The last two months have been horrifically bad. We have lost eight days of school this semester due to a school illness closure plus multiple bad winter weather events. Additionally, when we have been open, student absences have been high due to this year's bad flu season. School has been a complete disaster.
On March 2, I activated my listings, thinking that I could give it a go. It only took 12 hours for me to deactivate all of them when I realized that I wasn't ready.
Currently, I am on spring break. I've had to deal with some stuff, and my plan was to activate my listings on Tuesday. I have been waffling back and forth since Tuesday on whether to activate my listings, with "no" winning each time.
Last night I finally activated some of my Etsy listings. Around 100 are still inactive. This morning I reactivated all of my eBay listings. I'm going to try. I can't promise how long I will stay open, and I could shut down at any point, since my heart definitely isn't in it.
I do want to sell for two reasons. I could use some more money coming in, since I'd like to resume paying off my new car quickly. I've been stalled for a few months where I'm just making the minimum payment. Second, my extra books are piling up badly. I have boxed up some books. The ones that I boxed are the Nancy Drew books that I have pulled for bulk lots, probably around 100 of them. They are out in the garage. Even with two full boxes of books in the garage, I have way too many unlisted extras.
It's impossible for me to have the books arranged in order, and I've been shoving them wherever I can. Here are some photos. Click on images in order to see them at a higher resolution.
These images do not show all of the unlisted extras. I have a bulk lot of Dana Girls books that I am still airing out. They were musty, and I treated them with ozone. I am now airing out the ozone odor. I don't know where I will put them once I'm done with the process. I also have some books stacked in random places.
I'm going to try to make myself list some books today. We'll see how it goes.

Finally, the Nancy Drew lunchbox campaign has less than a week to go. If you want a lunchbox, then you must act before the campaign ends on March 25.
