Default Re: Ebay selling

I've been continuing my side ebay selling. It's strange what will sell and what won't. I put on a brand new, in box race track. Never been opened, in mint condition. I purchased it on clearance last year for $5.00.

I thought, seeing that it was the Christmas season, I'd get something for it. Would you believe it sold for $1.95??? I put a low starting price to get the bidding started, and the bidding never did start until the very last few minutes, at which only one person bid and got it for $1.95. What a rip off for me!!!

Other times I get lucky. I found an Armani suit in perfect condition at the Good Will, purchased it for $8.00 and re-sold it on ebay for $91.00. That was a definite win.

It's just so iffy whether you'll actually make any real money after the cost of listing, the paypal fees, etc. Sometimes you just break even, it seems!

I keep trying 'cause I desperately need the money!
