I HATE CHANGE! Today, a few moments ago, I shut down my eBay store, tt SECOND GO ROUND by teptithings13. It was a great ride! There were times in my singlehood when I made $2000 extra a month selling used jeans……on top of my regular daytime job. And it gave me something to do. I’d get up early of a morning and measure and post. I’d come home after work and measure and post. never watch TV. I’d garage sale on Fridays and buy everything I thought I could sell. My house became a warehouse, though very organized. I worked, went to church to worship and give thanks, I had my own business, loved my dogs and danced at least 3-4 times a week.
Then God blessed me with my husband. A wonderful traumatic change after 16 years of singlehood. Life became sooooo full with so much to do, yet I kept plugging along buying and selling. I will have to admit I spread myself thin….you can’t tell by my body….but I just could not post as many things daily as I used to do. It takes a system to build your eBay business, takes consistency…takes specifically allotted time.
So spring comes and there’s flowers to plant, there are rooms to repaint because I’ve drug more things home from garage sales and thrift stores, there are cards to play with precious friends, road trips to take…….
Everything changed. I sold over $89,000 worth of jeans and now buyers, including me, buy spray on jeans. The market place changed, I didn’t.
It’s taken me all week everyday to delete my store, print reports, check all the fine print to position myself to close down this morning on, of course, the 13th. A tremendously sad moment in my life. I was soooooo good at what I did……I did all the 100 different details….my posts were consistent works of art…..I sought knowledge…I improved…I fine-tuned. I was a TOP-RATED POWER SELLER at 100%. Here’s to a cup of coffee and nostalgia…….and tears. Thank you for the read.
