Apron Thrift Girl - ReSellers Listing Challenge
Are you ready to accept and take on ATG's - ReSellers Listing Challenge? The first official post will be on Tuesday, October 4th but your listing can begin today!
Do you want to join ATG's ReSellers Listing Challenge?
Here's what I'd like you to do in order to take part in the challenge:
- Comment this Tuesday and tell us your Listing Challenge Goal.
- Add a link to your ReSelling Venue/Store. (optional)
- Begin to List your items - don't forget to tally up your listings since items hopefully will start to sell.
- Grab a Button and spread the word. We want to motivate & inspire.
- Check in every Tuesday until November 1st. Share your progress in the comments.
- Share your link every Tuesday to show us how busy you've been. (optional)
- On November 1st, share whether you've reached your goal and if you wish, share how many of your Listing Challenge items have sold.
My sales from the February listing challenge were phenomenal. I had a personal record breaking month and my sales continued to do well all spring. It really changed my entire business.
All of the work that I accomplished in the challenge last February paid off in ways that I never imagined. The most important thing though is that it left me with a healthy business bank account.
The next 2 1/2 months are the biggest retails months of the year and I want to stay on top of listing. I often find myself distracted by facebook or by the chime of an email. I need this challenge as much as anyone.
I need your motivation.
I need your inspiration.
This challenge is open to any ReSelling venue. My main focus will be eBay.
Will you be joining us on Tuesday?

















I'm IN!! :) I need this challenge, now to just figure out my goals ;)

Great to hear you're bringing back the ReSellers challenge! We had a great experience with the first one you did - building up that inventory really helped months down the road and taught us some lessons on what is possible. Wanted to do this one too, but we're not gonna have the time. But will be watching as you go, and hopefully will get to play in the next one you have.

This sounds like it would fit in with 2 other challenges I'm taking part in. Think I understand ;) I hope so anyway x

yeah I really need to join this my closet is bursting with things to sell!!
although I'm having an identity crisis at the moment...there is a position open at the Waldorf Charter School I helped open---I could work there but my free time blogging time thrifting time would be nil...ugh decisions!!

Excited to join for the first time! I already had a pretty good week (just starting selling again in the beginning of September - I used to sell on ebay and amazon years ago, and boy have those fees increased). I will focus on ebay, etsy and craigslist for this challenge.

I've had my two best months ever on Etsy in August and September so I can't wait to see if my upgraded efforts in October reap benefits!

I am getting my stunning inventory together on eBay as gardenkid . I will do at least my free 50! I have quietly done this in the past, Selene, and this time I am PUBLIC! You keep so many of us motivated and I thank you a bunch!

I'm so excited for this! I am just beginning to try my hand at reselling, I had a great find at the thrift store that jump started me! I haven't listed anything yet so this will be perfect! I cannot wait until Tuesday!

I'm definitely in for this challenge. :) Can't wait!

I want to join the challenge but don't know what to do. I did list 4 auctions on eBay today to start off.

i'm so excited to do this! does anyone have any suggestions as to how to package artwork-- i feel i have alot of selling potential in that area but i am hesitant because of not knowing how to ship--any thoughts would be greatly appreciated!

Cute new button, I love the little critter, did you draw him?
I'm in! This is perfect for me because I've finally left my full time job and I'm working freelance now, so the funds are now essential! I'm going to create my first eBay sellers account and get to work this week along with the team here :)

I will try to list 5 things this month - but more importantly, I need to revamp at least 5 that are already listed! New pictures, better description! My etsy shop is ready for some reconstruction! I'd love to sell one hundred dollars worth of stuff in the next month!
Posted by: Heather | October 03, 2011 at 02:41 PM
Serendipitous! I just found your blog, today. Such fun! I will definitely be joining in.
This month my goal is to list at least 5 new items into my shop (including 1 handmade gift).
I love the collaborative spirit! I'll be blogging about this new venture so please come & read about it. Will check in again, next week!

Whoo! Ok, I'm in too. I haven't sold on ebay yet, but I'll list my pile o'stuff and hopefully make $300 by the end of the month. Now, to break down "list" into the component action items...Thanks for doing this challenge!
Posted by: Kendra | October 04, 2011 at 08:50 AM
My listing challenge is to put 30 new items on to my Etsy Shop. I haven not had much luck with Ebay so I have stayed with Etsy.com.
I do have vintage items on my shop. Some have sold but a few others are still there and they are gorgeous.

Listing at my eBay store is on a roll, so I'm giving myself a listing challenge for my Etsy store, VintageHippieChick. My goal is to list 10 new vintage items by November 1st. Thanks, Selena!
Posted by: Sandi Garcia | October 05, 2011 at 12:44 PM
I'm in! I'm starting with small goals. I just sat down and *really* assessed my time commitments and feel that a goal of 75 items listed between eBay & Etsy, 35 sold and $100 earned will be a good way to start the ball rolling. I'm glad to be in such good company!
