Vintage Dealer Interview No. 5 = The Dove Cote Brocante
August 3, 2014Hope everyone is having a great weekend. We had really nice weather here. Just a few rain showers. I didn’t get out to do any picking, but hopefully everyone else did. We have been doing “Saturday Junkin” posts over on our Facebook page for those of you that are just stopping by for the first time. Dealers are free to post pics of their weekend treasures. Also, we are trying to get more involved with Instagram. You can find us here.
Today, we are interviewing Aspen Robinson from The Dove Cote Brocante. This Mother/Daughter duo have been in the industry for 25 years. All of their contact info is available at the bottom of this post. We are so happy to have them for our interview today. So let’s get started.
1. How long have you been a vintage dealer? We are a mother-daughter team and have been doing this for 25 years.
11. What do you think the number one mistake is that unsuccessful dealers make? Just because you can buy it cheap doesn’t mean it will sell! Vintage items should be TRUE vintage items not yard sale material.
16. How do you break down and come up with your prices? We don’t buy an item unless we can at least double our money or sometimes if we get a steal sometimes it can be more than double depending on the value.
