Trash to Cash Wednesday

Incredible Ebay Week!!!! Let's take a look at some of the top sellers...As much as we all don't get it, denim overalls are a great seller on ebay. However, they do take a back seat during the summer. These S.L.A. size L denim cargo overalls didn't sell the first few weeks, now that it's cooling off (In some areas of the World) they sold for $10.00.
These Old Navy size M denim overalls sold for $12.50. But, don't forget how well dress sell...This Tahari size XS black wrap dress sold for $15.50. Now, let's talk about some new name brands. My sister asked me to list a few items for her. This Belldini size XL animal print knit top sold for $10.47

Now you know I don't usually sell men's clothing on ebay, but here's a few more items I listed for my sister. This men's Polo by Ralph Lauren size M argyle sweater sold for $16.99


I had never heard of Fred Perry before, but my sister and her husband love vintage clothing and this is a hit in that crowd. This size XL Fred Perry Polo Shirt sold for $25.00.
Another new brand to me, this Nat Nast size M silk jacket sold for $39.99. Hopefully this gives everyone a few new names to look for. So, I said it was an incredible week- Let's take a look...

Ebay Sales: $759.74 (This is definitely a new record)
I did have a cost of $150 for the clothing items I listed, but this is still an amazing profit. I'm a little behind on calculating my ebay and paypal fees- but I'll make sure I get it all up to date for next week. Hope this motivates those of you contemplating becoming an ebay seller- This is a great time with school shopping, change of season and you can list up to 100 items free until Sept. 7. I'll be starting a new challenge in January for our latest family vacation- can't wait to tell you about it. In the meantime, my profits will be paying for a new computer, piano lessons for 2 of my girls, college admission application fees for my 17 year old, and life. Love, Kelly.

  2. Christine,
    My ebay seller name is skidoo3- sometimes it helps to view Laura and my auctions, that way you can see what we list and for how much. Good luck! (You can visit Laura's listings by clicking on the ebay button in the right margin of our blog)
