I love your booth, it's so cute with all the things I want in my house :) Thank you for sharing the information!

[@styledbycarli]

Thank you so much! 🥰

[@emeraldgardenvintage1479]

I loved this video! It is so helpful to see the breakdown of your numbers and get an idea of what sells well in your booth. Out of all the vintage home decor I’ve ever picked up, I have not yet grabbed any candle sticks so now I’m going to be on the lookout for some. What is the brand you said you price up a little? So exciting that some of the strawberry pieces sold, I’m not surprised they flew off the shelf!

[@styledbycarli]

Yes def recommend the candle stick holders!! Brass ones sell the quickest for me, I always keep an eye out for Baldwin! ♥️

[@nicoleneesby]

Loveeeee these updates 🥹❤️‍🔥🙌🏼 so fun to see your growth

[@styledbycarli]

Thank you so so much!! 🥹♥️♥️

[@juliegreen6074]

And that in February! Summer months are dead here in Florida. Thanks for keeping it real

[@zonyasvintage7859]

Great explanations and talk about your booth sales. It was so helpful

[@donnatollis821]

Just found your video. Suscribed because you are easy to listen to and speak with honesty. Having a picture of the item is soooo helpful especially to newcomers to having a booth. Getting thru my first month however everything I am putting in it are what I collected over the years so have to rely on videos like yours to see what is selling and ballpark figures. Thank you. Will be watching more.

[@styledbycarli]

Thank you so much! Wishing you the best of luck with your booth! ☺️

[@Selfcareandrepeat]

This video was very helpful. Btw I love your antique booth❤️

[@styledbycarli]

Thank you so much!

[@Lifewithlisalove]

I’m not sure if I’m keeping mine. It’s a 6x6 booth and $158 a month plus commission and Cc fees on top of that which I think should be included. We get a ton of foot traffic and are in an area known as the capital of antique stores however for example, I sold $198 last month and made $6 after all the fees. If you include my time to take the stuff there and to refurbish items I buy from thrift stores etc I’m not sure if it’s worth it anymore. I would have to sell $600 a month to cover the items I purchase. Time in. Rent. Commission etc and if I sold that much I would only profit a little less than $200 a month. I am a bit disappointed that it’s this way.

[@juliej5917]

Never apologize for Archie playing!! 😽🐾

[@micheledickey4066]

I feel so bad that you haven’t been making your rent! You have an exceptional eye for vintage, especially how young you are. I don’t see an eBay link so that might help you get more sales over there. The best of luck to you.

[@styledbycarli]

I sell clothes and shoes on Poshmark & eBay full time! ♥️ the booth is my extra little passion project on the side 🥰

[@BassandCoffee]

Trying to get my wife to get into renting an antique booth since she hates listing on ebay lol. Great video! Keep em coming!

[@styledbycarli]

Haha I feel that! Thank you! 😊

[@Cjregan__]

How did you find the antique market you sell at and know it was the right fit for you? And yesss tips to get started! I’ve been thinking of doing this for so long! Just wasn’t sure how to even begin! ❤ love this video!

[@styledbycarli]

Thank you so much!! I visited a ton of antique malls before I settled on this one, that’s definitely my number 1 tip. I liked a lot of the other vendor’s booths here and loved that they had a more high tech consignment system. Lots I visited just wrote things down and did math manually so I liked that this one had a barcode system! They also have a lot of events sales and are super active on social media. I actually found them because they started interacting with my Instagram account. So definitely visit a bunch of them and you’ll find one that fits 🥰 When I saw that this one had open space while I was there I spoke to the manager and they had me sign the lease same day. I hope this helps! 💕

[@nGH20]

Really enjoyed this video 😊

[@styledbycarli]

Thank you so much! 🥰

[@bizzNES17]

I find it interesting that they charge you rent AND commission…that store must get some pretty heavy foot traffic to justify that? Most antique malls where I’m at do either rent OR a commission

[@styledbycarli]

All of the ones I visited around here do the rent and commission, must be just based on what part of the country you live in. I don’t mind because they are really active on social media and have lots of events to push sales including a monthly sip and shop, where they provide free drinks to customers while they shop

[@LilyPondTreasures]

I have a booth across the street at America's Antique Mall and Indian River Antique Mall. And I have a youtube channel as well. You are doing great

[@RevivalHomeDecor]

How much does the most profitable booths make typically?

[@joncan2348]

You can make way more margin with rare and high end antique paintings, jewelry and Chinese porcelain.

[@styledbycarli]

I’m not passionate about those items, I sell within my own niche :)

[@annrichardson6957]

Did I miss something? Don’t you have to subtract what you paid for the items to include in your profit to see what you really made?

[@styledbycarli]

I don’t share my cost of goods per item in these videos. Just sharing what’s selling and what it’s selling for. I talk about what I’m paying in my haul videos. I use the cash method of accounting for my business, so I don’t track line by line. I look at numbers in totals each month, expenses & income wise. I’m not a tax professional so please speak to one if you have any questions about cash vs accrual accounting.

[@frankhetzel5363]

How much are you asking on fiesta ware looking for all colors all pieces?

[@styledbycarli]

It depends on the age/color but base price is $5 ea for small plates, $8 for dinner plates and mugs are $8. If it’s an older color they’re a little more expensive.

[@deekrimmel7522]

What is your markup %. You took out your rent and commission, but what did the products cost you?

[@styledbycarli]

Like I mentioned in the video, I do my taxes on a cash basis so the item is already written off. I don’t track individual COG

[@styledbycarli]

I also don’t do a % markup based on what I pay for the item, I price based on comps/eBay solds

[@andreaslam9655]

How did you get started?

[@styledbycarli]

I loved shopping at antique malls and thrifting & then stumbled across crazy lamp lady’s KZbin videos and they inspired me to start selling vintage home stuff. Was always a dream of mine to have a booth of my own so when I saw this antique mall had open space I signed a lease ☺️

[@happygirlthrift]

This was so helpful! You have a great eye! Love your positive attitude.😊

[@JoseRodriguez-jw6qy]

Returns?

[@styledbycarli]

They don’t allow returns at the antique mall I sell at
