These two nature themed books sold on Wonderlust for $23.40. the Paypal fee was $1.31. Shipping was $3.45. My COG was a quarter. My profit $18.39.

My friend donated to my Ko-fi, without her help I would not have been able to get a doctor's appointment and I need to take my depression/nerve medication at least for my followers who really care about me and what to see me get better. 

I haven't listed anything in days due to my toothache, i'm miserable tbh. Even Anthony has been saying things like "Why don't you just go lie down, go to bed?" or "I'm sorry your tooth hurts so much."

I am also still trying to figure out the shipping for this record/LP. I'm going to have to make one with cardboard, and i did see some in a trash can outside the postoffice that's very thick/ high end.


After a lot of relisting, Barney's Favorite Mother Goose Ryhmes sold on Depop for $12. The  Depop fee was $1.20. The Processing fee was .67. Shipping costs $2.89 . COG was .25. My profit $7.24




Home Wisdom sold within 3 weeks of listing for $12 on Mercari. The selling fee was $1.20. The Processing fee was .65. Shipping costs $2.89. My COG was .25. My profit $7.01.





This next book sold on Etsy, Letters from the Earth. After fees, $13.43 was deposited to my bank account. Shipping costs was $3.45. I already made my money back from this Estate sale so this was all profit. My profit was $9.98.



On Mercari, someone made an offer for $11 on this signed paperback book called Farewell, Dorothy Parker.  I did pay a quarter for this. Mercari selling fee was -1.10. The Processing fee was .62. Shipping costs $2.89. My profit $6.14.

I listed this today in an effort to squeeze in as many sales today to finish off the end of the second week of August good! I'm proud - this is my second Kate Spade eyeglasses case I sold. Sold on FBMP for $18 shipped. The FBMP fee was .97 cents. Shipping costs $5.50 first class. It cost me .50 cents. My profit was $11.03.





And then I accepted this kind offer on Mercari for my Hozier LP album, the second record I sold in one week. I will def. be searching for records now. I had it listed for $45 shipped, I accepted an offer for $35 shipped. Just got to make sure to ship it out on Monday!! That's super awesome. I spent $1.50 on the record. The Mercari selling fee was $3.50. The processing fee was $1.32. Shipping costs $3.45. My profit was $25.23.

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...
