A number of things are gone from my booth [View all]

Not paid for, or credited to my account. There are 3 possibilities: I got ripped off. The new online consignment app is not accurate. People picked the items up and left them in another booth. I imagine I got ripped off. Seeing that other items have been marked sold on the new app, that is an outside chance. Possibly the items are in another booth, and haven't been turned in to lost and found. Six of the 7 missing items are from the same era, late 40s-50s.

I put 2 packs of vintage Barclay cars in. I put 2 cars into plastic bags for 1 price. I added 3 vintage sorority purse accessories (2 compacts and a cigarette case) to the booth, priced separately. All those things are gone. All those things are on the new consignment app. I've already sold other things I entered on the new consignment app at the same time as the missing things. There are 2 other things I am checking on. They were listed on the old consignment app. All of these things went missing in the last month. I take pictures of everything I add to the booth the day I add it. When I get home, I mark them on my master db so I know they are in the booth and not packed. If I take anything out, or if it is sold, I update the db to reflect that they are not on display. Sometimes, if I am in a hurry, I don't get the db completely updated. I'm checking the 2 items, in case I took them out, but didn't update my db.

Anyway, losing things has taken the fun out. I've had the booth since August 2022 and up until now, only one thing had gone without getting paid for. Now up to 7 things all at once. I went in earlier this week and took all of the small things out and checked them as inactive on my master sheet. I had a small clear display case with a latch, so I cleaned it up, got a padlock for it, and added it to my booth. I really want to be snarly and put the last pack of Barclay cars in that locked case, only that. I might still do that, but right now, I feel like packing it all up and retiring from that.

I know that shoplifting is a fact of life. I guess I'm taking this hard because I liked those things, and was pleased to offer them for sale.
