Number of items listed this week: 13Decent week for February and not much listing. Can’t complain. We have construction and some extra life chaos going on. I’m hoping to get back to cranking on listings in the near future. I did catch up on the small bit of RA I did in February but I’m still working on getting through the rummage sale hauls and small haul from my mega-thrifts trip. The piles of death await after that.
Glad things are so great with the coffee shop and your vision has become reality. Yeah! This year seems to be going by so quickly. I can’t believe we are looking at spring break and Easter soon.
My poor son and his peers are having no luck with tech internships. Not great timing.
https://www.ebay.com/itm/234808737513 Holt Howard always a good name to check out. Yeah for a Christmas sale in mid-February! I’ve been having some focus issues with my phone camera settings that I need to address. This was an uber cheap one off rummage sale find.

Number of items listed this week: 0Slow week but typical for me for February plus I didn’t list. I’m celebrating selling two bars of thrifted soap for $40. Ebay can be amazing. This week should be much better for listing.
My husband mainly but I too have been having some issues buying on Poshmark with INADs. He just bought a pair of women’s shoes sold as mens for example. Bought a pair of pants marked 32″ inseam that were altered by about 5″. It’s a bit frustrating as a buyer. I told him to try looking for returns sellers on Ebay but he said the prices were higher on Ebay for what he was looking for.
I was looking through my store and noticed some super stale low end stuff. A few items I dropped to $5 and they still didn’t sell. Thinking of donating a few things in case they are a drag with the current algorithm. I did sell similar mid-2022 for everything listed 2021 or earlier.
Have a great week.
@Twizzle that was a typo. They were selling used cars not cards. I also enjoy vintage greeting cards. 🙂
https://www.ebay.com/itm/234806123974 I like to rescue these old metal recipe boxes. I don’t usually sell them with the recipes inside but I think some people like that. I also keep an eye out for vintage new old stock recipe cards and dividers to put in them. My mom had one when I was growing up. Just picked one up for a buck at the flea market.
Zero for me. Was out of town and have some distractions. This week will be challenging and then next week should be better.
https://www.ebay.com/itm/295529866607 (not my listing) I paid .49 apiece for a large lot of theses books from the 1970s – I had these in my childhood though my kids didn’t really love them. I had never seen the hardback version before.

Number of items listed this week: 0Sales very slow which is typical for this time of year but zero sales during my time away most of this week.
I spent three days in Fresno, California (inland, central California) while my daughter performed at an all state event. Let me tell you it was a thrifting bonanza in that city! I actually didn’t buy too much but visited like 15-18 thrift stores plus a flea market and was throughly entertained. (Our city and the adjoining one only have 8 thrifts.) In that city it was a variety of thrift flavors – large supermarket size stores, Goodwills, fancy run-by-old-ladies boutique thrifts, small independents, hipster thrifts with large cool graphic painted walls, antique/thrift blends. I met a indy thrift shop hoarder who invited me into her back storage (her prices were too high on the good stuff). There was even a big rescue mission thrift that resold used cards. In the same area are a lot of antique stores and I can only conclude that despite the expansive number of thrifts there are a lot of buyers heavily shopping them. I just found a handful of items to resell. The flea market was very low end with fabulous veggies but not a lot of great vintage items in good condition. Amazing Mexican food at the flea market though and people were very serious about reusing old clothes and items so that’s totally cool. Anyway it was super fun to hunt and I didn’t spend much or add too much to my death piles, so all good.
Only 8 for me. Plan for better this week. Ordered some Folex online and Amazon broke it in transit.
Sadly I don’t recognize any of the Sears exclusive outfits for Barbie from my youth. I do have some single pieces from some early black label outfits. Some of the items are pretty ripped up.
https://www.ebay.com/itm/234885777764 This was the best item I found at the church sale. It is new with musty odor from storage. I decided to keep as new rather than washing and disclose the odor. Hope I don’t get a cranky buyer. Paid like $2. I love church sale pricing!
https://www.ebay.com/itm/334587732610 Paid a super low $11 for this new item last year online RA. I haven’t been seeing that kind of pricing so far this year but will keep checking through March. I think I even got free shipping.

Number of new items listed: 8The usual slow February numbers, not helped by my lack of serious listing. Today should be a good day listing for a change. Congrats to those of you having strong February numbers! This is always the worst month for me, even worse than summer.
In the last couple of weeks I did a small amount of online RA. The prices are still not low enough generally speaking. No thrifting so no adding to the pile at least.
This morning there is an article in the Wall Street Journal about owing taxes selling on Ebay and how more and more Americans have a side hustle. I’d link but seeing a paywall.
