I have been busy, ebaying.........


till my fingers have gotten sore and my mind has turned to mush...


I have no idea how people become power sellers without losing their minds.....taking photos, editing photos, writing ad copy for what you are selling, remembering all the do's and don'ts..is
overwhelming to me at times.
Look at these great mid century rooster candlesticks I have up on ebay this week. They had a bid within the first hour, I posted them. I have no idea where I found them or why I had never used them.....I am a total packrat.


So I took a break from putting up new things, my lack of sales reflected it. I have learned recently that those that post more, get more sales. They might have over a 1,000 items listed at any one moment in time. I struggle to keep over a 100 items up at once.


My goal this month, is going to have my item total reach 200 listings, or close to it. I have 200 listings in my bonanzle store.......and just fixed the google base search down load. Imperative to get sales, there. My sales there have been small and only 2 so far. It is a new venture...


But their booths are easy to set up.....I am thinking of setting one up just for craft items that I intend on setting up. This week, will post a lot of unused stamps on both ebay and bonanzle.


I have so much art pottery up there, waiting to be sold. I find higher priced items take much longer to sell with the economic climate.....There is still so much negativity all over the news and I find it overwhelming to listen to on a daily basis. In this age, where people everywhere write books and copy on the power of positive thinking, and seem to be selling it like crazy, I have been wondering do people just buy it and not read it? Or was it bought, but the concept is NOT SOLD?


I believe that you can find something positive in the worst situation.......if you look to do so. Admittedly, this is not always easy......but, if you want to find it, it will be there waiting for you.


Here's hoping that this economic mess, moves on and some sense of pleasure returns to all of our lives......


Smiles to you,
