I Didn't Sell it on eBay

Remember how I said I was trying to sell a bunch of clothes on eBay so I can buy new clothes? Well turns out no one wants my clothes :'[

I listed 26 things and only 9 of them sold. And I was hoping to make at least $50 from those 26 things but at the end of the day I only made $12 and some change. SIGH.

I hope I have better luck with the other things I plan to list, I think I will. People tend to buy lots of baby stuff on eBay, and electronics too.

I may just have to end up saving up for my wardrobe. Or buying it very slowly like just a few pieces at a time rather than a large amount all at once and then slowly adding to it.

Selling the Old to Buy the New

I have decided it is time to buy new clothes for myself. I have been holding off on this for a long long time. Partly because I gained 10 lbs with my pregnancy and was hoping to lose it before I bought new clothes and partly because I am really bad about not buying stuff for myself - it makes me feel guilty like I should have used the money for Bear or Anthony. But they have everything they need and I don't think I am going to lose this last 10 lbs anytime soon. So here goes!

I do not have lots of money to spend, so to justify it and to make myself feel a little better, I am selling a bunch of stuff on eBay then I plan to use that money to buy new stuff :]

Right now I have 26 items listed and I plan to list more next week. I don't want to sell too many things at once because that will be a lot to handle when it comes time to ship them all out. I currently have listed a bunch of my old clothes that is too small and in great condition. Next week I am going to be listing random things I do not need like some baby things as well as jewelry and maybe some electronics too.

I have my fingers crossed that I will be able to save up at least $200 toward a new wardrobe. I know that is not a lot when you are buying clothes, but I am a serious bargain hunter! and I plan to start with a little and add to it every month. Once I buy new stuff to wear I then want to sell what I have in my closet that still fits (the stuff that I didn't list on eBay because I still need clothes to wear in the meantime), because I am tired of wearing the same things all the time, some of my clothes are literally still hanging around from when I was in high school! 8 years ago!!! After I sell what's in my closet I then want to add to what I bought. Seems like a great plan! I really hope it works! I currently only have one pair of work pants that I have to wear to work 4 times a week and then I have 4 pairs of jeans but I can only wear jeans on Friday. I have about 10 tops and I have been wearing the same 10 for over 2 years now. So I am PRETTY tired of them! lol And my jacket... well lets just say I have been wearing the same one for four years now and it has 3 giant fraying holes in it, but I still wear it because I could not bring myself to buy a new one.

Anyways, here's to hoping I can re-do my whole wardrobe, not dent my wallet, and not feel bad about it either! I will do a follow up post about the stuff I sell on eBay and the new clothes I buy :]

Have a great Monday!

Recent eBay Steals

For some reason I find it difficult to post while I am in Kissimmee, I think this may be due to the fact that I get super distracted with everything else that is going on. But never the less, because I didn't post Friday, Saturday, or Sunday's entries on the correct day, today (Monday), I will be posting 4 entries +1 extra. Many other weekends may be like this as well.

I am absolutely IN LOVE with eBay! I swear eBay really needs to go out of business before it steals up all of my money!  While I will not be able to purchase any new items from eBay (or anywhere else for that matter) for a very long while, I thought I would make a post about some recent steals that I got. By recent I mean within the past 6 months. I will not have another post like this for a long time. I do admit I can not wait to get financially on track again for more fun eBay bargains!
