With the close of last Sunday’s auctions The $10,000 Garage Sale eBay Challenge is officially over.

During the last week of The Challenge, there were nineteen garage sale items listed on eBay. Of these, only nine sold for a rather disappointing sell through rate of 47%. These nine items sold for $213.01.

As I stated in The $10,000 Garage Sale eBay Challenge - Updated a few days ago, there are still a few garage sale items sitting around that will be listed over the next few weeks. Also, many of the items that didn’t sell have been moved to my eBay store. Some of these items will eventually sell but it will take some time and the additional revenue will not significantly affect the overall results of the Challenge.

Here’s how things look after the final week.

In the end, I fell about $2000 short of the goal of $10,000 that I’d set for myself in the five months between May and September. Was The Challenge a success? Not if you look at it from the standpoint of did I, or did I not, reach the goal I’d set. But, there are some lessons that can be taken from this five-month long process and tomorrow we will look at some of them.
