Friday Sales Update 6/7-6/13

Hey everyone! I have been super busy the past few days! That's why I'm a little late on posting my  sales update. Friday, I had to take my dog to get groomed, and then that night, I went to a friends and brought home a truck load of stuff. Most I'll be putting in the 127 sale in August, but some things I'll be listing on eBay. I also got a HUGE wire store shelf from him, and a metal portable clothing rack! I was super excited about that.
 Then Saturday! I got up at 6:30 in the morning, got ready, and drove out to the high school to take the ACT.  That ended at 12:30, and my parents surprised me by picking me up and telling me we were going yardsaling! I was totally not prepared for that, but we had a good day. I didn't buy much, because I have probably 200 items on my new wire racks to list, but I did get a few good items.
 When we got to Cookeville, we went to the Goodwill, and met up with my moms sister, her kids, and my grandparents. We shopped around a bit, and I didn't find too much, but I did find an amber glass cake plate worth $32! That was probably my best find yesterday.
After Goodwill shopping, we went to Cici's pizza and met up with the rest of the family, and celebrated Father's Day. It was a good weekend, but I am super sick from all that pizza..

Anyways! On to the sales update!
I did pretty good this week. Lots of good sales!

I sold another ornament! This is a miniature Harley Davidson. It sold for $9.95 + free shipping.

I sold this pair of RYKA Walking shoes for $19.95 +free shipping

I sold this Citizens of Humanity denim skirt for $20 + shipping to Germany. Paid $3 at Goodwill! 

I sold this lot of two McDonald's Flintstones mugs for $14.95 +shipping the day after I listed them! Paid $2.

I sold these Grandco black sandals for $12.95 +free shipping


I sold these cowboy boots that I bought last week for $12.95 +shipping. Paid $1.


I sold this cowboy hat for $19.95 +free shipping. Paid $0.50.

Another ornament! Sold at auction for $35 +free shipping. This ornament paid for it all! Every other ornament I sell will be pure profit! 

I sold this lot of 4 Hardee's mugs for $19.95 +shipping.

I sold this lot of Vera Bradley for $51 +free shipping. Paid $1.

I sold this vintage 1971 Charlie Brown pillow case for $11.14 +shipping. Paid $1 at Goodwill.

Lastly, I sold another pair of the cowboy boots! I'm down to 2 pairs! Sold for $14.95 +shipping. paid $1.
I have had an AWESOME sales week! I hope ya'll have too!

My EBay Storage Room!

Hey everyone! I'm back with a quick post showing ya'll my eBay room! I wish I had some before pictures! I used to set everything in the walk in closet, on a dresser, and on the bed! It was a total disaster when I had to find something to ship! I didn't even have room for all my boxes. They took up most of the basement. As in, I had boxes and bubble wrap laying everywhere. It was a mess. Now, I have everything in my little room and it's all neatly organized! Everything is in this one room except for my to-be-listed items and my computer. The room still needs a little work, like some extra lighting, but I am totally excited to have it cleaned out!

Okay! Here we go! 

Ta-da! If you had seen the mess before, you would be in awe. It is so much neater than it used to be! All of my younger sisters barbies and toys are gone (mostly), and you can actually see the floor for once! 

This is the shelf I keep the boxes I use most often on. Everything is nice and organized, and not piled up in my dark basement cellar! 

Here are my two LARGE metal shelves my uncle let me have! I just LOVE them! My basket of bubble wrap and air bags are in front of the trunk and one of the shelves, and like I said above, MOST of my sisters dolls are gone.. She didn't take these four. It's kindly creepy going in there alone and these things sitting there staring at you... 

My sister also left her troll collection.. I kinda like it though. They add a pop of color to the room. Also, my moms quilt she made in 1991 (I think) of course, featuring trolls! If Mattie would let me sell the trolls, I would be super happy! She has some with the original outfits that are worth some BIG bucks! But that'll never happen. She's part hoarder I'm sure.. 


Here's a close up of some of the items on my shelves. They're getting pretty full already! 

Here's my walk in closet. Filled with clothes as far as the eye can see. Not all are mine on eBay, just maybe half are listed. Most are just in there for storage. 

Lastly, here's my bookcase of books, and well.. Coffee mugs mainly. There's one tiny shelf on the bottom for books. The rest holds my never ending stash of mugs. I just love it. :) 

Moving out of my storage room, we find my listing area! Right here is where I bring my newly found treasures to be photographed and listed! I spend most of my day here listing, answering eBay questions, blogging, and of course reading some other blogs that I love! (listed to the right of your screen).

Here's what  I have left to be listed. Quite a lot considering the amount I listed last week! 

Finally, to close, this is my baby! She sits here with me and sleeps while I'm working. She is such a sweetheart! Her name is Cassie, she's a Long-Haired Toy Chi-Poo. 


Thanks for reading everyone!! I hope you all are having a marvelous sales week like I am! I'll be back tomorrow with a long sales update!
Happy thrifting!

SO much listing! Plus, a quick haul!

Hey everyone! Just a quick post letting ya'll know that I may not be as active on the blog this coming week! I am taking the ACT on Saturday, so I will be studying hard all week and putting eBay to the side. Starting last Monday, 'til yesterday (Friday), I listed a total of 131 items. It was an AWESOME week! I had so many great sales, and I brought home some nice items to list! Here's a few things I picked up. Some have already sold!

I bought this Stanley Limited Edition belt buckle for $1.50

I picked up 5 pairs of boys cowboy boots for $4.50. I paid $1 for these Faded Glory black cowboy boots, and just sold them for $12.50, plus international shipping of $19 to Canada! Brand doesn't always matter! If it's cute, it will sell! 
 Here's another pair of super cute boots. I should've priced them for more.. But they were worn, so I didn't think they would sell so fast! I listed them for $14.95 and got a best offer 20 minutes later for $12.50, so I was happy with that quick flip! I probably could've at least got $25 or more, but I only paid $0.50.  So I'm happy.

 
I bought this Dress Barn Petite cardigan for a QUARTER!! Yes! Only 25 CENTS!! SCORE!

I bought this vintage European style phone for $2. It is a replica, but! Most similar phones were selling for over $100!! I listed mine high, but I will lower it if it doesn't sell.

I found this Starbucks Coffee Ohio travel tumbler for only $0.50!
 Lastly, I bought this Mickey Disney store coffee mug for $1.

This is not even half of the items I bought Thursday! I scored some super great deals!
They're all listed in my eBay store if you'd like to check it out :)
Thanks for reading!

10,000 Free Listings on eBay! Taking advantage!

Hey guys! Quick post! I've been on eBay since around 9 a.m. this morning. I started out my day packaging up a few sales, and then I got an email from eBay... 10,000 FREE fixed priced listings until June 6th! I was super excited since I just bought all those ornaments last weekend and wanted to get them listed! (Read about that haul HERE.) I have been working almost non-stop since I got that email. It's now 6:30 p.m. and I've photographed all of my ornaments, some clothing, and some pillowcases. I've listed 40 items today and  I'm hoping to get the rest of it on eBay before the deadline. I think I'm going to call it quits for today though. I am EXHAUSTED! Who ever said working from home on eBay was easy? No one I would think! But it's definitely worth it.
Here's what I have left to list!


Maybe 100 items or so counting the ornaments.. At this rate I should definitely be done by Friday!

I hope you all are having an awesome week, and hopefully some of you got the 10K free listings!
If you would like to see some of the ornaments and what all I've listed today, check out my store!

5/31 Columbia, KY Auction Haul

Hey guys! I'm back from a long day at the auction! We left home at 8 a.m. and didn't get back til 4 p.m.! It was a SUPER hot day. 94 degrees! We all came home sun burnt, and guess what I bought? NOTHING! Unbelievable right? They mainly had tools and farm equipment. They only had one table of household products, which of course they sold last, and most of the boxes were junk. Lucky me though, there was a yard sale right across the road.. I racked up. I bought 55 Hallmark ornaments for $35. A little more than I wanted to spend, but I knew if I got a buck a piece I'd make money. So I hauled those home. Here's a pic of what I got!


A huge tote full of ornaments.. It will take FOREVER to list all of these! But, I'm glad I picked them up. When I got home, me and my boyfriend started looking them up on eBay in the completed listings. I have around $600 worth of ornaments (if they sell). The most expensive ornament was around $75-$100!!
I also got a pair of black Justin boots for $1, 2 piece of Cash Family pottery for $4, a microwave plate for $0.50, and a scrabble game (for the tiles) for $1. I'm pretty happy even though I didn't get anything at the auction.

That's all for this haul post. I hope ya'll are having a great weekend!
Thanks for reading!
Also! Be sure to check out my store! All coffee mugs are buy one get one half off!!

EBay New 3 Month Automatic Relisting Feature

  Hey guys! So I've been doing ALOT of research lately about this new automatic relisting feature, and I think I have it figured out. Every time I list an item, on the last page it always has a PRE CHECKED box that says "Automatically relist your item up to 3 times for FREE". I was VERY skeptical about using this. I don't pay insertion fees, I just use my monthly free 150 listings. So I was afraid that this feature would take my free listings every month and then charge me $0.30 per listing that goes over the 150.
  After much research I've discovered that it does not use ANY additional free insertions after the initial insertion fee, (which is free if you haven't used yours up yet) or charge insertion fees. So potentially, I can list 150 items for FREE, and they will be listed on eBay for a total of 4 months (initial month listed, plus 3 more months free) without using any more of my free listings each month or charging me. I've been testing this out, and every time one of my items relist, it doesn't use a free listing or charge me! Yay! So this means I can list 150 the first month for free, then next month those 150 (if none sold) will relist without using any of the new free listings, giving me an additional 150 free listings to use for a total of 300 listings.. So by the fourth month, when the first set of listings relist for the final time, I will have a total of 600 items listed for FREE!
  I guess eBay is wanting to push people to list more. Let me know your opinion on this new feature, and your experience! Thanks for reading!
