Fall Book Haul 🍂🍂

It's been months since I've bought books! MONTHS!!

I closed my shop earlier this year and packed up hundreds and hundreds of books but you know what? I miss my bookshop. I love shopping for books and I have a talent for finding valuable vintage books. I also can't help but buy my favorite books even if I have copies at home, I can't resist fonts and cute covers and that perfectly sized paperback.

I also want to promote books to raise money for my animals, and then continue doing the work for other fosters. Moo Books was that title I gave, but I see it's more like a slang term. Hyla Brook Books is my official store name, #moobooks are the books that sell for fosters.

12 books. 12 seemlingly random books. Was I planning on reselling any? Any for me?

From the top left to right:

Charlotes Web, The Time Traverler's Wife, 1998 Scooby-Doo and the Haunted Castle

Middle left to right:

Flinston's Blast from the Past, The Glass Castle, The Personality of the Dog, Short Stories of Famous Women, A Dog Called Kitty

Bottom left to right:

Clifford's First Fall (spanish), For the Love of Rescue Dogs, 77 Things to Know About Cats, The Alchemist.

Look, I can explain. Each book is a quarter so for 12 books that's $3. (There's another tiny board book I gave to Aranza, it's Peter Rabbit. super cute tiny orange book.) I do plan to resell the animal books locally, to raise money for these fosters.

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.
