What Sold September 8-14: I turned $5.74 into $83.01!!

On Mercari, I sold my skull and rose top. That's great it sold within a week of listing, so I can feel a little bit better about thrifting Septeber 9th. It sold for $15. the selling fee was $1.50. the processing fee was .74 cents.  buyer paid for shipping. My COG was .25. My profit $12.51.


Also on Mercari, on September 11th's 20th anniversary, I sold "The Last Plane in the Sky, an Oral History of 9/11" for $19. I got this book sometimes in September, I forgot to post a thrift with me. The selling fee was $1.90. the processing fee .85. My COG was .25. Shipping costs was  $3.82. My profit was $12.18.


I made so many sales on FBMP. On Thursday, I spent 3pm to 8 pm listing as many items from Depop to FBMP - I think I got 33/100 and I've made 5 sales in just 24 hours!!! I sold Stephen King, buyer paid for shipping. We became friends on facebook even! I love making friends over the love of books. She is also disabled so I am sending her 2 mystery books, this will be a fun experiment, plus she paid for shipping so if I keep it under 2 pounds, I should be okay.

Stephen King sold for $4, buyer paid for shipping. FBMP selling fee is only .40 cents. MY COG was .25. That makes my profit $3.60 + I made a happy customer with the two mystery books which are Must Love Dogs and Girl on the Train. (one involves pets and one is a murder mystery )



Also on FBMP this book about Steelers Franco Harris, I sold for $8 buyer paid for shipping. The selling fee was only .62. My profit was 7.38. 


I got this leopard print skirt last year. I would not normally pick something like this up, but I was watching reselling videos and everyone was saying that leopard print was trending. Lo and behold, this sold within hours of listing. It's a Michaels' Kor's offbrand i think, leopard print skirt that sold on FBMP for $15. the Facebook selling fee was 1.44. My profit was $13.90.


These books sold seperately on FBMP. Buyer paid for shipping. They are horror/ suspense books. Sleep Walk and Every Secret Thing. Every Secret Thing I got for free. Love when I flip things that were free. Every Secret Thing sold for $5 free shipping, FBMP selling fee was .40. My profit for that book was $4.60. Sleep Walk sold for $6 and buyer paid shipping. (I shipped these in the same polymailer.) THE FBMP fee was .52. My profit was $5.48. My total profit would be $10.08. 




Noticed that my sales were slow this week compared to last week, so I power listed a batch of 14 books on FBMP. It sold within an hour of listing. It's called The Fault within Our Stars, sold for $4. Buyer paid for shipping. the FB selling fee was .40 cents. My COG was .25 cents. My profit was $3.35.



This dress took so long to sell! I got it last year, September 4th. Here is the blog excerpt from my old previous blog 
 
"Thanks to watching lots of resell videos, I found a BOLO dress – it’s by CHICO’s, and i picked it up first because it’s burgundy with this pretty botanical print. I put it back when it wasn’t my size, then went to check the tag, i’ll put it up right away since it’s got fall colors and can transition well from the end of fall too."

I accepted an offer for $28 and the buyer paid for shipping. The selling fee was $2.80. The processing fee was $1.11. I can't remember how much I spent on this dress, I'm going to say around $3.99. My profit was $20.01. I'm so happy this sold!!

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...

What Sold July 1-7

 These weekly What Sold posts kept me organized, so I'm bringing them back. I review what items sold on each platform, how much it sold, the fees, and what my profit was. Every month I have the same goal to make $350, but my dream goal is to make $800 per month just by selling books. I currently sell on Depop, Mercari, Instagram, Etsy, and various Facebook groups. Depop has been incredibly slow - I have not made any July sales yet. In June I had 4 orders, in May I had 3, in April I had 6 orders, 7 orders in March, 9 in February, and 7 in January. That gives you an idea how many orders come through Depop and why it's important to cross list. I think I have more sales on Mercari. The Summer Slowdown is here! I haven't made any sales yet on Mercari in July. Mercari makes it a little harder to view your sales history in chronological order, but here is how many orders went through each month this year 2021 on Mercari: January - | | | | | | February - March - | | | | | | | | Ap...

Selling on Ebay for Beginners - Pt. 1

 I am brand new to selling on Ebay, I avoided it because I personally felt that the interface felt outdated, I never buy anything on Ebay, and Ebay seems intimidating . On the other platforms I sell on, it is so easy and fast to list. When I listed my first item, it felt like I was filing out paperwork at a doctor's office. It's going to take some time to get used to Ebay's layout, a newcomer can't navigate the Seller's Hub so quickly. It's free to register. Ebay will send an amount to your bank you have to confirm to receive payments. When you first start out, you can only list 10 items per month, this renews every 90. You have to build up your "feedback" - so I'll have to make a purchase or two through Ebay. (Going to see if I can find a Samsung Technologies Q2U microphone to upgrade my Podcast!) This link below is essential reading for new Ebay sellers: https://export.ebay.com/en/listings/limits/selling-limits/ The website says 10, but I was onl...
