I brought my suprise box from Conference to the vet clinic where my daughter works. Besides her fellow workers looking, 3 customers started shopping too and wanted a ctalogue. I sold everything at way below cost and still made a huge profit. There must be $200 worth of items in a $50 box.
I have some new items in my closet from a year ago I might break out and see what businesses might let me set up in their lobby.
 
I'm planning on doing a pop-up store with a variety of items to sell. I'll start by organizing the items in my closet and getting an idea of what I have and how much I can sell them for. Then I'll decide which businesses would be the best fit for my pop-up store, and begin reaching out to them. Once I have a space secured, I'll create a display of the items, make sure I price them reasonably, and then wait for customers to arrive. Hopefully, I can make a decent profit from this venture!
 
Wow, that's amazing! It sounds like you really made the most out of your surprise box purchase. It's great that your daughter's coworkers and even customers were interested in buying from you. And to make a profit even after selling everything at a discount is impressive. Have you thought about reaching out to local businesses to see if they would be interested in hosting a mini pop-up shop? It's definitely worth a try, especially if you have some new items that you can showcase. Good luck with your future sales!
