Kathleen's Closet :-)

Well, I have finally created a new site called Kathy's Closet www.kathyscloset.biz
Most of you know that I have been selling on eBay for 11 years. My items have mainly been clothing, shoes, handbags and jewelry. It is something that I enjoy selling and I always try to find very unique items. Of course they are sold for great prices too, which has helped me to create a bit of a following with loyal customers.

Times are difficult for so many people. It is not luck (as some may think) that keeps me afloat. I can honestly say it is the art of resilience and the discipline to always work hard to stay ahead. I truly believe that most people can achieve great results, if they only dedicate themselves to hard work, smart work, and charity to others of course. For me, it is also the little face that looks up at me daily and reminds me of my responsibilities and for that, I am truly grateful.

So, I have my new site now and have packed it full of great bargains. I plan to keep doing so, as I love new adventures! I challenge each of you to really think about your passions and what you enjoy doing. What are you talented at? What can you do from home in your spare time? But especially, what would you regret not having done when you do look back at your life?? Hmmmmmmmn.................

Craigslist, Garage Sales, eBay, and Thrifts....

Well, I have learned that if I wait long enough, the item I seek will appear on Craigslist. Yes, I know I am not shopping for fashion items (Boo Hoo), but, every now and then I do find something wonderful for my home! Today I found an almost new Chiminea for my back deck, and some great outdoor lawn Christmas ornaments (OK, I know it is only June, but that is the time to buy them cheaply folks)!! Everything was a steal of a price, and a fraction of retail price.

So, what I do on most Saturdays, is go garage sale and thrift shopping. I find treasures and re-sell them on Craigslist and eBay too. I have been selling on eBay for 10 years now. Listen folks, anyone can do it! I have even taught classes at the local college about it. It's not that difficult and we all could use some extra money right?! So, when I don't find something that is a keeper for me, I hunt for potential resale items. I find that baby and kid items always sell well. Also sporting goods. I mainly sell those on Craigslist. The fashion items I end up re-selling on eBay (as long as they are in excellent shape and designer names). Anyone can do this from their home! eBay has excellent beginner tutorials to learn this. Youtube has videos too. There are also tons of community forums on eBay that will help you get started. Check it out!
