Stopped in at a little shop in Willcox, AZ and they had this amazing thing out front! 😆😆😆

Would you buy it?

Picked it up for $20. Ebay sales are showing around $80-120ish.

This is what can do to someone.

This time last year, that 90 total was $15k+ with an average of 500+ active listings. That cha-ching notification sound going off several times a day. I had a mental break mid-February and shut it all down after canceling several orders. My eBay account once rated as Top Seller, is now below standards.

Sometimes life is just more than we can handle....but you have to remind yourself that you're worth it. It's hard.....trust me, I completely understand. These past few months have been the hardest times of my life, but I took the steps to reach out. I messaged friends, got into therapy, let others in.

So here I am....3 months later. I am strong....I am determined....I will succeed again!

Don't sleep on used flatware. You can pick it up at thrift stores for around $.29 a piece at Goodwill.

I found a complete set of Oneida Community Brahms flatware. Here is just one order of 7 forks. So at $.29 each, I cleared around $77.86 after COG, Fees, shipping, and Multi Item discount.

Thanks to procrastinating my move, I've had to delist all my items across all marketplaces for the time. While this is just temporary, I'm basically restarting all over.

I thought I had a plan, but instead of taking the past 2 months to properly execute it, I last minute packed/moved in like 3 days. This picture was taken before even more was added. Its a 10x30 that you can't even walk into.

Thanks for the reminder!!! 🤣

You win some, and you lose some. My friend who picked up a fridge I recently won was unloading some scrap appliances, the wind caught my fridge just right, and body slammed it.

No big deal, right? It's just a fridge....it was a SubZero 690 that I purchased at the amazing price of $9. 😭😭😭

In working condition, easily $1.5-2k for a super quick flip. Even if it didn't work, the drawers and shelves are $75+ used. Oh, well. Get it on the next one.

Looking at planning a cross-country Goodwill Outlet Road Trip in the next month or 2.

Goodwill Outlets (aka The Bins) are a little different for those who don't know. These locations are generally like large warehouses where blue bins (which I think are approx 12*4*2) are filled with donations and you pay by the pound instead of a set price per item.

I'd be leaving Tucson, AZ, and heading east and probably going as far as Tennessee, before heading back to Tucson via a different route to hit some other locations.

Who has a bins near them that they've been to? Was yours any good? What do they charge?

Every one of those totes is filled with toys.

There are sealed and loose action figures, cars, playsets, collectibles, Funkos, etc

I've only gone through about of them to get listed. Since I'm in the process of moving, I've been taking a lot of inventory from the house to storage. So, I never realized I had quite so much! Lol
....and there's still so much more at the house still!

So....hadn't even planned on stopping at Goodwill yesterday as I'm in the process of moving. I had to meet someone and just happened to be right there, so I figured I'd stop in.

Found a Reed & Barton bowl stamped Sterling. Paid $3.99, worth approximately $254 in scrap.

Was a good day.
