Top Sells of the week

Over the past few months I've decided to try selling on eBay.  I started out with a few things around the house that I'd been wanting to get rid of, just to get the feel for it.  When my New in the Box collectible Cookie Monster sold for over $50, I was hooked!  It's fun to pick up bargains and turn them into a few bucks.  For me, clothes are the easiest thing to list and ship, so I've started hitting the thrift stores and yard sales looking for items to turn into cash. 

A while back, my sister turned me on to the blog My Dear Trash and I love it!  I've gotten so many tips from these ladies on selling, buying, pricing, packaging, and on, and on!  I love to check out their "Top Sells of the Week" posts so I thought I'd do one of my own.  Now, these ladies have been at this much longer than I have and list MANY more items than I do so they have a much better chance of a "big sell".  Out of about 35 items I had listed last week, I had 5 to sell.  Since I'm only making $5 - $10 on each item, this is far from a Goldmine for me.  But, like I said, it's fun to see what you can do.  And the fact that I'm bringing in a little extra cash to our one income household doesn't hurt either.

I had two items that made me very happy last week.  The first was this Liz Claiborne 100% Silk Blouse.  I purchased it for a whopping 50 cents.  It sold for $9.99.  Isn't it cute?  If it had been my size, it would have been a keeper. 

 The other item was this Ralph Lauren Black Houndstooth Men's shirt.  Again, I picked it up for 50 cents and resold it for $9.99.

I have no idea if I'll have the patience or "Stick-to-it-ness" to make this a long term venture but it sure is fun for now!
