For me that “feeling” that it’s been a slow week was actually more than a feeling. (Now that song is in my head.) The bright side might be that it was easy to meet my goal for the week of passing the 200 mark for active listings.

I’m still in the “race to 500” phase of my store, so I understand that the size of my store & the long tail nature of a lot of my items might add up to some slow weeks. So, I’m forging ahead & next week I’m shooting for over 230 listings. And my sales are already trending up from last week. (Whew!)

I’m definitely on the decluttering bandwagon right now, but until I make headway on the front, I’m doing my best to avoid catching auction fever.

I’m in Missouri and it didn’t actually flood here, we just had a couple days of rain/sleet. I think the water came down fast enough & the ground was frozen enough that the water pooled up by my foundation and found its way inside.

I hesitate to post numbers for my fledgling store since it’s still so small, but I decided to check my ego and put it out there for accountability’s sake.

A flooded basement got in the way of my listing goal for the week — we had to vacuum up about 170 gallons of water & then deal with the remaining mess. I’m so glad I had access to a giant shop vac.

My stretch goal for the week is to get my listings up to 200, which probably sounds like a piece of cake, but for me it will be a feat.

Hope we all meet our goals this week.
