  • Mary's Challenge

    I am very late to start but this challenge has really got me thinking and I am going to try. Of course my six months will not end until March 24 but that's ok. I went through my closets and listed things on e-Bay. Since these were things I would have donated or tossed I am not using them in the $20 start up. I have spent $9.45 in listing fees so far. It took me forever to get them listed today. ma going to have to get quicker at listing.
    So now my balance is 10.45. I have 2 or 3 more things to list so I will update as soon as there is some movement. Hopefully it'll be up and not down : )
    Here is my attempt at turning $20 into $5000!!!!!

    Sold a pair of sneakers with the BIN button for $20.00 but haven't been paid yet. So at least for now the numbers will eventually be going up Although I won't chnage them until the "money is in the bank"

    I didn't get anymore listed yesterday but I am aiming at a few more today.

        Hate to jinx myself but so far I am happy with the progress. I have scheduled 4 more ads for this afternoon and have 2 more books to list later as well. I am hoping to get an additional 4 tonight after I get home from wor to make it an even 10 starting today.

          I plugged away a little more the other day and have posted a few more items up on e-Bay so that ate up my remaining money in the $20 initial start up. I sold another item so I am up to about to about $40 profit. I need to crunch the number specifically down to the penny which I will do later. Also several other items have bids.

          I am having so much fun with this challenge. I am so glad I stumbled across this challenge.

              After fess & everything I made a $167 profit and have invested $51 into more stock. Now I have to motivate my littel rear and finger to get listing this week. I am dedicating at least 90 minutes to it tomorrow.

              So my Grand total so far is $116.

                Just wanted to add a wuick update. I had several auctions end today. Profits = about $80.00. I spent another $60 on stock. So I have about $110 worth of stock to list and have an overall profit of $136 (give or take a few pennies). I need to now get all this stock listed!
