The Big Challenge Week 13

Week 13 of the Big Challenge. We leave for Florida 3 weeks from today. If you're just now joining me for The Big Challenge and wonder what it is, you can read about it here. I've really got to kick it up a notch or two if I'm going to make my goal of $4,000! I've been listing like crazy on ebay and it's really paying off. Here's my top sales of the week:

I took a chance when I purchased these Hudson size 29 jeans because they were a little funky. But for just $1.00 I figured I take my chances. When I searched them on ebay, I found out they sell quite well so I listed them for 9.99. My wild card item SOLD for 9.99.
I originally listed these J.Crew size 8 pink linen pants for $7.00 and they didn't sell. However, when relisted this week for the same price they sold for $13.39.
This Ann Taylor size 6 Black Damask skirt is another relist. There were no bids when it was listed for $7.00 last week, but this week it sold for $12.50.And my top seller of the week- actually of all time- is this Old Navy Size Large Maternity Skirt. I purchased it for $1.00 and it sold for $18.50. Old Navy always does well for me and Maternity is a great resale item too. So, on to craigslist. Remember the $25 table I refinished?This sold for $125, just days after it was listed. I had mentioned the round tables that matched also sold, but the buyer couldn't get back to my side of town, so they've been listed on craigslist for $90 each. Here's the silver room divider screen I picked up for $5 this weekend.I listed it on Saturday and within 30 minutes it was sold for $45.00. Gotta love craigslist. As the school year gets ready to end, we realize how close we are to leaving on our trip. The kids are really getting excited. We haven't seen my 20 year old for almost 4 months, so this will be a trip to remember. Thanks for all the supportive comments, they really do help when I'm up at midnight trying to list my last few ebay items. I know all the hard work will be worth it. Love, Kelly.

P.S. I broke 3,000 This week. If you read this post earlier I had added in an incorrect amount for ebay fees $94.04 seemed high and when I double checked my numbers it was just 60.87! Now I feel like I'm really getting close.
