Sorry it has been a while and but I wanted to share this with you. I live in New York and there is a Casino in Yonkers that's 30 minutes ways and me and my partner went to day to see the place. We set a budget of $100.00 for each of us to spend. We came back with our $100.00 plus an extra $500.00 that would go toward the $20.00 challenge. Gambling sometimes pay off. only sometimes.

Last Balance $42.40
Addition $500.00
New Addition $542.00

Won $10.00 on scratch off will be added to $20 challenge

$25.00 old balance
10.00 Scratch Off
$35.00 new total

Now it's time to start the new year off right, I put my $20.00 aside for this challenge to start. Listed some book I had around the house on half price and I sold a book for $5.00 this is added
start
$20.00
$5 (book sold)
Total $25.00

Note; To all my ebayers out there the ebay fees for 2007 are going up to .40 cents instead of .35 cents.Just wanted to let you know.

I am losing the $20.00 challenge, I am putting my energy else where. I will start fresh on Dec 1, 2006. My goal is to get to $1000.00 by Dec 1 2007

Ebay had a 20 cent sale yesterday and I listed so much my hand and eyes hurt.Hopefully I will be getting some sales to add to my $20 challenge. So far it's been dead when it comes to making money. My goal for the end of the year is to make a $100.00 so that way I can start the new year 2007 fresh.

Hi all I had a great weekend for ebay. I went to some garage sales and I found some vintage barbie items and dolls that are going right on ebay this weekend. My partner found some Ho trains and buildings, and some plastic water guns from the 50's. We spend under $20.00 for a box full of things. YES!!!. I hope with the buying seasons here that we do well on ebay
