8 listings this week.
I hit an epic estate sale this weekend. Closets and closets and closets full of NWT clothes from Talbots. I wouldn’t normally buy Talbots in smaller sizes but everything I bought was brand new and everything was priced between $2 and $5! A few weeks prior, I was at an estate sale of another clothing hoarder who had tons of NWT Chico’s clothing and who collected Berek sweaters. I’m buried in mountains of clothing to list. Not my most favorite thing to list but when the deals are this good, I couldn’t pass it up.
I hope everyone has a profitable week!
Thank you everyone for well wishes and for your concern. For awhile there I was having more bad days than good but I seem to have turned the corner for now. All in all, I have it so much better than a lot of other women who deal with fibroids. I had an MRI last week which didn’t show anything new other than it continues to grow. It’s the size of a grapefruit. My mom had a friend who once had one the size of a basketball and it weighed 50 lbs! I can’t even imagine. I meet with the surgeon Aug 10th to discuss and schedule surgery.
I did manage to list 18 items, which may have triggered the deluge of sales I’ve had over the last few days. I have 13 items to ship this morning! That’s pretty amazing for a Wednesday.
Thanks for well wishes everyone. Some days I feel perfectly fine and other days I feel like complete garbage. There seems to be no rhyme or reason to it.
I forgot to post yesterday. I had 16.
2 listings.
Had to migrate over to a new laptop this week which slowed things down quite a bit for me. I’m also dealing with a large-ish fibroid that has been causing me more bad days than good lately. I talk to a surgeon in two weeks about that, finally!
Tonight I’m going to sit in front of the t.v., eat candy and crosspost. It should be a lot faster with my new macbook.
Have a good holiday and week, everyone!
11 listings and I completed the last of the 3 armpit items I had started the week prior.
My laptop has been overheating a lot, especially when I try to cross list so I’m biting the bullet and buying a new one tomorrow. I hate spending the money but it’s time.
29 listings. I also completed 2 of the 3 armpit challenge items by taking one item to the tailor and throwing away the 2nd item.
The last several days have felt like I have a newborn at home. But it’s a post-op cat. Went in to have a small cyst on his neck removed and a teeth cleaning but they ended up finding he had a broken fang with exposed root and bone loss. Poor kitty, ouch! He’s been pretty high all weekend and wearing a cone has made things much harder. Cat cones are so small compared to dog cones & he hasn’t been able to eat or drink on his own so we’re doing it by hand! And to make it worse, he was acting like he had a urinary blockage so we had to closely monitor that as that can quickly become an emergency. We almost went to the Vet ER twice over that. We’ve been taking turns watching him. I’ve been doing the 2 a.m. to 8 a.m. shift. I’m dead tired. I think we may have turned a corner today. He also got a different kind of cone in the mail today so hopefully he’ll be more comfortable and can eat/drink on his own.
For the armpit challenge – I have a vintage Lilly Pulitzer maxi dress with stains that i’ve had for years because everytime I think I’m going to try to clean it, I get frustrated before I even start. So I’m going to list it as is. I also have a cool dress from the show Making the Cut that sells on Amazon for $199.99. I bought it at a bins store for $4 and while I’m excited to flip it, it’s super heavy and has that kind of fabric that takes forever to steam. And lastly, I have a vintage St John santana knit dress with some holes that I think a seamstress could easily fix. I’ll take that to the seamstress today.
Amatino, thanks for posting pics. I love seeing people’s reselling spaces.
61 listings for me! That’s my 2nd highest for the year. Had I known I was only 5 away from my yearly high I would have listed some yesterday. It did not feel like I listed that much. I went back and counted again today because it didn’t seem possible. I’ve been taking photos as much as possible over a few days and then in the afternoons/early evenings I list while watching tv. I spend less time in my eBay room this way and I think that’s why it doesn’t feel like I’m listing as much, maybe.
<p style=”text-align: left;”>Posting early because I’ll be out of pocket for a little bit. 48 listings.
I’m way ahead on taking photos, which is really helping me churn out the listings. Two days this week I took photos as long as I could possibly stand it.</p>Hoping Amatino is okay!
46 listings. I realized this week that I let me skittles go by the wayside so I’ve made a new list of skittles to work on.
Win of the day: I FINALLY cleaned off my shipping station that hasn’t actually functioned as a shipping station for years because its been covered in so much junk for so long.
I had a really good listing week, 60 listings! 20 of those were all done yesterday. I’ve been concentrating on taking as many photographs as possible early in the day and then listing in the afternoon or evening when I’m in front of the t.v. I usually have more items photographed than I can list in a day. Before, I would often take photos of one or two things and then list and go back and forth. The problem with that method is it gave me a lot of natural stopping points and I’d find myself wandering off to do something else or I’d start searching the internet, etc. Now, I’m not stopping between photographing items so I don’t really have what feels like a natural stopping point. I just photograph until I’m tired of it.
