I made a little more than that then next month but I don't remember what it was.

In July I made $16 or $17......and my last check was for $30 something so it's improving. Between taxes and the economy it hasn't done very well. I'm going to start selling on e-bay soon because I have several things that I think will do better there.

When Glen and I were in Joplin the other day at a large flea market there we asked about booth rental. We talked to a woman who advised us to bring stuff in in October through December. She thought that they might sell well then. I've got to show some profit or I won't be able to take what I've bought off for a business expense so I've got to get busy!!!

I have some dog clothes and video games that I would like to sell, but don't know without running to the Post Office about the shipping costs. We even bought some books to learn how to sell on ebay, but so far, I haven't read them...lol. I need to get busy too!

You can figure out shipping costs if you have an accurate scale. You just weigh your item in the box....or in your case I would suggest shipping in brown envelopes because it would be cheaper.....then you can figure it out on USPS.com website and print out your postage as well. It's really very easy!! Then you don't have to run to the post office all the time to check on how much it would cost and you can mail right from your own mailbox......no trips to town!!!!
