YOUR THOUGHTS PLEASE
 Hi guys, let me start by saying this is not another negative thread, I love quicksales and all my great buyers, but due to one thing and another over the last few months,I can not afford to hold onto and store loads of stock, As a lot is antiques, vintage and collectable dolls,porcelain, antiques,vintage clothes, retro. 
 I am being forced a serious rethink, sorry guys if I'm a bit rabbling, I've worked 12  hour days plus travel for the last week or more.
 I guess what  I asking should I email any watchers on items i will remove, or maybe SPOTD, Thing is I have 2 ids that will be affected. Please be kind I am so tired and sore.AS I had to get rid of my huge storage unit.
 Cheers Robyn

Hi Robyn,

how are you going you poor thing? I think you should email your watchers and ask if they are still interested before you decide to remove them. Maybe give them a little discount and let them know..

Just a suggestion.

Hope all is well?

Hi Robyn,
Would you be able to mark yourself as 'away' for even a few days, perhaps til just after Xmas when buyers who might have received cash for gifts, will come looking for that special something?
You sound exhausted and that is not always the best time to make decisions.
Give yourself a break, rest up, do some more thinking and hopefully all will come good.
I know this doesn't fix your storage problems but neither will making yourself ill with worry.
All the best.

Why not take a break from qs Robyn ? I find I thoroughly enjoy my few weeks away from here a couple of times a year when I set myself to away .

Then when your ready just come off the away status and maybe in the meantime cull your items and remove what needs to be removed so you can work on qs without having to worry about sales/packing/posting for a while.

I'll probably do the same soon , I want to make a few changes in the house and something's got to give so there's a heap going to Vinnie's in January.

Hi there,  I would'nt worry about watchers.  They've had their opportunity to buy.  From time to time I just pull my listings for various reasons.  You sound like you need a break.  Why not just take that break, and recharge your batteries.  Maybe see you back here after Xmas.

 Hi, guys thanks for your thoughts and support.I  have the "luxury" of being home today and have found most of the items that I need to remove are on my other id.I can't really afford to take a full on break, as sales at this time of year can be good for me.
 Thanks once again, Robyn
