23 new listings for me, I also exceeded my weekly goal of 10. 15 of those listings met the paper challenge.
This terrible weather is great for listing apparently. We’ve experienced high temperatures of zero here in Colorado and lows in the minus numbers. It’s warming up though; I’m going hiking tomorrow, Friday and Saturday this week.
Amatino: the dog tracks making an abrupt u-turn in the snow is a great photo – it kind of says it all!
Wishing everyone a warmer week ahead!
Wow, Libby way to go! Of course I’ve completed that many listings before too – in a month!!!
14 new listings for me, all 14 met the paper challenge.
Wishing everyone a wonderful and productive week.
I’ve already got 7 challenge ideas so I’m posting them now before I forget what they are – lol!
1. Plastic: List anything primarily made of plastic or resin.
2. $49.95 And Up: BIN’s listed for over $49.95 asking price. For auctions if the item sells for $49.95 or more it counts.
3. Needs Work: List items that require extra attention before you can list them, e.g. major cleaning, mending, counting, testing or repair.
4. Multiples: Listings with multiple quantities offered for sale.
5. Colorful: Anything that is extremely bright colored or multi-colored.
6. Seasonal: Anything listed with one of the following seasons in the listing title: Fall/Winter/Spring/Summer.
7. Holiday: Anything that fits the theme of a specific holiday.
Yippee – the Paper Challenge! Paper is my favorite challenge – I’m a heavy sewing pattern lister. Although not big money makers, they are easy to photograph, list, store and ship – I love that!
Amatino, I have a suggestion for a pop up challenge: New ideas for monthly challenges. Points awarded for the most new ideas generated. Then we could all vote on which to implement – or you could just randomly pick one to use each month. (I’m not sure we have enough popular challenges from last year to make it through all of 2021 without some new ideas…)
I had 10 new listings for the week. I’m not claiming a second death pile point because the second bag I emptied wasn’t crammed full. I’m going to consider that some of the stuff from the second bag could have been crammed into the first bag. So now I’m 100% sure that I’ve emptied one crammed full death pile container. Better to err on the side of caution.
Wishing everyone a great week!
12 new listings for me. I’m halfway through another death pile container. Hopefully I’ll be able to report another death pile container cleared out by the end of this week.
Wishing everyone a happy and productive week!
10 new listings for me – I’ve emptied and listed one death pile container. That feels really good; now I only have a bazillion left to work on – LOL!
Wishing everyone a wonderful week!
10 new listings for me. And zero points for the January Challenge, but I’m working on it.
Amatino, please set my listing goal at 10 per week for 2021. Subject to change of course.
Wishing everyone a great week!
10 new listings for me.
Things seem to be looking up, I have 10 items to ship this morning; sales from Saturday afternoon until this morning, same as Julie B. January is usually a good sales month for me but I’m thinking the stimulus checks might be helping my sales.
USPS seems to be moving more smoothly, many of my long delayed packages have finally been delivered – although a few show as still stuck. So far I’ve only refunded one item, which was delivered the day after I refunded it. I’m waiting for cases before I refund on the rest since sometimes it’s just that postal scans are missing rather than the package itself. (I’ve received positive feedback for packages that don’t show scans as delivered – but obviously they were delivered.)
Utahbill – I also have some non-boxed death piles. In my case they are in paper grocery bags. I’m counting each stuffed grocery bag as a box. I would think if you scooped up enough death pile items to fill a box that would count as one box.
Libby – I watched your first YouTube episode, good job! Good for you for organizing the video project and putting it out there – I admire that!
Aww, junque redux, thanks for the kudos for each of us! I’m so grateful for everyone who joined this thread in 2020; more people = more fun. You’ve all been wonderful additions and as always the original crew are the best too. Looking forward to another fun year with you all.
I’m guessing that the December Challenge ended at midnight on December 31st, but that the weekly new listing count (which will count towards our 2020 totals) ends tomorrow at midnight as usual. Amatino, please correct me if I’m wrong.
I second you again VL – kicking 2020 in the keister is far more apropos than kissing it goodbye. Also with you on giving thanks to Amatino for doing the work to keep this section of the forum going. Well done Amatino, thank you for a fun year of eBay listing challenges and inspiration!
Thanks, VL! Since we’ve had no other ideas come in for the January 2021 Challenge I second “Get Rid of One Box From Your Death Pile” as the challenge for January 2021. If anyone has any objections speak up today or forever hold your peace!
The January Challenge starts tomorrow! I’ve never been so happy to kiss a year goodbye as I am for 2020. I’m sure lots of people feel the same. Here’s to a much better 2021! Happy New Year!
Thanks for your update, Libby. I’m subscribed and looking forward to your videos!
Libby, I looked for your YouTube channel under Consignment Chats but didn’t find you… If you could give more info on how to find you that’d be great!
Just 13 new listings for me. None counted towards the December Challenge.
If no one comes up with an idea for a January 2021 Challenge maybe we should have it be whatever the most popular challenge was from 2020. And we’ll know what that was due to Amatino’s brilliant poll!
Thank you Amatino for putting in so much hard work this year to make this subset of the forum so inspiring and fun. Your hard work and dedication are very much appreciated!
Wishing everyone a productive and profitable week and may all your stalled packages be delivered!
