Clong! Round 3 of Reselling

I have long since stopped kicking myself for hoarding gathering salable items over my many years of thrifting. Even then my stash is paltry compared to some. I am kicking myself for items I thrifted back because I overbought or thought the items had no value.   

I am turning a sharp eye toward my ceramic smalls like salt & pepper shakers and such. Would have never believed that CDs and cassettes would be a good resell. I thrifted back around 50 of them, one I found out was worth around $60-$70. All of my Christmas CDs are listed and the few oddball ones I am willing to part with. 

I almost embarrassed to admit that there is even more home sourcing to be done. I have a storage shed on another property that I know contains Halloween costumes, African American rag dolls, patterns, pictures. 

Round three of listing means 150 total active items as of this post.  My ultimate goal is to eliminate my credit debt and to contribute to my savings. Maybe I could reward myself with a long-promised trip if I save up enough. I figure for each post, even if I made $1 (which more likely is $5-$10 for each quarter to $2 invested), I am $1 ahead. 

Thank God for Joann's, the one retailer allowed to be open that has provided me a sense of normalcy. I believe I wandered aimlessly on my last visit. I didn't want to leave. Bought the kitty cat Paris quilting cotton what was left on the bolt. Picked that print up and put it down from my last visit so I was glad the remnant was there.

Admitting to finding a basketful of remnants, I organized them while I was on a gotomeeting for work. These should be the last of the pleasant surprises I am stumbling across in my home sourcing. 

Best news of all, Ebay has extended their 50k fixed listings for free through July! That means I will be breaking into that storage shed. It also fills in the extra time in isolated quarantine. 

Gardening update: Over 20 of my tomato plant seeds have sprouted and are already hardened off. Much better rate of germination on my latest method. 

No thrifting update, I view online auctions wistfully. Sometimes I  watch an item, but then let it go by. I do wish I bought this peppermint candy quilt last year. Now I am going to have to make the darn thing myself some day.
