What Sold August 8-14 I turned $3 into $85.02!

 







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.

End of the Month Reseller Report // January 2023

I am a part time reseller on Mercari, Pango Books, and Ebay. I flip books online, I love having an online bookstore. Here is a break down of my January sales. This was my first month back reselling! I am hosting a giveaway to welcome back all my readers over on my Facebook page where I am giving away 12 vintage true crime novels. I also wanted to celebrate by doing a fundraiser to raise money and awareness for my favorite cat rescue.  My Cost of Goods were .25! I didn't have to pay anything in shipping, here's a small break down of the platform fees: Mercari:  -$3.56 Pango Books:   -.79 Ebay:   $-1.31 Overall, I had a total of 7 transactions. A total of 9 books left the shop! 3 on Mercari 1 on Pango Books and 1 on Ebay. I also had 2 transactions on Paypal. (100% of the profits went to the rescue.) My goal is consistent sales, I ended up listing only 37 books in the month of January. More listings equals more sales!!  My net profit was $17.28, BUT I di...

When Your Best Friend Pulls Out A Yearbook 2010

It's so crazy to look back at myself more than 10 years ago - my skinny jeans, converse wearing, side swept bangs and puka shell necklace self. I just noticed my legs are crossed in both photos. John Earl had a mega crush on me, and we were Literary sweethearts and he even bought me my first typewriter : a vintage Royal typewriter with a locking case.  He ended up marrying a very pretty girl and he seems like the perfect husband.  I was in Literacy Circle (a club for readers) all years in highschool and worked as a media assistant those years too.  Funny how I'm looking at this photograph, 10 years later, selling books. 

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...
