Week 16: (10/27-11/2)

What I Sold:

Total:  $50.98

Total for 4th Month:  $499.57

Total After 4 Months:  $1784.30

Thoughts:  I'm not real disappointed this week because I actually got quite a few offers on some of my higher priced items, but they just weren't good enough.  At least I know my items are getting some interest and they will probably be sold by the holiday season.  Right now after 4 months I'm feeling pretty good about the progress.  Previous experience tells me that this number will look much better after the holiday season.

Issues:  None

Total This Week:  $35.49

Total For 4th Month:  $302.46

Thoughts:  A big drop off this week, but I was getting quite a few offers on my items.  The offers just weren't good enough and the buyers just didn't want to budge.  They have a bottom line and so do I.  I have a feeling that next week is going to be really good.

Issues:  None

Week 13: (10/6-10/12)

What I Sold
Vintage Stetson Cowboy Hat                                                         $150.00

Rare Viagra Clipboard                                                                   $22.99

Total This Week:  $266.97

Total For 4th Month:  $266.97

Thoughts:  Finally sales picked up, but more importantly some of the bigger ticket items are finally selling.  I have to give credit to my wife on the cowboy hat find and she found it for $12.00.  Great buy by her.  The Royals jacket was interesting also because I could find nothing else like it.  I figured I would list it for $100 and see what happens, and when I was offered $82.99 I jumped at it.  Another great find for $2.  Also a friend gave me the Viagra clipboard because she was embarrassed to put it in her yard sale and I will gladly pick that up and sell it for $22.99.  Now I am just hoping the momentum continues.

Issues:  None

Total This Week:  $16.99

Thoughts:  I am completely embarrassed by this month's sales.  I am just going to leave it at that.

Week 11: (9/22-9/28)

Total This Week:  $57.51

Total For 3rd Month:  $84.50

Thoughts:  Not a real bad week considering the previous 2 weeks.  I more than doubled my previous 2 weeks sales which is a good thing.  It is always fun to sell my Boy Scout patches and seeing where they go too.  I usually get a message from the buyer telling me a story about why they are so happy they found the patch.  I'm hoping to get a story from this buyer also.

Issues:  None

Week 10: (9/15-9/21)

What I Sold
Women's Reebok Athletic Shirt                                                         $5.99

Total This Week:  $5.99

Total For 3rd Month:  $26.99

Thoughts:  New week, same story.  I just can't find any real good items to list lately.  The place that I usually buy my higher priced items is currently being remodeled.  This really hurts my sales because this is the place I usually find my unusual and higher priced items.  Hopefully it gets remodeled quickly, but after talking to the owner he said it might take a month.  I just keep remembering that the holiday season is coming. 

Issues:  None, but with $5.99 in sales I shouldn't have any.
