Still selling like a mad woman

Well, I'm still selling but maybe not like a mad woman.

Cuz selling things makes me happy, not mad.

We sold the black futon/couch thing that was purchased from a student who was moving.

We paid $35 and we sold it for $60.

I grabbed this cute little wood coffee table down at Goodwill for $7.

The front legs were pretty scratched up so I priced it at $20.

I sold it a couple of days after posting it on Craigslist.

We also sold Josh's loft bed for $100 (had previously bought it at GW for $25) and a set of bunk beds that we were no longer using.

As for ebay, I sold about 100 items this month and it just keeps getting better and better.

Maybe because I am figuring out what I am doing?

Here are some highlights...

This beautiful yellow silk JCrew dress was purchased at GW for $6.

It was a formal style, which doesn't resell well, but JCrew is a pretty hot brand so I thought I would take a chance.

It sold for $29.99 which is what I listed it at.

I bought this cute girl's Gap denim skirt for $2.

I was going to give it to my 10 year old daughter for school but she didn't want it.

Apparently she had trouble walking in the long skirts.

So, I took it and listed it on ebay.

It sold for $20.51.

Chicos is another great brand which resells really well.

These black stretch Travelers style pants were purchased for $2.50.

They sold for $21.47.

I wasn't sure if these Prana cargo pants in a size small would do very well but since they were only $2.50, I thought I'd try it.

They surprised me when they sold for $11.51.

But my biggest surprise of the month was this fish embroidered, Quacker Factory denim jumper dress.

I almost didn't buy it, even though it was only $3.

It was brand new with the button covers and a pin hanging on the front in bubble wrap and it was a plus size which is a plus (hee...hee...get it? Plus size being a plus. Ok, not funny? Guess you had to be there?)

Maybe because it wasn't something I would wear or because I didn't feel like it was exactly trendy but I hummed and hawed for awhile before putting it in my cart.

Even though I usually don't start my dresses under $10, I was concerned about this one so I started the listing at $7.

I had barely got it listed when it got it's first bid.

Color me shocked.

Color me very shocked when it sold, with multiple bids, for $28.

Wow.

Crazy.

But I love it!

Anyway, my selling will have to slow down for awhile as canning season is in full swing.

Guess I should slow down on the buying as well right now.

But that is the fun part so we will see...

Happy Selling!
