What Sold July 15-21

 Is the Summer Slow down coming to a close?! I had a lot of sales this week compared to my previous weeks.


On Mercari someone asked to bundle two vintage children's books - Tweety's Picnic and Little Red Riding Hoods Little Lamb. They sold for $10. The selling fee was $1. The processing fee was .59 cents. Shipping costs was $3.45. These were purchased a year ago, very stale inventory. I spent .25 cents for each so my COG would be .50 cents. My profit was: $4.46


 Finally an order on Depop! My last order on depop was 17 days ago! This is a book I got for free and it's also stale inventory. (Just look at how i took the photo, I really miss taking it this way) All Over But the Shoutin sold for $6.44 free shipping. The Depop fee was .60 cents. The Paypal fee was .49 cents. Shipping costs was $2.89. My profit was: $2.46


Holy shit! This sold within an hour of listing. It's the collection of Fearstreet books I sold for $17 shipped. The selling fee is $1.70. The processing fee .79. Shipping costs $3.45. I can't remember my COG, I remember getting this at the Hospice so say a quarter a piece then that's $1.50. My profit is: $10.26


I knew this book would sell in Wonderlust, but I was surprised it sold to one of my best readers, she has scooped up all my rare and valuable nature books. It sold for $13 Free Shipping, and there was only a  Paypal fee which was .68 cents. Shipping cost was $2.89. I got this at the Estate Sale down the road last year (here is the post) and I already made all my money back from that sale. This is 100% profit - which was $9.43


Here is a book that was in the box Anna gave me to me. I think I priced it too low, but they were books 2,3, and 4 and i haven't come across 1 in the wild yet. They were also used and one had some very mild water damage. It sold on Depop for $7.10. The Depop fee was .71 and the processing fee was .51. Shipping costs was $3.45. My profit was: $2.43




Another book from my listing challenge! These sold on Etsy for $30.49 while I had a 20% off sale. After fees, Etsy deposited $25.04. Shipping cost was $4.57. I paid a quarter for each book so my COG was $1. My profit was: $19.47



This sold in Wonderlust was this book called Becoming the Enchanter for $13 shipped. The Paypal fee was .68 cents. Shipping costs was $3.45. My COG was .25. My profit was $8.62
