We sell antiques and reproductions. Sales are slow. Cost of sales has slowly been increasing from 18% when we began to now over 22%

Things have started to pick up. I had 100% sell through last night. It is generally 50%-75%. The season is starting and should get better as more people on at their computers. Also the ebay store sales have picked up to about 1-2 per day, which is fairly well since I only have 80 items listed in the store.
Things certainly are what they used to be 5 years ago but you can still do well if you can find things to sell. Finding them at good prices is the hardest thing these days.

standard store here, too. no keywords, no frills other than the 1 cent gallery picture. things have gone very well since i opened it in april - have gotten rid of a lot of old inventory. the store brings in hundreds of dollars a month, well worth its $9.95 base price.

Standard store for me as well. Real good sales from the store with just running a very few regular auctions to drive people in.
