I think I had the best month on Ebay and re-selling in quite awhile! I kept up with listing every day with the exception of one day, and by Golly, I think it paid off.
I listed 128 and sold 66. I had two returns and several no pays which I immediately relisted after 5 days and if they did not request a cancellation and did not contact me I left them a review stating that they were did not respond to requests. Warning to others.
I kept much better records of my scouring and my purchase of supplies so that I have a much better picture of how much I am making.
I was able to make some "emergency" payments that are not normal - a lot. My reselling paid for them. I paid for my daughters doctor bill (300$), I bought her tickets to a rock concert for her birthday (335$), I paid partial for crossing the bridge without a pre-pay for 10 months (500$) . So there was my profit.
My focus is going to be on certain goals in the month of September. Number one is to budget and stick to it! Number 2 is to list more than 5 each day. 5 is the threshold and I am going to stretch beyond it each day. Number 3 is to put aside weekly an amount for saving not to EVER BE TOUCHED! I will start small - 10%.
The big one, which I hope to accomplish in this month, is to have a Yard Sale. Maybe 2 of them. September will be a good month for a yard sale since the summer is well over and I will not be cooking in the sun exposed front yard. Yikes, its awful on a sunny hot day. The first one will be everything for ONE DOLLAR. I have so much glass - clear glass, cut glass etc, - that does not sell. So instead of giving it to Goodwill, I will sell it for 1$ I have a lot of MacDonald toys in the original packaging that I can not pass up at the Bins. I will sell those for a buck. I have a lot of slightly chipped things that are lovely but I do not want to list. I have too many "damaged" items listed already.
I have ordered magnetic lights for a light box to start selling clothes. We will see. Clothes is a glutted niche. But, I have a lot of really nice Vintage stuff - we'll see.
Best sellers this month

Definitely a pattern here.
