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.

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.

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.

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.

Thoughts: What can I say it was a really lousy week. Unfortunately it will be like this for at least another month. This is the time of year was kids are back in school and families are getting back into a routine and my sales always suffer. It is always like that on Ebay. I just have to remember that the holiday season will more than make up for this lull. Sales dropped up more than $500 this month, but honestly this is due to my big ticket items not selling as well.
Issues: Thank goodness none.

Total This Week: $149.98
Total For 2nd Month: $313.69
Thoughts: The Blues jersey was a big sell, but unfortunately this is the season where I don't tend to sell much. I just have to keep listing and remember that the holiday season is right around the corner and to have items ready for it. Hopefully next week will be better.
Issues: This doesn't happen very often, but there was a buyer who bought a pair of shoes from me for $25.00 and didn't pay for them. I have my setting set up where if a buyer doesn't pay after 7 days from purchasing the item Ebay opens a case against them. I always email my buyers if they haven't paid within 5 days about this and that I can't cancel the order after Ebay opens a case and they will usually pay. This buyer just decided he wasn't going to pay and Ebay stepped in and relisted my item for me.

Wow not a good week at all. I fell well short of my $150.00 a week goal. Unfortunately there will be weeks like this, bit hopefully not too many. The biggest thing I can attribute to this bad week is the fact that I wasn't listing as much. I try to list 5 items a day so I can keep my inventory fresh and have my subscribers keep coming back to my store every day. This week with the start of work and having to clean the house up from all of the dust left by the popcorn ceiling project I just didn't have the time to list.

Issues This Week: Even though my sales were not as much this week, I am really happy with them. I have had very limited access to my house this week because we had some workers scraping all of the popcorn from our ceiling and painting them. This is a messy job and every room had to be taped off with plastic which meant I had trouble gathering any items that I sold. Basically everything you see sold was sold on Sunday night or Friday. There were many times I had to decline good offers because I knew I couldn't get to the items. The good news is that I have access to my house again and can accept those good deals again.

Again it has been a really amazing week. I honestly can't remember the last time I sold two items in a week over $100. Now the real challenge begins because I start work again this week and won't have as much time to list and scour for good deals. Also this week my wife went and showed me exactly what she wanted for her bathroom remodel and I now have a more realistic idea of how much it will cost to redo. I will need about $5000 for the complete remodel and I am hoping this is doable with just my Ebay for a full year. Keep checking it to see how close I am getting.

Issues:
- This week I had to give a refund on a plate that I sold. It happens, but fortunately not very often. The good news is that the plate was under $15 and the buyer was very understanding because as you can see from the picture the post office did a number on the box.
- I had a person place an order with me and than the next day cancelled because he thought the shirt was an XL and not an XXL. Easy fix thankfully.
