been the best selling days I have ever had. The past 7 days I have sold what I normally sell in 2 weeks or more. Awesome, keep those gift cards, Hanukah gelt & Christmas $$ coming in. It was slow until last Friday and then whoopee. Hope others are experiencing the same thing.

Same here! Loving it! I was expecting today to be really busy, since I had a handful of sales when I got back from the gym in the morning, then all afternoon, nothing:( Maybe this evening will pick up again

[joesshooze]

I am way happy and satisfied but I know that most of my sales as I think everybody's are Thurs., Fri.., Sat., Sun. So prolly a few more.

Since coming to Aspkin and heaving steady sales my inventory has increased, my cash reserves have increased and I don't have to borrow from Peter to pay Paul. My cash flow is better because I have accts that don't have 21 day hold. A lot more that I can't think of right now. Happy, happy, happy!
Did I say I was happy?

Historically sales pick up in January after everything settles down.

January has always been a good month for me.

This is the first slow week I had in a year . But still good, I usually do all BIN but a normal month it takes 5 days to sell 100 items on one account, it took me 10 days to do it on one account this month all buy it now so I have switched over to auctions and now everything has picked up

I was going to shut down in Jan. and take it off but I can wait until Feb. if things are really that good if you say so.

Disney world will have to wait until Feb.

Once everyone relaxes from all that shopping they will be back using all those holiday gift cards, I bet this commingle week picks up, it has been slowly picking up for me from jan1 to now with BIN listings. But I started doing 3 day auctions and I'm even selling a few dollars more and every listing gets sold and now I have 10-15 listings ending per day so auctions are still doing well, just needed a slight adjustment from BIN TO AUCTIONS and now it's business like normal.


But this nice little slow period is a much deserved and needed break, got some nice sleep in and I'm ready to go

We dont sell anything close to being the same so it might not in your area of selling.

January has always been good for selling antiques, many auction houses have huge auctions on Jan 1 every year so there is plenty of new items to grab and sell that are not normally in the market.

Good auctioneers will hold off special items until new years day auctions.

I have no idea what happened but I am basically almost out of stock that usually lasts all month. This has happened in the last 10 or so days as the week after the new year was almost totally dead. My goodness what a record day again today & I hardly have any sales on a Wed.

Thank you Aspkin & forum members.

I guess that is true but my sales on memory modules have tripled so far in Jan compared with Dec and Nov, my hard drive sales have dropped 40% so far. I prefer to sell HDs.

Those gift cards in small amounts are hitting the interwebs.

Sold 107 items at £14 in 22 hours. Let's hope it keeps up and in an account that got hit with couple of negs over Xmas and trying to rebuild it
