Tiki challenge back on track a little...

July 30th, 2008 at 02:57 am

Well, despite all the stuff in my personal life I did manage to add about $38 to the tiki fund.

It would have been more, but I got soaked on some shipping for an eBay item. I guess that was my amateur mistake. It cost me $22 to ship the lamp when I had budgeted $14. Oh well. Thankfully I didn't lose money on that one.

Next month should be better because I'll have some money coming in from Google Adsense. And I may try to post some more items to sell on Etsy.com.

    Glad you have some business to take your mind off things. Shipping costs have risen lately, I think. It's hard to tell when there are no prices posted anywhere in the post office!
    So that pretty floral lamp sold for a good amount of money? Looks like close to $50?? Much better than the .99 you first listed it for. It sure was pretty.

    Shipping always throws me off on eBay as well. I'm trying to be more careful about it, but every now and then it costs more than I estimated....

    Good thing the lamp sold for more or I would have lost a bunch on it! I'll have to be more careful next time.
