Great sales this morning

I actually got out the door early this morning. There was an estate sale right in town at 8 a.m. -- and I got there by 8:30 and walked out with 3 big boxes. Some wonderful leather and cloth gloves, jewelry, fabric and patterns and Christmas stuff. There was a large church sale -- advertised as more than an acre of merchandise and there certainly was. It was a bit overwhelming and I actually wish I had gotten to that one first. I found the most wonderful set of glasses -- see right. A lot of cute vintage planters a set of barkcloth drapes - 6 panels. A bunch of nice purses and some cool lace-up zodiac boots. My eBay area is full to bursting. My goal for this week is 8 listings a day -- 16 on Sunday and Monday.

Busy Shipping Day

It sure feels like a Monday -- I have a lot of shipping to do! The 99 cent sale was moderately successful -- I sold about 30 items, about half of them at 99 cents so buyers will be happy and I cleared out some things. A lot of combined items though so at least shipping will be less trouble. I have 20 packages with about 36 items to power through this morning -- thank you multiple bidders. A lot to do today -- and I've already wasted most of the morning on this dumb machine -- so off to work.

I love my Post Office

People complain about the post office, but mine is great. Believe it or not, this pic was taken at high noon on the Friday before Labor Day. My "lovely" minivan is the only non-employee car in the lot. Plus it is only about a mile and a half from home and all the people are nice and know me by name -- and I them. It is kind of like having co-workers in this often solitary business. The hours are the only problem -- only open until 4:30 on weekdays and 11 a.m. on Saturdays. Though they didn't slam the gate on me when I arrived at 11:02 on Saturday with 2 packages -- even when I admitted that I'd been sleeping until 10. Now that's a good P.O.
