Another ebay auction completed.

I have 15 minutes until I need to wake my oldest for school. My 9 month old decided she didn't want to sleep last night and that combined with staying up late with my ebay business has left me in an "out of body" state of mind.

I just completed another auction on ebay and it went rather well. I sell mostly children's clothes and clothes my husband and I are finished with. It suprised me to see when I first started out just how much stuff I had just laying around the house to sell on ebay to earn some extra income. It has become a full blown addiction now. Having a baby in the house helps, as she is constantly growing and all her gently used clothing gets sent to ebay.

Thrift shops, such as Goodwill, etc...they have become my best friend. I can turn about a 400% profit from a great find at a thrift shop or gargage sale. I have found that I do better (most of the time) at thrift shops instead of garage sales. Neighborhood sales are better, especially with two little ones in tow. Prices at garage sales aren't wonderful anymore it seems. They seem to require you haggle or talk down the prices, which I am not good at doing but plan on implementing at my next neighborhood sale.
