Help! I'm in pie plate hell!

Okay, so I might be a tad dramatic, but seriously the last 24 hours have been crazy! A few days ago I reposted these pie plates that I found at a thrift store a few weeks ago. They caught my eye because they looked kind of cool and each plate has a recipe for a specific kind of pie. I found an apple pie, cheesecake, strawberry and two pumpkin pie plates. They were $2 each and so I bought them hoping I would be able to make a buck or two off of them. That same week I took some really god awful pictures of them and posted them on eBay. All the pictures were dark and sad so needless to say no bids on any of them or even watchers for that matter. The auction ended so I decided to try to take some better pictures of them before I relisted them. Well I don't know if it was because of the better pictures or adding a buy it now option on them, but I started getting a few watchers so I got excited! I sold my first one Sunday night which was so exciting! After my initial excitement wore off, I realized I was going to have to pack it and ship it and that scared me! I have no clue how to pack fragile items so they don't shatter during transit...how the heck was I going to do this? Looking back I didn't even realize when I bought all these pie plates that I would have to pack and ship them all and that it might be challenging. I'm honestly considering staying away from selling fragile stuff which includes my favorite thing to thrift for...Pyrex of course! So Monday morning I wrapped the heck out of this plate with bubble wrap and filled the box with a ton of newspaper and some more bubble wrap. Fingers crossed it makes it to its destination safely! It would really be terrible if it broke because I'm such a newbie seller. So back to my pie plate situation. Last night my cell phone started making that dinging noise it makes when I make a sale on eBay. I got super excited and ran to my phone only to realize that it was a sale for another stupid pie plate! Crap! I didnt want to wrap another one, oh well guess I don't have a choice. Then a minute later my phone dinged again, what the heck? That never happens. It was for another pie plate!!! Holy moly, are you kidding me? Is someone trying to play a mean joke on me? Nope, just a man who bought the cheesecake and a pumpkin pie plate and now I had to figure out how to pack these bad boys. So this morning after I finished volunteering in my daughters classroom I went out hunting for a box that I could ship these plates in. No luck whatsoever! I started to panic and ended up at the ups store looking at boxes. I ended up buying two boxes that would fit the plates perfectly. Ready to hear how much I paid for him? Gasp....$5.35 EACH! I think that is outrageous! I am somewhat a frugal gal and that was just way too much money for cardboard. Oh well, lesson learned. I need to have a good variety of boxes available to me at all time that are preferably free or close to it. So I took my overpriced boxes home and went to work on packing those darn plates. I had a bunch of bubble wrap and newspaper and wrapped both plates so well you could probably drop them off a two story building without a scratch on them (but hopefully USPS won't try that). I dropped them off at the post office and felt good about how I packed them. Fingers crossed they arrive safely! So this afternoon me and my daughter were outside while my son was napping and she was helping me take some pictures of some of the things I need to get listed. Ding ding goes my phone so I get a little excited. I told myself "Please not another pie plate, please!" Well it wasn't another pie plate...it was worse! It was a set of Pyrex Old Orchard casseroles WITH matching lids! Oh dear God I thought to myself! You have got to be kidding me. This is going to be a huge pain in the butt, way worse than the stupid pie plates! I'm actually selling this set for my sister so I called her and she is going to help me pack it tomorrow morning thank goodness. So that wasn't the end of my crazy day. About an hour after selling the Pyrex set someone bought another pie plate! By this point I just rolled into a ball on my bed while both my kids looked at me like I was a nut job. I can't believe I have to go searching for a box to pack this in tomorrow because there is no way I'm spending $5 on another box! Don't get me wrong, I'm super excited about getting this much business but I just wish it wasn't all breakable stuff that I have to pack so carefully. Oh I also sold a baby outfit today which was the highlight of my day to pack. Just slid it in the envelope and ta da! Done! Maybe kids clothes should become my niche because they sure are easy to pack and ship. So as of today I have sold six items so far this week which is way more than my goal of selling one thing a week. I'm super excited about this and hope this continues just not with all the fragile stuff I have listed. Seriously, cut this girl some slack. I still need to go buy more bubble wrap and find some more newspaper to I can pack the Pyrex and the pie plate tomorrow. Boy, I'm exhausted! But it is fun. It's a great feeling when you can make money by doing something fun like thrifting. Well I'm off to bed because I have another busy day ahead of me tomorrow. Nighty night!
