Thorvald Marthinsen Scandinavian Sterling from Norway |
Record listing to selling time: 3 minutes
I
listed these spoons at a reasonable price, because I wanted to sell them
quickly. I just didn't know how quickly. I'm so proud of myself for
taking the time to find all the marks.
NM: Norsk Monster

830S: Scandinavian Sterling Silver
Chalice/Goblet: Thorvald Marthinsen Solvvarefabrikk (1900-1925)
I think I've made some big gains over the past month or so. I've been selling fewer low-priced items, and that was difficult to do at first. First of all, I have had to work really hard to learn what to look for. Then I had to take lots and lots of risks, and allow items to sit in my shop for months. I had to be confident that I had listed the item at a fair price for its value. I definitely had a few bad days over the weekend. I lost my confidence big time, and I was starting to doubt myself. Self-doubt is normal, and sometimes I need to take those moments of self-doubt to remind myself that all is not lost.
Patience, friends.
