2021 Listing Challenge : Day 3 List 100 Items before Sourcing

I'm trying to stay motivated.

I constantly look at how many listings other Etsy shops have - especially book shops. Right now I have 76 listings on Etsy.

Listing a bunch on Depop has caused me to lose a lot of followers, I noticed.

I will try to take new photos for Depop, and casually cross list to Mercari throughout the night. I decided to tackle the cross listing in shifts, I used to try to do it one after the other. (example, list on depop, then that same item on Mercari.) Then what I started to do was list on my Instagram Tuesdays, Thursdays, and Fridays. This was already proving to be a lot but i liked the schedule.

Naturally, I post to Depop the day before - so Monday's, Sunday's. I usually post on Friday's to Depop too.

I can't afford any cross listing bot anyways. But if I can just increase my sales by just a little, I might be able to later afford one.

Instagram - Tuesdays, Thursdays, Fridays

Depop - Mondays

Mercari - Mondays

Facebook groups - Fridays, Saturdays, Sundays

Alright, let's see what I got around to posting today.

Not a whole lot, but I feel like Saturday I'll be able to post a lot more. In 7 days we will have the #letfreedomringbooksale so really hoping to have a few sales to wrap of June with. I also found out after comping Alice in Wonderland I sold it for way to low ($12 Free Shipping) when Thriftbooks had the same copy, 1 left, for $44. Mine did have a water stain that I didnt know which is one reason I dramatically slashed the price, but the stain is on the dust jacket, not even the book. At least I made someone's day with this very amazing book.

End of the Month Reseller Report // January 2023

I am a part time reseller on Mercari, Pango Books, and Ebay. I flip books online, I love having an online bookstore. Here is a break down of my January sales. This was my first month back reselling! I am hosting a giveaway to welcome back all my readers over on my Facebook page where I am giving away 12 vintage true crime novels. I also wanted to celebrate by doing a fundraiser to raise money and awareness for my favorite cat rescue. My Cost of Goods were .25! I didn't have to pay anything in shipping, here's a small break down of the platform fees: Mercari: -$3.56 Pango Books: -.79 Ebay: $-1.31 Overall, I had a total of 7 transactions. A total of 9 books left the shop! 3 on Mercari 1 on Pango Books and 1 on Ebay. I also had 2 transactions on Paypal. (100% of the profits went to the rescue.) My goal is consistent sales, I ended up listing only 37 books in the month of January. More listings equals more sales!! My net profit was $17.28, BUT I di...

When Your Best Friend Pulls Out A Yearbook 2010

It's so crazy to look back at myself more than 10 years ago - my skinny jeans, converse wearing, side swept bangs and puka shell necklace self. I just noticed my legs are crossed in both photos. John Earl had a mega crush on me, and we were Literary sweethearts and he even bought me my first typewriter : a vintage Royal typewriter with a locking case. He ended up marrying a very pretty girl and he seems like the perfect husband. I was in Literacy Circle (a club for readers) all years in highschool and worked as a media assistant those years too. Funny how I'm looking at this photograph, 10 years later, selling books.

End of Month Reseller Report - July 2021

How much did I make in July? It's August 2nd and I'm taking a look back at my accomplishments. What Sold July 1-7 What Sold July 8-14 What Sold July 15-21 What Sold July 22-31 I made $235.54 selling books. I did my first ever listing challenge and I want to do another one - stricker dead line. List 100 Items in 13 Days. That's half the time it took to do the original challenge. 13 is also the date I was born. A Baker's Dozen. Perfect! When I told Joe at the Post Office I wanted to make $1k or $800 a month he blew a tire and looked skeptical, and he kinda laughed. We both did. Is it such a crazy idea that I deserve this? That at the end of everything, I'll be the owner of a secondhand bookshop. Some cool things I added to my shop: Magic The Gathering Cards, skirts, I opened my Ebay store and added items but haven't completed the set up. Also, my new goal is to make $100 each week by pursuing sales. Offering to likers on Depop which i never do - posting more i...
