What Sold September 22-30 - I spent $6 and made $73.47!

 I was so escatic when this item sold. I purchased this last year, it is a horse print denim jacket. Very unique. It sold on Depop which is the perfect market for it. I don't remember what I paid - I'm going to say $3 from the Hospice. It sold for $43 Free Shipping. The Depop fee was -4.30. The paypal fee was 2.06. Shipping cost was $5.42. My profit was $28.22. It's too bad that I didn't charge for shipping. The crazy thing was - I had a dream the night before this sold and it sold. 






This book sold on Mercari for $19, it is a Landmark book on Ferdinand!! The selling fee was $1.90. The processing fee was .85 cents. Shipping was 3.19. my COG was .25. I also got this recently but looks like I don't have a post about it. My profit was $12.81


This book sold on FBMP and it was free, I got it from the free little library, I'm so blessed it's down the road. It's called You Can Garden Anywhere. It sold for $6 and buyer paid for shipping. My profit was $6.


I accepted an offer on Mercari for $12 for three Barbara Kingsolver books: The Poisonwood Bible, Homeland, and Flight Behavior. The selling fee was $1.20 and the processing fee was .65. My COG was .75. Shipping costs was$4.45_. My profit was $4.95__.

So happy this sold on FBMP! Buyer paid for shipping. I paid $2 for this Harry Potter potions toy set, it came out during the first film. My listing price was $20. My profit will be $18.54, well, after COG it will be $16.54. I actually have a youtube video when I got this ( Thrift with me August )





I am out of polymailers this week, so I'll have to reorder some soon. Having this job at Subway has been the best, I treat Subway as my best investor. I also started paying myself every other week, one of the best business decisions I've ever made.

We are heading into Q4, I need to knock out a bunch of listings from my death pile. I'v also gotten in the habit of relisting my items on Depop instead of just bumping my items.

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.
