I hope your family has had a blessed holiday season. December found itself to be a very busy month, which is why I haven't posted much. Right now I'm enjoying the time with family as January is a crazy month in our house. Here's a quick update on the Ebay front. My sales have been great, even the the week of Christmas which I expected to be slow was a strong week for me.
Next week my goal is to start posting again. As of right now, I just want to enjoy the week. I've been working on some new ideas to add some new content to this blog.
Thanks to anyone who has written me with kind words. It motivates me to keep this blog going.
Have a great New Year!

Tights
If your a mom of girls, you know how important tights are. On church days, tights are a staple in our house. We usually wear them from October through April. Recently I was looking to update out stash, so I headed over to Ebay to see what I could find. I was very surprised how much used tights were selling for. I often find tights in the Goodwill bin and usually can get them at garage sales around .25. In the past, I have passed up sizes that weren't ours, but I think it's time to start a new collection.
I decided to test out a few pairs to see how they do. I listed a pair of Baby Gap tights and a pair of Gymboree tights. One was a pair I had picked up from the Goodwill outlet, the other was a pair that I was going to just giveaway to someone. I listed both pair last month during one of the free or penny promotions and they both sold with multiple bids. I had free shipping on both items, so my profit was a little less, but I still cleared between $2.50 and $3.00 a pair.
There are alot of resellers that wouldn't mess with such a low money maker. No, they aren't going to make you rich, but they are a cheap buy and seemed to be a easy turn around. My plan is to lots with 3 or 4 pair and hopefully resell them for around $15.
Would you bother selling an item with a small return?
