Woowhoo! Plus a lady came into my shop and bought $150 doll. Plus I sold a bunch of other stuff, too. Maybe the economy is getting better or people are spending their tax checks.

I am putting a bunch of stuff on for club99. I am really wanting to pay my bills with ebay again. I got so lazy because my stuff was not getting bids. Now it is starting to get bids agains so I am thinking go go gophers go go go!

Don't forget it is half off tonight and tomorrow on auctions (not books as they are already low).

So get with it and list list list list! Lets try to get 1000 items on this month and grab some of that tax money!!!

Oh and they fixed the me page problem. I had to convince them there was an error. Finally, it is all good!

Great, Deb!

[mswiser]

Wow! and it started at 9.99! That was wonderful!

I'm hoping to cash in this month too! I sold some stuff that I had on Club99 last month at a much higher price, that was great!

[closetbountiful]

How is everyone? Anyone really snowed in? We don't get snow here in the SF Bay Area, but it sure did rain! And it is still super cold. Usually, it is starting to warm up by this time. BRRRRR!

Business has been slow this month, but it's now picking up. Glad to hear others are starting to sell their stuff. My garage is super packed with no room to move, and I've gotta get it moving, moving, moving.

Been working long hours at my new job, and I'm looking forward to this 3-day weekend. After listing for 2 days, I'm getting a massage on Monday. I soooo need it!

Big hugs to all. Wish everyone lots of love and lots of GREEN!

Looking forward to your books and clothes Marcia-Hope you have some Key Lime Pie coming, love them. Good luck everyone with Club99-lets sell, sell!!

[mswiser]

I put the list up early as I will be away from my puter tomorrow. I have about 15 prelisted, and plan to do more on Sunday sometime.

A.A, will you check & make sure I don't miss anyone that signs up after tonight? Thanks!

Hi

I had a post and some how I manage to hit an unknown key, the post disappears and a different web page opens. This is not a one time thing. I do it a lot. My fingers have a mind of their own!

So, I was on a role taking pictures and the batteries pooped out. I have an extra charger and batteries but did I have them charged? Nooooo. Bad Patty.

So, do you think the new ebay March .99 cent free listing will be a bonus for Club99?

[retrodeb]

Does anyone else find that the collectables category is the easiest to deal with in regards to listing? Maybe it is just me.

Oh and if you have a store or are thinking about opening one, check this out: http://pages.ebay.com/sellerinformat...rator2010.html

I don't know if the under $1 for free fee is going to help us or not. Who knows as there are going to be a ton of people putting on stuff, well maybe or it may be the same.

It gives you an idea of what you should do in regards to having a store or not with the new fee changes. Thought you guys might want to see the difference. It was interesting and I would like to hear from you about your results.

I am putting a couple of ghoulies on to see what happens.

Heh, did I say I just love my dog...I never had a dog before, well we had a couple of short term muts when I was little but never after fourth grade. She now herds my chickens in at night. Geez, what a time saver.

Off to get some sleep. We have a huge fundraiser tomorrow for our local high school. A silent auction with 100 items, 200 people, a indoor poker run, and a dance. Woowho, I am the bartender...It should be fun. I will put more stuff on while running the shop tomorrow, too.

Good Luck Everyone!!!

It told me what I already suspected, that I should close my store.

[calicobox]

I am small potatoes and shouldn't open a store.

[houndheaven4]

It tells me that the fees would be about what I pay now. I think I will keep my store for a couple of months and see if the fees increase. I do sell a fair amount out of the store so will see if it is worth it.

Deb, aren't dogs great-always love you no matter what and are always ready to take a nap when you are!! (At least mine are) Get some rest it sounds like you are going to be a busy girl!!

[TreasuredPast]

Hey everyone, moving slow today but looking forward to the excitement and fun......... WOW retroded great job on that ghoulie, I love to see sales like this just soo inspiring to me, right now just working on the 10 for the club well back to listing GOOD LUCK everyone....Green Green Green!

[calicobox]

I finally have mine listed!

Whew!

[closetbountiful]

Yep! Got some listed. More on Sunday. Got a new camera and have been fiddling with the sizing. Humpf!

Been so cold in my garage/office that I haven't been motivated to get out there and stir up some stuff. Finally got to today. My weekend is for listing on eBay.

Looking forward to seeing what you've got, too. Isn't it fun?

I'm in PA. We got 24 inches on Feb. 5 & 6 and 20 inches on Feb. 9 & 10. I still didn't dig my car out. I finally borrowed a shovel and will do it later today. Here's a couple of pics I took the day before yesterday.

[retrodeb]

Woowhoo, we had two hundred peeps, 100 silent auction items, and made a killing in the bar for the club. We had FFA kids helping, they are just homespun hardworkers. Next time I see an event for them, I am giving. We made $8000 last year but I bet we made more this time, all for solar lights for the local high school.

Yes, Feb. has been good to me. My sales are up again for some reason. Knock on wood because I am one of those Anthem insurance clients who got hit with a $100 increase on my insurance premium, a month. It was already $600, now it is $700 every first. OUCH!!

Oh did I say I love my dog...I DO!!! Her little belly is warm for those naps on the couch for sure. She is a walker, we are up to 5 miles a day. I went to the doc on Friday and a total of 45 pounds have come off me since last January 2009. Walking and no white stuff is the key, slow but sweet, I tell you.

Well off to open the shop...It be cold here but no snow, just wet foggy ickiness...bone chilling.

[ardeeann]

Wow Linda (ldr2323) that is a LOT of snow. I feel like a weenie whining about ours!

Ardee-ann who had 7.52 inches of snow!

GASP You don't mean.... NO ICE CREAM??!!

[retrodeb]

It has like 4 carbs per serving or close to it. I mean anything white like bread, rice, potato, sugar, pasta, etc...I have fallen in love with those double fiber breads they have now and the one you can have two pieces instead of one from I think orowheat. A little chewy but heh, it is bread damn it. ha ha ha

Man, people are spending money again, must be from their tax returns. This went for over $100: http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll...=STRK:MESOX:IT

I got 12 club99er's on and seven have bids...yippeee...My insurance is paid this month.

Off to watch American Pickers and Pawn Broker or whatever is called...love it.

With Steven having diabetes, we are all watching carbs, and it's helped a lot!

I only have 2 bids, but everything has a watcher, hopefully they will turn into sales!

We love those shows! I used to watch Cash in the Attic, but don't get it anymore!

[retrodeb]

I love that show...wasn't there one in set in the UK, too. They go to hoarder houses and find stuff to sell.

Protein helps me,too, almonds are my friend and dark chocolate baby!


Five of my seven auctions with buyers are starting to get multiple bids and I got a lot of watchers

[calicobox]

I am actually selling things! I am so happy!

It gives me encouragement to list more.

[SweetGalDecals]

Me too. After a long dry spell, I'm getting decal orders. It's encouraging, especially since our two cars with a combined 350,000 miles on them both need replacing. We are thinking of going down to 1 car for the duration.

[retrodeb]

we got a fusion and love it. I didn't get the hybrid but it gets 35 miles a gallon. The seats go down for garage saling.

I just can't believe these people are buying my books again. I am thrilled...

[closetbountiful]

I've sold a ton of stuff that I've been relisting, and a bunch of books.

Hope everyone else is doing well.

Marcia

[calicobox]

OMGosh Deb!

If I had one of those in my toy stash I would have probably tossed it out!

http://cgi.ebay.com/Groovie-Ghoulie-...item335a2700cd

[mswiser]

Did pretty well today, and have more for tomorrow closing! Not a bad haul this time! LOL

[houndheaven4]

WTG with that goulie Deb!! Great sale!!
Patty those toys I was bidding on went for a great price too!! Good for you too!!
My sales have been steady but nothing really high but this is my best club99 sale for a while. Hope everyone else is doing well too!!

[retrodeb]

They are being bought and sent to someone in Japan. It is a bidding service that ships them out. I sent them to them, then they repack and send out again. If I provide a tracking number, they automatically leave five star feedback. I am loving it and almost fainted when I saw that it went to $223!!! I had a bunch of other sales, too. I had 12 club99 auctions and 11 sold with seven having multiple bids. I am very happy plus I had other stuff that sold to returning customers. I am very excited as it has been slow on ebay for awhile and I have a bunch of new customers.
