If you haven't been to our website, come check it out. Where can you get cashback towards your next order, www.simplysandoval.com.

We will continue to add new products as much as we can.

Goals for 2018: Get all platforms performing at the same time. Sales on Amazon, eBay, Etsy, eBid and website each week. The sales aren't the best on all the channels, but something is better than nothing. List, List, List.

Have to send in One new FBA shipment per week to build up inventory again.

We've been carrying inventory around from our previous brick & mortar stores and flea market booths. NOW is the time for it to all be SOLD! Haven't gotten to it. Hope for this coming year.

My thoughts on our recent sales:

1. As always, if you don't list it you can't sell it. 
2. Sales have slowed some. Hopefully, they will pick up.
3. All years of trading cards sell, even the mass produced years. 
4. Any sale is better than no sale.

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