Makin' Money

I've been busy this week. Busy putting stuff up for auction on Ebay, listing 10 books for sale on Amazon, as well as one item on Craigs List. I have already sold one book on Amazon (I'm stoked about that!!) and my Ebay auctions close Sunday and Monday. If my ebay listings go well, then I will have gotten rid of most all the baby girl clothes up to about 12 months. I still have a bunch of boy clothes to go through and list, most of those at 24 months/2t (I sold a lot of Caleb's clothes last year on Ebay). As I have mentioned before, my hope for selling this stuff is two-fold.

1. I want to get rid of boxes of baby clothes that are taking up valuable space in the garage and closets. I do not intend to need them at all, ever, again! *big grin*....I love my kids, but I think I have enough.
2. I am planning a trip to see friends in Michigan over the Memorial Day weekend and I need to raise some more moolah! (isn't Ryan a great guy to let me go away for the weekend??)

So, I have high hopes for my auctions this weekend. I did my best to plan ahead and have my auctions close on Sunday (Ryan says that is the best time to have an auction close. Because people are not at work and glued to their computers looking for great deals??? I hope so!) My first attempt at posting my auctions this week was not so well thought out. Again it was my intention to have them end on Sunday, so I did a 7-day listing. The problem was that I listed them on Monday, so the auctions will close this Monday and missing the Sunday crowd. The second group I listed I did better in my thought process and timed them to end on Sunday, a couple hours before the Super Bowl (I thought this was genius!) . I will see how well this plan worked come Sunday around 1:00. I'm so excited to see how it all goes, although the number of visitors to my listings is not as high as I would like. Maybe come this weekend the number will grow?

Ryan has also told me about two places online to make money by filling out surveys etc. I looked into both places today and they seem reputable. I'm not sure how Ryan knew about them, but when he gets home I will go over it again with him and just double check the legitimacy. If all is good then I will register and hopefully make some more cashola!

So.........come on Ebay!...........go Amazon go!!! Mama needs to get away!
