Double From A Penny To A Million - More sales this week

Hi All !!

2 leather strap Tigger $44.88
2 Disney Princess $25.08

Mosaics china $9.00

These totals are after fees and I have taken 2 CD-Rom sales out for time and extra fees incurred just to be accurate :)

Looks like step 17 is around the corner :)

PS; I also forgot, A day or two after I reached Step 17, I found a 5c coin ! Now I know it is no longer legal tender :( :( but it was also an Australian coin and it had been hit several times by the mower.
I'm going to keep it.
Perhaps WHEN I hit the million I can auction this famous (or soon to be...) coin off. What do you think ??!!!!

Double Your Way To A Million ! STEP 17 FINALLY !!!!

Double Your Way To A Million ! STEP 17 FINALLY !!!!

Including another $6 in profit from the mosaics auctions that finished yesterday......

I now have

$320 !!

Now here comes another long step ! I still have quite a few watches, mosaic lots, beach china, beach glass and household stuff.
I'll try to get that all listed this weekend.

I must say how lucky New Zealanders are to have TradeMe.
For those uninitiated souls, TradeMe is the New eBay (well, in NZ anyway !). The good thing about it is that we don't have an overfilled market and NZers have been used to paying ridiculous amounts for foreign goods for so long, that a few bargains are a welcome change !!

Anyway, I have to credit trademe with a lot of my success.

BTW, My Personal and Doubling auctions are here

More in the morning :D
Plus...tomorrow there will be a party at my blog and everyone gets free stuff !!!!

Doubling To A Million - Back to where I Was :D

Doubling To A Million - Back to where I Was :D

Phew ! That was a harsh week or so ! This coming Monday I will have had the watches for 2 weeks.
I have made more in 2 weeks than I did in the preceeding 4 months !

I've been doing this project since September '06.
3 weeks ago I reached $200 and decided to buy some wholesale watches.
I sold one right away but no more. Luckily Scott from Double2mil gave me the great idea of Mosaic materials.

I went out to the dump and got some broken pieces free. With the money from that lot, I bought some more.... With the money from those I bought 2 bags full and everything went from there.
I also collected some Beach China, beach glass and cats-eyes from our local beaches.

I sold another watch tonight and have issued offers for 3 more, so we'll see.
My Total as of tonight is $200.90
I still have lots of Mosaic lots and watches.... and tons of ideas.

What a week !

All other speculation aside, having risked my entire stake on one thing and building it back up from Zero, I can see the value of keeping the Doubling Stake separate from your finances.
It gives you the freedom to take risks you normally wouldn't. It allows you to take chances with the money and learn from them.
Now, I guess I could have sat and waited for all the watches to sell, but the competitive spirit in me wants to reach my goal fast !!
And what did take me 4 months now only takes 2 weeks :D
