Sold 63 this month. Going to a music festival this weekend so will probably put my store on vacation. I'll be in & out of the house just don't want to fool with packing/shipping. I've got about a half dozen drafts ready to go on Sunday & will get a few more ready this afternoon & Thursday.

Sold one this weekend...
So...I bought a boat off eBay over the weekend as well. I think I'm going to part it out on eBay and craigslist...I think I'll start a thread for it...

Had the store on vacation until Sunday afternoon but have sold 2 since then. Listed 19 auctions today. Needed to get some listings going to make up for the slow start.

Good for you Dram, I saw the other night when you posted it. I figured you'd been out there playing with it, until past dark, lol.

I'm relisting and restocking my store with the expired stuffs.

Anyone notice yet, Ebay is raising prices?

I heard but haven't looked into it fully. Pretty sure monthly store fees are going up. I heard $4/month on a basic store & they were increasing free BIN listings to 250 from 200 & free auctions (in certain categories) from 100 to 250. I've also heard that you will get a $25 credit every quarter that you can use to buy shipping supplies from eBay vendors. Haven't read the actual info on eBay so all of that could be wrong.

I haven't heard anything myself...but it doesn't surprise me. eBay never seems to leave a policy in place long...well except the buyer is always right!

Sold a wire harness today (84.99) and listed I think three while laying in bed last night not able to sleep. It pays to have taken pictures already!

I've known for a while that having a store lets you use a tool called markdown manager to create a sale of some or all of your store items. I started my 1st sale last night for all the books I've got listed. The sale is 10% off & will run until Sunday evening. Sold 4 books last night after the sale started. I had 147 books listed and would be satisfied if 12 or more sold during the sale.

Please report on Sunday evening how much the sale helped you. It'll be interesting to see...

I just listed this...

I listed 11 yesterday. I refuse too fall below 100.
I put my entire store on sale. I found that tool, and I made a sale, save $100 for every hundred you spend. Maybe someone who was going to get something for 80 will add more stuff ... So far, nothing.

Wow, how much does the General Lee model bring?

I've got it listed at $154.99
I searched sold listings and that price is supported. As far as general Lee model I have some reproductions...however I doubt they bring as much because they're more common...but that's just a guess. I already have s watcher on it.

Things have been slow this month but the weekend made up for it. I sold 17 items between Saturday afternoon and lunch today. My book sale didn't go as well as I had hoped. I only sold 6 books. I started out with 350+ of the Folio Society books and sold around 200 of them between mid-January and April 7th. I figure the ones that sold were the more popular ones & that it might take quite a while to sell what's left. I'd like to see them gone by the end of the year but won't complain if they are still sitting on the shelf because I've almost tripled my investment.
