Here are the final numbers for my ebay challenge. The goal was to earn an average of $100 per month selling items our household no longer used on ebay, garage sales, craiglists and online sites that pay cash.
2010 Ebay Challenge Totals

Total sales: $918.61
Monthly average: $76.55
I did not meet my goal for 2010. I had the same goal in 2009 and did not meet it then either. My average in 2009 was $56.48. Sooo....I beat my average from last year by $20 per month!!! Yipee. I'll take improvement.
I think I'll keep the same goal for 2011 and see what happens. The garage sales seemed to be my biggest money makers and I expect to have only one, instead of two.

I think I have given up on ebay, now that they have changed the feedback and the fees are kind of too high.
I'm mostly selling on craigslist now.
