What Sold: June 15-21 I made $73.78 from free inventory!

Can I make more than I did last week? My first week of June, I made $34.62. Last week, I made $30.67.

This item sold quickly after listing. It was a Cinch pullover, I took an offer for $9. This was free from the Lost and Found. Buyer paid shipping. My profit was $7.12.

White Oleander sold for $8. I did put Free Shipping recently to move older inventory out. I listed this a few months ago, this will ship for $4.35 and I am left over with a profit of $2.12.

I am a little sad this one sold, I wanted to keep it for myself or at least get more money. It has a handmade stamp of 83' at the bottom - it's a ceramic ducks in a row figurine. "Get your ducks in a row" is a cute saying. I paid .25 three years ago. It's been sitting in my shop for a few months, it sold for an offer on Depop of $5. Shipping was $4.31. My profit was $5.34.

I' VE ONLY MADE $14.58 profit!!

I immediately set out offers, I need the money is my mindset. Let everything go. I have an attachment to some of my items. I'm working on not having that attachment and getting that money. Daily Refinement said in one of his videos that if you are listing every day but not making any sales, to stop listing and fix your listings.

Ebay is so much like Etsy!!

But I did make some great sales and happy to report that I made more than I did last week! This is my record sales week for June 2023! Love the items that sold, a plush toy, a free item from the lost and found, and a book I picked up sometime last year, when I got better at sourcing books.

Invader Zim plush I bought for $1, it sold on Mercari for $42!! Buyer paid shipping. After fees, my profit was $35.94, minus the COG (I bought this over a year ago and FINALLY listed it but i wont count that.)

This book, The Intruder, sold for $4. Buyer paid shipping. My profit was $2.86. I purchased this book for a quarter a while back.

So cool that this Nike lunchbox sold! I think i priced it right at $8, i saw it new for $20 plus shipping and others had it at $13 or $10, I got this for free, I also had to change the shipping b/c it was too high, when i did it sold. I made $6.32.

This buyer on Depop got lucky! Every week I've been doing a sale to push items and this was a 40% off sale. They bought two dark academia books - The Unspeakable People and The Mill on the Floss. (The Mill on the Floss was from my Goodwill buys, which I've already made my money back on!!) Free shipping. Buyer paid $16.80 for both, my earnings after fees was $14.08.

Not bad, i didn't count my COG since it was from a year ago. Now I need to update my Goodwill challenge!

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...
