Week seventeen of The $10,000 Garage Sale eBay Challenge ended Monday evening with twenty-three of the twenty-nine items listed selling fora total of $1099.86. The sell-through rate was 79%.
Garage sales in Grand Forks come to a near standstill over three day weekends such as Labor Day weekend. Rather than stay in town for three or four new sales on Saturday I chose to take a break from garage sales and spent the morning at a flea market and the afternoon digging through a few antique shops.
That means only twenty five of the thirty-seven items listed on eBay this week qualify as Challenge items.
After week seventeen, here’s how the $10,000 Garage Sale eBay Challenge is progressing.
