# items listed: 2This weeks totals were about average for me.I was a little disappointed in my ASP, but that happens from time to time. I was out of town for most of the week for my day job. This impacted my new listing goal. I will do better this week.

I agree.
“Just Say No” to free returns.
Welcome aboard. A few years ago I was in your neighborhood and visited White Sands National Monument. What a gorgeous place.

I could happily have resupplied and headed out again when we were done. The first few days are the toughest, especially at elevation. I think a lot of it is getting acclimatized to the elevation.
One of my life goals is to hike the AT.

# items listed: 5Last week seemed slow, but it was really an average week. Since, I started posting my numbers I have noticed that my sell through and average price are quite similar from week to week, unless I have a high priced item sell, which skews the numbers. This tells me all I have to do to increase my income is increase my total number of listings. Easier said than done for me. Last week I took a 4 day trip to Monument Valley with my daughter, and this week I have to go out of town to a four day conference for my day job. This all cuts into my listing time. The trip with my daughter was well worth it. The day job conference, not so much.

I like the phrase they had on coffee mugs: “Buy Low, Sell High, and Fight the Man”
Yes, I love the mileage deduction. I drop items off at my post office every day on my way to my day job.
This makes my daily commute tax deductible. 🙂Week of February 4-10

# items listed: 8Last week was an average week for my small store. My best sale was a $50 jacket. Unfortunately it doesn’t look like the buyer will pay. Still need to list more, but I am happy that I am getting sales.
