Our best sale this week was the door of a clothes washer for $150. We purchased this used washer off craigslist and it turned out to be a dud. Ryanne parted the machine out so we’ll actually make money off the purchase. Nothing goes to waste! Otherwise, things are selling and we’re having fun.

We had a pretty good week of sales on eBay. We noticed that people are buying mismatched silverware, likely for their upcoming Thanksgiving dinners Otherwise, all kins of random stuff keeps selling. Our highest sale was an old whisky bottle that people collect. Our coffee business continues to grow. As we get more wholesale customers for our beans, we keep needing help. We just hired another full-time roaster which is super exciting. This is much different than running our eBay store, but working with others brings its own challenges and fun.

It’s difficult for us to know what a “normal eBay week” means for us these days as we’ve transitioned to focusing on other parts of our lives. We still find ways to scavenge pretty interesting items for cheap that we list. We have a store, it’s full of stuff, it’s all for sale, and we sell stuff each week. That’s what we know. It works! After you’ve been selling on eBay for a long time, sometimes muscle memory is important. We’ve seen how it’s so easy to lose interest in selling online…and then how difficult it is to get back into it. What’s important to us is the pipeline stays open and loaded. Our large inventory carries us through busy times in our lives. Our special holiday coffee blend is out for a limited time if you’re looking for presents. Matching Pajamas!

We actually had a much better week than expected while we were on vacation. Usually we expect sales to drop when on “time away” but sales were steady.

Slow week but we’ve also on vacation. So we’ll take these sales while our store is on autopilot. We’re having a lot of fun scavenging in a new town.
