MoreIt has actually been quiet around here. No airplane travel and somewhat local baseball and soccer tournaments. With all this free time on my hands I knew I needed a major project or two.
It made me motivated to re-write my basic eBay course…Six steps to eBay Success. I am about halfway finished and can’t wait to get it all done. It has been a lot of fun to do the research. Here are a few fun facts from the eBay motors section…
eBay reports that a passenger vehicle is sold through the site every 90 seconds. This works out to over a 350,000 passenger vehicles sold every year. Now that is a lot of cars. As of September 2010, more than 3.9 million passenger vehicles have been sold on eBay!
In Q2 (the second quarter) of 2010…
- A Ford Mustang sold every 47 minutes
- A Classic car (20 years and older) sold every 5 minutes
- A motorcycle sold every 7 minutes
- A Honda motorcycle sold every 32 minutes
- A Yamaha motorcycle sold every hour
- A Harley Davidson Motorcycle sold every 32 minutes
- An RV or camper sold every 30 minutes
- A boat sold every 22 minutes!
Do you remember this classic car that I sold on eBay for my ex-husband? He got $1,875.00 for it!
Well, if any of you know me very well, one major project is NEVER enough. So, after watching that amazing clip from Nightline (thank you Queen’s Court members Auntie Suzi & Debbie V for sharing), it has motivated me to make some MAJOR changes with my eBay business!
In fact, I am heading out in a few minutes to drop off a check for my new office space!!! I am totally excited and this is the reason for this week’s feature article, “Has your eBay business grown too large for your home?” Don’t miss it!
Happy Halloween! I can’t believe that it is almost here. I just got an offer on this reindeer costume for a cabbage patch doll. I guess someone wants to dress up their cabbage patch doll for Halloween!
I was asking $29.99 and you won’t believe what I got for it. It was one of the items featured at this year’s Live Boot Camp. With this one sale, it paid for the cabbage patch doll and over 15
outfits!
By the way, the footage from Live Boot Camp 2010 is finished! Jason says that it is the best EVER. I am duplicating discs this week and we should start shipping out the end of this week/beginning of next week. So, for all of you who have pre-ordered, please be watching for it.
Speaking of Live Boot Camp, Live Boot Camper Mandy found a Lladró kitty cat on a shelf in my favorite Goodwill. Now I always go to that shelf first. Last week, I found the most darling polar bear on that shelf.
The footage for my reality show is in the can. We have ten hours to turn into a 30-minute pilot. It has been a blast. Crazy things we have been filming have been selling for A LOT of money. Seems like things are just flying off of our shelves. Auctions seem to have really picked up.
Check out this Tiki lamp that does NOT work. You won’t believe what it sold for at auction.
I hope things are picking up for you also. Christmas is just around the corner. (Did I say that out loud?) Get your stores stocked and ready to sell, sell and sell some more.
