Dec 2016

my eBay sales are about 60% of what they were a year ago. Same mix.

Baby boomers are flooding the market with stuff. I barely get page views on
most items, and or the first time ever it is common for items not to be viewed
at all. I think the search engines are tweaked to higher priced items than I
tend to offer.
