Total area of the image measures approximately 26.4″ x 18.3″
Entire piece, including frame, measures approximately 37.5″ x 28.5″
The frame is also very heavy. so it’ll definitely reduce the weight significantly if I remove it.
So, the “message” where they asked to have it removed from the frame was part of the offer notes. Once the offer is accepted, is it still possible to see the offer notes? I don’t think I’ve ever accessed those after a listing was over. Perhaps I should send some clarification in a separate follow-up email so the request is well documented?Oh dear, no! I think you misread that. Between the ages of 21 and 10. 10 is my youngest! My oldest 2 are college age, so the nitty gritty of day to day homeschooling has eased up quite a bit.
So…what have I used my profits for? Buying more inventory, of course. And, I’ve helped pay for last year’s vacation to Colorado, senior photos for my son, ACT tutoring, career testing (very expensive, but worth it) for my 2 oldest, a new dishwasher, a new washing machine, Christmas gifts, restaurant meals with the family, and other enrichment activities like plays, museums, etc…Oh, and I bought a Macbook last year.
Also, we purchased a rental property in College Station for any of our boys who attend. Our 2nd son currently has 3 roommates whose rent payments cover all expenses associated with the house. My husband’s income covered the downpayment, etc… but I used eBay profits to outfit the kitchen, buy appliances (fridge, washer, dryer), my son’s bedroom furniture, and living room furniture. Of course, I got great deals on everything, as I bought most of it from craigslist.
Profits are increasing because I have fewer business expenses as compared to my first year. Initially, I bought lots of bins, shelving, lighting, and random seller’s tools (for rehabbing shoes, cleaning items, etc…) I’m sure I’m missing some big things I’ve purchased, but having been a single income family for most of the last 23 years of marriage, it’s been nice to breathe a little and have additional funds for things not normally in the budget.
I buy 8x5x4 boxes on eBay (50 at a time), and these fit perfectly in a PFRE. I use them for small breakables all the time.
