The Great Ebay Experiment 9-2-16
Eight months in and plenty of stuff still to go!
We’ll start with what’s sold:
- Harry Potter Luggage Tag (Lootcrate item that is far out of my fandoms)
- Aristocats book and record (Picked this up at a thrift store with several others on sale. I got this for resale actually.)
- Circuitry pencil case (Lootcrate item that I had no use for.)
Slow, but better than last month in terms of volume. Need to get back to listing, that’s for sure.

The Great Ebay Experiment 8-7-16
Seven months in and still drowning in stuff!
We’ll start with what’s sold:
- Vintage Scootles Doll
A bit of slow month. Only sold one doll. That might have something to do with my not listing enough. As in, not listing anything this month. Time to get down to work.

The Great Ebay Experiment 07-03-16
Six months in and still drowning in stuff!
We’ll start with what’s sold:
- Graphic Novel
- Vintage Gerber Baby (rough shape)
- Sewing Pattern
- Cookbook
- Sewing Pattern #2
- 1 PM Figurine
Graphic Novel… I think. It was from Dark Horse and I know I read it and liked it well enough, but not enough that I wanted to keep it to re-read.
Vintage Gerber Baby — oh, this poor baby doll was in sad shape. He had major degradation of the rubber on his left side. (right if you’re looking at him.) But in the right clothes he’ll still be cute and I picked him up in a huge box-lot, which has already paid for itself, so anything that sells now is a bonus. My awesome buyer sent me extra money when she noticed how expensive the shipping turned out to be.
Sewing Pattern — Plus sized, brand new, and highly customizable.
Cookbook — Diabetes cookbook with a very odd address that meant I had to reach out to the customer and go “huh?”
Sewing Pattern #2 — Plus sized, brand new, easy-sew pattern
1 Precious Moments — A little angel ornament. Almost done with these and I cannot wait.
So, the problem with selling stuff, is that now I have to LIST stuff. OY!
Until next month! Happy selling and buying!
