I wrecked my mind re how many items I sold since the beginning of November (the place still looks as full as always...):
5 pairs of boots
7 winter coats
2 leather jackets
4 handbags (only the Goldpfeil was a "good" bag, the other 3 were very random)
plus some other bits and bops
Seeing the numbers I should be rich now, but unfortunately the market is low and people aren´t willing to pay much and I was keen on getting the items out of the house. I broke even on all sales, though (only because I always shop cheap.)

Today I had a very lovely parcel!
I had bought a vintage German Hucke black wool winter coat from the classifieds at the glorious price of 5 Euro. It arrived in a lovely old fashioned flat box like the ones my Grandma used to get her mail order purchases in. Inside there was crisp green tissue paper, a Christmas card with a greeting and on top of my coat a second one as a gift.
It left me speechless. So nice!
The black coat is timeless perfection and fits like tailor made.
The gifted coat is an 80ies trenchcoat style with huge shoulder pads, made by Hensel and Mortensen- another German high quality brand that does not exist anymore. To my big amazement it looks lovely on me and it does fit nicely!
I feel blessed and very thankful!

Wow that's amazing! Congratulations on getting two lovely coats for a bargain.
I read on another thread that dehydration can give you a fever. I never knew that. I'm glad it was just that! Take care of yourself!I had my first COVID scare everybody. Thankfully it was just dehydration but it's terrifying knowing that such a fatal disease is floating around
Help please! I´d appreciate opinions on this bag, please.
It´s the 2006 St Germain by Dior.
I love the look, but it might be quite big. As far as I remember it is about 38cms wide and 27 cms high.

Thank-you! I really love a bargain, but the biggest gift for me was the love and care this lady put into wrapping this bargain and sending it to me. I haven´t had parcels as nice as this very often- far more often people tend to pack care- and lovelessly even if the purchase was expensive.
I always wrap my sales in pretty tissue or actual gift wrap and add a nice card or note. Rarely do I get something like that myself, but when I do I am throughly delighted.
Same here. I try to wrap nicely- mostly with used boxes and paper, but neatly, so it will be nice to unwrap.
The boxes I use are used or the free ones from the post office. I use white tissue paper as I'm too afraid to use colored tissue in case it transfers onto the bag. I used to write cards but now I just write a thank you note on the packing slip.
Yes and I agree with the potential boxiness of the larger Roulis.
Thank you momasaurus.
Thank you Cookie
I do too - it only takes a minute, it shows you care and your appreciation. . Such a small and easy thing to do - yet so few do it.
Just tossing something (a silk blouse, a silk scarf) in a box (not even in a ziplock bag!) is just another level of “I don’t care, just give me the money.“ Makes me sad.
I think it is nice that all of us here try to make it a pleasant experience. I recently bought that black Portland leather goods bag that I use for bad weather in a group and it came with a lovely card and wrapped in tissue and it gave me such pleasure. If I wrap something in tissue I also put it in a clear plastic so if it get wet while traveling it does not get damaged.
The nicest thing happened was some one with no feedback bought a small bag . He was so delighted with the gift wrap and his wife loved the bag. It was the longest review and it was so lovely. I felt very appreciated that someone noticed the effort I put in. I don't sell a lot of stuff so it is more like playing store, but comments like that make it worth while.
