@Sharyn Yup, it was me that posted this because I found a batch of items. Mine were sold in the previous year and then relisted this year!
@jumbleandclutter My saving grace (in more ways than one) has been Easy Auction Tracker. It’s an Excel spreadsheet program that pulls all your sales for the year and does all your financials. I just open the spreadsheet, type in the keywords of the item I’m searching for, and it finds them for me. The only stuff it doesn’t find is Bonanza sales, but I don’t have a lot of those, so it doesn’t matter. Can’t recommend this program enough – it does my financials AND helps me find sold items that eBay glitches back to Active. eBay’s response to me was to “just do a stocktake.”You know what? Re the sprints, let’s go! I just had to rummage for a sold item in my shed and I hate hate HATE the piles of stuff in there not yet listed. I hate having to step over and around things because they’re piled, not sorted.
If Wednesday doesn’t work for you, let’s pick another day. Monday and ….? Two two-hour sprints per week.
And this week’s challenge? I’m going to double my numbers this week. Minimum 20 items listed.
I’m done! So done! Either I list this stuff or I just pile the lot in my car and go to Goodwill!
Hey VT. Well done, you!
I didn’t complete a sprint or my challenge. It was a total bust week for me. I’m still struggling with my back, I had a huge order to pack, and a run into the country to take collect a sewing machine. I also worked on financials, because I took an extension and now have to get all my taxes ready for October. Erk! I just totally lost all motivation for eBay this week, which is odd, considering I had a big sale go through. 🙁
I’ll take my penalty.
Congrats, you two.
It’s a bust for me. Got a few drafts up, but nothing listed. I’ve lost my bay-jo.
I had a huge order to pack up. That’s huge as in a large item, not a large number of items. It weighed 77LB before I added an single bit of packaging and needed special packing supplies to protect the glass. Took a day and a half to get finished, dropped it at FedEx and was delivered to the buyer the next day. Wait, what? Seriously impressive timing, but I’m waiting to see if they accidentally upgraded my order to Overnight because the guy in the store before me was shipping overnight. The invoice will tell.
Had a drive in the country to go pick up a vintage sewing machine for the hubs. Cute machine but zero parts available for it, so I’m not sure how we’re going to get it working. And did paperwork for taxes because tax deadline is a scary six weeks away! But yeah, no listings done. 🙁
LOL Retro! 😀
Actually, when I dug deeper, I found out these folks aren’t new. They’ve been around for a while. They’re obviously successful at it. They started as a plus size specialty supplier and now offer most sizes.
And they’re introducing the concept to retailers
Thanks for these, Sharyn. Apart from the side plank, these are all exercises that MY chiro gave me too! 😀 😀 😀 😀
I do a plank sequence, but I have it in my strength training routine, not my stretching routine. Interesting that your chiro reckons it’s a stretch. Also, on the doorway stretch, I was warned to keep my elbow bent so that my arm is kinda at a 90-degree angle, but not quite. Apparently how high you place your elbow affects what part of you is being stretched. I was skeptical, so I tried it with my elbow at different heights and was quite amazed at the difference!
Howdy Texas! Yeee-haw!
I like your user name. Did you see the movie Short Circuit? Such a fun romp. LOL
Ok, so Klean Strip Adhesive Remover actually worked! It cost a whopping $7.45 for a quart and, after weeks of working on this machine, removed the gunk in seconds. Jaw is bruised from hitting the table! I used a Q-tip on a tiny section to test if it destroyed the finish, and it didn’t. The decals are intact too. I only applied it for a few seconds, then washed it off immediately as I was terrified it would damage the japanning or the decals, so I don’t know if it could be left on for several minutes. The tin says good for metal, wood, and masonry.
Woot!
Sharyn, yes please!
My chiropractor was a freaking genius… until he was rude enough to retire without asking my permission, and the other ones I’ve visited so far are just a Liability Lawsuit waiting to happen. I have some serious hardware in my neck due to a violent home invasion, and I can’t have the wrack-and-crack treatment. Try telling these quacks that! One guy actually argued with me, vehemently, that I was not “feeling pain” but it was “the tense muscles releasing” causing “some discomfort”. And this AFTER actually SHOWING him my x-rays!
LOL. Google Translate is your friend! 😀
I even use Translate when I meet up in person. Speak my sentence into the mic-operated input, and it says the Spanish. Let them speak into it with Spanish and it translates for me into English (no hablo muy bien Espanol!) Translate is kinda clunky, but it def works for me IRL
VT, your “problem” is my dream-come-true! I would just love to be able to sell so much that I can’t keep my listings up to the number! Hope that makes you feel better. 😀
Okay, one 2-hour listing sprint this week. If you like, we can make it just that – one sprint. Any day of the week that works for you, and you must report back at the end of the week as normal, with the sprint information in your report. That way we can fit it into our schedule/back pain as it best works this week. Then, next week, we’ll choose a day for future sprints. I vote mid-week! If we do a sprint on Wednesday, it might just be the kick in the keister we need for listing for the rest of the week AND it gives us Monday and Tuesday to clean/prep/research so that we can really kick asp and take names!
