The $10,000 Garage Sale eBay Challenge - Weeks 6 & 7

Posted on 20 June 2007 by Gary H

$10,000 garage sale challenge

There were no $10,000 Garage Sale eBay Challenge items listed for week six of the Challenge because I wasn’t available to ship anything for eight days while fishing in Canada. The Challenge returned for week seven with a total of sixty-three garage sale items that were purchased over a two week period prior to leaving for Canada.

These items ended on Sunday evening with 36 of them selling for a total of $895.83 and a somewhat dismal sell-through rate of 57%.

Because I’m still pretty much in “catch-up” mode from being gone a week, and because of something else that has arisen since my return, I’m not going to list each of the individual sixty-three items. The total of what I paid for them is shown in the table below. Anyone interested in what the individual items were can check out my closed auction on eBay for the week.

Six weeks into the Challenge, here’s what things look like so far.

No Auctions This Week

6/17 $895.83 $88.75 $45.00 $38.10 $38.82 $0.00 $45.08 $640.08
6/24   $27.55 $23.25       $0.00  

Note that there is no mileage expense shown for the auctions currently running this week. That is because these are all either re-lists from the previous week, or items I purchased before leaving for Canada but didn’t have time to list. Therefore, any mileage expense is included in the $45.08 from the previous week.

There are currently thirty-one garage sale items running on eBay. Here’s what they are and what I paid for them.

    Forget eBay - I want to know how the fishing trip went.

    Jim,

    Sorry, but I missed your comment when I first got back.

    The fishing trip was great. Most days, between the two of us, we caught more than one hundred fish. Threw them all back except for two in the morning that we kept for shore lunch, and two more in the evening for supper (we both love fresh fish as you can see. Just add fresh fried potatoes with onions and we are in heaven.)

    The weather was beautiful except for Thursday when we had rain suits on all day.

    Gary
