How to increase weekly sales? | Selling

In the past year or so I've been going through my mom's old storage unit and trying to sell as much stuff as possible. I know that some items may just not be as desirable as others, but with 900+ listings I just feel like I should be doing better than 5-6 sales a week. I currently have all listing promotions turned on to suggested ad rates, I'm running a 10% discount on all inventory, I renew listings older than 6 months, I have same day shipping, and have a rating of 92%... and even with all that going I'm still only barely increasing sales.Been struggling trying to get rid of all this stuff. I really thought it would be flying off the shelves but wow.. 12 months later and my basement is still full of her stuff. What a reality check. I've poured quite a few hours into this whole operation. I don't want to be "giving it away" but is the answer just me asking for too much money? Are the items just not in demand? Is ebay just not as lucrative as I make it out to be?What are your thoughts? Open to suggestions. In a bit of a slump right now.
