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

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.

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.
