We told y’all last time we weren’t going out to sales because of rain. Then Candice was scrolling Facebook the night before, saw a listing that caught her eye, and we ended up at exactly one stop Friday morning — about 45 minutes — and walked out with around 100 items for $263. That’s $2.63 a piece, mostly health and beauty aids in a flat $2-per-item pile.

Came home, packed a stack of eBay orders, and gave a new listing tool called List Easier its first real day with us. By the time we wrapped, we’d put up 53 listings.

The haul: $263 for around 100 pieces

[0:24] is the reveal. Tarte, Lola, Tribe Tribe, Habibi, Urban Decay, Lazy Tan — most of it sealed retail boxes at $2 each. A few higher-dollar pieces in the mix that the seller had priced individually.

We didn’t double-check her math [0:51]. We’ve dealt with her before, the total felt close to what we knew it should be, and we weren’t going to nickel-and-dime over a couple of dollars. [1:28] we paid $263 for everything — that’s around $2.63 per item once you average it out.

The plan was tag-team listing across two days — me running pictures, Candice building the listings, with the goal of getting it all up by end of Saturday. We’re guessing the haul averages around $15 per listing once it’s all on eBay.

What sold on eBay today

We had a strong day across the board. Hitting the highlights — not every order, just the ones with a story.

• [3:35] Nine Epcot Food and Wine appetizer plates — $31. Long-tail item, sat on the shelf a while, then a buyer found them.

• [4:14] Bell’s tin beer sign — $59.99. Out of the lot of beer signs we picked up a few weeks back.

• [4:38] Sci-fi book lot — $177 shipping included. The shipping portion alone was $47. Funny back-story on this one: [5:55] we weren’t even supposed to buy these. After we’d already paid for the haul, the seller mentioned the books were separate — Lonnie was loading the car, Candice was settling up on Venmo, and the seller said “twenty and twenty, forty” like that had been part of the deal all along. Candice thought we’d already agreed. So we paid the $40, lotted them up, and they sold for $177.

• [6:54] Houston Texans signed football — $29.99. Came with the stand and the pump.

• [7:54] Brunswick purple and gold bowling ball — $44.99. This is the Hot Lunch Reselling tip paying off in real time. Chris over at Hot Lunch is often showing used bowling balls moving for $25, $30, sometimes $50. We bought three balls and two bags for $20 total at one sale; this is the first to sell.

• [9:17] Panda Enjoi skateboard — $44.99. “I forgot we sold a skateboard” — that one snuck up on me.

• [10:09] 12-pound yarn lot — $100. Some serious shelf-clearing happening on the yarn front. Two more $50 yarn lots already on the books, plus a smaller $25 one.

• [11:13] Two tap handles — Coco Louisiana and Stout Beer, $24.99 each. [11:38] we’ve sold $75 in tap handles now out of three handles. None of the pricier ones from the lot have moved yet.

• [12:59] Nautica plaid quilt — $100. Listed it yesterday. Sold today.

List Easier — first real day with it

[14:51]. We’ve been threatening to try List Easier for months, and today was the day we actually used it for real.

The big win: it fills out a ton of eBay item specifics for you. That’s a real time-saver — normally we’d burn ten minutes per listing hunting down brand and model details. With UPC-coded new-in-box product like the cosmetics from this haul, the auto-fill is fast.

Candice still went to the manufacturer’s website on a couple of makeup palettes [16:28] to confirm a few details, but that was a one-time check, not the whole listing process.

The snag: it’s built for a single user per account. We hit it immediately. Candice was in there listing, I tried to jump in on the same haul, and the system isn’t set up for two of us working the same account at the same time. For a solo seller it’s a clean win. For a two-person operation working off the same account, we’ll have to figure out a coordination pattern — probably one of us listing at a time, or splitting categories.

By [17:06] we’d put up 53 listings through List Easier — really 55 items once you count the multi-item lots, plus two more outside-of-List-Easier listings from the same haul. Total across the day: 57 items.

[18:34] “Our first taste of List Easier was pretty good though.” I’d recommend it for solo sellers. The multi-user thing is something we need to work around, but the first day was strong.

What’s left

About half the haul is still sitting on the shelf waiting to get listed. Most of it’s two brands we already know how to price, so day two should move faster — assuming the rain holds off and we don’t end up at another sale Saturday morning instead.

Thanks for hanging out with us. We’ll see y’all again very soon.
