dames of chance it s a gamble being a girl dames of chance it s a gamble being a girl skip to content home about about shawnee older posts why selling vintage is like gambling posted on july 3 2024 by shawnee i recently had a conversation with deanna dahlsad of den of antiquity a woman with decades of experience in dealing in antiques and vintage about how her business is just another form of gambling i thought it was interesting and wanted to share it why do you say that being an antiques dealer is like gambling because it is lol instead of putting your chips down on red 32 or putting bills into a slot machine you put your money down on an item and hope for a higher return sometimes you win and sometimes you lose but that s how you learn surely it is more strategic than that yes but it s not quite like poker with rules and a relatively limited number of options it s a bit more random more about betting on your instincts and what you know or at least believe you know about trends and people s interests like when you bet on sports the presidential election or celebrity baby names you believe you know something about the market or your customers that leads you to have confidence in buying an item a collection or an entire estate at a specific price so that you can resell it at a profit what sorts of factors are you looking at when determining whether or not to place that bet it rather depends upon your customers your market your venue for example if you re dealing more with true antiques and collectibles you have to know what you re looking for no knock offs reproductions etc and condition is everything if you re primarily selling to home decorators or vintage fashion lovers condition matters yes but it s more about trends and the look of the items many of these customers are fine with the imperfections of age as it is largely what provides the unique look your knowledge base here in terms of decades designers makers periods of style etc has to mesh with what s on trend now and you also have to know your market if you are selling online you have a wider audience base including reaching places like the coasts where trends are exploding if you are selling in a brick and mortar or at local markets you need to know what trends are and aren t happening where you are for example where i live in fargo moorhead we are not exactly trendy it may take years for some trends to hit here even if we all share the same internet and there are some looks such as farmhouse style which will remain popular in a large part of our area forever also specific markets will attract certain demographics so learning what that crowd wants is an important part of your calculation resellers or flippers may deal in clothing games media etc which is not necessarily vintage but they must know their items and buyers some dealers specialize in finding pieces for artists makers restorers etc there may be lower retail prices but usually those pieces are less expensive investments there are as many types of sellers as there are categories of items to sell often it s the bigger ticket items the biggest scores that take longer to move no matter how hot they are so part of the calculation always includes how long items will sit around you ve told me that storage is just one of the other chips you have to factor in yes as an antiques dealer or vintage seller you invest more than just the chips you put down on the items you invest time and other costs for any given score you have the costs of obtaining the item price paid plus shipping or transportation costs time hunting for and claiming those items time and money spent on cleaning fixing and storing and then there are the costs of selling be it seller fees online rent and or commission in a shop or booth fees at a market items sold online also have transportation and packaging costs items sold offline also accumulate costs such as price tags display item costs and more transportation fees these aren t fees and costs that many buyers consider but they exist and wise sellers quickly learn to account for them as they can really eat up your profits however when all is said and done being an antiques dealer vendor of vintage reseller whatever you want to call this business can be as addictive as gambling the rush of a big purse the goals of becoming a high roller and looking for the next thrill is the same many of us prefer to think of how we are rehoming items saving them from landfills delighting people with our finds but underneath it all we are gamblers

it was rather interesting but when i tried to find the video i had no luck at first i thought it was some sort of station sanitizing removing the gambling footprint but not only has the program discussed oscar office pools but they still have the video from morrow s appearance last year so your guess is as good as mine anyway you can see that at the time of my writing this that michael

you can bet on presidential elections and gamblers betting on the election have a pretty good history of predicting the next us president better than the bulk of polls and surveys in fact experts say part of the accuracy differential lies in the phrasing while polls ask you who you are going to vote for a question that is one part emotional response and another part assumptive that a person is actually going to vote placing a bet is something else entirely despite the popular media depictions of gamblers relying on such tropes as lucky numbers and rabbit s foot gamblers aren t just hot heads willing to put their money where their political party mouths are instead gamblers do the research in the political world that means those betting on elections will study far more than polling data but the debates platforms issues crises scandals world events and more something any serious voter ought to do right if you re going to trust those who are betting dollars on the 2016 us presidential election and i mean the gamblers not those who donate to candidates super pacs etc or the politicos who draw salaries from or otherwise become financially enriched by political campaigns there are some potential insights into current american politics to be found you are currently able to bet on the following political outcomes at bovada who will be the next president of the united states of america which party will win the 2016 presidential election the gender of the winner of the 2016 presidential election the information at this time is fuzzy of course for one it s early and many of the supposed contenders have not even officially announced their intentions some on the list like elizabeth warren have vehemently denied running for the presidential office and george clooney seems to be just another dream entry but the info is also a bit unclear because we aren t getting a polling survey here with easy to read respondent answers as percentages with a survey or poll the percentage is based on the number of participants who responded to all the questions however when we are looking at the bets placed data the pool of gamblers may only bet in one area for example they may only answer the question which political party will win the presidential seat and not bet on participate in any of the other questions the result is some contradictory answers according to those placing bets at bovada hillary clinton is going to be the next united states president but she is not as the gamblers predict a member of the republican party if you are not familiar with that sort of plus or minus odds system shown here it s called moneyline odds or american odds if that sounds confusing simply note that positive or plus odds are better than negative or minus ones using an odds calculator you can see how this works see it may be heartening as a woman to see that gamblers are currently predicting hillary clinton will be our next and first female president and others betting that if not hillary a woman will become president in 2016 but there are others predicting contradictory outcomes who can say what s in the cards yet image credits vintage mechanical die cut valentine
