SOLD FOR $13.05
SOLD DATE Nov 14, 2006
Well done, Sharyn, you’ve moved into the lead.
Sure does, JR. Glad you’re joining in! Your second point is up.
Only one Wednesday to go! Get your listings up, and hopefully get some sales through, and don’t forget to post next Wednesday.
Now I’ve got to get this danged binnacle listed! It’s deliberately right next to my desk so that I have to walk around it, but it still isn’t finished. *looks balefully at binnacle* I have a week to get it done, but the same week to finish three dance costumes. When I figure out why I do this to myself, I can probably write a book!
I was given a Body by Jake Buns and Thighs machine. I was rather dubious about it, but I looked it up and they’re selling for over $300 now. I thought it was nuts! So I’ve held off on listing it until I could figure out what was going on. Now I know why.
Thanks!
WedWoes #4 No point for me today. I’ve been working like a mad thing on costumes for our new show coming up in 10 days, so no work on any woes. That binnacle is sitting here next to my desk, leering at me. Arrogant thing! 😀
I’ve not heard of Netscape before, Utahbill, so I wouldn’t have thought to search for that. Thanks! Unfortunately, I’m not finding anything there either.
So far I’ve searched Lincoln, NASA, space, naval, drone, and now Netscape. I’ve used keywords “original” and “vintage”. I’ve done an image search. No luck. Google was kind enough to tell me it was a hat on the image search. 😉
Well, it looks like it’s unanimous, then. VT is our October nominator for the Paper Challenge. If you’ll put the specifics together, VT, and post them on October 1st, that would be great!
Unfortunately, it seems we have lost LittleBlueHouse, as this is the 6th week of not posting. I hope everything is okay. LBH, if you come back, we can reinstate you. If you look on the spreadsheet, you’ve just been moved down, not deleted entirely.
An interesting week, with three folks listing in the 40s, two in the 20s, and two in the tens. Very evenly spread. With only a couple points between you, Libby managed to edge in for the win. Great job! Wishing you fun with your daughter and your friend. Spreadsheet updated.
Don’t forget WedWoes! This is our penultimate Wednesday. If you do ANY work to prep a longstanding pain-in-the-posterior and get it listed and out of the house, and you post about what you did, you get a Wednesday point. Grab those clothes that need to go to the dry cleaners and toss them in the car. Even if they don’t get to the dry cleaners by Wednesday, the fact that you did that will both earn you a point AND encourage you to get to the dry cleaners! If you put the shoes in a row and dug out the polish, but you haven’t polished them yet, and you post about it, you get a Wednesday point.
Of course, if you actually list something, you get two points. List 10 things and you earn 20 points and could win the Challenge. It’s honestly that easy!
HUGE bonus – if you actually sell something, you get 4 points.
So whaddya waiting for? Go list already!
Yeah, I couldn’t find any Lincoln references. I tried NASA too but no luck. 🙁
VL, you have the coolest ideas! I love that twist!
Only… I started thinking about it and, practically, what would you include in that? For Arts & Crafts, you have a very broad interpretation. But I can’t think of any ephemera that I have. How would you make it as inclusive as possible? Maybe we could make it a quartet? The ACP&E Challenge! Arts, Crafts, Paper and Ephemera! Wouldn’t it be cool if this challenge was the one that everyone participated in! LOL
Oh, wait. I have some movie posters. Would those count as ephemera? Only… I don’t have a lot, so I’d get points for participating, but there’s no chance I’d win. 🙁
LOL. As if I win anything! My daughter made a rude comment about goldfish attention span the other day (referring to her tween son) and I told her “Be nice! Goldfish are my spirit animal!” If I was less of a goldfish, I’d probably get a lot more done! 😀
Still think VT runs it though. Hers was the originating idea!
Greetings Kate & Tom. Welcome to the Forum. Always pleased to have new Trash Elves join us!
Hi Stock21, happy to help, but I’m not finding anything that looks like that. Did you know you can search Worthpoint? You see the same stuff as subscribers, you just don’t get the prices. When you find any items, post the link here and then one of us will look it up for you.
That’s the fastest way to get answers, btw. For future searches.
Hmmm… anyone wanna nominate VT for the leader of the October Sewing Pattern challenge? *wicked grin*
We could make it a full out Arts and Crafts challenge?
Julie B – getting the clothes READY to go to the cleaners would have counted as an activity point, if you had posted on Wednesday! 😉 And I have to ask… do you find Chico’s sells well? I’ve had Chico’s sitting in my shop for months and not moving and figured it was one of those oversold items that used to be good but has lost value. Admittedly, mine is used not NWT, so perhaps that makes a difference.
Utahbill – good on you! It’s great to try something new. I’ve not used the mobile listing feature yet, so please report back on how easy/difficult/confusing it was?
Sharyn, you were upfront about having all the stock. You didn’t demand the challenge, you offered three categories and silver was seconded. If you hit a score for this challenge because of that – lucky you! You may have had a zillion pieces of silver, but if you only listed 3, you wouldn’t have gotten far. You did the work: you took photos and did the research and created a listing. And you did it 54 times! I will defend to the death your right to win this challenge based on the work you have done to win it. Anyone who wants to challenge you, does it by listing more than you. Let the silver challenge continue!
Actually got a batch done this week. My eBay BFF and I had a challenge going to see who could list everything we sourced the previous weekend to avoid adding to the Death Piles and she totally motivated me to get to it. I managed 16 out of my 40 items AND I didn’t go sourcing for more this weekend. If I can do the other 24 this week, I’ll have a good listing number and not have added to the DPs at all! Yay!
Wishing you all a great listing week and clear air to those who are suffering in the fires.
Monday morning cute just to help you through your week. A fun one for all Mario fans
I was actively promoting, and making sales, but someone on the forum mentioned there was no point if your item is one of a few. I’ve been actively cancelling promotions and it hasn’t really made much difference.
Personally, I think promotions are a money making gimmick for eBay with no real benefit to anyone, but with the added annoyance of seeing the same item twice if you’re a buyer searching for something specific. But it’s just my opinion, and as they say….
