The Big Challenge Week 10

Week 10- only 5 more weeks to raise $4,000 to take the family to Florida! This week was fantastic! Ebay might have been a little slow, mostly because I didn't find many items to list, but craigslist made up for it. On ebay I had 13 items and 6 relists (I know, not much) Here were my top sellers...

Another pair of cherokee brand overalls. This pair of size medium sold for $9.99- They always seem to be a faithful item.This beautiful Ann Taylor Size 8 Black Silk Skirt sold for 8.00. Craigslist was over the top amazing this week.

I bought this bumbo for $5.00 at a yard sale and sold it for $15.00

This little tikes climb and slide was $10.00 this weekend and I sold it for $35.00

Remember the mantle that was $20.00 at a yard sale. I sold it to the sweetest lady for $80.00The top craigslist sell of the week, however, goes to the oak cabinet I paid $5 for at a yard sale. After some black paint and distressing, it sold this week for $195.00! I also sold a little bunny push carriage I've had for years for $20.00- Somehow the picture is MIA- But I paid $3 for it over 5 years ago at a yard sale. But the sweetest surprise of all was from Laura. Remember this table she gave me that I refinished and sold last week for $200?

I had planned to split the profits with Laura- who paid $50 for the table. This gave me $100 to add to the Florida total last week. Well this week I'll add another $100 as Laura wants me to keep the money. She is truly an amazing friend.

Because of the fantastic week we had we were able to purchase Tickets for our Flight and Pay for our Room. Bookit.com gave us a fantastic deal on the package. We will be staying at the Bahama Bay Resort in a 1700 square foot, 3 bedroom, 2 bath, full kitchen and laundry room Villa (For less than $100 a night) We adjusted our departure date a little so I actually have an extra week to earn more cash. You'll notice on next weeks post I'll say only 5 weeks to go (which is actually what I said this week-) I love hearing how so many of you have started selling on craigslist and ebay- Keep the stories coming. Love, Kelly.
