Ryanne,
Yep, we are having some late night Keto lasagna that my wife claims is just as good as regular lasagna.
I will report back on what I think of it.
Mark
My family is now on team Keto. Well, my wife and daughter, but my other daughter is holding out (she is in great shape because she is in competitive gymnastics.
I do miss some foods, but once I get to my ideal weight I will back off a bit. Like take 1 day a week to eat what I want so I can continue.
The trick I have found is to find the foods you really like that are Keto. Then, you get to eat delicious food and you don’t care what you are missing.
My favorites so far are meat of all kinds (Lunch meat, steak, Ribs, Pork Tenderloin, etc), eggs, and cottage cheeze (this is a debatable Keto food, but I love it).

I have sold a fair bit of electronics and never had an issue with it.
But if they are real expensive, then yes, I would take a picture of the seriel number and put it in the listing. The invisible ink is a good idea also.

T-Satt,
In that link you say “This is why I put some degradation in my forecast STR numbers for future months.”
What does that formula look like?
Mark
Retro,
” I’d like to add is an option to disable “best offer” while the sale is running.”
I’ll Second that!
Nothing like a $30 item with 20% off ($24) then get an offer for $14 or $15. Not much room left to negociate!
Mark
This article at the end says to try “Market your lower cost items”.
Maybe this is good advice to us to try and list our lower cost items right now if we haven’t.
Mark
Sales have been trickling in.
I have been taking best offer on anything remotely reasonable.
These are times are when you list and take any reasonable offer.
Hopefully, things will turn around soon.

Sharon,
Those boxes work for some of the irons, but not for most of the drivers. Most drivers are about 45″ or so, so a 48″ box can handle just about any golf club.
Mark
DT,
Yep, I get the 240 SQ ft bubble wrap from Sams along with the tape. I also get their copy\printer paper. A steal when it is on sale.
Mark
Btw, I get my boxes from a local wholesaler. About the same price as Uline, but I pick them up so no shipping charges – shipping can be 75% of the cost of the boxes.
Mark
Geoff,
In general you can get free boxes and I do. But, I still do have to buy the speciality boxes. Not too much cost. I have to buy the 48 x 4×4 bows for golf clubs, 20 X 15 X 6 boxes for brief cases (the eBay box that the 10 X 8 X 6 comes in works fine, but I am all out!) and a few others. Shipping is much more fun now.
Mark
Totommyto,
No problem. It is amazing to me me that with all of the experience that we each have, but guess what? We are still learning a lot. Even in the case I mentioned, I knew what to do, but saw in a tangible way why to do that.
That is the real power of this forum; we all learn from each other and we all just keep getting better at this business. I know for myself that I wouldn’t be half as good at this as I am without this forum. I think most people here can attest to that.
Mark
That was suppose to say that I was going to offer $30 for both at the estate sale.

2019-01-06 – 2019-01-12
Total Items In Store: 2,626
Items Sold: 22
Cost of Items Sold: $80
Total Sales: $818
Highest Price Sold: $180 (Golf Bag)
Average Price Sold: $37.18
# Items Listed: 25
Money Spent on New Inventory: $83Gut Sales Report for the week: I thought that looked familar in today’s title! Good sales for the week, but sales have taken a dive since Friday. Since Friday, I have only sold $70.
Challenge of the week: My Lister is back, so I have to gear up to be able to give her items again.
Scavenge of the week: Marble Chess Set for $10.
What I learned this week: Always wait for the seller to offer a price if you can. This has always been my angle, but it worked well this time. That marble chess set was $20 and so was a nice Waterford. I was going to see if they would take $20 for both at the estate sale. Then, since it was near the end of whole sale, the guy says, “I am making deals”. So I waited for the lady at the checkout to give me a price and she says $20 for both! Better than what I was going to ask for. Didn’t try to counter because probably their lowest already.

BourbonTrailBazaar,
I am currently on Wonder Lister and I am the one writing all the custom SQL queries.
Wonder Lister is working fine for me. However, I want to cross list to Etsy and Wonder Lister can’t do that right now, so I am planning on also using Sixbit to do that.
Wonder Lister is much cheaper than Sixbit, so if you are not planning on using the Etsy cross listing tool with Sixbit, you may want to consider Wonder Lister. If you are planning on doing cross listing to Etsy at some point, then Sixbit would be the tool to get.
Wonder Lister reporting is not all that great, but with access to the SQL database I can create whatever I want. Wonder Lister is suppose to be adding cross listing to Etsy, but they have been so slow to market that Mike and I have lost all hope for that to happen any time soon.
