Today I sold this wetsuit for $10 on Offer Up to Wendy 20's woman who said she is going to Catalina island and needed a one-time use wetsuit. We are the same size so i told her it should fit her perfectly. On Temu, I bought a new wetsuit and intially I was going to discard & dump this old wetsuit but I figured to try selling it and it sold.

On Monday, I listed this $39 Laserlyte for Hi-Point hand guns and it sold the next day on Tuesday. About 6 years ago I think I paid $69 for it. It mounts on the trigger guard of a gun and aims a red laser at the target. My next project is to sell the Hi-Point hand gun which is a 380 ACP caliber. Actually, Long Beach police is holding a gun buy back in June where they are giving $150 gift cards for hand guns which I hope to trade in my gun for the gift card. Later I would buy a Ruger LCP 380 Max for $325 which is a very small 2.75" pocket gun. The Hi-Point 380 is heavy tank of a gun.

Listed last night a lot of foreign currencies for $5 and sold it today. Not sure if I sold it for too cheap but oh well, it is already shipped and gone.

QuarterMillionMan I'm disappointed in your Gun Buyback / Wish List posts. I thought for a second you'd found buy a firearm for $300 and sell it for $400 x infinity sort of situation.

Actually it is really interesting that they list "Ghost Guns (Guns with no serial number)" I'd be willing to bet if you walked in with a firearm minus a serial number (excluding home made) you'd have a problem. If you sell a homemade firearm my understanding was you had to mark it with a serial number, but not if for personal use.

I tried guns dot com and we buy guns online. The 1st one offered me $55 the 2nd one offered me $50 for my Hi-Point .380 semi-auto pistol. They provide the shipping label to ship the gun to them. I politely declined and will wait for the gun buy back on June 27 in Long Beach. I'm expecting long lines and I hope they don't run out of those gift cards. I guess they want to get ghost guns off the street.

Today sold this surf trunks for $15 plus buyer paid $8 shipping. Disneysteve where you at, this site misses you.

Today was Long Beach police's gun buyback day where I surrendered my Hi-point .380 pistol and got a $100 Amazon gift card. The advertisement said $150 for a working pistol which mine's was brand new and I never even fired it but I'm happy with the $100 Amazon gift card. Prior to today's gun buyback, I tried 2 online gun dealers and they offered $55 & $50 respectively which I politely declined. Now I'll be shopping for a pocket pistol .380.

is that cheap or expensive?

$55 for an Ariana Grande perfume feels pretty reasonable, especially compared with many designer fragrances that easily cost over $100. If you're thinking about trying new scents, I’ve found the perfume com phone number useful because it explains fragrances, gift sets, travel sprays, ordering, shipping, returns, and account options all in one place, so it’s easy to compare before buying.

Since I've jumped back to the site, I figured I should give an update here.

I am still selling on ebay though I have pulled back quite a bit. Our daughter started selling on her own back in December and I shifted a lot of my focus to helping her build her business and learn the ins and outs of ebay. Now that she is doing it pretty independently with only occasional input from me, I've been trying to maintain listing one new item every other day. I've been consistent with that since the end of July. Sales are steady, just less than before when I was more active. So far for Q3 I've only grossed about $1,900.

I've almost entirely stopped selling china to Replacements. It was fun but it was also a lot of work. Since I started with them, I've taken 5 or 6 road trips to North Carolina to deliver a van full of china each time but I decided I just didn't want to keep doing that. Shipping it to them is the other option. Packing and shipping a few items here and there is fine but I was having to send them multiple cartons of china on a regular basis. That just got to be more work than I wanted to be doing. I plan to drop out of their VIP supplier program at the end of the year so then I will no longer have access to their database to look up values in real time.

For the nearly 30 years I've been selling on ebay, there have been many times when I was more active, less active, and completely inactive. I don't know if my current level will turn out to just be a less active phase and I'll dive back in later or if I'll just keep it as a fun little side thing. It was a nice way to help me transition into retirement but now that I'm settled and I'm comfortable with how our portfolio and cash flow has been since retiring, I guess I don't feel the drive to bring in the extra money anymore.
