Your sellthru rate IS bad. Whatever you are doing on Yahoo is obviously
not working.

Yahoo User ID: grandmagrabe ( 17,301 auctions with positive feedback )
1,980 unique
Past week: 95, Past month: 345, Past 6 months: 1,697

Yahoo User ID: josephmikedonna ( 13,174 auctions with positive
feedback) 3,663 unique

Yahoo User ID: ROYBEAN57 (10,489 auctions with positive feedback) 5,062

Wow, every time you post these "Yahoo Success Stories", I dig
a little deeper and don't feel so bad about my results ...

As Marv Albert would say, "Let's go to the tape!" ...

Past six months sales: 4155 items, ranging from
.99 to $49.95. Less than 200 sales over $10.00,

Sellthru rate: 160 items per week, 2.9% if the
5500 items was consistent during that period.

Not bad, but nothing to scare jayandmarie on eBay ...
