Did not pick up much this week at the flea. I do love the $1 guy though. I bought a few Pottery Barn shams and a couple of tees for myself. I also found another like new Ikea duvet for R&J.
https://www.ebay.com/itm/235819204325 Sold this small watercolor painting and this large platter. https://www.ebay.com/itm/235937449878
Items I personally like but took quite a long time to sell. Happily I sold this in one day https://www.ebay.com/itm/236137080030 It’s interesting because there were others around this price and apparently it was once sold out, but now available for about this price on the original seller’s website.
@Craig great sales! Happy for you to be all dialed in and having good sales. 🙂Sold 9 items gross $354; net $178. Only listed a couple of listings. I was happy to sell a watercolor painting on Ebay that had been listed a long time. Ebay is super slow for me despite running some sales. I really haven’t listed much in the last couple of months honestly. I hadn’t done sell similar since November did so on Monday. I was able to make 90 offers so far, which have not converted yet. After a couple more days I will run a sale and – knock wood – will be listing this week since I was excused from jury duty yesterday afternoon. Worked the last couple of evenings on the garage, with more stuff management to do. I’m going to let myself shop at the flea market and try to stay out of the thrift store. Summer of sales!!!
@VL congrats! That’s a huge accomplishment and I’m sure it feels good.
Confession time: my husband has had it with the current state of the garage. As I mentioned we were super busy and though my Ebay inventory is all organized, the pop up market stuff just landed in the car space. So I got back to work organizing and I’m putting myself on a flea market only buying hiatus until I have some of this stuff cleared. I declare it summer of sales!
I also did a sell similar reset today, so hopefully I can get some money coming from Ebay. I’m going to see how the reset does and then run a deep sale on my used inventory. My next pop up isn’t until June 21 thankfully.
Jury duty today. Hoping to be excused early as they usually ding the lawyers.

I found 4 of these very cool coffee mugs. There are some really neat patterns in this Frank Lloyd Wright home goods line.

These two discontinued design plates sold for great prices. Took a while for sure to get this price.
Hi Ryanne. You guys would get along great I would imagine. She’s also super productive and has a good sense of humor. She does pop ups at Luckett’s Market – not sure where that is in relation to you.

Ananda’s Mercantile. She’s also a Virginia realtor.
I made a boo boo and bought two large faux candle lanterns (modern) for an upcoming night market. On one the springs came out with the battery. Is that hard to fix? TY
I didn’t feel like going to the Flea last week but was so happy I did – got a Vera Neumann scarf for $1 and a signed David Weidman serigraph for $25.
Hi everyone, I agree that I would certainly miss the forums. I’ve been super busy outside of Ebay but I love checking in somewhere with smart and friendly sellers. I sorely miss hearing from R&J and guys – I hope you are doing very well. Too bad I was not getting serious on Ebay while the podcast was still going. I listen to a few now but they pale in comparison to the analysis and relatability of SL. So grateful for the free education on Youtube and from the Podcast.
I’m into the forums for the long haul, however long that lasts. If still around I’ll report on my trip to the Ebay open in August. For me it’s mostly about the wait for affordable and accurate time saving listing from photos. Listing is the part where I fall down. I will stop by the List Perfectly booth but my hope is that Ebay will fix their poor beta version ASAP. At $100/mo for LP+ I can’t do it since I’ve been so inconsistent. I’m not as interested in cross-posting either, though I hear Poshmark is still going fairly strong.
Steve: happy retirement!
BTW, I’ve been thinking of getting a spot in a brick and mortar by next year. This talented gal in Virginia is very inspirational. Though it is a bit more country than I would do here, she’s really great at blocking and styling. I’ve been watching a lot of her videos. She’s at the Factory Antique Mall in Verona Virginia in case you have time to go by there on your travels.
Ebay frequently runs these experiments overseas. I think the sellers will not like it and US sellers are more vocal and chances are they won’t roll it out here. They probably are taking some notes as well on the trouble changes at Poshmark and Mercari. This one is a bit sneakier, but I still think big sellers would object.
I am careful about my PL settings because I have heard they will pound you for stepping out and it lasts a while.
Hi everyone. I finally got back to listing last week with a couple. A lot of life going on and big kids transitioning. I have a pop up market this weekend and a few scheduled for summer and October will round out my live season.
I have been seeing a lot of old friends and celebrating with family. Also helping a family member through some struggles.
Ebay hasn’t been rewarding me with many sales. Happy to get back on the bandwagon. I have been sourcing too but have missed many of my favorite rummage sales.
@VL congrats on the donating. I did a lot of reflection and some purging last year. Also got rid of some stuff and dug deep for the successful farm sale. There is yet another layer of unlisted, undeserving stuff. I’m thinking of having a garage sale with the objective of getting back some of my money on this old stuff. I also have been using Facebook Marketplace a bit more. I have a few items from my grandmother’s house that I plan to put on there – they have been stored for years where I could be putting some nice, listed inventory. A lot of work to be done here.
I decided to go it’ll only be like 120° out 😎. I need to book today because Southwest is starting to charge for bags tomorrow. I don’t gamble since the cost of it went up in the late 80s. A close friend may join me and work while I’m at open events. Pretty cheap and I never have any good wrote offs, so very cool.
Sales have been poor. I’ve been on vacation mode twice and haven’t listed for 6 weeks. I have the store back on and running a sale so things are picking up. Should be able to list by this weekend.
I’ve been thinking a lot on the amount of stuff management I’m doing and the old low end stuff I have around. The live sales create their own clutter. May do a little more Facebook Marketplace and move some things out.
Hello! I finally am back in town and going to the flea today.
Weekend before last my friend’s husband bowed out of a Beyonce concert in Los Angles and near their house was a cool estate sale. The daughter had kept the mother’s Midcentury art priced too high to flip but it was super fun to look at. Crazy packed house with an ocean view. We both picked up a lot of cleaning products and I got some large seashells, small figurines, etc. Picked up two originals by another artist. https://images.search.yahoo.com/yhs/search;_ylt=Awr90o0XMy9oUKIvSlk2nIlQ;_ylu=c2VjA3NlYXJjaARzbGsDYnV0dG9u;_ylc=X1MDMTM1MTE5NTcwMgRfcgMyBGZyA3locy10cnAtMDA1BGZyMgNwOnMsdjppLG06c2ItdG9wBGdwcmlkA3VjczlILjlHUW5PMHc0dlB5VXdaQkEEbl9yc2x0AzAEbl9zdWdnAzEEb3JpZ2luA2ltYWdlcy5zZWFyY2gueWFob28uY29tBHBvcwMwBHBxc3RyAwRwcXN0cmwDMARxc3RybAMyNgRxdWVyeQNlYmElMjBrb2xvc3ZhcnklMjBzY3JlZW5wcmludHMEdF9zdG1wAzE3NDc5MjM3Mzk-?p=eba+kolosvary+screenprints&fr=yhs-trp-005&fr2=p%3As%2Cv%3Ai%2Cm%3Asb-top&ei=UTF-8&x=wrt&type=Y149_F163_202167_081020&hsimp=yhs-005&hspart=trp#id=1&iurl=https%3A%2F%2Fmir-s3-cdn-cf.behance.net%2Fproject_modules%2Ffs%2F414cef9874589.560dba4cc44d5.jpg&action=close
She had three cool backyard fountains but it would have been a PITA to get them home. My goal is to find one used, as they run about $500+ new
