After reading a few other blogs where the authors sold multiple items on Ebay and made a nice profit I decided to try my hand at the eBay game.

Over the last 10 years I ahve built up a pretty impressive library of books for a 25 year old. I love to read and I love to read on MANY different topics. My enjoyment in this activity left me with well over 100 different books, covering all different topics: textbooks, fiction, sports, history, finance advice, etc. I also have many golf clubs laying around that others would certainly be willing to snatch up.

I decided to list essentially book I own on eBay , as well as 3 or 4 golf clubs, and other items.

Being a newbie in the eBay game, I was a little unsure how much to charge for shipping, etc. Therefore I underestimated the cost on a few items and ended up taking a loss on the shipping portion.

But other than that it's fun and I have turned a nice profit in less than a week. Now, obviously this isn't a true profit in the sense that I sold a book for more than I originally bought, but it still feels good to have the cash in my pocket. I ahve decided that I will take 50% of the total proceeds and put it towards my credit card debt, with the other 50% going into the $25 challenge pot.
