Oh, summer, how I love you. Yard sales, blueberries, Big Brother. And yet, the days are slipping by in a jumble of park play dates and soccer and swimming lessons, and I am not accomplishing anywhere near what I think I should. Is it just me, or is it just life?
I made my listing goal for July, though! It was a low listing goal, and I made it with only two hours to spare, but I still consider it a win. July was decent to me sales-wise. I had sales every day, and even had one double-digit (just 10, but it counts!) sales day. This month I am going to bump up my goal a bit, but not too far. We’ve got a lot of family fun planned for this month, so I know things are going to be a bit hectic.

Nice sales Kari. That phoenix puppet is really cool.
I really like Folkmanis puppets, but the majority I’ve come across aren’t worth a whole lot.
Congrats on the sales! You always seem to do well with plush :-). The left behind books are a great sale too!
Plush will always be my favorite! π That is my second Left Behind book lot flip of the summer. I’m on the hunt for more now. π
Nice Kari!!! I just recently found the set of Left Behind books. All of the HC except for maybe 1. Can’t wait to get it listed. Glad to see you post!
I’ve now found and sold both a hardback lot and paperback lot. Hardback sold for more of course, but if’ they’re in good condition at a good price I’d say both are worth picking up. Hope yours sell soon, if they haven’t already! π
Great sales! Glad to hear you’re still making great sales and enjoying lots of quality time with your family. It’s great to have a job where we can do that π
With two young kids I definitely appreciate the flexibility of eBay. And it’s nice to have a month like July every once in awhile where I may not being putting as much work into listing but am still getting the sales, because of past months where I just kept listing even though I felt like my sales weren’t where they should be. It does seem to balance itself out in the end.
You’ve had some great sales Kari! I love the Pooh plush lot. Knowing me, I would have created a listing for them on Amazon. I don’t know if you sell on there at all (even as a merchant-fulfilled seller), but have you ever considered cross-posting your plush on eBay and Amazon?
