Monthly Review-August sales

Hello everyone! Hope you are all having a good day. It is raining off and on here in "Sunny" California!
On a brighter note I had 18 sales this month on Ebay! YEAH! Also 4 sales in my Etsy shop. I have been laggin on that, and haven't been posting new items much!
Here's some items I sold on ebay:
This Hershey's recipe box sold for $14.50, bought for a $1.00.

This Geo Trax set sold for $24.99, paid $10.00 new in box. Probably could have got more during Christmas, but the tags on my truck are due, and ebay fees. GRRRR...both are not pretty prices!

My best sale was probably Barney. Paid $1.50 for him, and someone bought him for my $24.99 buy it now price within 1 day! YEAH!

Have a good day and happy sales!

This week was all about books

I sold a quilting book on ebay for $10.50 and a relationship book for $7.99. The quilting book cost me $1.10. I also bought 6 other quilting books from the thrift store for the same price but none of the others sold. Even if I count the prices of those books I still made a profit. I'll probably just give the others to a friend who quilts. The relationship book cost me $1.60, which leaves a good profit. A lot of 4 Arthur board books sold for $14.00.

I sold this book on etsy for $10.00, and it was only listed for a few days, yeah!

I originally got it from a bag sale from one of the local libraries. Each library differs in price and bag size. Prices range from $2-4 dollars a bag. Some use the plastic bags, like the ones you get from the grocery store, or a brown paper bag. I love going to bag sales, the kids can get some books, and sometimes I find a good book for me or my mom. Libraries will sometimes also have magazines, dvd's, cd's, and vhs tapes you can put in your bag.

Post Office....GRRRRR

Well, here's a little lesson I learned from the Post Office! GGRRR....Monday night I made some labels for some items I sold on etsy and ebay. I put my items out by my mailbox on Tuesday, and guess what, my mailman didn't take the packages! Okay, Mr. Mailman, your so rude, anyways, put them out again Wednesday and yes, Mr. Mailman took them. Thursday the packages are returned to me with a little note saying they couldn't mail the packages because, the label was over a day old. Well guess what Post Office, your employee didn't do his job and take the packages when he was suppose to, so all I could do was remail the packages, meaning paying double postage. After all that I still do end up with a $10.00 profit. Was it worth it? I don't know. I was just going to refund the people their money back but hubby said to just remail the packages. So the lesson is: Don't trust your mailman, and drive the packages to the post office myself!
