Lost Mojo. Anyone seen it?

 It's been a month since I have posted anything. I think I have a pretty good December. Not as good as November and absolutely better than this month! Horrors!

I sourced some good stuff that has not really sold yet. the Marx train set. I got an offer but I would have lost money. I got an offer on the GI Joe clothes and locker but I would have lost money also. Tells me I paid too much for both.

The Barbie's so far are a bust too. The Marilyn I have up for $115. The 35th Anniversary I put up for $36 (I think) and the Wedding Barbie I have up for probably 36$

I'm not really discouraged. I just had a slow down around Christmas in listing and just dragged my heels for while and now I am into it again. I bought 20 Belt Buckles for 90$ 4.50/per. Haven't sold any yet, but I am certain I will. They saved the really good stuff for this weeks auction which goes off tonight. Smith and Wesson buckles and some extraordinary coffee cups, that if I should win, I know I can flip those.

Put her up today. I have a lot of pictures to take today and not a lot of time. I have lollygagged around this morning and now its after 2. 

I think it's important for me to document these endeavors to make some side money. Number one, its good for me to be engaged. I use to read books all day long. I can't go to the gym until we have this covid thing under control and I receive my covid vaccine. Should be in the next month or so.

And I am having eye surgery next week on my right eye. The cataract is so large that I may be doomed. But then I will wear a black patch over my eye like Marie. 

So, off to mail a package. I'll make 6 bucks towards my goal of 430. Ive got about 100 going towards it . This amount will cover my eye surgery. And I need to net 750 each month from now on as I am trying to pay off my debt and this will be the "extra" amount I need to put Chase to bed in 10 months. My 48 month plan will be about 38 months now. Hooray.

So I need to be a better source hound. I am cutting myself off from buying anything until Fed 1st. That is Hay's first auction of the year. I always have done well with Hay's stuff. 

Happy 2021. I am so happy that trump is out of the Whitehouse. I am not accustomed to pending disaster not imminent every morning. I may be able to wean myself off the 2 hour news feed each morning that goes with my coffee.
