Got the lot, and they were nice. I was doing good, where I was listing 10 on the weekend and selling 7-10 during the week, but I didn't list any last weekend. 
I've got a few bigger buys pending, but I'm waiting on the guys to get the money. Overall though, my sales have been better. How about yours?

Oh yeah, went to the first couple yard sales of the year. They were terrible.

Just a quick update and a little rant. I opened another eBay account and I pretty much auction everything $.99 on there and just let it go. It's done very well since I started it in September. Think I'm up to 55 listings and 45 of them are auction.
The one I hate though is I currently am running one auction that is a bunch of snapback hats. I've gotten probably 15 emails of people saying I'm interested in these five hats only. Will you sell me these five hats? NO!! They are in this so you pay for everything. I want rid of all 23 hats not just five of them! No one has bid on the auction yet, there's I think 27 watchers. All of them that want those five hats. If no one bids on the lot I will start at a dollar and let them start over. I don't want to do the listing again. And I don't want to piss off everyone else who wants to buy them as well. That's kind of the point of running an auction. That everyone gets a chance to buy it and I make more money that way Duh!!

I've ramped up my listings since the beginning of march. With a basic store I get 250 free BIN & have been going over that by 30-40. Have also been running sales on some things that have been listed for quite a while, especially things that I don't have any money in. I had the best 2 days I've ever had April 1 & 2. Sold almost $1500 worth.

Finally got off my rear and listed a couple of items I've been meaning to list. One is a USB fob/transmitter for my son's broken wireless video game headset. I figured someone, somewhere has probably lost this thing (the size of a USB thumb drive) and could use a replacement. Couldn't find any comparable sales on eBay, so I listed it as BIN/OBO for $9 and someone snapped it up right away. In hindsight, wish I had listed it for higher; how many times have we said that before? LOL
The other item is a broken watch, selling it as-is for parts or repair. It's lower-end, but has Swiss movement, so it should sell. Saw a couple of recent sales so I'm hopeful, anyway.

Sales have been slow as hell the last 2 or 3 weeks, both local and ebay. Not sure why, but I listed a bunch of stuff this weekend - hopefully that turns around.

Yep, tax time for the ones that owe. I guess the ones that got a refund blew it already.

I've slowed down as well. I've got a pretty rare jitterbug that I thought would sell super quick, but I've only got one offer--that I should have accepted.

Sales were going really well for me. Unfortunately my father in-law was hospitalized 2 Fridays ago & was sent home with hospice care last Tuesday. Have had a pile of in-laws coming in & out of town ever since. Between that & my Mom's dementia I haven't had enough free time to list anything new. I have managed to free up a hour or so each day to swing by the thrifts. Some good scores I'll post when I have time.

Probably be losing my seller status because I haven't sold 100 items in the last year. Just haven't had time to do much listing. Did put a few items up over the last few weeks. Sold 17 items in the last month. Just little things though that don't require much time or effort to ship.

Went to an auction today and didn't really have high hopes, but it turned out to be a good one. Bought several truck parts and tools. Got some good stuff to use and keep and should make a pretty good chunk on it too.
