Before running these numbers, I would have said it was an average week of sales last week, but I think I’ve been so focused on my spring cleaning and consignment port that I don’t have my usual perspective. It was actually a strong week for me with diverse sales.
A previous scavenge of the week: CBS Field of Vision softcover book from November 1962. $39 gross/just $13 net (shipping got me) but my COGS was only $5 so this one goes in the win column anyway. I’m happy with any profit on a new type of item because I get to learn and make a few bucks!
Another one! Ozzie Newsome signed Cleveland Browns football for $49 gross/$33 net, nailed the shipping and packaging on this one! Also a COGS of $5.
One more: Jim Rice signed 1978 Boston Red Sox yearbook for $26.48 gross/$20.82 net.
I had a buyer order three of my curated team lots, all New York teams, and left some really nice feedback in addition to the usual card sales that keep my store humming along. So it was a really nice week overall.
What did you sell this week?

my sales have been pretty slow but I didn’t list hardly anything for a good month or so. I’d assume my item rankings have suffered because of it. I just last week decided I needed to organize my inventory as I’m always losing track of where things are. I’ve started adding Bin numbers to each item and in doing so came across lots of things that I never listed. So lots of things listed in the past 4 days and plenty more to go.
Only 2 sales in the past ten days.
this Southern Magazine from 1967 that has a Kentucky Derby cover and I’d assume focus. Got a few stacks of magazines in an entire closet I bought through an online auction for about $5 total. I’d say my cost on this magazine was pennies at most.

BJU Press Geometry Subject Kit Grade 10 4th edition COMPLETE NEW
This one is a bit of a wash. I bought the full year kit for our homeschool but we use another program for math. It was cheaper to buy the entire year set than to pick/choose subjects, so I sold this one which just lowers my overall curriculum cost.

https://www.ebay.com/itm/235262212849 Sold a Youtube famous Fire & Light item. It took a while to sell. I have this and another that were in my death piles. I had no idea what they were when I purchased them. Paid $4-5
https://www.ebay.com/itm/335361720540 This bowl sold lightning fast. I am kicking myself for not picking up a dinner plate also because it was a single. Paid 4.99 GW
I think this was an old find of the week. https://www.ebay.com/itm/235406901333 I’m doing well with specialty barware as I have mentioned recently.
Looking through the remaining sales I am happy to see some DP, chipped, and no name items going out the door. It was a good week on Ebay.
