This is my new life. My daughter moved in with us while she reassesses her life and situation. I secured a storage unit for her but her things are scattered all over the house! Added to my death pile, it is overwhelming. My husbands dementia which took a nose dive when my step daughter died has evened out. Easier to deal with when he is not seeing people in the house or thinks he needs to go to work. With joining this Death Pile Demolition group on FB I have kicked up listing. The new large light box is a blessing and I am able to take a slew of pictures on my new Galaxy 21 (also a Godsend) and have five listings up in less than an hour.
A good problem to have is having to box up things for shipping. It takes me literally hours! Every day. So if I have to go pick up my auction winnings (I know, I should not be bidding, I should be listing) in S-ville, that takes several hours. Shipping takes several hours because I am a dumb ass and have no printer (that works), so I go to the library or Staples, print out my labels, manage to put them on all the packages in the car, then go to one or the other Post offices, Fes Ex across the river, and UPS on the other side of Jeff. Once I deal with 3 dogs, a husband with dementia, cooking, washing dishes, caring for a cat with diabetes, sometimes spending hours searching for a misplaced item, taking pictures and listing - I'm in sensory over load and fretting because my house is a wreck. Did I mention the mouse in the kitchen? I have caught one (he fell into a soup pot) and do have the heart to kill whoever is left. I believe it is one mouse. I have not seen him in days. But he is still here.
I have sold a lot the past two weeks! I am at (almost) 40 items, Half the month to go. I have no illusions that the 2nd half will be profitable as the 1st half, but I'm on a roll never the less.
Old listings that have sold.
Hard to sell Willow Tree without Box. Got this early summer too,
There is a lot more but since I am using my phone now I will have to figure out a way to document before selling. Can not load up pictures from Ebay after selling.
