And now, in Bizarro Valis world...

I have been busy today with some stuff (NOT WRITING THOUGH, ARGH!), and looking over my selling stats for eBay for Nov & Dec made me cringe. Ugh. Really bad months. Really. I don't even want to look at Jan, because it's probably worse. I haven't bitched about it a lot, but I've been really freaked about it. To the point where I've been almost thinking about not purchasing new stock. But I did anyway, and went out on a big limb.

Thankfully, there must be something in the eBay water this week, because I'm suddenly on fire. The last few days have seen multiple item sales in my store, and my auctions did...decently. So I'm relieved. Of course, this warrants more time restocking the store and messing around with templates instead of stringing words about hot guys together, but still.

Now let's just hope this little winning streak continues...*desperately crosses fingers and toes*

What is it that you sell?

I usually don't say directly on my LJ what I sell...if you're interested, email me at [LJusername]@gmail.com. ;) I'm just a bit paranoid for myself, and also for the company I rep for...since this is an entirely unlocked journal, it's all public info, and therefore I need to rely on being indirect, lol.

y'know, crossing your fingers makes it a bit harder to type, don'tcha think?

Just sayin'... ;-)

oops, and I should've said, "good luck" while I was in there... sorry!

hee! Yeah, I'll just have to cross only my toes.

3800 words! It's actually working!! Thanks for the luck. ;)

OMG, my brain is set to stun tonight. I thought you were talking about my writing. lol.

Sales seem to have dropped off a little now that I've squeed, of course. Isn't that the way of the universe?

My shop sold exactly zero items through the months of December, January, and February. ZEEEEEEERO.

Hope your sales continue to rise again. <3

That's the worst, isn't it? *shivers* I mean, I'm trying to do this as a living, and it's just the scariest thing on earth when I pull up my business email and there are no new emails.

Hope your sales increase, m'friend, I really do! *giant hugs*

It all evens out in the end. Knock wood for crazy sales though. :)

Oh yeah, because I started remembering that we're super-close to spring--when people go outside and forget about the internet. So I'm teetering at the cusp of my worst season. ugh.
