There are 3....afflictions that make Amanda put even the most lovely of vintage items back on the shelf. They are:

1. Shattered Silk
2. Devil's Dust
3. Perished Elastic

This week Amanda goes into detail on how to detect and avoid clothing that has deteriorated beyond repair. Plus we'll go over some thoughts on how to deal with (and maybe even make use of) these devilish garments if they have made it into your home.

Some may call it intuition, visualization, manifestation or even witchcraft but the truth is there is scientific evidence you "see" in the world what you are already focused on. What does that mean for vintage resellers? It means deciding in your own mind how you will fair when sourcing vintage might just manifst into what you find. Nothing? Abundance? It may be up to you.

Amanda goes into this "heady" subject with some stories and personal experiences.

When it comes accepting payments for on-line purchases we have a bunch of choices out there with some pluses and minuses. The main plus for a seller would be not having to pay any fees, right? But does asking buyers to send payment via Venmo (personal) or Cash App leave them vulnerable to losing their money? The short answer is uh, YEAH!

In this episode, Amanda gets into why it's essential for professional sellers (or anyone else selling something on-line) to use Paypal or Venmo Business and for buyers to take a hard pass on buying any other way.

Vintage sellers all come with their own knowledge base. From the experts to the novices, we can't know everything and we all make mistakes sometimes. So what do we do when it happens? On the buying end or selling, the way we handle our reactions and responses when we are questioned or corrected can make or break our reputation and business. Amanda gets into it all this week.
