Summer Clearance

2014-07-10T11:57:00.003-04:00

The summer we have waited for for so long is finally here with a bang.

We have had a few changes around here - the website store has been closed and everything is funneling through ebay now.

Short sand sandals are the specials of the day - and we are clearing out our summer inventory.

And they are being listed at low buy it now prices and even lower auction prices.

Just like everything in our store, they all have free shipping.

So be sure to check us out if you are looking for some hard to find old stock.

We want you to enjoy your summer with a good deal to go along with it.

You can find us here.

Thanks for stopping by!

Princess House Nouveau Cookware

2014-06-03T08:23:00.000-04:00

We ran across some unique pieces in our travels.

Not knowing exactly what they were, we decided to purchase them anyway.

Come to find out, they are vintage pieces of Princess House cookware that were made back in the 1980's.

The Princess House Nouveau cookware is based on the traditional corning ware ceramic pieces that we are all familiar with.

They can be used on the stovetop, microwave, oven, freezer, and are dishwasher safe.

Their unique difference from the corning is the handy removable handle.

It is great when taking it from the microwave - just snap it on and no burnt fingers.

I was tempted to keep the set - they are just like new - and oh so versatile.

But since we are downsizing, I'll just stick to what I have been using for the last 30 years.

We are running each piece on Ebay over the next couple of weeks.

Be sure to check them out - they are unique and you don't see them around to often!

Changes for KML's Corner

2014-03-15T10:58:00.003-04:00

Things are changing at KML's Corner.

We have been working for the past few months to move a load of our inventory.

The time is finally coming for us to make some lifestyle changes as retirement begins to draw near.

We will always be involved in online selling, but we will be getting away from keeping a large inventory on hand.

Downsizing is the correct word for it.

We have been offering much of our stock at low auction prices on ebay.

And everything has free shipping as long as it is to an United States address.

Many items are below what we paid for them, but we just want to move it out.

So don't let a good deal go by - be sure to check in on a regular basis to see what we have listed this week.

You can find our ebay store here.

As always, thanks for stopping by!

Summer on Ebay

2013-07-07T18:58:00.002-04:00

It has always been slow during the summer.

Ebay just isn't the place to be when summer comes calling.

I admit, being outside is sure tempting, and I tend to give in more and more as the summer progresses.

But we are still listing regularly on ebay.

So keep us in mind and check in once in a while to see if we have anything you need or can use.

The KML website is winding down - we hope to retire in a couple of years.

Ebay will always be around for us, but on a smaller scale after we move out the inventory we have.

You can find us on ebay here: KML's Corner.

Take care and enjoy your summer while it here!

Taxes Finally Done

2013-03-04T11:15:00.001-05:00

It took about a month, but the taxes are now finally done for another year.

It is always a relief to have that big job done.

The computer and online filing certainly makes the job so much easier.

The program that we use automatically imports all the info from the previous year, so that saves a lot of time right there.

No addition errors, no missing entries, and no running around to try to find all the forms we need to file.

And the big one - no worrying if it got lost in the mail to the IRS and we get penalized for not filing.

All filed, all accepted, and now just awaiting the refund - which we can track online too.

I love my computer!!

Time for Taxes

2013-02-08T16:44:00.000-05:00

It's getting to that time of year again.

Time to do the taxes.

I feel like the baker in the old Dunkin Donuts commercial - dreading it and being half with it as I delve into it.

But once the paperwork gets organized, and the the book-work gets calculated for each month through the year, things start to get smoother.

It will take a couple of weeks to finally get everything together, but it is a good feeling to have it underway.

A very big part of being in business for oneself, and once it is done it will be such a relief.

Back to the books I go!

Lots of Auctions

2012-12-09T14:47:00.003-05:00

The Christmas shopping season has been moving right along and we have had some happy buyers over the last couple of weeks.

Of course, the economy has taken a toll on people's spending habits, and we have noticed this with many of our auctions.

Everyone wants and needs a good deal these days and the prices reflect that.

We usually try to keep about 130 items listed on ebay at all times.

Lately we have been up over 200.

And they are really good deals that make great gifts for the holidays.

We ship most things by priority mail so there is still plenty of time left for getting them in time.

Be sure to check out our KML's Corner store on ebay for your holiday shopping.

And a big Thank You to all of our past customers too - your business is most appreciated!

Adding More Inventory

2012-10-04T22:21:00.000-04:00

We have been spending time going through our inventory and making some changes.

The prices are being dropped down.

Some of the older items are hard to find.

Those who are looking for them will be pleased.

We are also moving items from the web store into the eBay store.

We really want to move out the inventory and our customers will reap the rewards.

And in this economy good deals are what everybody wants!

JFK Sterling Silver Art Round

2012-09-23T15:55:00.000-04:00

We have been listing a few collectible sterling silver coins these last couple of weeks.

They are from the John F Kennedy Commemorative Medal Series that was minted back in the early 1970's

The one we listed last night was titled: Addressing the United Nations.

Each coin is solid sterling silver and weighs an ounce.

You can check it out here.

We also have a couple others on from this collection and we do combine shipping!

Thanks for stopping by!

Readying for the Season

2012-09-22T12:31:00.000-04:00

The shopping season for the upcoming holidays is fast approaching.

We have a plan - list as much as we can in the Ebay store so we can reduce our inventory load.

There will be many things going on as auctions.

And they will be starting off really low - some of them will start at .99 cents.

We need to clear out much of what we have on hand.

Because part of our plan includes a move - hopefully within a year.

It will be time to begin thinking about retirement.

Not completely of course - we will still be here - but on a smaller scale with smaller inventory to fit in a smaller house.

Downsizing.

Hopefully we have something you are interested in in the coming months.

It would really help us a lot if you could use it or give it a new home.

Thanks for stopping by and put us on your watch list - we may have just what you need!

Some New Inventory

2012-06-23T13:56:00.001-04:00

We have been adding a different kind of inventory to our Ebay store.

Some used automotive parts have become available, and we will be listing them over the next few weeks.

So far we have added some hard to find 1991 Volvo 940 parts.

A couple of them sold right off.

Hoping to draw in some new customers by adding some different items to our mix.

If you are looking for any of those volvo parts, please let us know and we will see what we still have on hand.

Thanks for stopping by!

We're Still Here

2012-05-06T11:45:00.000-04:00

It's been a while since my last post.

Time has been very busy over here at KML's Corner.

Lots of stuff has been going up on Ebay at lower prices - we are working to clear out some inventory.

And there has been some behind the scenes work going on with the website.

For too long my feeds into the Google marketplace have not been working.

Much was changed with that feature last fall, and I am now getting it fixed on the site.

What a job it is.

So much inputting and trying to find the necessary fields that are needed to process the feed.

Much of my inventory doesn't have it, and without it, it creates errors and the feed gets rejected.

Yikes - time to move some out of the store and over to Ebay.

It's a job that is going to take a big chunk of time.

We are still here and still posting - just more behind the scenes.

Let us know if we can help you with anything, and thanks for stopping by!

A Great Sale

2012-03-13T18:49:00.001-04:00

Ebay is having a great sale for store owners.

They are offering free listing of auctions for all store owners until March 31.

Now that is a substantial savings.

Those who only list once in a while are used to free auction listings.

But it is the steady sellers that pay, and this break is a needed one.

So we are listing like crazy now.

Everyday we put up new stuff instead of the four days we usually do.

Hopefully the buyers are watching and spending.

Check us out and see if we have something you need!

Still Posting and Listing

2012-02-17T20:37:00.000-05:00

Time has flown - I cant' believe my last post was on Jan. 22.

An update is needed for sure.

As stated in my previous posts, income taxes were a big job that required a big chunk of my time.

They are now all done, and what a relief it is.

We are now very busy loading up our ebay store with lots of stuff.

They are offering free listing of auction items only until 2/21.

That is an offer that is just too good to be true.

We have been able to list about fifteen new things each day, and I will continue to get as many on as I can during this time.

Hope you will stop by to see what deals we have!

Still Figuring

2012-01-22T14:33:00.001-05:00

We haven't posted too many different new items in the store for the past couple of weeks.

We are hoping to get a chance to get some new items in there this coming week.

Working on the books for taxes is a big job.

And I don't see an end in sight yet.

Last year was the earliest we had ever got them done - the second week in February.

Would like to see them done by then this year, but it isn't looking that way yet.

Oh well, back to the grind - the adding machine and computer are working overtime!

Book Work Overload

2012-01-05T21:00:00.000-05:00

Now that the old year has ended, it is time to get down to some serious book work.

Time to organize all the expenses.

Time to get the invoices in order.

Time to scrutinize the pages and pages of payments.

And time to add all this stuff up, categorize it, and input the numbers by month into the computer accounting program.

Then we can start thinking about those dreaded taxes.

Should take a good couple of months to get this all done.

And I am so thankful that the computer can do so much - I remember many years of doing all this stuff by hand.

One couldn't wait until year-end, it had to be done as you went along.

Things have certainly come a long way!

Happy New Year!

2011-12-30T19:40:00.000-05:00

Wishing all my customers a very Happy New Year!

Hoping it is a healthy and successful one for you.

And praying that our leaders can get their act together and head our nation in the right direction.

And hopefully the rest will take care of itself.

Be safe this holiday weekend!

Merry Christmas!!

2011-12-23T20:03:00.000-05:00

It has been a successful season for us at KML's Corner, and we owe it all to our customers.

We give you all a big thank you!

And we wish you all a joyous holiday - no matter which one you celebrate this season.

Happy Holidays!!

Busy Week

2011-12-17T18:10:00.000-05:00

It has been a very busy week over here at KML's Corner.

We had many of our auctions end successfully and we processed them quickly.

UPS has been our main shipping company for many years, but we also use USPS quite a bit for the lighter items.

Recently we have been shipping more item through USPS priority mail.

They introduced some new boxes for localized shipping and we have found them to be quite useful.

Many of the purchases made last week were shipped by USPS priority mail.

UPS ground is always reliable, but customers want to make sure their purchases arrive in time for Christmas.

We will continue to ship the quickest way this coming week.

We will do our best to make sure you have your purchases on time.

Thanks for the busy week, and I hope you all enjoy this beautiful season!

Lots of Auctions Ending

2011-12-11T15:00:00.004-05:00

I took advantage of the big sale ebay was having on the listing fees last week, and today is the first day of all those auctions ending.

We also have much more ending tomorrow night, and more on Tuesday night too.

It is the last new load of new inventory that we have listed for the Christmas season.

We will be listing more items, of course, but not the new inventory until after the new year.

We want to concentrate on getting everything packed and shipped so you all can receive it in time for the holidays.

Check out our ebay store to see if we have what you are looking for.

Have fun!

Three Day Listing Sale

2011-12-06T20:38:00.000-05:00

Ebay is giving us a good deal this week.

From today, 12/6, through Thursday, 12/8, we can list our auctions for free.

And buy-it-now can be added for free too.

They usually give us a one day notice for a one day sale.

But three days makes it a bit easier.

Plus, more can get listed.

The only drawback - the auctions are for 1,3, or 5 days only.

No seven day auctions that we do.

But, free is free, which is a good thing.

So don't forget to check out our listings, perhaps there is something there for someone on your list.

Enjoy!

Lots of Good Stuff

2011-11-27T20:02:00.000-05:00

Just a quick post to remind everyone to head over to our ebay store.

We have lots of auctions that will be ending tomorrow night.

Clothes, shoes, collectibles, housewares, silver.

All make great gifts for the upcoming season.

And all are priced to sell.

Don't miss out!

Thanks!

Another Sale

2011-11-21T19:30:00.000-05:00

Another auction listing sale on ebay means it is time to hurry again.

Hurry to get things ready.

Hurry to get them listed.

And hurry to get them online.

'Cause it is only for a day.

We took the bait and did the hurrying.

Over 60 new listings are going up tonight in our store.

Some things that didn't sell will get relisted - at a lower price.

We are trying to move our inventory, and our customers will get the good deals.

Even if it means our items sell below cost.

We did list a few more of the sterling silver coins.

As always, good luck with the auctions, and enjoy!

More Sterling Silver Mayors Medals

2011-11-14T19:41:00.000-05:00

We are a bit over halfway done selling the Sterling Silver Mayors Medals that are made by the Franklin Mint.

There are a few more on that will ending this weekend.

With the holiday weekend coming up after this one, I am undecided as to whether I will be listing any until after it.

It is traditionally a big selling time, but not necessarily for gold and silver bullion items.

Of course, we will still have lot of our other items listed for that busy time too.

I will play it by ear for the silver medals and see what is happening in the days beforehand.

It just may turn out to be a good selling time for any and everything!

Lots of Deals

2011-11-08T20:35:00.000-05:00

Another listing sale on ebay means lots of things got listed by many sellers.

We took advantage of the sale and also listed lots.

And most of our items were started at $9.99 auctions.

That is a whole bunch of good deals that we have available on ebay.

Check out our listings in our ebay store.

Maybe there will be something there that is just what you have been looking for.

And if not, then stay tuned, we have lots more that will be going on in the next couple of weeks.

Enjoy!
