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.

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...
