* I am desperately in need of a dinner set!

After my May hiatus, I have been trying very hard to have lots of items at auction at all times. June has been pretty good... so far. Every week I have had 100 items at auction.

But now we are three weeks into June and I am getting behind. I really need a dinner set or two to get my auction numbers up. Unfortunately the garage sales that I have been to have not had what I am looking for in dinner sets. I am finding interesting things to sell, but it takes more time to get my numbers up one item at a time.

Dinner sets are so fast and easy to list. I tend to take a lot more time with the single items. I always get bogged down with research and composing the item descriptions.

Today I found a large set of bamboo patterned brass flatware from Thailand. Yeah! I got it written up quickly and when it is photographed, I will have 33 items to list at auction. This flatware plus the "singles" that I spent a good half day writing up, my total for this week will be 78 auctions.

So, it looks like I am not going to make my 100 auctions this week. It is a good goal and if I continue to take it seriously, I should make some progress. The more I list at auction, the bigger my store inventory and that equals more sales and more money!

Gotta just keep plugging away :o) !
