First Week of September Garage Sale & Goodwill Pickups to Resell on Ebay

My pickups for the past week of items I am going to be putting up for sale on Ebay. I went to a moving/tag sale, a garage sale, two Goodwills and one consignment store. I was sick on Thursday and Friday, then we had severe weather on Saturday...so it wasn't an ideal week for shopping garage sales!

I visited a Good Will and a Salvation Army this past week. It had been about 6 or more months since I had been to either since Yard Sales & Flea markets were around....well... what a difference! the prices were laughable... however things seemed more organized like a regular retail store.. No fun

That Bible is the same Bible my parents got out family when I was a kid...( 70's) My family is Roman Cathoiic if that is any help, The bible is still at my brothers house

@pattypatz1 I'm always had great luck at my Goodwills, although this past week I noticed prices on the things they mark individually were a lot higher. Guess it all depends on who is doing the pricing in the back. Thank you for the info on the Bible! I will still have to open it as people ALWAYS wants specifics on the Bible. At least I can advertise it as brand new, though.

i loaded up on auctions last week too!...i got killed though except for my Atari, sticking to my store for now. GREAT PICKS!

@MrThedudeshere With the 1-cent sale, I started the auctions at the price I wanted and ran them for 7 days. While the vast majority didn't end up selling, I still did well with the ones that did, and also sold some Fixed Price stuff. It's been a long time since I had so many sales in one day! :-)

@annabellasgiftshop that is exactly what i should have done.....i started to low and sold almost all...but really lost money overall. Live and learn i guess :) i'm glad you did well! :)

@MrThedudeshere Don't beat yourself up about it! I have done the same thing many times. Just chalk it up to adverstising as it hopefully drove traffic to your listings...and you may get repeat customers from it! :-)

Did you know that the Bible is the number one most stolen book?

@Misscoolfinds I had a very busy day today as all my auctions ended - so nice to actually have SALES, lol!! We no longer have a Salvation Army, only St. Vincent DePaul. I can't stand St. Vincents as nothing is ever marked - you have to drag the item up to the front and the clerk gives you a price....and the price is always crazy high.

there prices are very high, so i dont really bother going to that one.

great video

sales have been slow but they are starting to pick up, so now with the holiday is over and people will be shopping for holidays comming up it will get better. We had a yard sale here cause we just had too much stuff, made some money and got rid of alot of stuff that was just sitting around, so that was good. I might go the salvation army sometime today, that is the only one i really like going to. We have a good will in the area that never has anything good and another thrith store
