Easy Garage Sale

I've been getting fabulous deals at garage sales this year - perhaps the economy is part of the reason for this wonderful garage-saling, which I'm happy to take advantage of - and of course, hope it helps other in this crazy time. However, I'm far too lazy to have a garage sale - I simply don't want to get it all together at the same time, sit around and be around lots of people for lots of hours (I shop for 1-2 at a time, and usually only neighborhood sales) . . . anyway, I'm taking advantage of eBay and Craig's List, instead. eBay now offers up to 50 listings every month with any start price and Buy-it-Now options . . . all for free. There are final value fees (20% of all total moneys transferred if you use Paypal), but if you figure it in, I still think I get more per item. The ones that don't sell didn't cost me anything & I can donate them for the tax deduction. What's even better is that I can have only one item ready at a time . . . ah . . . it's like built-in-pacing with the limit of 50 (which goes faster than you think if you're going through kids stuff). Try it out. You can use the Paypal money to buy gift cards to very practical, budget-friendly places like Target - Dave and I are saving toward some fun techno-gadgets, so Best Buy gift cards are fun - restaurant gift cards we have used for gifts - all of these are available using the paypal money from your easy garage sale :-) Have fun & good luck Spring Cleaning!
