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
