Okay, so I've mentioned that I work full time. Which means, in real terms, that I only have the weekends to plan big blocks of time to focus on TotSwap. I can squeeze an hour or two out at night but my big chunks of time come on the weekends. Well, last Saturday we were involved with an examination at the martial arts school where my husband and I train and all the activities of our kids which left only Sunday for my TotSwap time. So the plans were laid...my husband was going to take the kids out to a movie and to lunch and I would get a good solid 3 hours and maybe more. But alas, it wasn't meant to be. My poor husband woke up with a kidney stone and spent most of the day in the emergency room. He still hasn't passed the stone and he is doing all he can to help out, but it has been a LONG week of trying to get all the routine things done around the house never mind trying to do TotSwap things on top of it.
Well, my husband decided that he was going tough it out and give me some time today to do my TotSwap stuff. I started early, as soon as Consignment Manager had finished their daily maintenance at 8:30. The system was SO slow that I finally gave up and rebooted my computer thinking that it was a problem with my system. Nope, it looks like it is the Consignment Manager system that is having issues because I just got a message that it is down for maintenance when I just tried to get back in.
That's okay, I can roll with this... Instead of putting things in the system now, I will start collecting things to sell from the basement playroom and moving them into my guest bedroom (my staging area). Of course, this plan will have to work a bit around the kids who are playing in the basement right now :-) I planned to get down there one night this week anyway to pull things so I might as well start now.
It dawned on me a couple of days ago that there is only 1 1/2 weeks to go before drop off begins on Wednesday the 11th! Is it bad that I'm hoping for a snow day tomorrow???

It's now Thursday, so you are at the Swap. I have considered doing TotSwap, but it seemed like so much effort for a small return unless you have 1500 items as is your goal. I may be wrong! Please let me know how much $ you estimate you will make on 1500 items. Thanks!
You asked such a good question that I went ahead and wrote a whole post about it :-) I hope that helps!
