Changes for KML's Corner

Things are changing at KML's Corner.

We have been working for the past few months to move a load of our inventory.

The time is finally coming for us to make some lifestyle changes as retirement begins to draw near.

We will always be involved in online selling, but we will be getting away from keeping a large inventory on hand.

Downsizing is the correct word for it.

We have been offering much of our stock at low auction prices on ebay.

And everything has free shipping as long as it is to an United States address.

Many items are below what we paid for them, but we just want to move it out.

So don't let a good deal go by - be sure to check in on a regular basis to see what we have listed this week.

You can find our ebay store here.

As always, thanks for stopping by!

Summer on Ebay

It has always been slow during the summer.

Ebay just isn't the place to be when summer comes calling.

I admit, being outside is sure tempting, and I tend to give in more and more as the summer progresses.

But we are still listing regularly on ebay.

So keep us in mind and check in once in a while to see if we have anything you need or can use.

The KML website is winding down - we hope to retire in a couple of years.

Ebay will always be around for us, but on a smaller scale after we move out the inventory we have.

You can find us on ebay here: KML's Corner.

Take care and enjoy your summer while it here!

Lots of Auctions

The Christmas shopping season has been moving right along and we have had some happy buyers over the last couple of weeks.

Of course, the economy has taken a toll on people's spending habits, and we have noticed this with many of our auctions.

Everyone wants and needs a good deal these days and the prices reflect that.

We usually try to keep about 130 items listed on ebay at all times.

Lately we have been up over 200.

And they are really good deals that make great gifts for the holidays.

We ship most things by priority mail so there is still plenty of time left for getting them in time.

Be sure to check out our KML's Corner store on ebay for your holiday shopping.

And a big Thank You to all of our past customers too - your business is most appreciated!

Adding More Inventory

We have been spending time going through our inventory and making some changes.

The prices are being dropped down.

Some of the older items are hard to find.

Those who are looking for them will be pleased.

We are also moving items from the web store into the eBay store.

We really want to move out the inventory and our customers will reap the rewards.

And in this economy good deals are what everybody wants!

Readying for the Season

The shopping season for the upcoming holidays is fast approaching.

We have a plan - list as much as we can in the Ebay store so we can reduce our inventory load.

There will be many things going on as auctions.

And they will be starting off really low - some of them will start at .99 cents.

We need to clear out much of what we have on hand.

Because part of our plan includes a move - hopefully within a year.

It will be time to begin thinking about retirement.

Not completely of course - we will still be here - but on a smaller scale with smaller inventory to fit in a smaller house.

Downsizing.

Hopefully we have something you are interested in in the coming months.

It would really help us a lot if you could use it or give it a new home.

Thanks for stopping by and put us on your watch list - we may have just what you need!

We're Still Here

It's been a while since my last post.

Time has been very busy over here at KML's Corner.

Lots of stuff has been going up on Ebay at lower prices - we are working to clear out some inventory.

And there has been some behind the scenes work going on with the website.

For too long my feeds into the Google marketplace have not been working.

Much was changed with that feature last fall, and I am now getting it fixed on the site.

What a job it is.

So much inputting and trying to find the necessary fields that are needed to process the feed.

Much of my inventory doesn't have it, and without it, it creates errors and the feed gets rejected.

Yikes - time to move some out of the store and over to Ebay.

It's a job that is going to take a big chunk of time.

We are still here and still posting - just more behind the scenes.

Let us know if we can help you with anything, and thanks for stopping by!

Still Posting and Listing

Time has flown - I cant' believe my last post was on Jan. 22.

An update is needed for sure.

As stated in my previous posts, income taxes were a big job that required a big chunk of my time.

They are now all done, and what a relief it is.

We are now very busy loading up our ebay store with lots of stuff.

They are offering free listing of auction items only until 2/21.

That is an offer that is just too good to be true.

We have been able to list about fifteen new things each day, and I will continue to get as many on as I can during this time.

Hope you will stop by to see what deals we have!

Still Figuring

We haven't posted too many different new items in the store for the past couple of weeks.

We are hoping to get a chance to get some new items in there this coming week.

Working on the books for taxes is a big job.

And I don't see an end in sight yet.

Last year was the earliest we had ever got them done - the second week in February.

Would like to see them done by then this year, but it isn't looking that way yet.

Oh well, back to the grind - the adding machine and computer are working overtime!

Book Work Overload

Now that the old year has ended, it is time to get down to some serious book work.

Time to organize all the expenses.

Time to get the invoices in order.

Time to scrutinize the pages and pages of payments.

And time to add all this stuff up, categorize it, and input the numbers by month into the computer accounting program.

Then we can start thinking about those dreaded taxes.

Should take a good couple of months to get this all done.

And I am so thankful that the computer can do so much - I remember many years of doing all this stuff by hand.

One couldn't wait until year-end, it had to be done as you went along.

Things have certainly come a long way!

Happy New Year!

Wishing all my customers a very Happy New Year!

Hoping it is a healthy and successful one for you.

And praying that our leaders can get their act together and head our nation in the right direction.

And hopefully the rest will take care of itself.

Be safe this holiday weekend!

Merry Christmas!!

It has been a successful season for us at KML's Corner, and we owe it all to our customers.

We give you all a big thank you!

And we wish you all a joyous holiday - no matter which one you celebrate this season.

Happy Holidays!!

Busy Week

It has been a very busy week over here at KML's Corner.

We had many of our auctions end successfully and we processed them quickly.

UPS has been our main shipping company for many years, but we also use USPS quite a bit for the lighter items.

Recently we have been shipping more item through USPS priority mail.

They introduced some new boxes for localized shipping and we have found them to be quite useful.

Many of the purchases made last week were shipped by USPS priority mail.

UPS ground is always reliable, but customers want to make sure their purchases arrive in time for Christmas.

We will continue to ship the quickest way this coming week.

We will do our best to make sure you have your purchases on time.

Thanks for the busy week, and I hope you all enjoy this beautiful season!

Lots of Auctions Ending

I took advantage of the big sale ebay was having on the listing fees last week, and today is the first day of all those auctions ending.

We also have much more ending tomorrow night, and more on Tuesday night too.

It is the last new load of new inventory that we have listed for the Christmas season.

We will be listing more items, of course, but not the new inventory until after the new year.

We want to concentrate on getting everything packed and shipped so you all can receive it in time for the holidays.

Check out our ebay store to see if we have what you are looking for.

Have fun!

Three Day Listing Sale

Ebay is giving us a good deal this week.

From today, 12/6, through Thursday, 12/8,  we can list our auctions for free.

And buy-it-now can be added for free too.

They usually give us a one day notice for a one day sale.

But three days makes it a bit easier.

Plus, more can get listed.

The only drawback - the auctions are for 1,3, or 5 days only.

No seven day auctions that we do.

But, free is free, which is a good thing.

So don't forget to check out our listings, perhaps there is something there for someone on your list.

Enjoy!

Lots of Good Stuff

Just a quick post to remind everyone to head over to our ebay store.

We have lots of auctions that will be ending tomorrow night.

Clothes, shoes, collectibles, housewares, silver.

All make great gifts for the upcoming season.

And all are priced to sell.

Don't miss out!

Thanks!

Another Sale

Another auction listing sale on ebay means it is time to hurry again.

Hurry to get things ready.

Hurry to get them listed.

And hurry to get them online.

'Cause it is only for a day.

We took the bait and did the hurrying.

Over 60 new listings are going up tonight in our store.

Some things that didn't sell will get relisted - at a lower price.

We are trying to move our inventory, and our customers will get the good deals.

Even if it means our items sell below cost.

We did list a few more of the sterling silver coins.

As always, good luck with the auctions, and enjoy!

Lots of Deals

Another listing sale on ebay means lots of things got listed by many sellers.

We took advantage of the sale and also listed lots.

And most of our items were started at $9.99 auctions.

That is a whole bunch of good deals that we have available on ebay.

Check out our listings in our ebay store.

Maybe there will be something there that is just what you have been looking for.

And if not, then stay tuned, we have lots more that will be going on in the next couple of weeks.

Enjoy!

Thank You My Customers!

It has been a very good week over here at KML's Corner.

And I have my great customers to thank for that.

I am glad that we have what they are looking for - and even happier when they let me know how pleased they are with their purchases.

Keep your eyes on my auction and buy it now listings - we are adding lots of new inventory and it just might be what you are looking for or need.

A great big thank you to, my customers - you are the best!

More Auctions

Ebay had a sale today.

Auction listings were only 1 cent.

For me, that is a major savings.

I have seen that many sellers have gone away from the original ebay auction concept.

Most listings on there are "buy it now" ones.

And if you have a store, they are much cheaper to list than an auction.

But, they don't get the exposure that auctions do either.

So, a good mix of the different options that ebay has to offer is what I try to do.

The posting was very slow today on the ebay site - I am sure it is due to the sale.

Hopefully it didn't affect the buyers - don't need them turning away because they can't bid.

We'll see how this batch goes when things end next week.

Lots of low prices - gotta catch the deals while they last!

Lowering Prices

We have begun to lower the prices in our ebay store.

 

The beginning prices on many of our auction are also going through some changes.

 

We are lowering many of the starting prices to $9.99.

 

The holiday season is coming,and we really want to move much of our merchandise.

 

What better way then to offer our customers some really good deals.

 

We will also be listing some different kinds of items in our store with in the next few weeks.

 

We have some hard to find vehicle parts from some older, long-gone cars that some people will be happy to see.

 

So keep your eyes open on our store - we might have just what you need!
