What Sold November 8- 14

Here's what sold this week! This week was so special because it was my birthday.  

Eat, Pray, Love
First time doing free shipping on all books as a special sale. Sold for $4.95 shipped. Depop fee was .50 cents. The PayPal fee was 44 cents. Shipping was $2.80. My profit merely $1.21. This book has been in my shop almost all year.
Gulliver's Travels, A Fine Balance, What Religions Believe 
Sold to a repeat buyer. She spent $24 on Depop. The Depop fee was $2.40. The PayPal fee was $1. The shipping was $3.86. My profit was $16.74.












Lady Almina and the Real Downtown abbey 
Listed this the other day so happy it sold quickly on Depop. She paid $4.95. The Depop fee was 50 cents. The PayPal fee was .44 cents. Shipping was $2.80. my profit was $1.21.



for the first time ever, I put FREE SHIPPING on all my books. one reason is because I need more room. second reason is my competition prices low. third reason is because i wanted to see if FREE SHIPPING would actually work to generate a lot of sales -  it did. 

I edited an image and put all my book listings to FREE SHIPPING. I am glad I did this too because I have a lot of listings - I imgaine a buyer would tire sifting through them all. (Over 300) What prompted me to do this was only having enough money for one more months worth of living. 

I didn't get my dream job at the library, but I applied for an open position at the Dry Cleaners down the road. This would really help me. I'm going to ask to do partime since I have to walk and I have CRPS in my right arm. I am still uncertain if I'll be able to press shirts because of my disability.

I've also just stumbled on the Depop Reddit page while googling "full time depop sellers." Never thought to go on Reddit!! 

Gathering Blue
Sold on Depop for $8.50. The Depop fee was .85 cents. The PayPal fee was .55 cents. Shipping was $2.80. My profit was $4.30. 


I decided to run another sale- this time instead on free shipping, it was a whopping 25% off. That's one of the biggest discounts I've ever given. It seems fitting to do these in November / December since it's all about gratitude and giving back.

Vintage nature encyclopedias
These sold on Depop for $49.50. The Depop fee was $4.95. The PayPal fee was $1.74. Shipping was $5.98. My profit $36.83.

Vintage 1980s Eggplant waterpitcher,   the song in the walnut grove
I've had these for a while! The pitcher was $3 at the Hospice. And I'm going to miss this beautiful book. She spent $52. Depop fee was $5.20. The Paypal fee was $1.81. Shipping was $8.86.  so after my costs of goods I made $33.13.


My profit this week was: $93.42.

Net profit: $93.42

 This book sold within a month of listing, The Goldfinch. I recently relisted this week too, for $4.50 + $3.99 shipping. (Before I relisted this book, it was $9 shipped.

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.
