2008 Garage Sale Challenge week 3: no car =(
May 27, 2008 · No Comments
Don’t know if I mentioned that my ebay id is jwirebooks and my AZ id is jncw.
We brought our daughter home from college, then she left for her summer job in her car, which I was borrowing while she was gone. So I am now without transportation in a rural setting. Needless to say, getting to sales and thirft stores is a challenge; I just have to wait for the weekend when my husband and his car are home.
I did manage to pick up some books at a library book sale on the way home from riding up to dd’s summer lodging.
Week 2&3 totals:
- Spent on books: $24.90, Miles: $7.48
- eBay sales: $43.75
- fees : $4.65
- postage: $9.88
Net profit to date: -24.13 
OK, with a funeral, two graduations, and 1700 miles of traveling behind me, I will get back to selling!
BEST SALE: the Donvier Ice Cream maker that I got for 75 cents sold for $33.00 on eBay.
