One was the English Spanish version of the classic The Cat in the Hat, the other was There is No Place Like Space. The buyer asked if Pluto was mentioned as a planet in this book. Yes, it does! SOLD!

10:17 AM Luke is still home but its a recovery day. Home schooling in session. He completed his Miwok game assignment. Halfway through his spelling assignment. Still on tap, reading and math facts. He will WANT to go back to school after I’m done with him today!

10:29AM Best Offer of $7.00 on a Classic 7Up glass!

11:00 AM The SF Giants World Series Parade is happening and we are watching on TV! Awesome achievement and the TORTURE is over at least for now! GO GIANTS!

11:30 AM I have 4 packages to ship out. Packing slips all ready. Not too tough to ship. There is one breakable Boy Scout ornament.

1:45PM Time to take a break. All the packages are ready to drop off at the Post Office.

Many auctions ended. Here are a few of the items that sold: Old Apple Powerbook-broken for parts, BMW Music CD sampler, Ceramic Bowl that reads “Got Milk?”, Powerbook docking station. Also sold a Men’s silk Holiday tie.

Day 2

9:34AM Luke is still home from school. I’d like to have him eat a piece of toast to test the waters so to speak. Not sure what I can get done today, but I’ll start with taking some photographs of things I want to put up on eBay today.

12:53PM Luke is now eating toast with no butter and drinking room temperature 7-Up. He’s running a low fever, but better. I still have not listed anything yet today. Doing lots of household stuff instead. I checked the tape from our intro shooting of the footage of the 30 eBay Challenge and it’s blank. I guess my brother Don took mixed them up and took the wrong one back home with him.

12:56PM Accepted a Best Offer for a spongy foam baseball bat. Sales today so far: $2.00! Yikes!

5:00PM I just finished listing 15 items, ranging from Steve Young football photographs to new Wonder Bras in various sizes to an old Chinese Vase and a tool set. Talk about a variety of stuff!

One fun item just sold at auction, a sheet of 4 unused Vintage Apple Computer stickers for $15.50! Wow, they were tucked away under the front page of an old manual. Good thing I looked inside to find it!

Other auction sales today: Wilson Titanium tennis racket sold for $9.99, Electronic Drumsticks from Restoration Hardware sold for $9.99.

Recap from Day 2 of My 30 Day eBay Challenge: 3 sales for a total of: $21.98, listed 15 items.

Quite a variety of types of items, that is for sure!

Day 1

First set back, Luke my 9 year old is home sick. It’s either a bit of stomach flu or a little too much Halloween. The excitement of the weekend is over, but now I have a sick boy on the coach in the living room. Hope he feels better soon!

8:37AM I have sold 3 Nike T-shirts @ $15 each with Best Offer. Just accepted another Best Offer on a Christmas Relish Tray for $20. $65 so far this morning. $3000 doesn’t seem so daunting right at this moment.

I have 6 things to package and ship today. They range from an autographed Tennis Shoe from US tennis star Bettanie Mattek to a collectible bone china Tea Cup by Aynsley. Also sold a giant set of The Littlest Pet Shop toys and game that belonged to my niece Angela. I’ll be splitting the profits with her! I know she’ll be happy to start adding money towards her Washington DC trip next spring!

10:10AM Received another Best Offer, this time for $10 for a wireless HP computer keyboard. Still have 2 more packages to ship. Luke is finally asleep after a few more bouts to the toilet.

11:30AM Finished the last label for the last paid item. Luke is still throwing up. It’s not going to be a productive listing day. I want to give him some 7-Up, but we’ll see if it stays down. I am out of tape, bubble wrap, peanuts, and printer paper, but I have lots of boxes. I need to switch gears and get ready for my The Basics of Selling on eBay class tonight. I have internet and a projector for the computer.

1:36 PM Received another Best Offer on a Halloween Pumpkin Spice Scented Candle.

I’ll take it! Getting package ready to hand off to the Postman as he drives by. Up to $79.99 in sales so far today. A couple of auctions end today.

6:15PM Getting ready to teach my eBay class. Looking forward to a small group! Should be a blast! Talking eBay!!!!

9:45PM Only one student for the class, but a really nice gal from Tiburon. She’s excited to begin selling.

Day One Recap: 2 additional auctions ended at $9.99 each plus $79.99 in Best Offers. Total sales: $99.97. Good day! No listings because of sick boy home from school. Shooting for getting lots of listing done on Tuesday! Stay tuned.
