I'm on both the radio and TV today!

It’s been a busy day!  I’ve been interviewed twice already this morning!  I was on the radio talking about my upcoming class:  How to plan a wedding on eBay.  And then later the local television station interviewed me about saving money while I was at Goodwill. 
Here I am at our local Goodwill, talking to the reporter about how to find good deals.
The Goodwill interview was planned (the reporter called last night to see if I could do the spot) but since I was there I got a few things to resell on eBay—some Winnie the Pooh wallpaper border and a crewel embroidery kit, and some denim fabric.

Time to Get to Work!

Monday morning--a new week!  Time to get organized and get some things listed!

Look at all these great books I found at the Salvation Army Thrift store last week--I like the prices at SA over the ones at Goodwill.  Hardcover books (here) at SA are 50¢ and paperback are 3/$1.  But GW prices are $2 and $1!  Big difference!  And, I think the overall pricing system at SA is better than GW....

Any sportsmen out there?  Notice those two old Shooter's Bibles?  One is dated 1951 and the other is 1960 (I paid a bit more than regular price for those--even SA knew they were special  LOL).

The shoes?  Oh yes!  Anytime you find good quality (watch for expensive brands, too) leather shoes at a good price, grab them up!  Also, look for dance shoes, larger sizes, and narrow or wide sizes--all will eventually sell!

Look What I Found Last Night!

I made an impromptu stop at Goodwill last night...nothing better to do, right?  I found a few "goodies" that I will try to get listed today.

Puzzles are hard to sell unless they have a unique theme (like aliens!), and look at that cookbook on things to do with a store-bought rotisserie chicken!  The Grinch's Chrismas is a favorite, so even if it doesn't sell this year, I'm sure it will by next year.  And look:  I found another Hippo Birdie 2 ewes mug!  I sold one just like it to someone in Australia just a few weeks ago.  What fun!
