Listing Motivation - Get Cracking!

Today I was in the listing mood. My friend Melissa invited the boys over for a playdate with her girls so the house was quiet. I added nearly 40 items to the store. Within a few hours I sold five things. It helps motivate me to list when things are going well.
I finally listed the last of the Kelly's Kids items. Right away I received two best offers for $7 each. Considering that I have long ago recouped my investment - and these are the lesser value items - I was happy. That is $5.49 profit each after fees for each. It took me 3 minutes to list both, and 2 minutes to pack them. $10.98 for 5 minutes of work....Link & Link  This one sold for $9.99 a little later. Link. I still have 20 or so left in the eBay store. I would love to buy another stash of those!
 
This sold at the BIN price, even though I had the 'best offer' option in the listing:
This pretty covered sugar bowl was a $1 thrift store find, & it sold for $16.99. Link
 
Wilton Snoopy Cake Pan sold for $25.00, Link
How about you? Find anything interesting to sell lately?

It's Hot as Blue Blazes...Time To List Coats :)

The above phrase only makes sense if you sell on eBay. You list coats in August and bikinis in February. I have no idea why coats sell when it is hot. It was 106 here this week, so I drug out the cold weather items I picked up in the Spring when the thrift stores started marking them down. If you have any outgrown ski pants, coats, or winter boots it is time to list them. They are getting a lot of hits, and I have sold two. Considering I paid $1.50 for each I am pleased with the totals. Click on the title to see the listing.

Woolrich wool shirt sold for $30

Kids bib overalls sold for $13.99

Vintage Aprons Are Fun To Collect


These charming vintage aprons were in that estate sale closet I wrote about earlier. I love to look at them. They make me think of grandmothers, homemade jelly, and simple living. While I was musing about the good old days my oldest son said "Cool - old capes!" and promptly tied one around his neck and  pretended to fly across the living room. 
 
I guess the good old days for them will be remembering dial-up internet & DVD's.
