Steven. It was exactly when I went over 600. So strange. And exceedingly frustrating.
Is the thing inside it a part of it?
To me it looks like a basket for beside the couch that you would have a hanging light attached to…Hi,
I’m pretty new to full time eBay…but have been selling part time for years. I’m no expert, but in general I think you have a lot of fairly ordinary stuff and fairly high prices.
Neither of those two things is a problem on its own, but the two things together don’t make a great combination.
For example, the American sailing ship plates…people list those all day long and can’t sell them for $5, so selling them for $50 is highly unlikely to happen.
That’s not to say that this is true about all your stuff. There are some great things listed on there too…What HAS sold for you? Maybe focus on those things?
Sorry if this is harsh…but I’m kinda a tell the truth type. 🙂
So this begs a question.
Most of my items were from a shopping trip I took several weeks ago. I haven’t really bought anything since.
But I don’t count those as death piles bc I am just still working through the huge mound from that trip. What I consider a death pile is stuff that’s been sitting in a box a long time that I REALLY don’t want to list. Lol.I’m ok with the challenge being either way. However, if it is a DP challenge in particular, can someone clearly define DP? Thanks. 🙂
Hi. Sorry. Flu hit our house, we seem a bit better now.
Marjean28, sorry to be a sucky partner right out the gate. LolMy email is icequeenocf@gmail.com
I’m ok posting it here, feel free to email me.So, this week was supposed to start
Items listed:60
From death piles: 13
New inventory purchased: $1.25 (lol)Steve (or any other electronic nerd). Would you buy a Panasonic tape-a-vision thingy (VTR) nv-3020 without a cord (so no way to even plug it in) for $15?
I have no idea what it is, but it looks cool 🙂I looked it up and only one has been listed and didn’t sell, so I didn’t buy it (and I know nothing about it). But it peaked my curiosity.
I have a photo will post later.Lol Ryanne. I do that too.
I got 18 of my 20 goal done before it got too cold in the garage.Ok. I’ve read the thread and would love to join a supportive challenge, but I’m a bit confused. Do you need a twin? How do you find one? Just read the podcast numbers thread?
I currently have 579 items in my store and am on a big push to try to hit 1000 by March.
So far this week (starting the 4th), I have listed 43 items. My goal for the week is 120 so I better get cracking!!!!
Clean kitchen counters are great!!!
I saw the twins challenge. But I got confused. Lol!
Icequeen,
I wondered why I had to be ice_queen!!
How did you get your name??
I’ve never “met” another Ice queen online 🙂Total Items In Store: 503
Items Sold: 9
Cost of Items Sold: approx $65
Total Sales: $251.39
Highest Price Sold: $90 set of 4 mini mugs
Average Price Sold: $26.93
Returns: 0
Money Spent on New Inventory This Week: $ 250 (big sourcing weekend)
Number of Items listed this week: 46Horrible week. Goal right now is $500 a week. Got a long way to go at this rate. Putting my nose down and listing all this new stuff will hopefully help!!!
That’s the funny part tho Jay, it wasn’t high end. And it WAS “box lots” I guess. Like 3 current plastic dolls from Walmart (sold for $25 and they cost about $5 each brand new and you can buy them today). There were some cool things (a lot of old trucker hats for example) but of 30 hats, probably 15 were sellable and another 5 had patches that would be sellable. That lot went for $65. I could have made a profit, but not enough of one to make it worth the time and money to me. Not special hats. Just old man trucker hats (John Deere, gas companies etc…)
