As most of you know, I was forced to end ended my retail business of 6 years last year in May. But I’ve got sooooo much stocks to clear, you can only use your wildest imagination OR you can get a glimpse of the amount of stocks I have in the 3rd picture of this post.

I’ve been going to low or no rental bazaars to clear my handmade accessories at S$1.00 each since last year every now and then. OF COURSE, AT $1, EVERYTHING IS PRACTICALLY BELOW COST!

But the 3-day bazaar which just ended yesterday would be MY LAST. Going for a bazaar now can easily upset my little Binbin and Allan’s appointments with his clients. Moreover after we have sold the van, it was extremely mind-cracking to squeeze all that into the tiny car.

I still have lots of beads, lots of parts and pieces, lots of handpainted clothings, lots of mobile phone accessories, mannequin, clothes hangers, jewellery-display gadgets, to sell away….so I’ve decided to give eBay a try and I got to know a forum (got this from one of the retailer during this bazaar) where people look for 2nd hand items for their pushcarts business (which I definitely have lots to sell to them).

Of course, I’ll continue giving consignment as I have been doing since last year, but that’s just too slow. When you give consignment to a retailer, they (naturally) will concentrate on their own products more than yours, completely understandable.

So I’ll be beading away as and when I feel like it and no longer need to rush out hundreds of earrings (before the every bazaar) just to meet the ‘expected sale quantity’ for each bazaar.

And my Keatkeat need not help me do this anymore, go see how great a helper my boy was (last year), this is a MUST SEE POST!

And no more of these moments…..

So goodbye to long hours of standing…

goodbye to late nights setup….

goodbye to not-able-to-take-my-meal-in-peace….

goodbye to sweaty and dirty hands after every setup and tear-down…

goodbye to the fear of not earning enough cover the rental and the cost price of each item and not even considering my salary…..

goodbye to all of that….

And many didn’t believe that it was Allan who decided to start this retail business and who was also MY TEACHER before I start to create my very first handmade jewellery.

So wish me lots of luck in clearing my stuff at the forum and at eBay too, won’t you?
