Busy Busy Busy....

So its been over a week since my last post and everyday I was planning on doing it, but then something else got in the way. I have been so busy lately with school, thrifting, appointments, oil changes you name it! Sometimes I wish my life wasn't so busy all the time so I could enjoy sitting around the house instead of stressing about what needs to get done. Oh well, maybe someday. So I sold 9 items last week! I'm pretty happy with that. The beginning of last week was so slow and I was feeling discouraged, but once all my listings got close to ending is when things started to turn around. I had my first "bidding war" on one of my items this week too. Well it wasn't anything crazy, but it was more than one person bidding and the price went from $7.99 to $12.50. I was so excited! This has never happened to me before. All of my items only ever have one bid on them and ALWAYS sell at the starting price so this just about made my day! I ended up selling the Levi's baby denim jacket, an Eddie Bauer long denim skirt, a Carter's girl skirt (my daughter wore it on her first day of Kindergarten and its so cute, kinda sad to see it go), Starbucks mug, U.S. Polo toddler jeans, Baby Gap girl shirt, 3 Vintage Pyrex mugs and this miche bag and shells that I sold for my mom. The miche bags were in great condition because my mom never used them so I listed the bag with four shells and it sold in about 2 hours for Buy it now price for $69.99! I was super excited! It was the first item I had to buy insurance on. I don't know about how some people feel about selling on eBay, but I am loving it! What a great way to make some money working from home. I really hope I can continue to find great finds at thrift stores and sell for a profit. I went thrifting the other day and found a toddler boys hurley shirt new with tags for $4. I also found my very first Pyrex snowflake dish! I about fell on the floor when I spotted it! It is black and marked down for $4.25! I scooped it up and wouldn't let it go. I also found a Butterfly Gold lid for $2.35...Score! Its in great shape too! Ahh, thrifitng is so fun! I wish I could do it more, but then I might be broke haha! I have been printing out all of my labels from home and using my new scale and it has been awesome! Its so easy and I love not having to wait in line at the Post office. My packing slip/business cards that I ordered came in the mail the other day..thank you Vista Print! I love them, they are so cute and so professional looking. Selling on eBay is so much fun!
