Day 4 of Money Challenge #2: Everyday Listing/Selling for 31 days – It’s storming outside

That’s right, it’s storming outside. A classic Spring Midwestern storm that’s kept me mostly inside. But I did muster up the energy to visit a nearby thrift store just for fun and found these:

Cabela’s Men’s socks. They retail for $12.99 and I got them for much much less than that. A friend at work recently made a profit off some Cabela’s clothing by listing it on ebay, so I decided to go ahead and take the chance. Plus, if they don’t sell at least The Beard can wear them.

Then I felt guilty for buying something to list when I have stuff at home that I should be listing. And since it’s a stormy day, I made the most of it by listing three additional items:

A costume jewelry necklace, a weird kind of viking candelabra, and an old ice cube maker. I’ve listed them all.

So far the most views one of my items has gotten is nine. NINE! That’s it! I don’t know why I have a bad luck streak with ebay going but I hope it ends soon.

Day 4

Listed thus far: Sarah Coventry brooch, vintage candelabra, Springer spaniel belt buckle, Cabela’s socks, Avon necklace, vintage ice cube tray, and viking like candelabra.

Day 2 of Money Challenge #2: Everyday Listing/Selling for 31 days – Friday night candle lights

I got home from a long day at work and was unwinding with a good documentary and a full craft beer with a dog on my lap when I realized that I hadn’t listed anything to sell for today. So I went upstairs to the storage room and found this gem:

A 3 tiered dark wood vintage candelabra. I bought it at a thrift store a while ago for only $2 and haven’t used it since then. But ebay enthusiasts now have 7 days to bid on my shortcomings. Let’s hope they go for it.
