To the Point...

Just saw this on latenight-coffee.com and it made me smile. I couldn't not share.

I got a lowball offer for this skirt earlier this week.

I counter-offered with a so-so price that I would have been okay with, but not overly excited about. But someone bought it for my full asking price today! I had this one on Pinterest. I wonder if the buyer saw it there?  Anyone know how I can tell?

Back in December, I bought a New York & Company suit. When I got it home, I realized the jacket and the pants were two different sizes. I split it up into two listings. I sold the jacket last week, and I sold the pants this week. So don't be too discouraged if you find yourself in the same situation. You can still make it work.

I'm dumping all of my kids' old soccer uniforms at auction this week. They're used, with some light stains, pilling, snags, etc... but I'm hoping someone will want them for practice uniforms. When our kids were in soccer, it drove me crazy trying to make sure their uniform was clean for a Saturday game, after they'd been practicing in it all week. After the first year, it was a relief to have that spare uniform from the previous year. The next year, we had even more spares. So hopefully someone will want them. I honestly couldn't care less how much I get for them. I just don't want to throw them away. We shall see...

I stopped in at Salvation Army yesterday after my doctor's appointment. I found enough Captain Underpants books to list as a lot. I'm listing those tonight, fixed price. I'm not sure how well they'll do. I only have $2 in them. Surely I can make a decent profit from them. If all else fails, I'm sure my 8 year old BOY would like to have them. Because boys are just like that...

We let the beautiful weather this week disrupt our schoolwork, so now we're stucking doing a partial day tomorrow. Yuk. But just a partial day. Hopefully we'll be done by lunchtime, because we have a family bike ride planned. The first of the year - hooray!

My listing just keeps getting pushed further and further to the bottom of my to-do list.... But that's ok. This gorgeous weather will be gone soon enough (boo hoo), and I'll get back to the grind then.
