Seller tip - spread it out

So, you have like 500 items to sell. Awesome!

The temptation: post them all NOW so that you can rest at ease. The better answer: go in chunks. Post a few items a day.

Why? Well, chances are that you'll learn a lot about pricing, descriptions, and pictures while posting, gauging the response (or lack thereof) of the NYS users. You'll want to adapt rather than later going back and editing each item. And with new people coming to NYS each day, you won't want to miss the new crowd with your front page items.

So, avoid reposting, and spread things out a bit....

450 miles of yard sale

Down south, they have a live yard sale stretching for 450 miles. I suppose that's a true test of your yard sale addiction....

Another threshold for NYS

We recently crossed (and are holding steadily above) 1500 active items on NYS. It seems that just as we'd cross it, people would sell a bunch of stuff, items would disappear, and we'd drop below. But activitiy has picked up a bit and we're back above, at least for the last several days. And with over 700 registered members, NYS is growing very, very quickly.

For our friends in Joliet

I should have mentioned this - we launched Joliet Yard Sales last week. How could we forget?!?!? :)

In reality, this has been in the works for awhile, so it's a bit anticlimactic I suppose. Already there are a few hundred items showing up from various and sundry locations in the greater Joliet metro area. Spreading the yard sale love....

Yard sales are great for halloween costumes
