    Talking Listed my first item today in 3 years!

    Well I guess I am officially in business. I listed my first item in 3 years on Ebay. Just a small thing. I do hand painted home decor.

    It is just a $6.99 Tissue box cover but that would just be $6.99 closer to paying for dds Fall tuition for her Sophmore year.

    Every dollar COUNTS right!?!

    I hope to list at least 4 more items by the end of the week.

    A good goal to work for I think.

    I have 2 watchers!!

    that's wonderful, I wish you the bestest of luck. Keep us posted. Our Ebaying villagers get me on the edge of my seat, biting my nails. Especially the last few minutes..it's super exciting to see stuff sell!!

    Your right, every penny counts. I see people on e-bay selling coupons for a dollar. I love selling on e-bay. I just made almost $100 over the week-end. I've been selling off all my scrapbooking stuff - going to go digital and I don't have time right now. I put my Creative Memories Cutting System up for bid and figured I would get around $30 because it's used and I ended up selling it for $76. I also sold Dave Ramsey's TMMO book for $8.50 and I bought it at Goodwill for $2.99. I plan on putting more stuff up for auction later on today. I have another Dave Ramsey book that I bought for myself, but I will end up losing money on that one because I paid full price for it at the store. Anyway, hope your tissue box sells - it's very nice. You do a good job at painting.

    Wow! Good sales! I just listed 2 cherry magnets today so I am getting back into the swing of things.

    I did pick up another watcher for what it is worth!

    As for that second Dave ramsey book--just letting it collect dust is worse than selling it at a loss!

    Good luck.

    Wow............ great job ebay selling you guys! I've GOT to get started doing this. Have bought off ebay for years, but have never tried selling.

    Heavens knows I have TONS of stuff here. Some pretty good stuff too .... that I just don't need.

    Very nice painting Cricketlegs. You do a great job!

    I used to do decorative painting years ago (before I started my bath & body business) and LOVED it.
    Hmmmmm...... actually I have quite a few of the books, brand-spanking new, I could probably sell on ebay.

    Watching you guys sell stuff just might be that PUSH I need to get started
