Hi all! I’m really excited to be part of the challenge and blog. Our goal is $5,000.00 profit. We’ll be obtaining inventory from garage sales, thrifts, estate sales, library sales and possibly pawn shops. Our venues are Ebay/half.com and Amazon. You can find us under the user ID beautifulexcess on all three venues. I’ve been mostly selling books on Amazon and Half but recently started to get back into Ebay auctions to sell the other fun things we find in our travels. I’m a garage sale and thrift store junkie but now it is time to see just how well I can make my addiction hobby pay off.
Our online business is based out of my basement home office near Seattle Washington. The garage sale season should be starting up in ernest soon. My husband helps me with the business but for the post part it is my baby and responsibility.
Looking forward to sharing and seeing how well everyone does.

Hi Coleen,
We got into this originally because we love to poke around garage sales and auctions too. I think you have to like it to succeed at this since it occupies quiet a bit of time.
Good Luck,
Ken

Hi Coleen,
I wanted to do this challange last year when Gary had it, but we were in the middle of packing and moving to Ohio.
I love anything to do with garage sales, auctions ect and since our kids are all grown, it gives me something to do that I enjoy, plus make a lttle extra money.
Good luck and have a wonderful prosperious day!
Rita
