On Mercari, the Mythology book sold when i made an offer to a liker for $9 Free Shipping. The selling fee was 90 cents. The processing fee was .56 cents. Shipping was $2.89. My COG was .25 cents. My profit was $4.40. This book almost paid for all the books I sourced last week.




(Kelsey) Mercari coming through again. I got a message asking to bundle some of the Nicholas Sparks books I listed. I always pick him up, he is so plentiful and I'll post his romance books in lots. He has a strong fan base. For $18 shipped I sold A Walk To Remember, The Longest Ride, and A Bend in the Road. The selling fee was $1.80. the processing fee was .82 cents. Shipping costs was $4.01. My COG was .75 cents. My profit $10.62!

My profit was $9.23.

(Note to self: I just realized with media mail that's $4+ I could see if first class is cheaper through Pirate Ship.)


All my sales have been off Mercari! Depop is so dead to me. This book lot was also part of my Listing Challenge. It was a set of 3 Philla Gregorry historical fiction books for $15 free shipping. The selling fee was 1.50. The processing fee was .74 cents. Shipping costs $5.13. I got these books last year for .25 so my COG was .75. My profit was $6.88

On Wonderlust I replied to a ISO post - someone was looking for large skirts/ dresses for a festival. I got this brown skirt recently this year to go with a soft-cosplay pirate outfit but the skirt didn't fit me. I asked for $45 shipped and she accepted. The paypal fee was 1.61. Shipping costs $9.93. I think i paid $3. my profit was $30.46!


My 2nd VHS tape sold! This Velveteen Rabbit tape sold for $9 free shipping. After fees, Etsy deposited $7.55. I'll ship this media mail for $2.89. My COG was only .10 cents. I profited $4.56



Spooky season is around the corner! There is one week left for finals before school is out until next semester, so my friend told me. Maybe the summer slow down really is over because this is the best week so far! On Mercari, someone bought  two ghostly books, and I threw in one free resin bookmark. I was surprised she didn't message me to bundle, so I wanted to throw something in there. Haunted Castles sold for $18 after fees I had $15.38 (the selling fee was 1.80 and the processing fee was 82 cents). Woodsworth Ghost Stories sold for $11 after fees I had $9.28(the selling fee was $1.10 and the processing fee was .62). That's a total of $24.66 before shipping costs!! Shipping was only $3.45. My COG was only .50 cents. My profit was a whopping 20.71!!


It's nice to see Etsy churning out sales! Everytime I run a sale on Etsy, I make a sale. I am very happy with this sale too because it's a very large book. So even if I don't have a lot of profit, it's a book that will free up space for 3 more books. I also had no idea this was book 5 in a series. The Shelters in Stone was $9.95 with 10% off. After fees, Etsy deposited $8.41. Shipping costs was $4.01. My COG was .25 cents. My profit was $4.15


This book sold within a week of listing!! Where the Crawdads Sing sold on FBMP. I accentally purhcased the wrong shipping label (wrong weight) so this will be a learning moment. What happens when you purchase a shipping label but it's the wrong weight? Hopefully USPS charges me the extra amount in postage, instead of charging me a whole separate shipping label. This book was free and sold for $11. The FBMP fee was The shipping costs will be $3.45. My profits were $6.96.



I bumped a bunch of listings I had on Wonderlust and this bundle of hollistic health books sold for $13 shipped. All these books were free. Sold for $13 shipped. The Paypal fee was .68 cents. Shipping costs $4.01. My profit was: $8.31








I turned $6.35 into $129.55!! 

That's 17 books leaving the shop this week. And a large brown skirt! And a leather glasses case. And a VHS tape. 

Very happy with this weeks sales!! 

I also am very grateful for the $145 donation i recieved through Ko-fi. Without this I would not have been able to go to the doctor and get my RX

This week is my #motherearthbooksale and I see it's working for other shops so I'm happy.
