End of the Month Reseller Report October

 


October I stayed focused and goal oriented. Did i achieve the goals I set this month? What was my best sale and biggest achievement? This is my Mid Month Review and my October Plan With Me blog posts. One of my goals was to list 300 items on Depop. The other major goal was to make $360 this month selling books. 

Net Worth as of 10/26 - $325.54 (2 orders uncounted)

*needs update its 6:36 am 

Depop Listings = 310

Mercari Listings =185*

Etsy Listings = 34*


 Let's look at the positive! A copy of my poetry chapbook sold. I went to my first Estate sale and found antique books! I began my first resin project in 3 months using a poem that's 124 years old. 

One of my fastest sales was Nurses Verses (I got at the Estate Sale here) and a Titanic bundle. Nurses Verses sold for $46 which is my new record for books that sold for the most profit. 

I also sold non bookish items: a Steeler's jacket, Alice in Wonderland leggings, a vintage Avon picture frame

Nanowrimo is around the corner, so my November Plan with Me is going to have some fun events planned!

What Sold Oct 8-14 // I turned $4.25 into $75.57

 Did I do better than the week before? I barely listed any items. Days went by where I didn't list. I had sales on all 3 platforms. My COG was free. adidas Boys track jacket, small child 7/8, outdoors winter workout =$3.91 AUTOGRAPHED America : Imagine a World Without Her, Dinesh D'Souza non fiction = $4.35  1970's football dolphins steelers nonfiction biography vintage NFL sports books = $1.31 colleen hoover books bundle paperback thriller bestseller = $8.09 Dorothy wizard of oz Halloween costume cosplay blue gingham dress = $12.42 Oathblood Mercedes Lackey paperback vintage used book fantasy =$1.99 A Court of Thorns and Roses by Sarah J. Maas = $7.50 Y2k denim overbust shrug / bolero asymmetrical = $40.25 $79.82 - $4.25 COG = $75.57 These are the kind of weeks I like as a hobbiest/ side hustle. $80-$200 a week is preferable. But there's a LOT of work into reselling, you should set your goals higher. $100 a day. 

Listing Challenge: I listed like Daily Refinement for A Week

 Daily Refinement says you can make $100 a day if you list 5 items that will make you $20 profit. I really like how he puts this into perspective, plus, this challenge motivates you to list items that are worth your time. It's October 1st, and I need to list 5 items! Already the challenge of having enough to source at that high value is evident. All my items I got for free or have been in my closet for a long time. I also want my main focus to be Ebay and Mercari.  The first item I listed was this rare, vintage y2k denim overbust shrug bolero. I got this years ago when I started shopping on Poshmark for myself. Or maybe it was Vinted. I don't remember. I have this listed at $85 depop/ mercari /  The second item was a pair of black leather boots, brand new they ran a little big for me but I think they would go great for cosplay as well as casual wear.  I have these priced at $55. depop / mercari / ebay  Next was a pair of Nautica jeans. Not sure how well this siz...
