I can always tell when a new pricer is working at the local Goodwills. They are convinced everything is made of gold and the prices go through the roof on even the junkiest of junk. A couple weeks later the prices go back to normal.
I have 3 of these bad boys mounted over my photography area:
I bought a big lot of stuff locally on facebook marketplace from a photographer who got out of the business. It also came with a boatload of the big photography CFL lamps.
I bought 5/8 dowel rod and made my own wall mount rods to mount the lights.
You could use the 100w daylight LED’s from Walmart with those and have plenty of light in your photo area.
I have 30 day returns on my items. This is new. Every other return the date ebay says they have to ship the item back has been 5 business days. Doesn’t matter if the item is a standard return or INAD, the buyer has always had 5 business days to ship. This item gives them 14 days. They’ve changed their policy but I see no announcements for this change.
Or don’t plan on going to a thrift store but get an overwhelming sensation that a special treasure is waiting there for you so you just have to stop. This is how I’ve found several $200+ items, so I trust this one.

New Listings 27Ughh…terrible week! I did get back into listing though, so that’s a positive.
The last few weeks we’ve been building a big pile of junk for our oldest kid to have a yard sale. This is stuff that I wouldn’t even consider selling on ebay – just wanted it gone.
She woke up early to set up, and ran the sale all by herself. She is a pretty good negotiator! She made herself $53 on stuff we were just going to take to the goodwill or toss in the trash anyways. It felt so good to take an overflowing truckload of stuff to donate.Did not do much scavenging, but I did stop by one yard sale on the way to the post office Saturday and bought a Vitamix with accessories for $60. It is a hard to find color and I have it listed for $250. Once upon a time I would have kept this for myself, but my nutrininja gets the job done just fine.
Wow that’s an awesome change! Has it been easy to maintain?
For success, some people are moderators and some are abstainers. I know I am an abstainer. There are just so many things I simply won’t ever partake in again. I gave up sweetened drinks 2.5 years ago and never went back even after gaining back a bunch of weight. I’ve added a bunch more things to that list now, and because I never caved on those sweetened drinks I know I can do it permanently.
Moderation simply doesn’t work for me.
Definitely alot of cool stuff.
It’s still sitting because $6500 is way too much.To be honest, paying $2-3k would be very generous.
Well all I can tell you is that at some point you WILL come across something you need to do on ebay that simply CANNOT be done on a tablet and requires a desktop. It happened enough that I abandoned using the ipad for ebay.
You aren’t the first person to want to run the whole business off a tablet.
I found that an ipad just didn’t do as good of a job as a laptop. The mobile app is lacking and using the main ebay website on the tablet seemed considerably slower than a desktop/laptop.
You could always look at the windows 10 hybrids. We just got one here at work and it is pretty slick.
I get the feeling that about a year from now alot of these issues will “magically” resolve. Things have a way of doing that around August/September of an incumbent election year.
I was pretty shocked to hear you all signed a 6 month contract.
Is this a travelling gig or work from home?I fully agree with Jay. Do not engage. She had PLENTY of time to address any issues she may have had.

New Listings 0Summer Goal: Under weekly goal by $183.00. Off cumulative pace by $969.00
Where did the week go? My oldest son turned 9 on Friday, so a lot of time this week was spent on preparations for his birthday. Another week of no listing due to still working on a massive overhaul of my ebay space. The good news is that I am 80% finished with my overhaul and am back to listing/photographing as of last night. It is so nice to have so much free space out there now!
No major scavenging this week. Yard sales were kind of disappointing Saturday.
In other news I’m down 50 lbs. Yay me! I am committed to a plan that by this time next year I will no longer be an obese person. I am super excited! I’ve spent alot of time that I would be doing ebay instead doing research on health and fitness. I’m also cooking almost all our meals from scratch each day. Not a diet, but a cumulation of several years of lessons learned and knowledge gathering that has resulted in a clear plan of action and a permanent lifestyle change.
