Christmas in July, Selling on eBay

by Lynn Dralle on July 23, 2010

Countdown to eBay Boot Camp Live 2010!!

No dates present

Hi Everyone,

I know you’ve all been reading about what I did in Chicago, but before I had left Palm Desert I locked myself in my office on July 4th and finished my eReport on shipping. It turned out amazingly well. Yeah!!! The shipping eReport is done!

And the weirdest thing was that on July 4th while I was writing the eReport, I sold twelve Nikko Christmastime salad plates for $70.00! It made me realize that it can always be “Christmas in July” when you sell on eBay.

Check them out here.

Christmas is a very lucrative year-round business!

Kathy Flood sent me this email on July 4th with the winners of her jewelry contest:

Happy 4th of July. I’ve been up for an hour checking and double checking to make sure every person who purchased my book, Warman’s Jewelry 4th Edition, has her/his name included in the drawing. Everyone is represented. After I complete the drawing for the red necklace, I am going to do three runners-up for additional jewelry prizes. The winner of the red rhinestones necklace and bonus add-on red rhinestone earrings is …

Linda Martin!
Congrats, Linda!

The three runners-up are:

Terri Crews!
Marie Beiderbeck!
and Carolyn Wright!

Congrats to all of you!

My heart goes out to everyone whose names escaped my clutches. If it’s any consolation, if you bought the book, if you liked it, if you will leave

comments or a review at krausebooks.com and amazon.com (the publisher believes reader comments help sales), I’ll give you an insider’s tip on where to find jewelry. Thank you all! Sincerely, Kathy

Congrats to the winners! And speaking of costume jewelry, lets see how my recent experiment turned out.

If you remember, while I was in Omaha, I spent $60.00 on costume brooches. I don’t think that there is anything really antique in this bunch but I got about 40 pieces (quite a few are signed) and that means I only paid $1.50 each.

I didn’t get all 40 of them listed. I only listed 26. Of those 26, two pieces sold for a total of over $20.00. Not bad!

Here is a link to the brooch that sold for the most.

I can’t wait to get the rest listed and the others placed in my eBay store at higher prices with the or Best Offer feature. I have found from years of selling jewelry on eBay that most pieces will sell from my eBay store. Not many sell at auction, so I am excited with my results so far!

I must thank Kathy Flood and her awesome jewelry teleseminar for getting me motivated. That 90-minute recorded teleseminar is still available for purchase and instant download here.

LIVE BOOT CAMP is filling up, we have ONLY THREE SEATS LEFT for 2010. If you are considering joining us, we recommend that you reserve your spot soon. This one will sell out. Click to read more about my eBay Boot Camp and learning to sell on eBay. We hope to see you there.

Happy eBaying,

Lynn
