Hi Becky. You are in our thoughts. Love your videos on you tube! HomebodyHeaven
Thrifty2, The USPS says Priority is delivered within 1-3 days. First Class is delivered within 2-3 days. So really? You gave someone a Neg FB over that? Did you really expect to receive the item in one day??? You couldn’t give her a break, even after she gave you one? Whatever happened to being kind? What kind of principle is that? Ever hear of “Do unto others…?” What goes around comes around. Sorry, but that was totally uncalled for IMO.
And no offense, ChristineR, but you have rather pointy ears. 🙂 however, cute!
I’m all in! Well, with maybe an occassional slip-up? I have a hard time running my weekly errands without seeing something I can flip. :-). But Christine you are reading my mind. A really interesting challenge would be to see who can keep from bringing home a single newly scavenged item the longest. (Excluding things like the wonderful chair with footstool and pillow plus big framed art piece that I scored for FREE this week, of course!)so we have to tell on ourselves if we fall off the wagon. I hope I won’t be the first!
I have forgotten how to pin an item on Pinterest. I did figure out how to pin an Ebay listing to one of my Pinterest boards. But will that show up on Pinterest for the general public, or only if someone repins it from my personal board? I have a weird plate that I want to put out there as a test to see if it will sell that way. Anyone here Pinterest savvy? I usually only repin things that are already on Pinterest.
That is termed “return on investment” or ROI. It makes a lot of sense. If you spend $1 to make $20 that is a much better ROI than spending $25 to make $100. (A return of 20 x your investment vs 4 x your investment.) Here is a little primer:
Oh, sorry about that. I feel the same way. There are some weirdos out there–regular SL’ers excluded of course! My friend once picked up a white scarf at an estte sale for a couple of dollars that turned out to be an Hermes. Sold it for $400! I known so little about upscale brands I’m always curious. I am a lifelong Missourian; we are Practical above all. By the way, you can alwys leave me an email on my blog comments–I haven’t written on it for months, but I can receive emails on it and they won’t show up on the blog if I don’t publish them.
Well, you could wait until it comes back in style–if you live long enough. I would donate it. Take photos and makea list of x amount of glass bowls. Figurines, etc. for your tax records. Take it to the thrift, get your receipt NOW before the end of the year. Problem solved. You will probably get more back in tac returns than you originally paid for it. What could be better than that? A win:win for you and the thrift store.
Here is an ETSY article about new postage rates for USPS and FedEx. https://www.etsy.com/seller-handbook/article/2017-shipping-rate-changes-for-usps/82172219517
Grady, you might want to take some time out and re-center your personal and home life, including personal relationships. It sounds like things are getting out of hand. This could be causing your anxiety.
Michael D, your system is obviously working well for you. Personally I work alone plus have no desire to list more than 40-50 items per week timewise. So I need to search out higher priced items if I want to increase my bottom line. But right now I’m listing the backlogs that I’ve avoided for a long time. So I am going to be listing groups or lots of lower priced items rather than individually like I used to do. That’s how I ended up with backlogs in the first place.
Terry, what kind of scarf sold for $125? Glad younwere inside the plane when you were flying, but otherwise would have been a pretty interesting story!
