Not too good DieselRam. I sold one lot of that kind of stuff when scrap was high. Maybe if the price will go back up it will sell.

You may be on to something. :laughing7:

I've got to sell more than this or I am going to close my store and go back to basic.

It sucks to have to close the store. Are your sales down because fishing is slowing down? I guess I won't bother selling any of those scrap power adapters. I am going to list some of my Dukes of Hazard collection Friday night and see how it goes. I need some more exciting inventory as well.

I don't know DieselRam. I normally sell good year round on them. My dad is parting out a truck and he put 15 new listings up or something like that, and can't hardly sell anything either.

That's interesting. Truck parts always sell good.

Hovering around 500 listings now... debating on if I should get the premium store (500 free listings vs 150 (well 200 not for the holiday rush).
Sold 10 things friday, 24 things over the weekend, and another 10 yesterday. Up to 2 so far today.
Busy busy! Not a bad thing though!

I'm glad to hear that you are doing well. Keep it up. :thumbsup:

If you have 500 listings now it would probably make sense to go with the premium store.

Yeah, I would, and then if possible, look to going to 1000 listings or so eventually. :headbang:

Sold 46 items this month. Waiting on payment from one that sold yesterday. Overall a pretty good month for me.

I did not do good at all last month. I've got a lot of new inventory, so I'm hoping that I'll do a lot better this month. Did you list the dukes of hazard stuff DieselRam?

I could get to 500 listings within a couple months IF I had the inventory. Anything I can do "sell similar" I can list in 10 minutes or less including time for taking pictures. Most other things top out at 25 minutes max. It wouldn't be any problem to list 80-100 items a week. Pretty sure JustinNH is doing mostly clothes. Seems like those listings could go even faster with a good system.

I started loading up my wife's site. With lower feedback she seems to get some decent offers. 186 on my site, 28 on hers. A couple sold last night.

500! I would loose stuff I think! Congratulations on that!

Now that I have a little time off, I started listing some items again yesterday and today. Sold 5 already in 24 hours and have 23 listed with bids on a couple of the auction listings. I'll do some more tomorrow. Picture taking is a time consuming pita and I don't mean bread.

It's hard to stay motivated. I have no sales and very few people looking at my auctions. One of them, I did a search, and it didn't come up. I called Ebay, and eventually she was able to get it to come up for her. So nice to listen to someone just read from a script ... Ebay doesn't guarantee a sale, can't force buyers to buy ... DUH! I know that. Make my listings more visible. I'm starting to think those conspiracy theories of beta testing and not showing up and controlling how much you actually sell may have some basis to them.
Unhappy and consuming too much chocolate.

Hmm. Complaining works again.
3 sales, 2 people called to come over to look at jewelry.

Umm, I am really slacking! No I didn't list it yet. I know I suck! Lol! I got caught up with other things again ( like prepping for the coming ice age...er I mean winter!) I will try to get at least one item listed tonight though.

Has anyone successfully sold Pokemon cards? My son wants to list his 468 of them. I said it is going to be done as ONE lot! Lol

Excellent! Do you also sell on craigslist?
