths/sizes. I hope this helps.

Duped?
Hi - I got a Christian Dior for what I thought was a good deal for resell. I listed it on eBay (dumb idea) and it was flagged. Now I am afraid I was duped. Any idea if this is legit ? Thanks friends !!!

I had my Christian Dior authenticated through authentic detective. Paid $25 for COA and also paid extra for market value
Algorithm
I keep hearing about the algorithm and how it helps you get buyers into your room. Can anyone tell me how this works?

Vintage markets and shows
I keep hearing about these different fabulous vintage markets people go to to source..... how do you find them? Are they listed somewhere online or in a publication somewhere? I would love to attend something like this, but I don't know how to find them unless I get lucky and see a post on FB or IG. Thanks everyone!

I googled flea markets near me. I have what I call the "cheap flea" every sunday and then there are a few others that are once a month. Where are you located? Perhaps someone near your area can chime in. I am in the Chicago suburbs. I also go once a month to the flea market near my sister in Columbus, and we are making a weekend to go to Michigan and also a huge trip to Brimfield in September.
