Busy, Busy!

I've had a busy few days since I last posted! I've had 17 sales in 4 days!! I think that might be a record for me! I have really been trying to list lots. I've taken tons of pictures and almost need to take a ton more!
 
Here's what I've done since Friday:
 
Friday - listed 3 items totaling $21.95
              sold 5 items totaling $102.90
 
Saturday - listed 2 items totaling $9.75 (buttons)
                 sold 3 items totaling $28.00
 
Sunday - listed 3 items totaling $75.40
               sold 6 items totaling $102.60
 
Monday - listed 7 items totaling $121.85
                sold 2 items totaling $30.90
 
Today I listed $97.40 and have only sold one thing for $25.95 (so far)
 
I have listed $855.40 worth of stuff so far this month so for 10 days that's an average of $85.54/day so not too far off from my $100/day goal! I'll have to try harder though! Here's what sold:

My total profits on the old magazines is up to $617.82!!! I bought about 300 old magazines in May of 2014 and paid $36.00. I've sold 89 magazines so far so that figures out at a profit of $6.94 each which doesn't seem like a lot but it does add up! Still have lots of magazines listed and lots to list too!

  2. Great sales! I love the refrigerator dishes! I have a thing about cool containers so I would have been tempted to keep those.

    1. Deana, I have been tempted to keep so many things I've found but the temptation and need of money always wins out! :) ~~Pam

  4. Wow you are on a roll! That is terrific. I have been so lazy about listing lately, it's the picture part that I procrastinate with. I need to learn a lesson form your success & get busy!

    1. Well, we'll see how long this "roll" lasts...lol. I am definitely a procrastinator but I've really been trying to push myself because we need to have more income! I'm not crazy about taking pictures either! ~~Pam

  5. Great job Pam. Keep on listing!! You are the Blue Ball Jar Queen for sure. I see them at estate sales, etc. But the asking price is full retail. No money to be made in reselling. I like your strategy of putting out an ad. Glad to see those magazines are still selling. Very nice score!
