Free pile day!

I am currently clearing out old eBay inventory as well as old projects I've run out of steam on. The free pile today has a lot of vintage books, toys, and home decor. I am also trying to change my strategy for eBay in terms of selling price. For many years I've been ok with selling at the $5-10 price point, but shipping supply costs have made these items move slower than they used to, and people’s “free shipping” expectations make this unreasonable. I've also noticed that I get less burned-out when I sell a few higher value items ($40+) than when I'm busy doing 8 $5 items. It allows me to spend more time cleaning and making items nice instead of shoving them out the door as quickly as possible. I also have limited storage space in our relatively small house I'd like to make less full! I'm also happy to pass on fun items to others for free just to get them out of my house :)
