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.

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.
