We shopped, we yammered, we ate, we giggled. And I can hardly wait to do it again!
I had put my store on vacation the first day I was gone, and then took it back off of vacation Friday afternoon. I'm not sure what happened, but my sales have significantly improved since then. I'm still nowhere near my first quarter average, but I'm doing much better than I had been. Thank goodness.
Some noteworthy sales from the past week:
My hard-won Miche lot has been treating me well. This discontinued Cori shell sold for $29.99 this weekend.

More Miche. Y'all are gonna get so sick of hearing about this lot. These 5 were stained, so I was going to throw them away, but I decided to put them in a lot with Best Offer, just to see what would happen. Imagine my surprise when they sold 2 days later, for 75% of my asking price!

Remember how terrible my Kaya doll looked when I bought her? I got a really low offer on her last week. I counter-offered, but as usual, never heard back. I was thrilled to accept an offer yesterday from someone else.

My American Girl lot has performed stunningly well! To recap, I paid $31 for 3 dolls and a ton of accessories. I have my Kirsten doll left, as well as 5 outfits. To date, I have sold $564.26 worth!!
I baffled at what people buy used converse for! I buy my kid's Converse NEW for $20-25 plus tax, so I never bothered with selling used ones. Hmmm...
ReplyDeleteAll that work fixing Kaya's hair was worth it in the end. And how wonderful that you got to meet Tina in person! Love the photo of you two together.
ReplyDeleteWhat a nice trip getting to meet Tina. Its always nice to actually Put a face with a name. I'm amazed how much you made on the American Girl stuff. Great find!
