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!
