Wow, I guess I neglected to mention trying my hand at selling on eBay for the first time the other week. I have to admit, they kinda bribed me into doing it. They offered three free listings (including the Gallery extra, for a total of $0.60 per item) for first time sellers. So, I figured, what the heck, I have nothing to lose! I listed a pair of earrings, which didn’t sell, didn’t even get a single hit, but that doesn’t surprise me terribly because the jewelry market on eBay is totally flooded. I listed a highly collectible Longaberger cross stitch ornament kit, which has gone for upwards of $20, but only sold for my opening price of $5.95, but I wasn’t terribly disappointed because I had gotten it for free. \ud83d\ude42 And finally, I listed a matching, handmade kit of needlework tools – a two-piece dololly, two large marking pins and two small marking pins. And it sold well! I listed it for $9.95 and it ended at nearly $18.00. Not too shabby.<\/p>\n
So, I was sitting here tonight, looking at my pile of old stitching stuff that I’ve been trying to trade for a while and decided that I pretty much had nothing to lose in listing a couple of things. They’ve already been long paid for, so if they manage to sell, anything I get is just gravy. I listed two older booklets and an older kit and will see how things do. Selling in threes seems to work so far, so if sometime this week I get at least one bid on at least one item I just listed, maybe I’ll list three more. If I don’t add too many “extras” into the listing, it’s not terribly expensive, so I might as well sell it to someone who will make use of it, right?<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
