Our last auction of the month ended today. We sold 5 items for a total of $108.48. Not bad at all since we did it very casually and made no serious effort at all.
I was a little disappointed with today's auction since there were 7 watchers and it ended with only 1 bid. I was hoping a few of those watchers would be competing at the end and boost the price.
Of course, I know from experience that with a little effort, we can do far better. My best month ever on ebay I took in nearly $3,000. I've been training DW how to do ebay and a couple of the sales were hers, so she's getting the hang of it. I'm sure we'll gradually ramp up the number of items we post. I'm going to set a goal of $200 in sales for April, nearly double this month. That should give us something to shoot for and still be easy to accomplish.

Will you explain what you mean when you say '...we did it very casually and made no serious effort at all' and '...with a little effort we can do far better.'
Thanks.

So when I say that with a little effort, we could do better, I mean that if we really got serious about it and planned ebay time into our weekly schedule, we could list a lot more items and make a lot more money.

I do browse eBay; I just haven't made a purchase although I do plenty of other online shopping.
