I was hoping by now I would be bragging about how close I was to reaching my goal of earning $200 extra dollars in income this week. Sadly, I am far from it.
For the first time ever, I've been using UsedPEI.com to try and sell my things. I've posted numerous items - clothes, dishes, a rocking chair. The only thing I've had interest in so far has been some $10 plates...and they are not officially sold yet. I'd be curious in hearing other people's experiences with this website. Maybe this is a bad time of year to be selling things? Maybe I just need to be more patient?
So yesterday while I was in Value Foods, I was struck by what was posted on the dry erase board on the wall. Last week's winner of the store's 50/50 had a take-home pay of $1,200!! Cha ching! I'm sure I blinked dollar signs. The cashier told me that the weekly payout is normally only $200 (only?). I am in the vicinity of the grocery store on a regular basis, so I figured it would be a good idea to sign up and make the commitment to stop in weekly and sign in. Will I win $200 this week? Probably not. But one of these weeks, opportunity will be mine.
Hey Peggy,
ReplyDeleteI've been posting on used and kajiji this week and kajiji has taken the lead for interest peaked. However, I've sold nil. Usually things go like hotcakes on either site soooooooo I'm thinking the market is slow this time of year. I believe same goes for all sellers.
$200 is a LOT of extra cash to come up with in one week unless you have a drug habit you decided to quit or something similar. And let's face it, 'Pretty WomEn' wouldn't fly on PEI. Too many women give it away for FREEEEEE! (Not a word, Amanda! lol!) Don't get me wrong, Peggy, I think you would do well at anything you decided to wrap your...erm...head around. :P
