Money spent on new inventory this week: 0Just got back from 2 weeks vacation. I really can’t thank you enough for the tip on changing handling time Jay & Ryanne! You’re right, no one seemed to mind! I came home and mailed out 13 packages, and this week is booming! This past week, highest sold was a vintage Green Day shirt for $129.99. This came from a giant dead bin I had stored in my shop. All items had to be washed in vinegar due to mildew smell. My hoarding tendencies are turning out to be profitable. True confession…I have bins & bins of vintage shirts and such that I thrifted many years ago that I’m just starting to dive into. I would have a very hard time even finding many of these items today. Another item I sold was a vintage Chicago Cubs shirt for $79.99. I’m a native Chicagoan and would have kept it if it fit. Lots of offers, but I held out and it sold full price the night they won the World Series!

Money spent on new inventory this week: 0Hi all! Congrats on the new site & new building project. Lookin good! I haven’t gotten to listen to the podcast yet as I am on vacation. Two weeks of numbers above. The first was an abysmal week of slow sales. However, that week was not lost as I was getting ready for a trip and bulked up my store with new and relists. Second week is vacation numbers. This is the first time I’ve left my store open while on vacation & changed the handling time. Thanks for the tip Ryanne & Jay! It’s really working out. To think of all the money I’ve left on the table while I’ve taken trips…ack! Sure is nice to hear a cha-ching while on vacation! This week is looking good too. Another week of vacation and then home to mail out.
