I was out of commission most of yesterday with one of my quarterly migraines. Or maybe they’re cluster headaches? Not sure I know for sure. I’m feeling better today and a slow week of sales isn’t changing my mood at all. I am still working diligently on my spring cleaning, and you can see what that looks like if you sort my store by newest inventory. Lots of lots! And bulky items. I love it. But very few items from that spring cleaning sold last week. I’m happy with the progress I made and going to stay the course, but individual trading cards and small trading card lots kept the lights on for me this week. The biggest sale was this Honus Wagner bat card ($50 net after COGS) and my favorite sale was this 10 card lot of Yankees cards (around $15 net) which is currently on its way to Australia. I didn’t even know they had baseball Down Under!
I had exactly one weird item sell this week, this Edward Morris signed duck print which was just a $10 net profit after COGS. The buyer had lots of questions about measurements before they lowballed me because the print was too big or small for their purposes, or something. But this had sat for 6 months without a peep from an interested buyer, so I’m happy it’s ending up in someone’s collection.
What did you sell this week?

@Craig sorry to hear to get migraines. I only had a couple in my lifetime but they were hell. Good for you cleaning out. I’ve started doing the same. I put 150 items on 40% off, based on less exciting, time listed, and lack of good comps. It’s interesting that other non-sale items in the same category as the sales started immediately selling instead. Who knows Cassini secrets?
Gurley candles are good, but one of these were broken and they are fragile, so I put this on clearance and it sold. https://www.ebay.com/itm/335231811443 Found in the back of a pantry at an estate sale.
I was beginning to regret my Macys final clearance RA but happily this sold https://www.ebay.com/itm/235459881631Paid $7 I think. Brads Deals says Macys is still running clearance btw. Lots of toys, Christmas, and kids clothing.
One of the other things I noticed this week while organzing is that my Pottery Barn new item cardboard box is so beat up. This brand does really well for me on Ebay. Sometimes I am lucky enough to find PB in the package but it also sells pretty well used.

Not my highest dollar sales, but interesting nonetheless.

Twilight Zone Tower of Terror Disney T Shirt Mickey Size L
Sold on offer for $40. Paid $4 at Goodwill. It bugs me that Goodwill charges the same for a T-shirt as they do a nice polo or sweater, but whatever. The numbers make sense or they don’t. In this case, the numbers most certainly made sense!

Disney Pixar Cars Night Vision Goggles Lightning McQueen Spy White Wall Diecast
This is an item from a LOOOONG tail pipeline. I bought several large tubs of Pixar Cars die cast figures from a yard sale a few years ago. I have made so much money from that haul – several thousand. There were some cars I sold for $100+! I still have an entire bin I never listed of lower dollar cars. Maybe I should just create a big lot and get rid of it. Anways, I sell a couple of these individual cars every month for $7-15 each. It adds up.
