Hi All! Just starting out here, so no store yet.
# listed – 15 items (I’m a little slow, trying for steady)
# Sold – 1. (better than none 😉
Total sales – $40 (shipping not inc.)
cogs – under $1 (from one of those “fill a bag for a dollar” church sales) I love those sales! I haven’t done much scavenging in the last year because I need to focus on selling. Fortunately but unfortunately, I have others that like to give me “good” stuff. I’m working on reorganizing my etsy / ebay rooms and processes this month. I think I’ll need about 3. 🙁 I’ve been an off and on etsyier for about 9 years. I have a bunch of items that need to be reviewed and renewed, then many that are in draft mode. I need to get on that this week!
Off to my part-time waitress job (which I love!).
Wishing you all big $ but easy to ship sales this week!
And thanks for all the helpful info you all put out here, I really appreciate it.
🙂 That’s why I fell in love with this forum. I detest waste. Our entire home is furnished with good ole’ useful stuff destined for the landfill. Antique and vintage, imo, is way better made than the new crap sold in a big box store. I buy new mattresses, underwear and sometimes shoes (usually sneakers and workboots) but my kids like tech gadgets. Anything else has probably lived another life.
Example…my fil just dropped of 25+ games from the 60s / 70s that their kids played with…so into the cellar they went.
lol, Jay, I’m old! To begin with, my 89yo f-i-l would help elderly ladies clean out a house when their husbands died and put the crap in the barn. We also bought and fixed a 1950s fixer upper loaded by a hoarder. I’ve donated, filled a few large dumpsters, had tag sales (so not worth the effort) and collected a few things on my own (to sell in my etsy shop). The basement is loaded with kids stuff…bags of cloths, poll pockets, Thomas the train, legos…stuff like that. Potting shed, antique – vintage tools. A quarter of the barn is old electrical supplies (most nib) My husband and fil are/were electrical contractors and lighting/lamps, parts and pieces. My office is etsy hard goods that need to be listed. The old farm stand is tools, more hard goods and otherwise idk haven’t been in there in a while.
I haven’t bought anything in a few years. I don’t need more stuff, just need to list it, donated it or dump it. My goal this year is to get rid of the crap.
Thanks, Winchester38! 🙂 They just paid. Off to pack and ship.
1 down, 9,999 more death pile things to list.
Death pile cellar, 40×60 barn, 10×10 potting shed, 12×15 veggie stand and an office chock full.
This gives me hope.
Thanks again for the quick replies!
