2020 has been a highly upsetting year with the global pandemic halting world economies, shutting down businesses and taking precious lives. Many people have lost their jobs, income stability and in the worst cases, their loved ones.
World economies have suffered greatly, and businesses have taken the brunt of these hits and struggled simply to survive the past year. Retail businesses in particular had a rough time and many ended up closing shops permanently.
Just like every other business, picking was affected immensely as well but we are very grateful that we survived the worst and are still here to tell stories.
What About Picking?
Social gathering restrictions are applicable to garage sales, flea markets and other picking events as well, which has had an impact on the picking industry. It is rare and difficult for people to host sales or markets in this climate and sellers are just as upset as buyers.
However, even in the midst of this global peril, there are still killer deals to be found for pickers if they look hard enough.
Picking in 2021?
This is the time to be creative with your picking adventures and try to conduct your treasure hunting on the paths less traveled. Notably, pickers are looking for, and successfully finding, great deals on social media platforms such as Facebook and Instagram.
Additionally, websites like Craigslist are also a hotbed for successful picking to make profits. These online platforms are changing the world in many ways and online picking is just another way they are achieving this.
Practicing social distancing is of utmost importance in recent times and we should all try to make less contact in our lives. If you do find picking events that are taking place in some parts of the country, we highly recommend you follow social distance guidelines to mitigate the spread of the pandemic.
