Sounds great to me.

Glad to see you back Amanda. I value everything you have to teach us. I love antiques and buying. Don't have a booth, but I enjoy the whole process. Buying and styling antique and vintage finds are my favorite things to watch.

You are such a cool chick. Knowledgeable. Confident. Concise. And not concerned about the cutsey stuff. Love your channel.

Also, $800 for a three day event is not bad - that’s only $267/day!

Love your content! Thanks for all the information. You have impeccable style.

So interesting!! Thank you . Wish I can get there some day ! 🌸💕

Loved seeing you. Keep up the blog. I love your booth.

OMG I have been waiting on the edge of my seat! Love your content and love how you plan things out and your honesty.

As an antique lover, I adore your videos and adventures. I never ask for a price reduction, I would never do that at a store so I would never ask an individual or small business owner. I am happy to gain a treasure and pay whatever price they list. And thank you for bringing up your 2 cents on taking pictures, I usually am sharing with my mom or hubby or . . the local following I have to let them know about a business. If I am asked to not, I just leave and delete the pic.

I never ask for price reduction either. I feel uncomfortable…I don’t ask Walmart for a price reduction so why would I a small business owner?

I agree. I never do either. I'd ask for a price reduction at a big box type store long before a small business owner. I understand this isn't a garage sale. It's someone trying to carve out a piece of their dream!

@@hastymartin791 love it!! Glad to see so many others that are likeminded. =)

I have missed watching your videos.

I agree with the spreading out. Let dealers use as much space as possible. It makes it look more retail like and not just boxy. And it’s more creative. Thanks for sharing!!

Ever since I first saw your video of the rug pillows, I've been wanting to make some for myself. Still on the hunt for the right rug. Thank you for the video and all the inspiration.

I would love to see you do projects on your house. I agree with you its so much work doing show so much cost and hanging on to stuff that does not sell gets hard you have to have a lot of storage.

I totally get the information you don't want to share (such as your profits). But the info you DO share is very helpful and appreciated. And it's fun to see your thought process about a lot of things related to your business.

So good to see you!

Wow, Amanda... How could I be so dense?!? I've been watching you for over a year - since you came back and started posting regularly. I KNOW you are a realtor. I KNOW you live in the Staunton area. I KNOW we are selling our house and moving to VA. I KNOW I want to be in the Waynesboro/Staunton/Fishersville area. I KNOW I'll need a realtor. Which brings me back to - I KNOW you are a realtor. HELLOOOOO?!? Why I didn't put all that together until this video? That I DON'T know... but I will be in touch now that I have!! 🥰

Been waiting for you! Appreciate the transparancy. Im so glad Mike doesnt rush you. Im currently dealing with this with my partner. He's not too interested in any of the heavy lifting involved in doing markets. I've decided I'm doing ThiftCon in the Fall and already looking at possibly hiring someone to help me for the day. Congrats on your successes and congrats on being able to do this with Mike!

Thanks for being so transparent about all of these questions! As an antique collector, it’s always fun to learn about the other side of the process. I visited your booth earlier this year and made a video about it that just came out this weekend on my channel too!

Such great info, thanks so much for taking the time to answer questions. I adored the Lucketts video and your set up. Lovely!!

I love all your videos when they’re regular!

Great info. I believe your channel has good growth potential. The main thing is consistency. You have to post a video a week to really stay in the algorithm and get good traction. In your case, I think doing something vlog style, 15-20 minutes of the most interesting things you did that week, blocking out an hour a week to edit it, and dropping once a week at a designated scheduled time will really help build the channel. Then, with any extra time, keep building these longer vids that take more time, research, etc, and drop them as you finish them. I wish you all the best. I'm self employed with multiple income streams, and I can say definitely, you can without a doubt make KZread a significant part of your income pie

I always try to ask when taking pics but you are spot on, I just find Markets to be totally inspirational and the eye candy is everywhere. I always say it is our "Super Bowl" and I love to take it all in and just savor my time there. Also, my opinion on why the Fall Market was so popular, it was a perfect storm of everyone ready to shop and spend and most importantly Santa!!!!

Love this. So informative. & I love how Mike really supports you. 💕

Always look forward to your videos! Such great tips. It drives me crazy how some people automatically assume the worst from someone taking a photo/video. I bet if the local paper wanted to shoot their booth for a story, they would be all in. 🤦‍♀️

Your new house is so cute. Can’t wait to see your landscaping. Seeing what you’re going to do with the interior is exciting and something to look forward to. Just wanted to say watching you and Mike interact is a hoot. You look so good together. Thanks for the video... looking forward to the next one.

So glad you had a successful market! Thanks for sharing with us and answering the questions!

Brilliant video Amanda. Very informative. I did Luckett's when they still held it on the grounds of the shop.

I have missed your videos! I’m glad you are back!!! Please don’t ever stop KZread!! I love watching you!

My mom put our house on the market back in the day (1970's)--no bites for six months. They raised the price and it started a bidding war. Sold!🤣

I really enjoy your posting ! I have been collecting antiques for over 50 years . I collect Early American items . Now that l am 78 and l don’t get out that much to look for antiques ,but l enjoy watching watching what you pick . You have a great eye and you really enjoy what you are doing ! Keep up the wonderful work , so many of us enjoy it !

Love your videos!

This was so informative.

Great video as always 🦋

Great video!

In regards to the question about people taking pictures in your booth, I know a lot of people who take pictures of everything they like on their first round through the store then look over the pictures and come back for the things they really liked on their second round.

Thank you for sharing all this info.

Love the Q&A. Excited about future videos. You do an amazing job!

I am so distracted by that GORGEOUS hutch behind you. I love the color and the plank back. 😍 I am in to the video like 5 minutes and I do not know a thing you’ve said. Lol May just have to pause and admire and then play again.

Dear Amanda.... Good news news for me -- we had coffee together ! Yes , to the home & landscape videos ( if you tire of items in your home -- put them in your booth -- an ' Amanda Loved Piece ' -- top $ ) please know that your fans will take anything you'll give us . Your Luckett's booth was so entertaining to watch & instructional upon analysis -- Mike is a stalwart loving partner ... you two are easy to fall in love with ! Keep the talent coming to us ... we're here to support you !

Love your Channel!!! Great job!!!Great information!!!

@@amandasmercantile I have noticed the shopper looking more but not purchasing like they did a few months ago of course the fall season is almost here so we’ll see how the purchases will be then. Dealing in antiques for about 40 years I have changed some of my choices White black beige Wood-tones and items that can go in several parts of the home. I truly enjoy your channel It’s always good for a old dog to learn new tricks :) I know it is hard for you subscribers, but thank you for not telling how much you make!!!!!!

Please, please come to Jacksonville Fl. I would be sooooooo excited. While here, you need to go to Eco Relics. You’d go crazy in there! It’s a huge warehouse of stuff torn down from huge homes and buildings. Tons of antiques, unique pieces of everything!!!

New subscriber and a long time dealer.booth renter. (20+ years) Love what you do but it is very different from my approach. I rarely have anything in my booth for less than $100.00. I always look at my "time" and what return I will get based on my time invested. Smalls for me to not provide me with the necessary financial return for the time invested. Often smalls take more of my time than large items. My best move was 10 years ago when I made a decision to sell things totally different from what everyone else is selling. My booth has become know for all its unusual, odd and even weird stuff (the stranger the better). Wish you continued success.

So many great insights! You definitely take the time to think through your business and what makes sense for your goals. This info was really helpful for potential vendors for sure!

Just wanted to say I love your videos. I love your straightforwardness but I also love your humor and it shows in your editing of your videos. For example the bloopers you choose to live in….And so sweet of Mike to be so patient , he’s a keeper

Very interesting!!

Thank you sincerely for all the wonderful insight & useful information. Its validating to hear what I'm experiencing in my own sales in the STL is happening too in VA. Thank you for your candor. Love your videos & looking forward to more!

Yeah I want a kitty bowl. Can't wait for your on line store.

I get the analysis paralysis. Looking forward to your home videos, love your hutches they are perfect!

As an ARTIST who creates all that I sell...NO. I don't want anyone to start "clicking away"....BUT, if someone has the manners to ask me...and explain why...I APPRECIATE that.....it's different. I'm always asked to sell my displays as well...I take that as a compliment..📿

Do you have an online store? If so your product images are already available to the entire world so I'm not sure why people taking photos would be an issue.

I really love your videos. We resell in 10 booths in 3 locations and the info you share really is so relative to what we see. Always great to know that what we see is also seen by other vendors. Keep those videos coming. 👍

Titus doesn’t rush me either. It’s nice too. I loved this Q/A, Amanda.✨I love all the ideas and tips you give for posting ones furniture.✨

Your pun, Lucked Out at Lucketts did not go unnoticed by me, Amanda Girl …. 😂😂😘

Great vlog, I found your You Tube Channel yesterday!

Sorry….I have to be a bit of a jackass and say….the small plates on the top shelf in that beautiful cupboard behind you, occasionally look like you are wearing a halo….lol. I love your positive outlook and energy. And yes, let us photograph beautiful spaces for inspiration, eye candy, and happy hearts. 🤍🤍🤍🤍

I would love to see some fall/halloween booth decor inspo!

I have never done a “Antique Show”. I do however have a Booth in a Local Antique Mall. The Biggest Problem with the Booth rental is the VERY Small Size. The Booths are 4 ft wide x 2 ft deep 😱. It makes EVERYTHING SO DIFFICULT. I HAVE SOO MANY IDEAS ON HOW I WANT TO STYLE A BOOTH BUT I HAVE NO SPACE TO DO ANYTHING!!! ITS SOO FRUSTRATING. I WISH I HAD A 10 X 20. THAT WOULD GIVE ME ENOUGH SPACE TO BRING SOME FURNITURE IN & SOME GLASS DISPLAY CABINETS FOR ALL OF MY MURANO, BLANKO, VIKING, WESTMORELAND, ART GLASS. I NEED THOSE HIGH DOLLAR ITEMS TO BE BEHIND GLASS & LOCKED 🔒 EVEN WITH CAMERA’S THINGS SEEM TO JUST WALK AWAY. THANK YOU FOR ALL YOUR ADVICE 😁 ITS. VERY HELPFUL 👍 👍

Your my favourite your tuber and I love your style. Someday when visiting family in VA,I’ll get to Locket’s

Thankyou

I took a a video of a booth today. I took it cause it made me so happy.. if I could afford a vintage ceramic Christmas tree, I would she had 80 dollars on my favorite

I’m happy to have a video please give me more

We love you, Amanda! Say, what did you mean 'people are buying what they can put in their cars'?

❤️❤️❤️

It was so nice seeing your face.

Your videos are currently my favorite thing on KZread right now!!! Would you tell us, reached or not, what is your “that was worth it” gross income number as well as your ideal goal gross income number?

Mt. Dora might be a good Florida option! Check it out. George the Antique Nomad does it annually.

I still can't believe the mid century painting of the boy didn't sell. If i was there, I would've scooped him up!

Are you buying from local auctions or online auctions with shipping? If your buying from auctions that are not available for pickup do you buy from auctions that SHIPP. Who are your favorite online auction Companies? I’m thinking about purchasing some small like jewelry, Art, figurine’s. Thank You 👍

Thank you for the info. Very helpful!!

What do think about putting legs on the gold chairs ? Just was idea !

You should get in touch with George The Antique Nomad.

My Q is can you please come style our house 😛

One thing for me ; taking pictures of furniture is I need to see it in my room where I want to use it. I am a visual person aNd older, my memory is not as sharpe as it was.

IRONSTONE

Are you a vendor at the upcoming Fall Luckett's Show?

Wait- what did I miss? You're moving to Florida??

Where are you...where have you been...missing you

you can't give away mirrors in the store I am in. We don't understand it .

Amanda, where are you? I miss your videos.

Where is lockets 2023 video?

Hey just fyi for a new camera - here s a vlog I ran across where she uses “the best vlog camera” - about the middle of the vid -- kzread.info/dash/bejne/mpWpsdl8qtG8hMY.html

You would do amazing with a garden and KZread. Look up a girl on KZread named Becky. "Acre homestead" she's a go getter just like you, only towards growing and preserving food. She was able to quit her dental hygienic job because her KZread exploded .... she's Also doing home improvement projects because she and her hubby just bought a different house.... just a thought...especially since the Real estate market is going to slow way down.... .❤❤❤❤👍👍👍

Where are you?

There is NO NEED to divulge your profits… It’s none of our business frankly

Did you say your Lucky booth was $800.00 a week????!!!!
