We realized that for the last six months our eBay store has been a mix of Housecleaning and Auto-pilot. We’ve either been listing mainly low-cost items from our “death piles” (items we’ve been putting off listing), or simply been traveling and done nothing in our store at all. We haven;t even been scavenging much
But because our large inventory lets us float for up to three months at a time, we’ve consistently been making about $6k a month. This pays all our bills (plus some), yet we’re definitely making less than years past. No complaints here: at the end of the year we’ll have a very clean house/storage and have lots of good memories hanging out in new places. It’s just good to note that decisions we make have a direct effect on our business.
Now for some shameless self-promotion: If you want a winter break, consider renting our Farmhouse. We’ll give great deals to any Trash Elves. It doesn’t get really cold in Virginia till January so it’s a great time to go hiking in the Shenandoah National Park.
