06/18/17 Daily Blog

Researching dropshipping and product syncing to our Shopify Store (website). Have to diversify in todays times. Have to have income coming in from all sorts of places to make a living.

Always on the search for a "product" that will be like Zistle, was to many card collectors. A product that has a want list feature, a database where I can add my PC (personal collection of trading cards), and be user friendly.

My thoughts on our recent sales:

1. As always, if you don't list it you can't sell it. 
2. Items don't always sell for what we want to get out of them. 
3. All years of trading cards sell, even the mass produced years. Shown by my recent sales.
4. Having the item gone might include a sale at a loss.

Here's the to-do list for today:

1. Check for orders. Get orders shipped out.
2. Check for yard/garage/estate sales
3. Get shipment ready to send to FBA
4. Get top loads ready for Amazon - old price stickers are no joke - using my Scotty Peelers and Magic Erasers
5. Add (50) trading cards via spreadsheet to Amazon
6. Set-up for adding (100) trading cards via spreadsheet tomorrow
7. Add items to Inventory Lab #FeedTheBeast
8. Add replens to Inventory Lab #FeedTheBeast
9. Take Pictures/Scans
10. List, List, List on eBay
11. Add listings to Etsy
12. Add cards to Kronozio - strictly a trading card site
13. Watch YouTube videos

All-Purpose Cleaner: 

              

This is an excellent cleaner for built up grime, grease, yellowing from cigarette smoke and the like. We used this in the house we moved into. The previous owner smoked in the house. The walls were yellow and the custom cabinets were caked with grease and cigarette smoke. The little garage was used as an extra pantry. The canned goods exploded in the heat and then stuck to the shelves in 1/4" to 1/2" inch think dried up molasses looking spills. We spread it on and we were able to take a putty knife to it about 10 minutes later. This is just an awesome cleaner. 

When I use other items I will gladly add them to my recommendations.
