GONE POSTAL


Well, Teri and I decided to try something different with our Ebay apparel business. Since January, we have faithfully been listing weekly about 20-25 items with a success rate each week of about 85% of all items being sold. The mundaneness of it all prompted us to think about aborting weekly in lieu of monthly. Well, they ended last nite--100 items listed, 96--yes, 96% sold--that's the good news. Now the bad news-- we have gone postal! Of the 96, 2/3 were paid within the first 18hrs, so we have been having a postal party all day today. The first trip at 7:30 am delivered 20 to the USPS. There will be an evening trip of another 25 and then tomorrow at noon USPS comes to us here at the house to pick up another 20 or so! All points of the globe involved as we sold to Australia, Canada, Singapore and South Korea. I think we might like it better this way, but still not certain. Until next time....
