Weird - Good and Bad Times

THE GOOD:
So I and many others have LOTS of time to do things since we're sequestered at home.
Plenty of time to list things for sale, particularly on eBay.

THE BAD:
Many people don't currently have the money to buy things.
And I don't think that's going to change for a while.

THE UGLY:
Many small businesses will not survive the down time.

 

I have thought about selling some excess stock now. But, I haven't seen things selling at or above cost for a long time. If try to sell a commemorative or proof set for at or above cost from the mint you will never sell it. People today want it below your cost and free shipping. My kids will have to deal with it.

 

I'm glad to be retired and out of debt. Only a few monthly bills, plenty of food, with piece and quiet. This storm will pass.

 

Same here -- almost.
I have to pay attention to my wife also.

 

I've actually seen an uptick in eBay sales for myself over the last two weeks or so.

For about a month prior to that, I had almost no sales. And then I guess people got their stimulus checks and/or income tax refunds and went to the races.

 

Or stuck in front of their computers.
LOTS more eBay surfing.
