I wear Hokas all the time. They are really comfortable. Deckers Brand is here in our town. Very popular here.
Actually easy to ship compared to a lot of my stuff. Not breakable.
@Craig thanks! Sales really stink. I really should save listings as drafts so I would be posting new ones each day. I get impatient so it’s boom and bust. I created 10 yesterday but need to take photos.

Number of items listed this week: 35Not a great week of sales. Disappointing for this time of year. I’ve been thrifting a little more than I should be and need to buckle down for some serious listing. Enjoying the Thursday flea market though. Nice outing.
Amazing you have the patience to part things out. Glad you got your money back.
@Craig fun play by play. Scavenging is so interesting for the people you meet working sales and attending. I was thinking of you all as we have a huge annual book sale here. I just couldn’t get into it for resale but bought a few things for Christmas presents. I also have a huge backlog. There was one tiki art book I have wanted for years. The resellers got both copies on pre-sale night. To me, paying up to $20 to get in early is always worthwhile.
My scavenge of the week update? was a lot of 11 Hoka brand manufacturer sample tops. I paid $40 for the lot at the end of my daughter’s high school football rummage sale. I sold one extra small tank immediately for $20, so great. I don’t normally do clothes, so happy above that. https://www.ebay.com/itm/335029303137
Runner up is this kids’ quilt I got from a house clean out lady at the flea market for $5. https://www.ebay.com/itm/335029373208 I’m warming up to my local flea market. I found some Van Briggle pottery last week.
@Craig congrats on the bidding war.
Sale of the week was something I purchased arriving on the last day of an estate sale. Lots of people passed on it and I got it for half price $5 https://www.ebay.com/itm/234968284403
Yea! I made it to 900 listings for the first time yesterday! My goal is to reach 1000 in a month. Come meet me there VT.
@Retro Huge congrats for making it to the profit line on this and rounding the corner on listing it all.
Sorry to all who had Covid. Seems to be rounding.
https://www.ebay.com/itm/235093470281 Someone gave this to me for free a couple of weeks ago at the flea market. There were a bunch of lousy paintings, the way a good painter gets when they start to get old and lose it. The lady was just trying to keep her neighbor’s works out of the landfill she said. I thought this one would be saleable – and it was!
https://www.ebay.com/itm/335027862143 Had to pay up for this a bit at $10 and thought maybe I would get $30. The solds are quite high but a little stale. Starting at the highest price plus make offer as usual. The thrift stores are really dribbling out the Halloween this year, which is frustrating.
I have to have two this week. Had no idea how to price this. The comps were not nearly as well done. This lady was good at gourd art. Website no longer works. https://www.ebay.com/itm/235194331893 Paid $7.99

Number of items listed this week: 25Pretty good week on Ebay but I’m hoping for better listings and sales coming up. We have had a lot of extra expenses going on, I did a little RA and used shopping, and I have a ton of stuff here to list. Also have some outside Ebay stuff getting in the way. Making it hard to get into a groove.
Congrats on the dishwasher sale R&J! Amazing when you can use an item for free and then even make money on it.
I have 25 for last week. We have a ton of extra expenses so I need to crank
https://www.ebay.com/itm/235164400889 This is my favorite item I listed last week. Kind of a quirky little art piece that I just threw a price on. A current artist and I loosely based it on what she sells her stuff for online.
