2008 Garage Sale Challenge Update - Weeks 16-20

I am really behind in updating so I’m updating for 5 weeks this time.  Our sales have all been on Amazon as we just haven’t been finding much to list on eBay.  I do have some lots of books and some china to list this weekend; but outside of that, everything to the end of the Challenge will probably be Amazon sales.

Larry and Kathy’s Update - Weeks 14 and 15

Here is our update for Weeks 14 and 15 of the Challenge.  No big deals at all.  Rummage sales are not producing much of value.  We haven’t had time to check many thrift stores, but we are going to need to do that on a more regular basis plus check out some auction sales in order to get our sales closer to where we would like them.

Larry and Kathy’s Update - Weeks 12 and 13

Our two-week vacation ended last week so we have no sales to report.  We did hit a few sales this weekend, and things seem to be picking up a little from the July slump.  We found the following and have listed them on eBay this week:

• Southwestern Student Handbook, 4 Volumes - paid $2.00
• 18 Stampin’ Up! Stamp Sets - None of them will be big sellers, but I paid only $1 or $2 apiece.
• Lot of Miscellaneous Rubber Stamps in a Case - I ditched the case and listed the stamps in a lot.  You couldn’t beat the price - FREE!
• Lot of 34 Stampin’ Up! Ink Pads - I paid $15 but hope to double or triple my money.
• Lot of 51 Children’s Books (Barbie Book Club, Pokémon, Magic Tree House, Disney) which I divided up in lots - Paid $.10 apiece
• Tupperware Push-Button Gallon Pitcher - Paid $.25
• Vintage Glass Pitcher - Paid $.50

In addition, we picked up the following which I listed on Amazon:

• CD - Peter Mayer, Elements - Paid $.50
• CD - Plas Johnson, The Blues - paid $.50
• Book - NIV Discoverer’s Bible - paid $.10, sold for $9.99
• Toy - Pokémon Battle Arena - paid $5.00 (probably too much)
• Toy - Pokémon Pikachu Figure - paid $1.50
• Toy - Pokémon Cranida Figure - paid $1.50
