We’ve gone Ebay

Oh the joy! It’s been exciting here. We’ve been working on selling some “treasures” on Ebay. We have a gazillion dollars worth of American Girl Doll paraphernalia around here. Nobody seems to care about it anymore. It was absolutely loved and cherished several years back. But something happens to those feelings during puberty. They either get more sappy sentimental or fall into the “who cares” category. For my girls, it was a mixture. They still love the stuff….but don’t feel like hanging on to it. They’d rather have money! :)

Ally has worked so hard in putting everything on to sell. She is quite the marketing kind of gal. She will definitely be a money-maker lady someday. She has a great gift. I hope she reaps the reward she’s hoping for and more. This will be her school clothes money for this year. It’s come to that. Finances are tight……no…..squeeky screamy tight! We have to be creative or do without! I know God will bless. He always does!

Doing this little selling project has inspired me. I’m looking around my house for something to put up for sale myself. Goodness knows, I have enough useless stuff laying around here. I’ll let you know if I do it and if I make any money to get excited about. Before I go, here’s a shot of something she’s offering on her list. It is so cute!

Meet Angelina Ballerina and her kit of goodies! Still in original boxes and in fantastic shape.

This here’s the only hesitation item! It’s Coconut……and Ally absolutely loves him to death. She prays he doesn’t sell!

    I love selling old stuff that the kids don’t use any more. It is a great way to pick up som extra cash.

    Yep, that’s how we started out…a few things here and there…then it was a few more things…and now it’s going to be a full time job come the fall. Just goes to show…you never know what will happen when your lives are in the hands of Father God!!!

    Blessings on the sales for your girls (and you should you so choose) and abundant blessings on you finances!

    My 7 Y.O. daughter is just blossoming into her own American Girl era. I knew nothing of it until a Bitty Baby came to live at our house last Christmas. Then I became aware of the corresponding literature: the historical novels as well as the “Care and Keeping” books. I’ve never been big on dolls, but I am a big believer in everything this brand stands for.

    It must be bittersweet to see this era ending in your own daughters’ lives, but amazing to realize they have grown and taken what they needed from their dolls, and are emerging into their own new era of becoming young ladies.

    Finances are tight here, too, and my hubby and I have going through our house trying to find things to sell. We are having a garage sale this weekend. It’s getting to the point where we are even trying to decide if we can live without some of our furniture just to make a little cash!!

    Good luck with your Ebay items. Our teenage daughters used to be into that American Girl stuff, too. Our oldest couldn’t care less about saving any of it, but our youngest doesn’t want to part with any of it, even though she hasn’t used it in a few years. But then she never wants to part with ANYTHING!!!
