We are officially one week into the new month, and hopefully you have started adding to your eBay sales that ‘reverted’ to zero on May 1st! I’ve been thinking a whole lot recently regarding selling on eBay, my warehouse crammed full of stuff and the hamster wheel that goes round and round and round…It’s like chasing a money carrot. You find it, you sell it, it’s gone… and then you start the whole process again and again and again. → Read More
Well, the burning question of the day seems to be: “Where is the Pieces Scrabble Kit?” Unfortunately, I think a BETTER question at the moment is: “Where’s Deb?” The short answer is … I was going along just fine, and then … I fell in a hole! Since I’ve ALWAYS been honest and upfront about my life and me in general, I’m going to ‘come clean’ AGAIN…. → Read More
Have you ever started a project that was going to be fast, simple and cheap… Only for it to grow its own legs, suddenly get up and start running (after you!)??? → Read More
Today I’m going to teach you how to get sucked into the bowels of “pack-rat-itis”, or more correctly “How to become a true hoarder”! You all KNOW that I usually practice what I preach, but alas, in this story I did NOT and sadly, it doesn’t have a happy ending. It is my HOPE that after reading this you will not make the same mistake Christmas morning when you gleefully rip into all the wonderful goodies that Santa left for you… → Read More
What’s got me all charged up? Career Day! If you are not privy to what Career Day is all about, it is a day when Mommies & Daddies go into the school and make a short 15 minute presentation about what they do to earn an income. → Read More
I spend a LOT of time trolling the eBay “Help” pages that list, in THEIR language the EXACT policies and guidelines for those sticky little details that seem to get everyone worked up and crying foul. As long as you follow eBay’s polices WORD FOR WORD, it is very, very easy to come out ahead of your competition AND you can take eBay’s “restrictions” & actually USE THEM to your advantage! → Read More
What do these terms mean & WHY should you care? With the growing “Green” movement, the current state of the economy and for the overall good of our planet, people are moving more and more towards using natural items and what many people consider “trash” as crafting components; “repurposed rubbage” is becoming the new vogue way to create. → Read More
I have a seven-year old daughter. She likes little things, stuff, knickknacks, found items… she likes to sort, she likes to use things for purposes other than what they were originally designed for.. she is a pack rat AND a walking disaster! I am looking to clean out the playroom… and I would LOVE to SELL some of this stuff! As I am picking up and “sorting” the loose items that are STREWN everywhere I realize that there is NOT ONE THING I have managed to find in my recovery efforts that I could sell on eBay… or could I → Read More
I’ve been away from a world that most normal people live in for almost two months now — MY world involves foggy thinking, blurry eyesight and a completely irrational fear of the washing machine, the dishwasher and WordPress blogs. → Read More
What do you get when you combine an eBay junkie, too much stuff and a neat FREE WordPress Plug-In? A Mystery Box Auction, that’s what!!! I have a warehouse FULL of goodies… BIG goodies, little goodies… tiny goodies… Goodies worth $5 and goodies worth $30 or more…. My PROBLEM is that I have TOO many goodies and NO time to list, pack, and sell the goodies properly. → Read More
As you all are aware, I have a TON of china, porcelain, pottery, ceramic, tiles… Basically if you can eat off of it, serve on it, place it on a shelf and enjoy it, cook in it or save leftovers in it… I GOT it! Unfortunately, I’ve ALSO got a TON of “rejected” items that Replacements just won’t buy… EVER! Some of this is REALLY nice… old, quality, sought after… plates they are PAYING $10, $15, $25, even $40 EACH… but not to me… → Read More
Okay, okay! I fell off the wagon! I let a little thing called LIFE get in the way of my progress… well kinda. Even though I haven’t been blogging (much), I HAVE still been working my way … slowly… through the warehouse. I HAVE removed stuff on a weekly basis, I just haven’t TOLD anyone about it! From books to fast food premiums to crystal stemware to cake pans to an old ratty book… things have trickled out to those “in need.” → Read More
