Dust-cheap
Yay! We made profit!
The selling at the flea market at Far East Square yesterday was great fun! We would have won the award for being the most disorganised stall. Still, we managed to sell. Photo frames, soft toys, bags, clothes, books, old music records, paper weights, jewellery sets... going at 30cents to 8 dollars. Selling one thing off is freeing ourselves of the space that has been allocated in our room to collect dust. Felt extremely satisfying.
There wasn't much haggling. Instead, there were occasional gasps upon seeing our stuff going for a quarter of a piece of chesecake. The attitude towards the end was 'die, die must sell!' Still, the poor moshi maru bed lamp was rejected by a customer even as a free gift! See! Singaporeans are not all kiasu people.
Shaun was there with us, with his little ukelele, which was so cute I contemplated selling it off at 20 freaking bucks if he did not display his brute force at Wenn throughout the time he was with us. Thanks, Shaun! But please go learn a full english song lah! We either couldn't hear you properly or you couldn't sing the song we requested!
Friends came! Snow, Anna and Victor, Adeline, Vivien and her friend (was it steven?). Thank you, thank you! I bet our neighbour was thinking 'these girls having their party here eh'. We were noisy, we were laughing, waving at friends and Wenn's family, singing, eating. Oh, and selling.
I sure don't mind doing it again! Darlings, stock up for the next one k! ^^
