It’s been awhile since I did a recap of how long it took for items to sell within any given month. I had over 100 sales in August, and this was the breakdown of what month each of the items sold was originally listed in:
Listed in August, 2014: 21
Listed in July, 2014: 21
Listed in June, 2014: 11
Listed in May, 2014: 7
Listed in April, 2014: 2
Listed in March, 2014: 5
Listed in February, 2014: 4
Listed in January, 2014: 3
Listed in December, 2013: 3
Listed in November, 2013: 7
Listed in October, 2013: 6
Listed prior to October, 2013: 15
Halloween-related sales: 10
Christmas-related sales: 2
Best Offers Accepted: 16
I still think almost everything will sell . . . eventually.
And Halloween sales are really picking up already. Get those costumes listed if you haven’t already!
I met my listing goal for August . . . with half an hour to spare. This month has reinforced how important it is for me to keep track of my new listings with a ticker. For a week or so early in the month the ticker website was not working correctly, and I had to try to keep a mental tally of how many new listings I had. It was a challenge! I was so glad when the website started working again. Then at the end of the month I could tell I was cutting it close as to whether or not I would reach my listing goal. It definitely motivated me to list more than I would have otherwise.
