And that’s a wrap on another week of reselling! 📦

11 packages heading off to their new homes today!

After all these years, there’s still something so satisfying about seeing a nice stack of outgoing orders.

Of course, the sourcing and treasure hunting are a whole lot more fun than the packing and taping! 😂

Hope everyone has a wonderful Friday and a great weekend!

How are sales treating my fellow resellers this week?

Church Rummage Sale Finds — PART 1!

We recently stopped at a church rummage sale and WOW!

The prices were absolutely amazing!

And this sale was HUGE!

Vintage furniture, shelves of books, dishes, crafts, unexpected treasures, clothing, shoes, housewares, collectibles, and bargains around every corner!

This was one of those sales where you just HAD to keep looking because you never knew what you’d find next!

And yes, we came home with a LOT of goodies! 😂

Stay tuned for Part 2 from this sale!

There’s PLENTY more to see!

Are you a fan of good old-fashioned church rummage sales?

What’s the best bargain you’ve ever found at one?

I’ve heard of putting your best foot forward, but this eBay buyer took it a little too literally! 😂🦶

Yes, a buyer actually sent me this photo!

Apparently, documenting a potentially damaged item requires including their entire foot and half of their leg! 😳

The buyer opened a return request claiming their vintage director’s chair replacement canvas arrived broken, complete with photographic evidence.

Here’s the interesting part: Those folds that apparently caused concern are actually part of the construction! The canvas is designed with sewn loops and sleeves that accommodate the chair’s wooden supports.

A short time later, the buyer closed the return request without explanation.

After 27 years on eBay, I am still see something new every now and then! 🤣

Fellow resellers, what’s the funniest or strangest photo you’ve ever received from a buyer?

This is an especially heartbreaking story from a community not far from ours.

Two young lives lost, and three others critically injured.

So many families and lives forever changed. 💔

I know this isn’t my usual type of post, but sometimes there are things more important than what we normally share here.

After hearing about this tragedy, I had another conversation with my own grandson, who is a new driver.

And I hope other parents, grandparents, and family members will do the same.

Please remind your young drivers that getting behind the wheel comes with enormous responsibility.

Slow down.

Put the phones away.

Wear your seat belts.

Never drive under the influence of alcohol or drugs, or ride with someone who has been using them.

Don’t overload a vehicle with passengers, and remember that driving late at night brings additional risks.

And please, know where your teenagers are, who they’re with, and how they’re getting home.

Make sure they know they can ALWAYS call you for a safe ride, no matter the hour or circumstances.

We can’t protect our kids and grandkids from everything, but we can keep having these conversations.

Sometimes the reminders that seem repetitive are the ones they need to hear most.

My deepest condolences to these families and everyone affected by this unimaginable tragedy. ❤️

Two Mattawan High School students were killed and three others were critically hurt in a crash early Sunday morning in Texas Township.

Not a bad way to start the week! 📦

Eight sales over the weekend!

🛍️ 6 on eBay
🛍️ 1 on Vinted
🛍️ 1 on Depop — our very FIRST Depop sale! 🎉

We’ve been selling on eBay for over 27 years, but we’re still exploring a few newer platforms.

I have to say, I’m already impressed with how quick and easy Depop makes the shipping label process!

It’s always fun to try something new and celebrate those little milestones along the way.

Are you selling on Depop?

If you are, what has been your experience been?

These boys are giving it everything they’ve got! 🖤🧡🖤

Nothing quite like high school football and an amazing marching band under the lights! 🏈

Reseller friends, have you noticed anything different with your eBay views lately? 👀

For the past two days, every new listing I’ve posted has picked up several views within seconds—sometimes five or six before I even finish checking it!

Usually, some of mine will even sit at zero for a bit!

And yesterday’s views are still there today.

I’m cautiously encouraged, but curious—is anyone else seeing this, too? 🤔

Let’s spread a little reseller love today! ✨

One of the things I really enjoy about the reselling community is connecting with others who share our love of treasure hunting!

Today I want to give a little shoutout to Jamazing Finds, a fellow Midwest reseller with a fun and growing page!

There is SO much treasure out there - more than enough for all of us, and I believe in cheering each other on along the way! ❤️

If you love thrifting, vintage finds, and the thrill of discovering something unexpected, stop by their page, take a peek, and show them a little love!

Let’s support one another — because a little kindness and encouragement can go a long way! 🥰

Now THIS is a blast from the past! 🧡

A vintage Rival Crock-Pot!

I know I had one very similar to this years ago!

But ever since watching “This Is Us”, I can’t look at one of these old Crock-Pots quite the same way! 😳

Anyone else immediately think of that show when they see one?

One of my favorite estate sale finds is vintage American Girl books! 📚

I was especially happy to find several Pleasant Company editions among these books.

Pleasant Company originally created American Girl back in 1986, before Mattel acquired the company in 1998.

We’ve had wonderful luck selling these books over the years.

They’re consistent sellers for us, and finding so many in very good condition was an added bonus!

Did you or your children grow up reading American Girl books?
