Hi everyone. Sorry about missing our Tuesday Tips post today. So, here’s the thing – I still want to continue the “How To Start A Reselling Business” series, but we’re going to have to take a little hiatus from it. I hope you’ll all stick around on the blog until we can start it up again. But for the near term – we’ve realized that it’s just too much work / time committment with too little return on that investment.

I was hoping to get around 300-500 readers on the series, but it’s more like about 50-60 as far as I can tell. I just can’t justify spending that much time on it. So we’ll keep going, but the series will be released gradually, probably over the next 6 months. For those who need the information sooner, sorry about this!

On a brighter note – we’ve been picking up some really nice things at the thrift lately. The latest from this weekend was this short Dansk teak ice bucket designed by Jens Quistgaard. We’ve gotten very lucky with Quistgaard teak items in the past, but it’s always a happy day when we come across more of them. Look for this one to make an appearance in our Etsy store in a few days.

    Oh dear, I’ll have to muddle through on my own!

    I actually find just looking at what you have in your shops and on Flickr is very helpful for me as it does provide so much information. Often, when I’m researching something I’ve seen on your sites and others, I find out all sorts of information about other things which I then find for myself. So whatever you choose to do will still be an education for me, and I would guess, many others.

    We all understand and do appreciate what you share.

    That’s ok. I totally understand about the time investment. There never is enough time to go around…

    Thanks though, I enjoy your blog.

    Its understandable. I appreciate all of the ones that you’ve done so far and look forward to the ones to come! I check in regardless of TT’s. :)

    Thanks everyone for the kind words – I think actually we’ll get the next TT post up in this series in a couple weeks. Sort of caught up in the ATG Listing Challenge for February as well, which has been eating up almost all of my free time! I sincerely hope this ReSelling series has helped out so far, and hopefully we’ll have a lot more to come in the future.

    @jane – Thanks, I’ve learned a lot from people on Flickr as well. I probably learned the most from those folks, it’s amazing the amount of knowledge out there. Much better than reading books!

    Love that ice bucket. It’s very squat compared to the usual ones, isn’t it?

    As for the series, I certainly understand. Things just eat up time, and there’s never enough of it.
