Zero for me.
I’m still stunned it’s 2023. Every time I see an event or activity for kids, I have to remind myself that mine are young adults.
Somehow, I completely spaced out about posting my numbers for this week. Here goes, nothing to get too excited about.

You can find that in Seller Hub. I think you can have access to it even if you don’t have a store. Check this link:

On the left hand side is a menu. “Unsold” and “Ended” are two that have ended listings. I think Unsold also includes auctions that ended without a sale, although, to me, the two seem to be the same.
Here is the menu:

EndedSteve – Did you adopt a new dog? I saw three in the older of the two videos.
I also sold a small TV set (on commission) for $27.50. This one was in the box, never used.

Also on commission, this historical atlas of congressional districts sold for $169.

I purchased this Japanese tea set in a live auction for $6 several years ago, and it sold for $75. It has a few minor issues, but is in mostly very good condition. I think that the design is sort of weird which might be the bigger reason it took so long to sell. I tried to google the design thinking it might be a folk tale of some sort, but I didn’t come up with anything.
@jasonk – You did is what is usually recommended to combine shipping for a buyer through eBay international. You have to combine everything in one listing. I thought at one time they were working on fixing that, but we haven’t seen it yet.
Like Steve said, eBay is responsible for packages sent internationally through its program once it leaves the hub.
If you want to be helpful for your buyer, you can contact eBay by clicking “Help & contact” at the top of most pages and keep drilling down until you get to a way to contact them. I usually opt to let them call me, or I select chat.
The brand is National, which is fairly common for these hand crank vintage slicers. However, most are fully chrome while mine is partly painted white. This leads me to believe that there aren’t that many around and parting out may not be a great idea. It might be newer than the vintage units I’ve picked up in the past. All it is missing is a separate piece that you push into the meat while slicing to protect your fingers. The buyer will have to purchase that piece separately.
Here’s some of the slicers that have been sold recently:
Here’s the one I picked up:
I’m pretty bored with clothing as well, but it is too easy to obtain and list. I have two body mannequins that make photography a bit easier. As I’ve mentioned before, I will be getting rid of a large amount of clothing later this summer in a MaxSold auction.
Week was quiet for the most part, but I did sell a nice Japanese tea set that I’ve had for a few years.
My parents were in town for a few days, and my mom and I went to a few rummage sales on Sunday for fun. I did buy an old meat slicer for $3, which is the first thing I’ve bought in about half a year. It appears to be newer than some of the chrome ones I’ve sold in the past, so I’m not sure how much I will get. It is also missing the piece that holds the meat in place.

@Amatino – Why am I upset that you are losing your cabin to your husband? I mean, it’s for all the right reasons and all, but, still, to me, it’s a she shed not a man cave. 🤣
@craig-rex – Looks like your scavenge of the week post got messed up in the “edit too fast” glitch.
