Books That Sold During My Listing Challenge 2021

Out of 100 books that were listed, these were the ones that sold for me at the time of finishing this listing challenge (July 18th Completed the Listing Challenge)

I decided to look back on July, at the 100 Items Listed, and compile what sold by the end of the month in one blog post. 

Day 1

Day 2

Day 3

Day 4

Day 7

Day 11

Day 19

Day 21

Day 22

Day 24

Day 26

It took me 26 days to complete the 100 Item Listing Challenge. 

My COG was $6.99. My profit on these books were $109.46. A total of 34 books out of the shop!

Hopefully as the fall rolls in, more of these books will sell! I like to keep books no more than 6 months but I have held on to books for a year that eventually sold.

If 18 books out of 100 sold and I made $109, how many do i need to list to make my dream goal of $800? 

I like to look at it like a math problem - if only 10% of what I list sells, and that 10% makes me $$$, how many items do i need to list to make my desired monthly income? This is how you use data to get the results you want. This is how you are able to set achievable goals. I'm wondering what my next listing challenge should be?

100 items in 2 days?

how many can i list in 1 hour?

What Sold Oct 8-14 // I turned $4.25 into $75.57

 Did I do better than the week before? I barely listed any items. Days went by where I didn't list. I had sales on all 3 platforms. My COG was free. adidas Boys track jacket, small child 7/8, outdoors winter workout =$3.91 AUTOGRAPHED America : Imagine a World Without Her, Dinesh D'Souza non fiction = $4.35  1970's football dolphins steelers nonfiction biography vintage NFL sports books = $1.31 colleen hoover books bundle paperback thriller bestseller = $8.09 Dorothy wizard of oz Halloween costume cosplay blue gingham dress = $12.42 Oathblood Mercedes Lackey paperback vintage used book fantasy =$1.99 A Court of Thorns and Roses by Sarah J. Maas = $7.50 Y2k denim overbust shrug / bolero asymmetrical = $40.25 $79.82 - $4.25 COG = $75.57 These are the kind of weeks I like as a hobbiest/ side hustle. $80-$200 a week is preferable. But there's a LOT of work into reselling, you should set your goals higher. $100 a day. 

Listing Challenge: I listed like Daily Refinement for A Week

 Daily Refinement says you can make $100 a day if you list 5 items that will make you $20 profit. I really like how he puts this into perspective, plus, this challenge motivates you to list items that are worth your time. It's October 1st, and I need to list 5 items! Already the challenge of having enough to source at that high value is evident. All my items I got for free or have been in my closet for a long time. I also want my main focus to be Ebay and Mercari.  The first item I listed was this rare, vintage y2k denim overbust shrug bolero. I got this years ago when I started shopping on Poshmark for myself. Or maybe it was Vinted. I don't remember. I have this listed at $85 depop/ mercari /  The second item was a pair of black leather boots, brand new they ran a little big for me but I think they would go great for cosplay as well as casual wear.  I have these priced at $55. depop / mercari / ebay  Next was a pair of Nautica jeans. Not sure how well this siz...
