What Sold August 22-31 I turned $3 into $96.46!

 The last sale I had on Depop was 11 days ago, but this is a very good sale! This Scooby Doo book and toy sold for $30 + $3.99 shipping. The Depop fee was $3.40. The Paypal fee was $1.68. Shipping costs is $12.80. (ohh no!! Anthony was in charge of shipping and asked for priority instead of first class.) My COG was a total of .50 cents. My profit was $15.61.

I made my money back from this Thrift with me! 



I may have sold this for too low however I was craving a sale. On Mercari, these vintage AVON frog earrings sold for $9 free shipping. The selling fee was .90 cents. The processing fee was .56. My COG was $1 and my shipping costs were $4.25. My profit then was $2.29.



One of my favorite sales just because this was fun to put together - a Christmas TBR book lot! Sold for $12 shipped. My COG was $1. The selling fee was $1.20. The Processing fee was .65 cents. Shiping costs was $4.45. My profit was $4.70.



This is another book I sold for too low - it was $9 free shipping and it's pretty heavy. At least it was free. The selling fee was .90 cents. The processing fee was .56 cents. Shipping costs was $3.82. My profit was $3.72



the best order I ever had on Etsy - this book I got for free at the library. it sold on Etsy for $72.29. After fees Etsy deposited $66.13! Shipping costs was $3.45. My profit was 62.68!

Scarily enough, it seems like there are shipping delays with this order. Hopefully, everything will be okay. 

I started my new job and almost quit because i was having so much anxiety, so much nerve pain, and i feel like nobody likes me. It makes me miss my old job terribly. 

Another order I had was THe Resuce on Mercari. Sold for $8. Selling fee was .80. the processing fee was .53. COG was .25. Shipping costs was $3.82. my profit was $2.85.




This book sold through Wonderlust to a repeat buyer for $8 shipped. It was sent through facebook payments so there was no fees! COG was .25 cents. Shipping costs was $3.14. My profit was $4.61


Shipping with USPS increased 30% this week, the second mail increase this month. Also Paypal has higher fees now.

Free to E-Bike- $54.02

 It dawned on me that I've been making money from free inventory these last two months. It's a risk free way to get into clothes. I think I have sold more clothes than books.  There was the Free Inventory I received from my neighbor. I was able to get more needful clothes for myself, and I've already sold a few items. Then there was the free inventory I got from the school bus lost and found.  I decided to do a fun series where I save up for a used car. I use my Mercari money for my dental transformation and that is a separate series. I already have a video called Mercari Buys Me Glasses.  Here is my video sourcing at the Lost and Found, I've made two: Not everyone Can source here...free inventory Sourcing at the Lost and Found Recently, on Ebay, I sold this Reebok sweater. It sold for $13.00 buyer paid $4.99 shipping. His total was $19.25, and my profit was $8.92. The Nike blue lunch box was a surprise sell for me, so I went back and picked up the other lunch boxes. It

Goodwill Resell for Profit - Did I Make My Money Back?

    On May 5th I went to Goodwill and purchased books to resell in my secondhand bookshop. I spent a total of $24.67 at Goodwill, but $2 was for personal use. I have already made my money back on these books!        I want to take a look at the sales that came through so far, now everything else in my Goodwill haul that sells will be 100% profit. I also wrote in my previous blog post that I hoped to make my money by the 20th, and it's the 22nd.  The first sale was this Rainbow Brite , like new, book. I listed it for $13 and someone made an offer for $10 within 24 hours of listing. My COG was .99, the selling fee was 1.00 and the processing fee was .91. $8.09 was deposited into my Mercari account. After COG, my profit was $7.10. I am trying to make my money back as fast as possible with this Goodwill experiment. I sent offers to likers and gave a whopping $5 off for this fantasy book lot, the buyer accepted for $17 and paid for shipping.  I forgot that my COG was .99 cents and not

What Sold January 15-21 (My First Week Back!) I turned .25 cents into $13.49!

 I can't believe that the same week I started listing I got sales!! There were three occasions, all sunny afternoons at the end of January between 3 pm and 5pm, right before it got too dark to take pictures. I took photos of all new inventory and chose Pango Books and Mercari to start listing.  There has been a lot of promotions on my Facebook page, the social media platform I spend most of my time on. I joined some facebook groups for resellers. I decided on my next paycheck, I wanted to buy my domain. This side hustle was my dream job, maybe being a teacher feels out of reach. But I've always wanted to be a writer. A bookseller, being my own business owner, maybe. Just maybe that's what I can do!  My reselling goal is to make what I made at my survival job. (I got paid $12/hour and worked 16 hours a week. Some weeks I worked 22 hours.) I'll be satisfied if I make any where between $80- $170. I listed a total of ___ books to each platform, and a total of 3 books sold.
