Grug sells - Item #7

Item #7 - Grug book sold via Ebay, and with a super quick payment, Grug will be on his way to his new abode tomorrow.

We have a few more sales pending payment - both through Ebay and the Bulletin Board.

With a few fetes and a book fair on this weekend, we got to do a little bit of finding for future sales (as well a few finds for our own bookshelves).

Hopefully we will be in double figures with the next post.

Slow moving

Another DVD sold via the work bulletin board, and we have a batch of books on Ebay, including a collectable Grug book which aleady has bids on it.

Sold - Item #5

One DVD sold via work bulletin board - and interest in another. Not sure how long we should keep these items advertised on the board.

#996 to go

Two more Ebay sales paid for - Perfume and Cosmetics. Items have been packaged and posted. 

No interest so far on the DVD's listed on the work bulletin board.

2 gone - 998 to go

Item #2 sold - cosmetics sold via Ebay. Parcel is packed waiting to be posted tomorrow. 

The other items we listed had closing bids - will list as sold once payment is processed.

We currently have some new DVD's listed on our work bulletin boards - will see how they go. I need to get some more Ebay listings ready, but unexpected work travel plans have put a delay on organising this.

YAY

HiHi it is Pho here, just saying hip hip hooray we sold our first item it was a Holly Hobbie book we found at a fete with  millions of books. 

We sold it to my Aunty M. That's one item we can cross of our very long list. 

TaTa for now,

1000 green bottles sitting on the wall

There are 1000 green bottles sitting on the wall,

1000 green bottles sitting on the wall,

but if one of those bottles should actually be sold,

there would be 999 green bottles sitting on the wall...

Project 1000 has started, we currently have three items listed on ebay (yes, I know 3 is a small number - but it is a start).

Some ground rules:

- we will endeavour to be creative in the way we sell items - i.e - not just eBay and a garage sale

- we will only count items that we are selling on behalf of ourselves

- there are no minimum monthly targets - this Project also depends on available time.

Of course rules can be reviewed added to at any time.

For Sale One Thousand Things

The idea to try and sell One Thousand Things, brewed while sitting on a bus. I am not sure why 1000 - it just seemed to have a nice ring to it. 

I proposed my idea to family and friends thinking they would try and talk me out of it - but no, one friend sent me all the details of getting my hawkers license (to sell food) while Pho wanted to no what % she would earn.

We do have a goal for selling things - pocket money for our family trip to New York City and Orlando, Florida in April 2010. 

Where will the one thousand items come from? We intend to be creative, as a family we are collectors, we have a few double up of items. We are also finders - scouring op shops, garage sales, fetes and auctions means we have picked up a number of items we could not go past knowing someone would want this treasure. We have a concept for selling confectionary (hence the hawkers license) and Sage has recorded two CD’s that she needs to sell. 

Stay tuned for our first sale listings update.
