My New Set of Chef’s Catalog Nesting Bowls!

News & Events No Comments »

My New set of Nesting Bowls is certainly coming in handy, I’ve used them non stop since Christmas Morning!  This gift was another one from Hubby that scored highly. :)   He accidentally broke my other set while he was putting them away.  He dropped one, and it landed on the others causing a chain reaction of each one shattering inside one another :(   It was a sad day, but he made up for it.  :)

These Colorful Earthenware Mixing Bowls are perfect, they are dishwasher and microwave safe.  It includes 8 bowls – Yes I said E-I-G-H-T. Definitely a multitude of uses for the cook in the house!

I checked these out in my “Re-eBay” research, but I came across something far more interesting.  I don’t particularly like selling breakables online.  I’d rather not ship them, if I can avoid it.  However, I came across a ton of Vintage Fiesta Ware nesting bowls that are selling for mid $100, used.  I also saw Pyrex and Tupperware brands selling for mid $50’s and up.  Something to keep an eye on for sure! ;)

Happy Selling!

How Was Christmas? Any Goodies To Brag About?

News & Events No Comments »

Ooo, Ooo – Me, Me, Me!!  How was your Christmas?  It’s fun to share what goodies we gave and received.  I am super excited about mine!  Hubby did good!  Thoughtful gifts are my favorite.

Some back ground information:

Months and months ago I said good-bye to my 12 cup coffee pot.  It was an old friend.  Only a coffee lover would understand the connection between their coffee pot and a good reliable cup of joe in the morning.  I used it so much between house parties and myself that it literally began to fall apart and crack.  Making it dangerous to use.  So, with the thought of someone getting seriously burned – I trashed it.. :(  

I hadn’t gotten a chance to replace it, because as a coffee lover, I’ve been really picky about my coffee pots in the past.  I pulled out my old stand by – a nice 4 cup Mr. Coffee Pot that I would use until the perfect replacement came my way. :)  

Of course, being a mom, wife, housewife, business owner, expecting a new baby, eBay addict…well, you get the picture – time just passes.

Behold…Christmas morning, as I am handed a big box – as I unwrap with care, revealed is the Cuisinart DTC-975 Programable Auto Brew 12-Cup Coffeemaker! SWEET!

 

Without further hesitation it was out of the box, and on the counter and in one swoop of the ground coffee, we had a perfect pot of Joe!  Let me add, the carafe kept that coffee HOT just about ALL day.  Not warm, but HOT.  As soon as it’s done brewing, it shuts off and the carafe has proven to be reliable.  It’s definitely something that I am going to have and recommend for a long time. 

Hubby certainly did his research on this one and I am SO glad!  Check out the Cuisinart DTC-975 Programable Auto Brew 12-Cup Coffeemaker!  You won’t be disappointed!

With the eBay junkie lurking inside of me, it’s just in my nature to go on eBay to check the resale value.  I can’t help it!  Only an eBay addict would understand.  I found one selling for $98, new and the color was white.  The more popular color is black, but I didn’t find the exact model.  Not too shabby if you received one as a gift and need to “Re-eBay”!  (I don’t call it “Re-Gift”). ;)

Have A Holly Jolly Christmas!

Tis The Season!

How are your eBay sales going?  Mine have been quite steady, and it’s such a great, great feeling. :)

November was a really nice month for me.  I sold a great deal of items right from my store, keeping my listing fees down.  I also purged a bunch of my daughters gently used toys and made quite a bit of extra spending money that will go towards her Christmas pile.

It’s a great idea to focus on the seasons, as well as what you like to specialize in on a regular basis.  While you won’t be able to know what everyone is looking for on eBay – you can certainly expand your costumer base by offering a little more.
