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.

Free to E-Bike- $54.02

It dawned on me that I've been making money from free inventory these last two months. It's a risk free way to get into clothes. I think I have sold more clothes than books. There was the Free Inventory I received from my neighbor. I was able to get more needful clothes for myself, and I've already sold a few items. Then there was the free inventory I got from the school bus lost and found. I decided to do a fun series where I save up for a used car. I use my Mercari money for my dental transformation and that is a separate series. I already have a video called Mercari Buys Me Glasses. Here is my video sourcing at the Lost and Found, I've made two: Not everyone Can source here...free inventory Sourcing at the Lost and Found Recently, on Ebay, I sold this Reebok sweater. It sold for $13.00 buyer paid $4.99 shipping. His total was $19.25, and my profit was $8.92. The Nike blue lunch box was a surprise sell for me, so I went back and picked up the other lunch boxes. It

Goodwill Resell for Profit - Did I Make My Money Back?

On May 5th I went to Goodwill and purchased books to resell in my secondhand bookshop. I spent a total of $24.67 at Goodwill, but $2 was for personal use. I have already made my money back on these books! I want to take a look at the sales that came through so far, now everything else in my Goodwill haul that sells will be 100% profit. I also wrote in my previous blog post that I hoped to make my money by the 20th, and it's the 22nd. The first sale was this Rainbow Brite , like new, book. I listed it for $13 and someone made an offer for $10 within 24 hours of listing. My COG was .99, the selling fee was 1.00 and the processing fee was .91. $8.09 was deposited into my Mercari account. After COG, my profit was $7.10. I am trying to make my money back as fast as possible with this Goodwill experiment. I sent offers to likers and gave a whopping $5 off for this fantasy book lot, the buyer accepted for $17 and paid for shipping. I forgot that my COG was .99 cents and not

What Sold January 15-21 (My First Week Back!) I turned .25 cents into $13.49!

I can't believe that the same week I started listing I got sales!! There were three occasions, all sunny afternoons at the end of January between 3 pm and 5pm, right before it got too dark to take pictures. I took photos of all new inventory and chose Pango Books and Mercari to start listing. There has been a lot of promotions on my Facebook page, the social media platform I spend most of my time on. I joined some facebook groups for resellers. I decided on my next paycheck, I wanted to buy my domain. This side hustle was my dream job, maybe being a teacher feels out of reach. But I've always wanted to be a writer. A bookseller, being my own business owner, maybe. Just maybe that's what I can do! My reselling goal is to make what I made at my survival job. (I got paid $12/hour and worked 16 hours a week. Some weeks I worked 22 hours.) I'll be satisfied if I make any where between $80- $170. I listed a total of ___ books to each platform, and a total of 3 books sold.
