Welcome back to the what sells on eBay series!
November was a pretty good month for my store and I guess that would be because of the time of year. Everyone is online shopping!
I was able to get more items listed this month, but still not as much as I'd like. I'm definitely not going to hit my goal of 1,000 listings by 2020, but my sales are going strong so it's hard to grow my store when so many things are selling.
I think I've decided this is going to be the last post I do like this. I'm going to keep doing a blog post each month, but instead of sharing the break down for every item, I'm just going to embed the youtube video in the posts and share the monthly numbers.
I knew I wouldn't be able to do a breakdown for each item forever since it will end up taking me forever as my sales go up, but I think I might try putting more work into the Youtube channel. Just to give you an idea, this post took me probably 10 hours to create because of all the details.
I've decided to start a new challenge for eBay! I'm going to go find some change in a parking lot and see how much I can grow it by buying something with it and flipping it on eBay.
I've been wanting to do this for a while but haven't gotten around to it. Oh, I've got a pretty big announcement to make this month also… My wife is expecting our first baby!!
I know a lot of people make savings accounts for their kids, but I'm going to take it a step further. I'm going to create a separate eBay account for the parking lot change challenge and throw all of the profits into a bank account for our future kids. This is going to be fun!
Numbers for the month:
