Thrift with Me! - I spent $3.75 on these forgotten masterpieces!!

All I had was the change in my purse and since I had walked all the way to the Post Office, I decided to walk the distance to my honey pot, the Hospice. Which is becoming more and more less of a secret.

I gifted Alexander The Final Cut to Anthony because it is his favorite movie. There's 45 minutes of unseen footage for him.

The shelves again were empty of books, so i picked up Trump Surviving at the Top to add to my other Art of the Deal to hopefully sell as a bundle. Before the elections, Trump was a liked guy. On Oprah, in rap songs, and even made an appearance on Home Alone.

Let It Go" is Avril Lavignes first album and my pre teen years on a disc. The case is a little scratched up, but the CD looked in great condition. I haven't put my CD's up for sell yet since I want to test them first.

The Scooby-Doo Storybook Collection is too perfect. I will put it together with a Scooby Doo plush toy and list right away. It only has a name in the front and has all clean pages. Love Scoob!!

Of course I picked up Rooster's Off to the See the World, since Eric Carle passed away this year in May at 91 years old, and now everyone is after his books even more so.

Inch by Inch is by Leo with the same collage art style, so I might throw that in with a bundle.

Now for the forgotten masterpiece!!

*que Dreamworks "Deliver Us"

I could not let go of The Prince of Egypt which was my best find because it's going for some money on Amazon and Ebay. The soundtrack is badass, I still listen to songs like "Deliver Us" "When You Believe" "All I Ever Wanted" and "Through Heaven's Eyes" When i was a kid, we saw this movie on the big screen and it was groundmaking, like with the scene when Moses parts the Red Sea. This is also at a time when 3d animation is being played with, and you can see that in some parts, it's done very well. Honestly one of the best animated classics the last 20 years has seen for sure.

I'm getting better at being more selective of what I purchase to resell, especially since I still have a lot. Today is the first day I'm feeling better from this terrible toothache that I've had since Friday. It's Wednesday!

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...

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...

Selling on Ebay for Beginners - Pt. 1

I am brand new to selling on Ebay, I avoided it because I personally felt that the interface felt outdated, I never buy anything on Ebay, and Ebay seems intimidating . On the other platforms I sell on, it is so easy and fast to list. When I listed my first item, it felt like I was filing out paperwork at a doctor's office. It's going to take some time to get used to Ebay's layout, a newcomer can't navigate the Seller's Hub so quickly. It's free to register. Ebay will send an amount to your bank you have to confirm to receive payments. When you first start out, you can only list 10 items per month, this renews every 90. You have to build up your "feedback" - so I'll have to make a purchase or two through Ebay. (Going to see if I can find a Samsung Technologies Q2U microphone to upgrade my Podcast!) This link below is essential reading for new Ebay sellers: https://export.ebay.com/en/listings/limits/selling-limits/ The website says 10, but I was onl...
