SecondMoonshot Warehouse Update #7

Time to take the next step and moved into a warehouse at the beginning on October 2023. It is a conditioned 1875sqft metal building 5 minutes from my house with ample space to store vehicles, eBay inventory and shipping, and framing workshop. It is located in a nice section in Rolesville, NC and was able to get it at $1 per sqft. I am about 95% done with all the setup.

Custom Picture Framing Portfolio - Volume #6

Image
Here is the sixth volume of framing projects, a continuation of  Volume #5 .  For pricing estimation information, go  HERE . This was a framing project I did for Carrie and Steffen of an early Polaroid. Carrie did all the design work and agreed to do a double V-groove with the inside being a different mat color. Wow! She’s good. I’ll work to see if I can make a simpler version of this to sell on Etsy. The center cut was a bit tricky and time consuming, so will probably be all a single color. Latest vintage Porsche  and Ford Mustang GT Fastback print ad. Just because I could! Two new made-to-order frames available on Etsy. Available on our  Etsy store  or local pickup. A straight forward framing job for a friend and colleague.  I bought a DVD off eBay because it had a poster of one of our favorite musicians, Iz…I had some room in the back to make a pocket for the DVD case. A few new frames for comic books and album cover which are listed on Etsy. Available on our  Etsy store  or local p

A Year Later - Interview with Myself, John Leschak, Owner of SecondMoonshot

Image
It has been over a year since I interviewed myself and thought it was time for a follow-up. John was such a compelling host, I felt so comfortable with him that I was excited to see what kind of curve balls he would throw at me. If you missed the first interview, you can find it here . John: Welcome back, John! I can honestly say our first interview was fascinating and the best one on my hosting career to date. JOHN: Ditto! I just feel so comfortable with you, it makes me just want to dig deep and share. John: OK, let’s jump right in. How is the progress on the beard? JOHN: I knew you would start off with the elephant in the room. Anyone would tell you your kinda cute…in a homeless boxcar-jumping vagrant kind of way. John: Focus please. JOHN: Right…sorry. Growth rate has slowed down quite a bit, but would say we are at perhaps 65% of goal. John: Last we spoke, you were an eBay seller doing some Custom Framing, now your a Custom Framer doing eBay selling, what happened? JOHN: So a coupl

eBay Sales Cycles, Best Times of the Month and Week To Sell

Image
  Most of this is common sense but like everything else, may have variations depending on category. I have been looking over the sales trends for about a year since and now that I am setting most of my listings as Promoted Listings, it makes it easier to see monthly and weekly sales trends.  Observations: Common paycheck periods definitely have a major play with 1st and 15th of the month (starting a day before) being the biggest sales periods of the month, especially for higher priced listings. But I have found to take the best advantage of it, have your listings posted a week in advance if possible. I did a large number of listings 2 days before the end of the month and they seemed to have missed the wave. People have probably already made up their minds days in advance on bigger purchases. Government paychecks go every 2 weeks and can be found pretty easily with a Google Search . Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday are generally the worst days of the week with it bottoming out on Tuesdays.
