Monday MoneySavers

October 25, 2010

This week, was another weekend where I didn’t go out and hit the garage sales. I hosted the boy’s birthday part(ies). Yes Multiple parties in one day.
Neil was from 11-1p/m and Samar’s was 2-4.
I rented a bouncy house and cotton candy machine

Everything went off well. Except I was exhausted. I think I was asleep at 9. I NEVER fall asleep before midnight so that was an indication of how tired I was.

Nevertheless I did thrift on Friday, where I walked around the thrift store looking for something that will go ka-ching on Ebay. Nothing! Then I saw the familiar looking orange-flame color so prevalent in Le Creuset. With my heart beating, I turned over the pot and saw the le Creuset Made in France

Le Creuset Petite Au Gratin Dish Stack of 3 dishes

Bought for $3, sold for $30 within 2 hours of listing.

My biggest ebay seller this week.

Boo doll from Monsters Inc

Brand new in her box. Bought for $3.99 and sold for hold your hearts $79. I know. People are insane. Now these dolls apparently are highly collectible. Especially one in brand new condition. The other were listed for $125 and $185 with no buyers.  I listed her for $89 and got an offer within 2 hours. Should I have held onto her, hoping for more $$? I was texting a friend J(who  needs to  update her blog, who I also got hooked on selling on Ebay) back and forth about this. Her line about bird in hand and bush convinced me to accept the $79 offer after 4 hours?  What if the buyer of the above doll turned around and sold it  for $200,would I be kicking myself? Or should I be happy with my huge profit margin.I generally accept most offers because I like to pad my paypal account.What’s your take on this

PS;I made Top rated seller and Bronze seller after 3 months of selling.. Woohoo Me!
