Maybe it was the weather, a nice sunny day!! Maybe it was the end of the Easter Holidays and folks are still away!! Maybe it was too many toyfairs too close together, both date wise and geographically!! But today, the 19th, was very poor. To put it another way, we took very little money and actually made a loss on the day. Not what we were hoping for.
It sounded like a common theme from other sellers today. Not only for today but in recent weeks as well. We are all hoping that things pick up soon, but are not expecting it. It's getting harder by the toyfair.
To top it all by the time we got back home, at a very early time, since most folks had packed up and gone way before official closing, we had sold one Postman Pat figure on Amazon for a mind blowing £3.50 less Amazon's fees. This time next year Rodders we'll be........ How does that finish???
Due to the early finish we did manage to grab some time in the sun in the back garden, but alas no G & T, just coffee and biscuits, and strange goings on by the cat and a shrub.
Still onwards and upwards, let's be positive. You need to check out the website, www.timewasshop.co.uk if case you'd forgotten, it's going through a gentle makeover. Not a Susannah and Trinny one, much more subtle than that. It's all to do with appearance, as that pair would say.
Look out next month for new products coming to Time Was... in the shop, online and at toyfairs.
See you in Spalding next week.
