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.

What Sold July 1-7

These weekly What Sold posts kept me organized, so I'm bringing them back. I review what items sold on each platform, how much it sold, the fees, and what my profit was. Every month I have the same goal to make $350, but my dream goal is to make $800 per month just by selling books. I currently sell on Depop, Mercari, Instagram, Etsy, and various Facebook groups. Depop has been incredibly slow - I have not made any July sales yet. In June I had 4 orders, in May I had 3, in April I had 6 orders, 7 orders in March, 9 in February, and 7 in January. That gives you an idea how many orders come through Depop and why it's important to cross list. I think I have more sales on Mercari. The Summer Slowdown is here! I haven't made any sales yet on Mercari in July. Mercari makes it a little harder to view your sales history in chronological order, but here is how many orders went through each month this year 2021 on Mercari: January - | | | | | | February - March - | | | | | | | | Ap...
