Thanks,

I just took a look at her store but it seems to be closed. I'm assuming that's
because of the holidays. So there is not a lot of information I can see, but
what I do see is that she has about 3 times as many pieces as I have but I have
almost 3 times the sales she got in the last 6 months.

Now I wouldn't base anything on just one store but selling only new doesn't
look promising based on this.

I did think about only selling new for a while because that is all I buy where
as in the beginning I bought more used. But I think there might be a better market
for selling used.

You're misleading yourself somewhat. She's been selling-off for a few
years now, and often closed much like us.

If you wish to contrast n' compare your BL experience with hers, you'll
need to factor the aforementioned.
