Awww Amatino, I’m sorry to hear that you’re still in pain! Hopefully you’ll feel better soon and put this all behind you.
ChristineR: I’ve also listed thimbles individually, and also in lots if I have several in a series like state flowers, or all of one kind like made from wood. I list lots if the individual thimbles aren’t worth much. But like Libby I will list low dollar items, I’ll go as low as $6.00, just to generate sales. I also believe that more sales generate more sales.
Happy Memorial Day!
13 new listings for me.
Wishing everyone a great week!
I am absolutely sure that Libby will be able to pull a rabbit out of a hat and that she’ll keep on keeping on, but time will tell!
The June challenge starts June 1st right? So no go on prepping ahead of time? I’m really tempted to look in my remaining boxes now and pick the least heinous one. The boxes that I have left are unlisted for a reason; there’s some crazy crap in there! I guess I need someone to tell me not to peek ahead of time…
I did list one auction because I thought it might go for more than I figured. It didn’t get bid up but it did sell for my asking price (what I figured it was worth) so I’m fine with that.
Only 10 for me last week, but I changed my weekly listing goal to 10 so I did make my quota. Since I’m not able to source now I’ve decided to slow my listing in order to make my death piles last longer. If things change around sourcing for me I may up my weekly listing goal again, but for now 10 a week works. It was hard for me to let go of the 2020 Challenge but the pandemic has made that lofty goal impossible for me 🙁
Surprisingly EBay sales finished strong for me yesterday, it figures that would happen now that I’m running out of stuff to list 🙂
Little Blue House, I hope there aren’t any more house disasters for you, it’s really hard when troubles all come at once!
Wishing everyone a great week, stay safe out there!
Hi Everyone,
47 new listings for me.
Thank you ChristineR for offering a June challenge, that’s a great idea!
Wishing everyone a great week ahead!
Nobody has offered an idea for the June challenge yet. Any takers out there? Maybe someone could step up who hasn’t offered a monthly challenge yet. I bet there are some great ideas for challenges out there, don’t be shy, people!
39 new listings for me, I’m happy that I met my weekly quota.
Wishing everyone a great week, stay safe!

I believe that one of our forum members who lives in Mexico addressed this issue previously. I think his name is Scott in Merida, Mexico? I’m sorry, I’m not sure about his name or his town name.
I was speculating that one of the reasons I (used to) see a lot of Hispanic people at the Denver Goodwill Outlet was because used clothing can’t be shipped into Mexico, so people were loading up at the Denver bins and personally driving it across the border to sell in Mexico. I can’t remember his response but I do remember he confirmed that in Mexico used clothing couldn’t be shipped in for exactly the reasons Jay stated above.
Amatino, I should only have 4 gold items listed for April. But I like the number you have for me!
Sharyn said she would take May, she was going to do April but traded months with you. Sharyn could you please post the May challenge on Friday morning May 1st? Thank you!
I’m up there with Libby too! I listed 14. Which is my lowest week this year I believe.
Apparently I was so shocked to tie Libby’s listing # last week that there was quite a delay before I came back to my senses enough to list this week – LOL!
Stay strong and safe everyone!
Thanks for the thoughtful response, Utahbill. I am also not spending anywhere near 8 hours a day listing (although I swear it feels like it sometimes – LOL!). I agree with you on analyzing the process to increase listing speed. I also put tape dispensers in 3 places when I realized occasionally I was running down to my basement shipping station to add a little more tape before mailing my items out.
That being said, sometimes I purposely keep things as is for other reasons. I know it would improve my shipping time to have a printer set up in my office by my computer. But I think it’s good to have my shipping station in the basement, my printer on the first floor and my computer on the second floor. That way I get some extra stair climbing in during the day. I have a standing desk but just standing still for so many hours a day probably wouldn’t be great for me health-wise.
Utahbill, now that you’ve retired you’re a force to be reckoned with! The rest of us challengers (except Libby – LOL) better step up our games!
Regarding getting up to 1,000 listings by the end of the year – I wish you luck! I’ve found it really difficult to keep growing my store when sales are good. My goal is 5 or 6 listings a day, but if I sell 10 items in a day I find it nearly impossible to list 15 or 16 items in one day (even though I’m retired). I can do it but I need lots of similar items so I can use sell similar to speed up the process, and it’s not easy to find 15 similar items to list every day. Much of the time I’m struggling to keep my store at the same number of listings – even though I’m actively trying to grow…
