Listing challenge!

[unclejunk1]

I did it once before and now again! I like the comment about needing to clean store anyway. I was not so lucky, never used an auction manager or wam. Old fashioned old fool I guess. Even deleted photo's to save space. My goals have had to change. No longer trying to get 300 in thrity days. My goal now is to get back to 267 as quickly as possible. Starting tomorrow at least 15 per day until I get there. Please set a goal for yourself, announce it and update us regular right here. When you commit you are more likely to do it. So here's to you all!

[katandron1]

Well, since I had just upgraded my store from free to level 6 to be able to carry up to 1000 items before the big Market Crash of 2008, I have a little over 200 listings sitting in wam ready to upload to the site. Since you are offering this challenge again I will have not only the listings that I have sitting in Wam, but I will also add enough to have my store stock up to 600 by the end of the month.
Thanks Rick for offering the challenge again.
P.S. Sorry that you have lost all your inventory and photos. Best of luck to you.

[unclejunk1]

I am ahead of my goal!

[unclejunk1]

Finished for the day and still ahead of daily goal.

[katandron1]

Rick,
I think I'm ahead of myself.......have listed 20 or so today. Total number in store is 223 I think. So well on my way to getting to the 600 item mark.
Thought I was gonna be smart and fool Admin.....he sent those emails out refusing to let us refuse the site credit.....Okay be pig headed and stubborn, Upgrade my store to Level 7b, 10k items.....$30.00 for a year....put the rest back in whatever fund it came out of for the site.......he isn't havin it.....advises me to upgrade listings to use the balance........My thinkin I was gonna be smart and fool Admin just caused me to have to be able to fill a 10k item store:eek:

Correction.......229 in store.

[katandron1]

Update.......237 in store........but duplicated 2 listings so really 235.

[unclejunk1]

God I'm getting old, :confused: this is wearing me down and I'm cheating! :rolleyes: Put in post cards today to speed it up. Already had the depression glass photographed so I listed it to get it out of the way. Sells better one piece at a time for folks trying to complete a set. I need to hire someone to get it done, anyone out there work and travel for free? :D Did list a lille new which is something I rarely do. Slow but getting there! :)

[Lanascountry]

I am listing a tiny bit myself, Rick..I gotta go see what yah got!! :D

[Lanascountry]

WOW, Great job, GOOOO Kat..GOOOO!! :D

[unclejunk1]

Hanging in there and will have more old junk listed soon. Meeting daily goals - how is everyone else doing? Don't forget you have to list it to sell it.

[sniperace66]

well i guess iam not doing to bad then i just posted 105 listings in 3 days and iam doing it the old fashin way
by hand :D Almost got all my inventory listed that i had on ebay got like 80 more to go and getting more.

[unclejunk1]

Thats great, just keep it up till you get where you want it! I know what you mean by hand!!!! Takes time and a lot of work. You got four stars in my book!

[sniperace66]

what happen to the fifth star ?? :D

[unclejunk1]

Show me a lillte more and you will get it - I am not that easy! Cheap but not easy! :D

[unclejunk1]

opps, that was supposed to be little!

[piazzapizza]

There was a time over on the bay that I had about 1200 cards listed in my store. Today was first chance I had to relist a lot of the stuff I had lost in the great crash, so back at 70 items now. Plan to get to my Bronze limit of 250 items by month's end. Hopefully, I will start seeing some sales soon, because until I do, I can't justify to myself, upgrading to a silver store with 1000 listings. Haven't even gotten a question from a potential buyer, even though my stuff is getting viewed. 24 in WAM ready to upload tomorrow.

[unclejunk1]

Had that coffee yet? 1200 cards is a bunch, will look good here and much cheaper to maintain. Traffic may be less right now but that will get better. Keep up the listings in slow times and it will payoff later.
Hey People he has cards!!!!:D

Best of luck!

Rick

[piazzapizza]

Definitely much cheaper to maintain, that's why I am here and not on the bay:)

[sniperace66]

well over 170 now and my internet was down yesterday :D is it me or is these posts all blurry :D

Hey unclejunk do i get that 5th star??? :D

[unclejunk1]

How about a big 6. :D

[unclejunk1]

Just gave myself 4 gold stars - getting there! :D

[katandron1]

Rick,
For those of you that are starting from scratch.........
I give you 10 gold stars to start out with.

[piazzapizza]

24 yesterday, 23 more new listings today, up to 117, shooting for that 250 target by end of the month

[rnrgiftsnmore]

Rick,

I lost everything, I inadvertently deleted all 312 auctions from WAM. So had to start back at square 1, as of tonight I am back up to 85. Am hoping to have the rest by the end of the month.

Good luck to all,

[unclejunk1]

Sounds to me like there is some hard work going on. Give yourselves a double pat on the back and five big gold stars! ;)

[rnrgiftsnmore]

Hey Rick,

Been working hard, today is my day off and so far I have 151 listings up for auction. Still working on them, hoping to have 250 before I go back to work, Fri morning. That is my goal for this "weekend".

Let you later what my numbers are....

Phil,

Keep going, you will get there.:cool:

Bidding you success,

[unclejunk1]

Glad to see you are getting them back! I have finally reached a resting point that I will maintain for a couple of weeks before listing more. Got to catch up on things here in the real world. Grass is a foot high. Gutters have to have the last of the leaves removed. Mulch has to be put out. You guys keep it up until you reach your goal.:)

Best of Luck!

Rick

[katandron1]

UPDATE.........354 in store......goal for the month is 600 listed in store.:cool:

[rnrgiftsnmore]

Rick,

Didn't quite make it to my goal, but went from 68 to 234 listings. At least I am where I was before my big Blunder of '08. :o

[unclejunk1]

I took a look at your store and you have some really nice stuff there. Could not help but notice you use Hatteras lighthouse in your logo. I remember photographing it way before they moved it. That was long before digital cameras, was with my first 35MM. Have not been out there since they moved it and wonder if they moved the keepers house too. So far away now. Anyway I liked your store. :cool:

[unclejunk1]

Kathy you are putting me to shame - slow down this old guy has trouble running anymore. A slow canter please. Heart just cannot take it.:D

[katandron1]

Yes Sir !!!!!!!
You will probly catch up and pass me in the next week cause I have some more fencing to start on and a temp gate to put in. Then Mrs. Goldstar and Dusty will have access to the full 5 acres.......No mowing for me this summer :D

[unclejunk1]

Hey Kathy!!

Take a look at the piece of Oklahoma History I listed. Zero hour Bomb Company Reel. You may have seen bunches of these but most people have not. Just kidding about you slowing down. Put on a million.

Rick

[unclejunk1]

Up to 322! Thats 280 more than the 42 I was at. How are the rest of you doing?:)

[sniperace66]

220 items and still going i also have another site that i also list
so if i counted that 1 i did well over 400 items in 2 weeks all
done by hand and my hands about to fall off :D

my goal is to have 500 items by mid may but the way things
are going i dought i make that to many things going on here at
home. but like the entergizer bunny i keep going and going
and going :D

[unclejunk1]

I believe you already have 5 gold stars so I will just have to give out the first Platinum star. When you reach 500 you get a second, 1000 a third but they have to be on this site.

[Lanascountry]

Wow, Kat..That star is GORGEOUS!! :D
Wow..now that was a bit scary..LOL, what would we DOOOO without
each other?? :eek: (I so glad we are here together!)

[katandron1]

Update....427 in store.......goal is 600 by the end of the month...Think I'm gonna fall a little short. But I'll be close.
