Tales Of A Flea Market Flip Failure

So, awhile ago, during my longish bout with unemployment (and, consequently, depression) I began binge watching Flea Market Flip on Netflix and thought, "Shit, this looks super easy!! I can turn a pile of crap into something else that someone will probably buy!!" I spent a ton of money on tables, chairs, and decorative looking junk at swap meets and yard sales.

Here is an old sewing table and FUCKING ADORABLE CHAIR that has a little drawer in the side (I have no idea why I go weak in my knees for crap like this, but I do). While working on this I had the idea to turn these into a kids activity center. And then I thought, "I'm going to make a fucking killing on this. Everyone will be fighting over who gets to buy this on Buy, Sell, Or Trade on Facebook!!!"

SEE???!! A-DOR-A-BLE!!! But, alas, no bidders... So, I guess my get-rich-after-umpteen-intensive-hours-of-manual-labor-to-refinish-old-crappy-furniture was a bust. I just so badly want to run my own restoration business (and speak with an accent) like that cute little British man on Salvage Hunters.

Is that too much to ask??!

Keep up with all of my latest failures and Share them with your friends who are probably more successful than both of us combined!
