Yes!!!

Check out what I sold overnight!!


Meet Nellie. She sold for a whopping $139.99!!! I'm not sure what makes her so valuable, other than she was only made for a couple years, so I guess there aren't as many of her available as there are of the other dolls. But whatever the reason - I'll take it! Now ... this is one of my very rare listings that I don't require immediate payment. I wanted to make it as easy as possible for buyers to buy more than one AG item at a time. The downside of that is that they don't always pay right away. So I'm crossing my fingers that this sale does actually go through.

Here's the recap. I paid $31 for all my AG stuff last Friday. To date, I've sold $259.95!

Speaking of box lots, it's been awhile since I sold any play food. I sold my veggies yesterday, so I'm down to just my chips/fries/onion rings. I have several watchers on them, so hopefully they go soon and I can be done with that box lot.

Recapping that one, I paid $2.99 for them and to date have sold $72.93 worth.

A few other good sales yesterday, and then I have to get my day going.


I mentioned on We Sell on eBay awhile ago that little girls' pink Circo cowgirl boots sell well. A woman had these available on my local Facebook group for $6. I met up with her and bought these as well as a pair of Gymbo boots. These sold within a week or so for $24.99 + shipping! Yes, Circo is a cheapie Target brand, but these have a VERY consistent sell through rate. This is the third pair of these that I have sold, plus a pair of brown and pink ones. Always pick them up when you find them in good condition. She bought them Thursday night and needs them by Sunday. She's in the same state, and she just wrote me that she'd like to pay extra for Express shipping, so we shall see...

I underpriced this set for some reason. But once I heard the buyer's story, I was okay with it. There are none others of this set listed (current OR completed) for me to base my price off of, so for some crazy reason, I listed them for $19.99. Not surprisingly, they sold overnight. The buyer wrote me to let me know that she had bought this set 30 years ago for her daughter, who has since passed away. Last month, her nephew threw the cup and broke it. She was devastated and has been looking for a replacement ever since. It made me feel good to know that I was able to help her out.

I thought these Tevas were absolutely adorable, and if they were my size, I'd have kept them. Fortunately, they weren't. I have enough shoes as it is!  That's the curse of being a shoe seller. :)  These did take a few months to sell, but they finally sold yesterday for my full asking price of $39.99 + shipping.

I guess I'd better go hop in the shower, since I'll be making a special trip to the post office. Yay for deductible mileage....

  2. I am wondering if I could sneak Nellie out of my daughters doll room? I had no idea they had discontinued her! What a great find on the American Girl Dolls! I wish I had been at that sale! Congrats!
