James,
While I think your points below may be contributing to your decrease in
sales, I think that you are missing an important one. The time of year.
From selling last year at this time, i know it is going to be slow probably

I've been listing a bunch of stuff on my store, and the orders are coming
in. I did $181.04 in sales so far today and $103.19 in sales yesterday.
But this is after posting parts from 20 blue tubs and 270 Oasis Ambush sets.

| I've had some thoughts churning around in my head recently generally related to parts selling and how I can streamline the process, and it never hurts to open the door and get more input. I noticed that my most recent sale announcement got less (...) (24 years ago, 24-Nov-00, to lugnet.market.theory)
