EBay Sales Today, Bye Bye Popple

Well we had a snow storm here last night, wasn’t anything too bad ( 20-30cm ) but it was the first of the year so it always messes things up.

I shop my eBay packages through a company called Chit Chats which gives me a better price shipping to the USA then Canada Post can. The sad part is I can ship something to California cheaper then Toronto, which is half the distance and in my own country!!

So Chit Chat is closed for the day , I only have 2 items that need to be shipped out but I’ll send them out tomorrow. The first item is a Polaris hat that I think I paid around $3.00 for and since my store is currently running a sale it sold for $21.00 plus shipping , so not a bad little sale, especially where hats are so easy to ship in a USPS 10x8x6.5 Box.

The next item I sold I’m kinda sorry to see go, it’s a Popple from 1986 that I enjoyed displaying, I actually had it priced alittle high as I was in no rush to sell it, but with the sale I’m running I guess it brought it into a selling zone! I paid under a dollar for the Popple and it sold for $84.00 plus shipping, I can’t complain about that return. But I’ll need to find another Popple to be friends with my childhood one ( basketball Popple)

So it was alittle slow with sales today, yesterday I sent out 5 items but I’m happy with anythjng.

How are your sales on eBay if you sell?

Crypto Thoughts of The Day: Be Greedy

Hey guys,

All the markets have had a rough week, there has been a few things that contributed to this, new Covid strain, Chinese debt and the US saying they will be cutting back on printing free money!

So people got afraid and when they are afraid they started to pull their money out of the market. When the stock market starts to dump, Bitcoin will dump as well!

So Bitcoin dumped and people ran!!

It’s interesting because now that the market is down people won’t buy , but when the market was high they would of died to get prices at this level!!

Of course this is not Financial advice, but how quickly we forget what warren buffet says.. “ be greedy when other are fearful “ of course this doesn’t mean Mortage your house and put it all in crypto but you should be looking at coins you believe in for the future and buying what you can afford!!

So I’ve been throwing some of my EBay profits into crypto coins I believe in for the long term and if the market pumps or dumps I’m happy to hold them long term!!

Today I’m looking into $ADA, $FTM and my favourite $RNDR… Do your own research remember

What's This Blog about

Hey Guys and Gals,

Thanks for stopping into my little place on the internet.

First let me tell you alittle about myself, My name is Kenny, I'm From Canada, living on the East Coast. I have a family that consists of my wife and 3 kids. The kids may make appearances on the blog here and there.

I've always loved thrifting, collecting and flipping things. I've now combined all 3 to help grow my retro collection, and I am selling things to support this collection.

I started selling stuff on Ebay this Spring and it's been going pretty well, of course there's bumps in the road but I have been enjoying it. I hope with this blog I can help others on this journey.

I do this as a side Hussle, as I'm a full-time Police Officer.

Another thing I’ve been doing recently is getting back into Crypto, I’ve played with it on and off but plan on sticking with it this time, as I see it as the future.

Come join me on this journey!!

Kenny
