Tuesday Inventory

Things are selling at a steady rate around here - thank goodness! 

 It was sooo slow for awhile there!  I'm having a hard time staying above the 200 item mark, which is funny since all through the winter I was around 300.  I really need to boost my inventory back up but things keep selling so I won't complain!

 I love anything madras...it sells FAST!  

Ann Taylor Loft shorts - gone! $14.99

 J. Crew City Fit shorts - gone! $24.99

 Jamie Sadock tennis skirt - gone! $29.99

 Bebe asymmetrical skirt -gone! $14.99

Chaps plaid skirt - gone! $14.99

And remember that big community yard sale I went to?  

We had fun but I sure didn't find much!

I almost got into a fist fight (mentally anyhow) with one lady who went through everything in my pile piece by piece and then wanted me to pay $20 for ONE pair of pants.

Um, NO.

Yard sale rule #23 - If it is ON YOUR LAWN and you are trying to sell it, do not pretend you are the clearance rack at Macy's with your high prices.  

DUMB! 

Even worse was that my friend bought a J. Crew mens wool coat (what are they, like $200?) at the same sale for $3!!!!

She lucked out for sure!

I picked up this cake pan for $1 and will be putting it in the store this week.

  

I also found this Spiderman costume for $2.  

My youngest son used to have a Spiderman costume that we also found at a yard sale and he played dress up in that thing over and over again.  He tried this one on but there is no chance it will still fit him my Halloween.  

It looks brand new so it will go into the shop in September.  

Hoping to go out on Saturday...not sure how the sales will be with the holiday weekend but I'll try!

Tuesday Inventory - week of the dress!

I am finding I have piles of clothing everywhere right now and I know it's driving my family crazy.  

Or maybe just me? 

In any case, I've been working hard this week to get new items listed and take care of the mess! 

 I found quite a few dresses to list this week!

 Ann Taylor Loft Faux Wrap Dress - size 8

 Faith Love Passion Cream and Orange Paisley Dress - size 4

 Harold's Shift Fruit Dress - size 0

 J.Crew black tank dress - size 0 Petite

After Six Green Chiffon Tea Length Dress - size 6

There is a HUGE community yard sale that I am super excited to go to on Saturday morning..wish me luck!

Tuesday Inventory

I was woken up Saturday morning by my 7 year old at 7 a.m. - he was dressed and ready to go, had toast cooking for breakfast and needed something to put his change in so we could go out to yard sales.  SO CUTE!  How could I say no?

It wasn't a hugely successful morning but I found a few fun things for the store

 Aeropostale distressed jacket, new with tags (Medium)

 Boys Polo Ralph Lauren jacket (SOLD!)

New in Package Robeez crib shoes (I used to love these for my kids when they were little)

So I guess I might start up Garage Sale Stories again next week!

I did do some extra scouting and was especially excited to find these...

 Anthropologie Kensie Waxed Linen ruffled collar jacket - Size 2 

I have never in my life felt the need to be a size 2 until I saw this jacket.  I think it is just CUTE!

I was also surprised to find a Fresh Produce dress.  I've heard of the brand before and how it does well for resale, but have not seen a single piece in the entire year I have been doing this.  We will see what this one ends up selling at.  

I have a few items on auction this week.  Sometimes it seems to drive more traffic to the store so I switch over from the BIN option just while the listing is free.  I'll let you know what it sells for (if at all!)

Are the yard sales in full swing mode where you are? 

 I am so happy to have them going again.

1000th Feedback!

I did it!  

Today I finally hit my 1000th feedback on eBay and received my red star!  That along with my Top Rated Seller and Power Seller status makes me a very happy girl!

Woot!  Woot!

So exciting...even better is knowing that out of that many, I've only received 2 neutrals and 1 random negative feedback.  I know it sounds corny, but I really love what I do and I work hard to provide great customer service and FAST shipping!  

It makes all the difference! 

Rare Chanel Handbag

For sale...$2500.00

Into rare Chanel handbags?  Me neither.  But I have one for sale right now!  I could never justify spending that much money on a purse I would only carry my CostCo and library cards in with $10 cash.  Just not my lifestyle and I am okay with that.  

But my sister in law was given this bag (long story) and asked me to sell it for her on eBay.  Which was fine until I started looking into it and I got a little scared.  VeRO anyone?  I didn't want a warning (I've already accidentally gotten one of those 3 months ago) and who knows what would happen with a 2nd one?  They might shut down my store, who knows!  I wasn't going to mess with it.

I decided to try opening a booth on Bonanza to list it.  

Can you believe how much the used denim airplane Chanel tote bag goes for? 

$2500.00!

What the???  

That was more than our Disney vacation!  

Craziness!!

But I get it - we all have our list of "must haves" in life, don't we!

She also wanted me to sell this vintage Chanel multi-charm belt.  Necklace?  Both?

Only problem is I can't really find anything on it.  I *think* it's authentic but who am I?  I'm the girl who gets her earrings at Target and DownEast. 

So I am a little leary to list this. 

 

Have you ever had something you were scared to sell or had a run in with the VeRO police?

I am selling both of these, please email me if you are interested!

Tuesday Inventory

One of the frustrating things about having an online store is that you don't have much control over your sales.  Some days you are flying high the next you are wondering "where did everybody go?"  I never count or plan on what I make...but boy it would be nice if I felt like my store light wasn't plain turned off some days. 

These are a few of my favorite finds this week:

Ralph Lauren floral cropped pants, size 14

J. Jill Linen skirt size 18

 TravelSmith Indispensable green dress, medium

Carole Little floral dress, size 10

 Chico's Size 1 (8/10) white capri pants

Banana Republic Medium Silk jersey dress

I did manage to make a few sales:

 A set of 10 Read with Dick and Jane early readers.  I bought these intending to read them with my daughter but she wasn't that interested in them so off they went for $23. 

 (I paid $4.25 for the set)

 A PB Kids lunchbox went for $19.99

And I sold this PB backpack for $34.99

How did you do this week?  

Are your sales booming or slow like mine?

Tuesday Inventory

I have been cranking up the listings and right now I am back up in the 230's!  Still a ways to go.  I'd love to see more sales, mine have been a little slow this week. sadly enough.

These are my favorite finds of the week.  Not sure how great they will do, but you never know, right?!  One mans trash....

 Ann Taylor Loft Spring Floral Trench Coat Large Petite

 Isn't this is cutest aqua floral dress? R & K, 12. Such a happy color.

 New without tags Sigrid Olsen 4 Silk Skirt...gorgeous!

 Ralph Lauren 4 brown lightweight wool dress pants

 J. Crew nwt (10 tall) pink favorite fit chinos

Gap 12 olive green capri pants

Nothing that stands out too much...weather is warming up though so I am expecting shorts and capris to start flying off the shelf!  Remember these fun pants with the martini's?

Sold for $16.99!  Sweet!
