how many days are the "fourth of July"?

Sales fell off the cliff Wednesday and I'm rather concerned that it will be a long weekend of poor sales.

Re: how many days are the "fourth of July"?

well I am sure many will have 4 day weekends so they may have planned events through the weekend and probable just as many will have more time to do whatever including shopping on the internet.

 

Good Luck Selling!

2 Sales this week on 3 venues so I think many are enjoying the holiday and nicer weather. No ambition to source or thrift tho - so going thru things in the house to see whether they go to a garage sale pile or to put up here or elsewhere.

 

Best to you kez!!

I have a new buyer (new to me, not new to eBay).  He is having himself a very good time shopping.  Now that he has pretty much wiped me out of a particular can, he is shopping on eBay Smiley Happy for more cans and having them sent to me to make more ornaments for him.   14 cans arrived on Wednesday and I am expecting 26 more next week. 

 

I think when I have finished making his order, I will put the listing up at $1,000.00 with BO.  That will look impressiveSmiley LOL

Hope you are right about that!

 

For myself, I spent time yesterday searching ebay though not buying because I couldn't find anything I wanted (clothing). But I will keep trying because I've bought some cute things here recently and hope to see more in my size and style.  I never go to stores anymore.

Thank you!  I a very happy he went on a shopping spree in my store.  I am (almost) happier knowing 4 other eBay sellers received sales because I ran out of a particular can.

I really love your ornies. The change to having some MV listings is impressive looking too.

People sell empty cans on EBay?

 

Is there ANY chance you’d try your hand at a retro mobile home ornament?

Re: how many days are the "fourth of July"?

This week is traditionally the most popular one for vacations due to the Fourth being in it, as many would get an extra vacation day because of that.

 

I started on ebay during a vacation but whether or not many will do so remains to be seen.  That was a different time, many years ago.

Thank you.  Moving all those ornaments into variation listings was a real project, but I was able to downgrade my store which means more money in my pocketSmiley Happy

Oh yes...empty cans are a popular collectible.   They make awesome displays in man caves or she dens. 

Sorry, I have not seen a retro mobile home die that would work to cut cans.
