Today I wanted to share with you one of my sources of income, eBay.  I've been wanting to write an ebook or some kind of manual for some time now, but am waiting until I can consistently list at least 150 items a month.  I have two other part time jobs so I only spend a few hours a week selling on eBay, probably less than 5, and I consistently earn over $150/week.  If I spent more time, I could make a lot more money, but with my studying for my actuarial exams and having free time and having two other jobs, I just don't have enough time.

I LOVE shopping!  And if you don't love shopping, eBay selling is definitely not for you.  Let me give you a look into some of the items I have found and flipped this month from Goodwill.

J Brand Starless Jeans

Paid: $5.94

Sold: $29.99 + $6.35 Shipping

Profit: $20.48

31 Keep It Caddy

Paid: $4.42

Sold: $24.99 + $6.35 Shipping

Profit: $18.78

Rerock Jeans

Paid: $5.47

Sold: $27.99 + $6.35 Shipping

Profit: $19.74

Miss Me Jeans

Paid: $5.94

Sold: $52.99 + $6.35 Shipping

Profit: $41.55

These are just a few items that I've sold this month, I normally try to get at least $20 profit from each item, but sometimes I can't get that much,  I have my own Excel sheet to determine my profit and I highly suggest you have on as well.  Here is what my Excel sheet looks like:

Also, our first craft fair went very well!  We sold about 6 liquor bottle lamps and got the word out to a lot of people!  We are going to be at the Farmers Market in Ocean Pines this Saturday for those of you around the area.

Happy November!

I just love everything about November!  My favorite part: BLACK FRIDAY! (More like FriYAY!) I haven't quite planned out what I am doing for this amazing holiday yet since I have scored an awesome new part time job.  I got a job at Marshall's, just a couple days a week.  Boy, do I love Marshall's!

ESSIE Update:  For those of you who don't know, I also work in a hydroponic greenhouse part time and these nail stickers lasted me over TWO WEEKS!

One thing I really enjoy doing this time of year is making my holiday wishlist.  These are currently a few items I'm wanting!

Total Look for Less!  This is the Target version of the J Crew Pave bracelet, and it's only $19.99!

My fav perfume!  DKNY Be Delicious, I saw this at Walmart the last time I was there!

My family and neighbors have a Christmas part every year and we always try to outdo each other with our liquor treats.  This is what I am thinking for this year:

Moonshine Cherries!  To make things even tastier: dip in cheesecake!  How genius!

Enough about what I am wanting and more about what I am doing.  The boy and I have been making and selling liquor bottle lamps.  They really are awesome and S is so good at creating these!  

Check them out on his Etsy shop!

For those of you living in the Delmarva area, check him out at the Wicomico Street Fair this Saturday!  If I'm not scheduled to work you'll find me there, too!  These lamps would make a perfect gift for a man in your life (hint).

And I will leave you with this picture from the most amazing Halloween I've ever had!  I spent it with friends and the boy at Seacrets, Jamaica, USA.
