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



This book sold on Mercari while I was packaging orders. The Wizard, the Witch and the Two Girls from Jersey sold for $10 Free Shipping. The selling fee was $1. The processing fee was .59. Shipping cost was $2.89. My COG was free. My profit $5.52.




I turned $3.25 into $62.65!

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...
