This is very interesting. I had been thinking of doing something along these lines for ages.
Maybe some of the new sales are also coming from people who heard about what you are doing (from fellow etsians, like me) and lie what you do.
So it may be difficult to know if teh new sales are due to teh new listings or to the hype surrounding the experiment.
Anyway, well done on your sales.

Great experiment! I tried this for a few days but then got my Etsy bill for last month and cut back. Another benefit I've noticed of relisting often is getting in more treasuries--which can also lead to sales.

Good luck.

This is great to read about your progress. I want to do something like this, but don't yet have the time to put into it. Congrats on all your new sales! Question: what is SNS?

listing obviously does work for making sales. id be interested to see how well it works financially, your etsy bill is going to be scary!

Thank you for sharing your results with us. If this experiment proves profitable (and it looks like it will), Etsy is going to get a lot richer with all the relisting and subsequent sales!

Wow, this is great! Thanks for posting your progress. I was wondering if there's a time of day you notice is better.

My bill is a little high, not too bad.. But its not near as expensive as having all this stock just sitting around looking pretty ;)

Its going well, i will have some details to post for everyone at the end of week one!

Nice work! I'm a spreadsheet geek myself! So pat yourself on the back for looking at this and trying to discover a way to make the system work for you. And I see your time and $$ spent on listings/relistings as a worthwhile investment. If I'm doing the math correctly your listings costs for 15 days will only be $45 (15 listings per day for the length of the experiment). To me that's not bad for promotional costs of a business for 1/2 a month.

Keep it up smart girl!

This is going great, you seem to be getting sales from it.

Well done.
