63 listings
I listed a little from the death pile of doom. I’m trying to take it one tote bag at a time.
I think being around so much inventory in my ebay room all week long is making me feel very boxed-in as I feel like throwing away 90% of my own belongings. I de-hoarded my nightstand, dresser and bedroom closet this weekend. I put on a Hoarders marathon and got rid of some much stuff! But I also added to my to-be listed pile as I did find several items that should sell decently: a coloring book for nearly $40 and a dvd for $30 were two surprises. I hoping to keep the momentum for awhile because my bathroom and basement are overdue for a complete clear out.
Have a good and profitable week, everyone!
67 listings for week ending Mar 17th.
Sales were slow so I’m running a 25% off sale on a majority of my store. That kicked off a flurry of sales that I’m pretty happy about.
I still haven’t touched my March DP. I don’t know what it is about that particular DP, I hate it so much! I’m making it today’s mission to cull at least 5 things from it to either list or donate. I’m going to do it right now.
41 items for the period ending March 10th. I believe only 2 items came from my DP but even worse is I’ve added stuff to the very DP that I’m supposed to be working on. Ugh. And somehow it’s already March 11th. I need to get a move on that DP!
67 listings for the listing week that ended March 3rd.
My March DP is the pile that perhaps plagues me more than any other. It’s in the corner of the room. It’s a bin and several large tote bags that I need for other purposes but have been unable to use because they are full of unlisted inventory. I did pull a few items out of it the other day and was surprised to find two NWT Athleta swimsuits I purchased back in August. This particular DP throws off the organization of my entire room because it’s supposed to be where I keep my clothing rack, light fixtures and mannequin when I’m not using them. Whatever I don’t get listed from it by the end of March is going to be donated. I think that will help propel me to work on it. I’ve started it several times over the years and always abandon it.
79 listings! I think that is my most ever. I had no idea I’d listed anywhere near that many. I had some easier things to list this week which certainly helped. I’m also trying hard to list 10 listings every day and having draft listings ready to go for those days when I need help getting 10 listings up.
I’m also chipping away at the DP, only 4 items left from the “clothing rack of doom.”
36 listings for the period ending Feb 18th. Didn’t make much headway through my death pile. That stuff is in the DP for a reason: IT ISN’T FUN TO LIST! 🙂
The last 90 days my sales are up 75% even though my average sale price is down 23%. The increase is largely due to the new amazon liquidation store in town where I’m finding some pretty amazing clothing scores (I got a $325 Vince silk blouse for $3!) and I’ve been listening to TechNSports on Youtube. He has a group you can join for a fee but so far I’m only listening to the free content. His no B.S. style has lit a fire under me.
Have a good week!
Hello Everyone,
For the week of Feb 5 – 11, I have 47 listings.
I was able to list 4 items from my death pile. I think I have 11 more item to list or donate in order to finish that particular death pile.
Have a good week!
Thank you V Lacy. Great minds think alike because after grabbing the ice pack for my back, I grabbed a large bag of M&Ms to set next to me as I reclined. 🙂
57 listings for the week 1/29 – 2/4.
I’ve sold 4 items from my January DP listings so far.
For February’s DP I listed 4, donated 2 and took another 2 in for repairs.
I was having a crazy productive morning today and was so excited for a productive week but then I badly strained a back muscle at the gym. I don’t know if I’ll be very mobile this week because of it. That seems to be the story of my life – things will be going in a positive direction to where I feel like my head is finally above water and then BAM! something happens that knocks me down for a while. Hmph! At least I have lots of stuff to crosspost since I’ll be in the recliner all day.
I’m fine with any reporting deadline y’all decide upon. It seems like most of us post by Tuesday or Wednesday so maybe one of those days….
I finished my January DP challenge early in the month and have chipped away at other DP areas in my room without much specific focus so for February my focus will be on my clothing rack. I haven’t been able to completely empty it in probably years at this point. There are 24 pieces of clothing on it that have some minor annoyance that needs to be dealt with like a small stain or pilling or broken strap or whatever that I keep putting off. I need to power through it.
18 items listed. This week kind of got away from me. I’m blaming the new liquidation store that opened nearby and The Great British Bake Off that I started binge watching last week.
I kind of forgot about my death pile until this morning! All I accomplished on that front was I took 2 DP items to a seamstress to repair/sew on buttons. Both repairs I could have done myself but I’ve found for $6, it’s faster and easier to let someone else do it for me. I don’t think I can even get to my sewing box anyway.
51 listings. I got thru 7 of the 9 DP items I had selected for the week. Two of those DP items I tossed. 1 sold within a few days of listing for a profit of $26.81 on the item. It’s nice when a DP item sells so quickly.
I had by far my most profitable sales day ever on the 18th. I couldn’t ship fast enough! Of course, it also happened that some of my most difficult to ship items sold all on the same day. Now fingers crossed that everything arrives to their destinations intact. I have been running a month long sale to blow out old inventory plus out of desperation one day I began promoting stuff left and right at much higher rates than previously. I’m shocked at how much those promotion rates take out of my profit but its working.
Hopefully the picture posts. This is my 2023 Trash Elf prize generously created by Amatino! I photographed it with my reselling supervisor, Cookie. She will literally come and get me if I’m not at my desk during the day. She sits/sleeps on right next to my laptop and wants me with her at all times. So in a way, she is responsible for me getting stuff listed each days.
24 listings. Unfortunately despite my best efforts, I came down with the nasty cold my husband brought home and as of yesterday I think it’s turned into a sinus infection. So that’s been fun and has severely hampered my productivity.
I was able to get thru 5 DP items – 4 I listed and 1 I donated because it wasn’t going to be worth the trouble to set it up, test and photograph. Even though it was only 5, it sure feels nice getting these old deathpile items out of my life. Just having unlisted inventory around makes me less productive and less motivated.
