So today was 1st day of sourcing after the de minimis elimination for China. My stores are on vacay mode for the short term, but went to garage sales as I'm an everything seller and they are a primary sourcing opportunity, as well as estate sales, flea markets, thrift stores.Had to keep in mind to check everything my wife and I picked up for CoO. 1st item passed up - Globetrotters board game, vintage from the 1980s. Sold it many times for good money - it was 5 bucks. But saw on the side panel: ' dice made in Taiwan, tokens made in Hong Kong, board and box printed in Canada'. Left it. Couldn't take the chance. 2nd items passed up - box lot of brand new Villeroy and Boch bowls with a solid sold comp of 25$USD each. All made in China. Was ready to pick up 10 for 50$ if the seller was agreeable. Left about 200$ pure profit.We found other items that weren't Chinese made and had a great day - our first of the year. But my brain is having to be rewired, and fear as time goes on it'll just get worse the more de minimis is attacked.
