What Sold June 8-14, i turned ZERO dollars into $30.67!

 Can I make more than the week before? Remember I made __ in the month of May 2023.  One of the books that sold was from my Goodwill  Trip on May 1st. I've already made my money back so it's nice seeing the profit from that haul.  


I got a bundle on Depop, that's a good start! On Depop, I sold Detective Arthur on the Scent for $7, a teddy bear book for $2.95, and Out here at the front, The World War 1 letters for $10.50. I have Free Shipping and a discount running in my Depop store right now to generate sales. The total price was $20.45, the Depop fee was 2.05. My total was $18.40. Shipping cost was $4.35. I also had to buy a polymailer, that was $1.75. My profit was $12.30. the two books were free, and this detective book was from the Goodwill haul, so it's 100% profit.










Another sale happened on Mercari, it was this vintage dinosaur book. It sold for $11 and paid shipping.  This is another book I got for free. My profit was $8.94




Another sale on Mercari was a cookbook, another ex library book I got for free, it sold for $4 and buyer paid shipping. My profit was $2.86




Last week's What Sold June 1-7 



I've made $24.10 and last week was $34.62. I need to make $10.52. I want to make sure my sales are increasing! 



Very lucky I got another sale, so grateful! It was another FREE COG item, a beanie I got from the school lost and found. I sold it for $5 plus shipping. My profit was $3.71

I am so bummed that Ebay hasnt had any sales. I need another sale to break even, and another sale to profit more than I did last week. It's still early in the day, at 3:51 PM. 




Nice! Another small sale happened. I knew this book would sell, it's by a popular author who just published a new book. And I've heard a lot of good reviews. People we Meet on Vacation was also FREE, sold for $4 buyer paid shipping. I made $2.86


This week, I had 5 orders, my COG was free. My total profit this week was $30.67
