It has been a couple days. I have lots of orders to get out today. Got everything packaged up and sent out.
What have we been doing the last couple days? We moved our office computers into our bedroom so that we can stay cool here in the 707. Had to get organized office wise, again. I was also sick from the antibiotic that was given to me for the dog bite.
We have an outbreak of ants. Febreeze works great. They are passing over the cinnamon and the vinegar.
Have to get settled in now so that work can happen. Some work got done today. Good to be back at it.

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. Amazon and books. Have to work on this one.
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. Lots of this lately. 
5. Returns are eating up my profits. Will flip the returns to eBay.

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 ready for Amazon returns
4. Get shipment ready to send to FBA
5. Add (100) trading cards via spreadsheet to Amazon
6. Add items to Inventory Lab #FeedTheBeast
7. Add replens to Inventory Lab #FeedTheBeast
8. Take Pictures/Scans
9. List (10) items on eBay
10. Add listings to Etsy
11. Add cards to Kronozio - strictly a trading card site
12. 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.
