Regularly, Christine. Regularly! Mostly the item specifics go MIA, but I’ve also had price, description, and promotions go walkabout too. It’s annoying, because there are so many I.S. and they’re a pain to redo!
For reference, I’m also on a desktop. I use Chrome and Firefox and it doesn’t seem to matter which browser I’m on.
Please let me know if you want me to amend your goals for Q2.
Sharyn, yours has been changed as requested.
Thanks, Lacy!
Seems to be a rough week for us, but we still got listings up. Julie, you won again. Well done!
Sales are so bad, it’s beyond the pale. However, it is just before taxes and I remember that the month (or so) before taxes is always tight. My feeling is that if I continue to list, I’ll have good stock for when folks start spending again.
As promised, it is the new quarter, so here are your averages for the year to date:
Goal Actual
Amatino 10 4
ChristineR 13 9
Julie B 30 35
Junque Redux 1 1
Sharyn 20 9
Vintage Lacy 15 12
Vintage Treasures 25 18If you want me to revise your goals in the next quarter, let me know.
We will be starting a new thread for the new quarter. However, I’m going to leave this thread open for a couple days so that you can post amendments if you need any.
Only 3 listings this week, 2 of which were MMC. I will be working on my MMC stuff for the month of April too, so will it become my April Absurdity Challenge? Hmmm… perhaps my April Adherence Challenge, because I sure hope I stick to it!
Unfortunately, I ended up being very busy off-eBay and didn’t get as many listings up as hoped. The week looks clear, so fingers crossed it’s a good one this week.
I did get my taxes in, though, so one more headache resolved until next quarter. Sigh! I wish my taxes paid for things like good roads rather than overpaid politicians.
And, having reminded y’all last week to buy your shipping supplies – I forgot. Head… desk… repeat!
New month! New year – for me, as it was my birthday yesterday. New beginnings. Wishing you all a great start to Q2
@Sharyn, you and I must have been writing at the same time. When I logged in, there were no posts for the week and I thought I was the first one! LOL. Wishing you a great result for your online auction!
@VT, have you tried wreath hangers for purses? I bought a pack of 2 clear ones from Amazon for about $6 +- and I stuff a purse with paper, hang it on the wreath hanger and take photos. Because the hanger is clear, it “disappears” and the purse looks good in the photos. It’s the easiest way I’ve found of doing it.
As this whole (work) week is still March, I will take next week as the last week of the MMC.
Wow, another week of just one point between the top players – only this week it’s positions 2 through 4, as VT got a very deserved win. Well done to you all for great numbers this week. Spreadsheet updated. Next week I’ll go over the averages for YTD.
Last Monday of the month AND of the quarter! Don’t forget to put in your shipping supplies order!
Listed 10 this week, of which 8 were my MMC. I’m not going to finish all my women’s clothes this month, as hoped, but at least I’ve got it moving. I’m going to push through until I clear it, and hope to be clocking at least double what I did this week going forward. ooooh… wouldn’t it be great if I could double my listing numbers every week? 😀
Wow, it was a close race this week with just one number between the top 3 slots! And VT and I were tied! LOL Well done to Lacy for taking the win.
Remember you need to list OR donate items in your MMC to get the bonus point.
2 listings for me. Neither of them were for my MMC, but I did have my Modeling Party this weekend. We had an absolute blast and it was a total madhouse, with outfits coming out like a high-paced runway show! Now the big haul of doing all the flat-lay and creating the listings. Most of my listings for the next couple of weeks will be the MMC items that I photographed on Saturday. Unfortunately, in all my extensive planning, I completely forgot to plan what to do with the clothes AFTER they had been modeled! Now I have a huge jumbled pile of everything on the futon in my living room – which means all my neatly pressed and sorted items need to be neatly pressed and sorted again! I’m such a silly twit!
Fun story! When I was a toddler my gran called me a silly twit and I was SO offended. I put my little hands on my little hips and advised her seriously “I’s not a silly tit!”
Spreadsheet updated and Julie takes a very deserved win!
Remember, folks, for every item that you list OR donate items in the MMC, you get a bonus point. So both Julie and Lacy get a bonus point this week.
Wishing you all a terrific week!
One big fat listing!
I’ve finally found all of the clothes and shoes I have and am prepping for the Modeling Party we’re having this Saturday. I’ve started to sort them all: washing, ironing, checking for damage, etc. It’s a HUGE job! Sharyn, kudos to you for doing this for your neighbor! Sheesh, it’s a lot of work. I’m excited to get rid of all of this. You need to see how much space it has cleared! Hopefully I’ll have big fat listing numbers from next week when the items start getting listed.
When is the Spring Sale, Lacy? Sending good luck wishes.
Sharyn, hope everything is okay. Sending vibes for whatever you need: happy, healthy, ability to not kill somebody. 😉
Wow, you guys are the greatest! I don’t feel so bad now, and I feel very motivated to clear these clothes. If I could just list all of them, I’m going to guess about 300 items, and sell them at an average of $10 each, I’d have enough to afford a trip to visit my family in England! I think I should put on of those goal boards on my fridge, you know the ones that look like an old-fashioned mercury thermometer? Then I can track my goal! LOL
Here’s to us all moving out our massive mountains of money-making miscellany in March!
Spreadsheet updated. Congratulations to Julie for another win!
Wow, okay, it posted! Yay! Let’s see if the photo uploads now.
It’s rather embarrassing to post this, but for the sake of the group, here you go. If I’m this bad, hopefully others will feel empowered… or I’ll just look awful. *cringe* Do you think I should run one of those raffles – you know where you have to guess the total number and the one closest wins a prize? LOL There are over 150 items hanging on the round rail and I still have boxes to unpack and the cart full. Notice there are clothes on the quilt frame at the back!
I’ve tried 3 times to post now, and I keep being told I’m a Spammer. I use BitDefender and they have a really fierce anti-tracking and security feature. I can’t browse Etsy AT ALL unless I disable it, and various other websites give me hassles. It’s so annoying.
Zero for me. I chose women’s clothes as my MMC and spent the entire week finding everything I have hidden everywhere! I’ll post the photo that I’ve tried to post in the last triple attempt if I manage to get this post up. I’m getting tired of re-typing the same things.
