Monday's Madness

It's always hard to think of a title for my posts but Monday was busy...especially Monday night! I s'pose everyone was finished with all their picnics and parties and started shopping online! I had a few orders to get ready that kept me up late last night!
 
I just love these cute old word cards. They just don't make 'em like this anymore!
 
Vintage Picture Word Cards
Paid $1.00 - Sold for $6.95 - Profit $5.59
 
I have a few sets of wooden spools available. Sold this one yesterday.
 
31 Vintage Wooden Spools
Paid 50 cents - Sold for $7.95 - Profit $7.24
 
My jar sales have been really slow lately. Of course I really don't have very many more left! I wish I could find some! I don't have any of the quart size that sell the best. A lady from Mexico ordered these 14 jars so that was a nice little chunk of money!
 

14 Blue Ball Pint Jars
Paid $14.00 - Sold for $104.95 - Profit $78.19
 
When I was almost done packing up the 14 pint jars I got this order of 2 half gallon jars and 2 table runners! So I figured I might as well get it ready too!

2 Blue Ball Half Gallon Jars
Paid $2.00 - Sold for $22.00
 
Vintage Embroidered Table Runner
Paid 50 cents - Sold for $5.00
 
Vintage Embroidered Table Runner
Paid 50 cents - Sold for $5.00
Profit on this order of 2 jars and 2 table runners was $26.11
 
These are my eBay sales for yesterday:

2 Tupperware Containers
Paid $2.00 - Sold for $12.00 - Profit $5.30
(lost money on shipping this item)
 
Sold another magazine! That brings my total magazines sold so far to 28 and the profit to $196.51!!
 

Vintage Magazine
Paid 12 cents - Sold for $9.50 - Profit $7.82
 
Well, that's about it! I need to get more pictures taken today so I can list more. I really want to get my store built up. I need to list 41 more things in the next few days to make my goal...I just might make it! Thanks for stopping by! ~~Pam

  1. I'm inspired! You always seem to go with the flow, no matter what you're selling. I'm still trying to figure things out, ebay wise, and work a (almost) full time job.
    You'll make your quota; list, list, list!

    1. Wow....trying to sell on eBay and working full time....you must be very busy! I'm just trying to sell whatever I can to help us make some money so I just try to keep on the lookout for anything that I think will sell! ~~Pam

  2. Hi!

    Are the magazines a part of a set that you bought, just wondering how you're keeping tally of them. Great finds and those alphabet cards would look nice framed and or painted on before framed.

    1. Hi Tami,

      I just bought over 300 old magazines at a sale a couple of weeks ago. Just trying to list them by their title. Writing them down and what profit I made so I can see what I've made on them! ~~Pam

  5. I love those word cards and the half gallon jars. I probably couldn't sell them because I would want to keep them. LOL!

    1. I know! I sometimes wish I could keep some of the things I sell but we really don't have the room and we really need the money! ~~Pam
