Let's try this...

digging for treasure (not me in pic)

Hello world! I have tried to blog before, with little success in keeping at it. This time though I am going to make a real go at it. I want to document my adventures in selling on eBay (and craigslist, and wherever) - as right now this is my ONLY source of income for a family of three. I am a licensed teacher, but I just have not been able to find a teaching job since graduating with a M.A. in 2009. So really what I buy and sell is my only way to put food on the table (and diapers on the baby)!

 I hope you follow along, as I will try to make multiple posts per week. Also, as inspiration (and a source of great reading material) I suggest this blog - Money In The Garage - updated frequently, and very interesting to follow a similar minded seller!

I have been making income online since around 1997 or so - yes that long! I just became an eBay powerseller for the first time this year. I also sell on Amazon, and sell larger items on Craigslist (and a similar local service to me). I mainly sell vinyl records (hence the blog title) and CD's/DVD's as the bulk of my stuff, but honestly you never know what I will come across.

So bookmark if you dare, and follow along as I share some of the many ups and downs in selling online!
