We were hesitant about taking the plunge two years ago and going BIG TIME with a site on 1stDibs. Could we afford the charges? Would we do OK? All sorts off questions came to mine. All our insecurities raised their ugly heads and made us doubt. But then the only way one gets something done is to go ahead and try.
We had been on another national site. We had made expenses and even done well. We had sold to designers such as Kelly Wearstler and Micheal Smith, when he was working on the White House, also to Oparah's designer, Nate Berkus. So why not try a bigger and better site.
December two years ago we took the plunge and signed up for and started listing on 1stDibs. From the very first we began to do well selling well. This was not without it's perils. Shipping has been a real learning curve. What to use more importantly what not to use. All and all 1stDibs has been great. The really fun part comes when you sell things to designers and clients all round the world. For a moment you can connect to important people and for a while we can live vicariously . Producers, Famous Designers, and even a Princess are among our clients. Who knows who will want what, but because of our site we are able sell world wide, even in a small town off the Chesapeake Bay.
