All Dolled Up And Nowhere To Go

I am familiar with a summertime slump in sales...but I feel like the 5 day thing is sucking all my mojo. I get lukewarm interest, a watcher or 10, and then they forget about the item since it was 3-4 days ago that they decided to watch it, and they're on to another thing that they can purchase sooner.

I have a doll that Theriault's got $250 for not long ago, someone else on ebay has the exact same one in terrible shape for $297. I priced mine at $70 in the hopes of a small bidding war and got watchers. Relisted, more watchers.

I am seriously thinking of amassing a few thousand dollars worth of dolls and sending them to Theriault's again. I might have to wait 3-6 months for the money, and pay 25%, but since I cannot even get 30% of what the item is actually worth on ebay, it's worth it to send it elsewhere.

I had one Bonanza sale and one Etsy sale which took up some of the slack, but it's just not enough.
