Plushies to Prowl For #2
     Added on 01/02/07 by Betsy

I stumbled across a great rare find this week in my favorite spot.  Henry the Dog produced in the 1970's by Animal Fair.

He apparently also has a girlfriend Henrietta and a girlfriend Doogan the Dog.  None of the dogs are worth as much as Henry however. 

I have my Henry up for $40 I think, but honestly that's only because I have Ebay fees to pay.  Typically, he sells for between $40-90 depending on condition.

His dog posse sells for less, $15-30.

Remember when you are listing your stuffed animals, use both "stuffed" and "plush" in the title, and mention if they are from a smoker's home!

Ebay, Taxes, and Elmo
     Added on 11/25/06 by Betsy

Question: I found your sight in my search to find if my tmx elmos would still sell well
closer to Christmas (I'm sure you noticed the expected drop over the holiday).
I sold pretty heavy for a month or two last year and then bought heavier on ebay
than I sold.  I stopped buying do to a couple really bad experiences and and
back to the selling side; when I started my biggest concern was taxes (When to
charge, when to declare, what forms, etc...) and at what point I became a
business versus an individual selling a couple items on ebay.  I didn't know
what it all entailed and just decided to drop selling for a while.  Stay at home
mom as well, knowing my ebay options would be helpful.  What have you learned
about declaring taxes at the end of the year, etc / and at what you become a
business and need to start worrying about legalities.
Thanks for your time 
Amy

Answer:

Without fail this is THE cocktail party question I get asked once I cop to selling on Ebay as a mommy profession: "Do you have to pay taxes on that?

What people really want to know is:
"Do YOU pay taxes?" Though generally, people are far to polite to be that forward.

According to my accountant, tax year '05 was the first year the IRS had a professional category named "online auction sales".

I pay taxes. It is. . .  (read post)

The Castle is Getting Crowded and Smelly
     Added on 10/03/06 by Betsy

So the Elmo investment didn't pan out.

It was entirely the fault of my assistant, however since she is both unpaid and related to me I have to ignore that fact and move on.

So this is when being a seller gets speculative.  I could return the TMXs at Toys R Us, relist them and chance paying Ebay fees on another item that did not sell, or I can sit on them hoping that the little third world toy making elves will develop carpal tunnel and be unable to fufill the desires of spoiled preschoolers who need a $100 giggle box- which by December 18th could be worth $225.

These are the issues that keep the Queen awake at night.

Seriously though the Elmos are depreciating somewhat, what was last week's $100 sure thing is now a $70 sale.

So I think I am going to sit on them.

This is the problem.  I am also sitting on American Girl dolls, Groovy Girls, bins full of Legos, Lego Dacta Table, Tons of books, Build a Bears, Step 2 Kitchen pieces, Today's Kids Baby Gates and misc stuffed animals. 

My castle is becoming a crowded place that smells like a resale shop.

Thank goodness all the Prada at Goodwill was fake today- because who needs the clutter.

Keep an eye on thesmithmall's crap this week I am in the mood to purge.

Like anyone with a psychological disorder my urges come and. . .  (read post)

SOLD - Scuba DPVs, Bitty Babies, and Ebay Fees
     Added on 09/20/06 by Betsy

Buenos Dias from the resale queen, Betsy Smith- you may know me from my long run as star of Croncast, a podcast my husband forces me to do 3 times a week.  Kris- thats the other half of Croncast and my man of la mancha had the brilliant idea of building this nifty site for me.

I have been selling on Ebay for 6 years.  That's 6 years of dumpster diving, Goodwill hunting and garage saleing. 

Everybody thinks its nifty to buy something for 50 cents and sell it for 50 bucks, and Ebay has become the stay at home mommy home biz of the new millenium- kind of like catering and real estate was back in the 80s.  While selling on Ebay is fairly straightforward, the difficult part is knowing what sells and for how much.  This is where the hard work comes in.  If you like to stay up until 1am bleary eyed reading completed Care Bear auctions in order of highest to lowest price- then join me compadre as we venture forth on the journey to turn garbage into gold.

As an added bonus Ebay has set up a system to allow click throughs to related auctions as well as links to become a member if there is anyone left on the planet who does not have an Ebay user ID.  I will be adding keywords from my topic du jour which will bring links of Ebay merchandise auctions to this site, so please click. . .  (read post)
