It's a miracle

I finally sold something I’ve had for 10 years on the internet…it has sporadically been on eBay, Etsy, and Bonanza….but always up for sale somewhere on the internet. Finally. I never thought I’d see the day when I could take it to the PO.

Glad I kept faith in the old item….but so glad to see it gone.

Congrats….how much money did you spend in ten years listing it, in the past I have spent about as much listing as an item was worth or more! Doing a happy dance for ya!!! :)

I still made a profit. It was not until the very recent that I sometimes have a listing on eBay that I have to pay for but I never did for this particular item. Etsy, maybe about .60 cents and then Bonanza is free. I paid a 1.07 after tax for the item, sold it for $9 because I have a coupon…

Thanks. Just so glad it sold. That’s the longest one in history

Well Congrats Empress. I had a bit of a miracle just yesterday (although not a TEN Year one like yours). I pulled 4 items from Bonz (that have been listed here for the SAME Price for OVER TWO YEARS) and placed them up on the Auction Site (the Dark Side that I have been trying to Distance myself from by listing here) and THREE of them sold last night on the Dark Side. Something is VERY WRONG here… I mean TWO+ Years here these were parked with no progress. We All need a new venue that gets results.

The best recipe I have found in getting a better chance in sales is to list on more than one site….still, this summer has been grueling.
