Thrift w/ me: I spend $6.21!!

I should not have gone thrifting.

I should not have gone thrifting.

I found $6 in my purse and I went thrifting to my favorite place hoping that they stocked the books. The shelves were miserably empty, but I didn't want to waste my trip and went around looking for treasure. Hopefully I can sell one of these items to make my money back from this thrift.

Probably the most expensive was the Tommy Hilfinger skirt. I got it because (1) brand name (2) style (3) back to school occasion. This was $3.

This next piece I'm pretty sure is handmade / DIY but it's lovely. It's a large candle jar with a cork lid, and someone glued a stone gardenia. Gardenias is my favorite flower. It was .50 cents. I don't know if I will sell this because it costs a lot to ship. I couldn't resist for .50 cents.

It's perfect for all my book stickers.

I grabbed this vintage metal tin, a teacher probably used it for cards. It was .25 cents and I planned on keeping it for myself for my Magic Cards.

I wonder if this Winnie the Pooh Christmas mug will do good. I got the mug for .25 cents. Maybe if I can find a cute Winnie the Pooh stuffed toy and book I can make a cute gift bundle.

This plaid wallet had such grunge vibes. It looked fairly new, and it was a Mundi Safe Keeper mini billfold wallet which has identity theft protection. For .50 I thought it would be a small easy flip with school around the corner.

i got myself an ACCO black hole puncher. This was $1 and I need one for my journal projects. Or maybe I'll list it I don't know. Looks like I came out and got a bunch of little knick knacks for me and I'm trying to get better at not impulse buying.

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...
