http://www.mississippipickers.com/2014_10_01_archive.html
Monday, October 20, 2014. An online selling experiment. After just over a month of importing all of my ebay listings to bonanza.com the most insane thing happened. we sold something. Just when I was beginning to think the whole thing was a waste of time and effort, the ole bonanza monster came through for us. We sold a sweater for 49.95 and I can now report the following selling fees on bonanza for those who might be interested. Cost of listing an item - $0.00. 901% of sale ). Was it worth it? On my last...

Monday, July 13, 2015. Out With The Old And In With The New. If you have been haven't reading my blog you might be wondering why I have so few items in my store being that I am now full time doing this so I thought I would make a little explanation for that for anyone new reading this.

The Mississippi Pickers: May 2015
http://www.mississippipickers.com/2015_05_01_archive.html
Sunday, May 31, 2015. Quitting My Full Time Job and Going Full Time on eBay. I am still a little bit in shock over giving my notice to my former employer, my final day is June 20th. To be honest I'm still wanting to cling to that lifeline but this is an all or nothing deal as once done I can't go back. Not that I would ever want to anyway but they have my replacement in training now so there won't be a slot left to go back to. I'm no slacker by any stretch of the imagination, I routinely outwork 90% of m...

The Mississippi Pickers: April 2015
http://www.mississippipickers.com/2015_04_01_archive.html
Tuesday, April 21, 2015. Protecting Your Ebay Account. Me and my wife are preparing to go full time as ebay sellers and that in itself is scary enough but this will be where the majority of our income comes from so before we take the leap we are thinking about the security of what we are about to do. Well what that means to us is to stay away from very high end brands that we can't authenticate ourselves. Our remaining inventory is rock solid and very low risk items so we feel very good about it. As ...

Thursday, December 11, 2014. Aloha from Biloxi Beach Mississippi. Monday, December 8, 2014. What we look for in the thrift store. Another boring day shopping for treasures?

Those with hardware hanging on them are nice like fossil purses. Leather belts, not leather bonded, real quality leather in good condition. Size 38 or better are more popular. These ...

The Mississippi Pickers: November 2014
http://www.mississippipickers.com/2014_11_01_archive.html
Tuesday, November 25, 2014. High Risk equal High Rewards and High Returns. Now we normally sell in the 20 to 30 dollar an item range and its pretty safe. You keep around $500.00 in the ole PayPal account and your covered for nearly any amount of returns. With $100.00 to $300.00 items selling you need quite a bit more. So I have decided to just sit on the cash until we have about $2000.00 in PayPal so we don't get caught short. Subscribe to: Posts (Atom). The eBay Retirement Experiment. These are the chr...
