What Sold June 22-30: making $43 selling used books

What sold the last week of June? How much did I make June 2023?

Strawberry Girl. Someone messaged me about the book if it had the original price, it did not, to my surprised it was clipped. So I offered her this vintage book $8 plus shipping. (I was asking for $20.) The buyer accepted. This book was from my free Library sale. After fees and shipping I made $5.86.

I was surprised when this sold! This to me proves that fixing my listings has helped. These Banana Republic jeans sold for $13 plus the buyer paid shipping. I got these jeans for FREE! They were from my neighbor, after her garage sale that I went to! That was so so nice of her. I'll post the yard sale video, she ends up giving me all the clothes you see in the video! My profit was $10.10.

Alot of Depop orders came over the weekend! Genuinly surprised, but I realized everyone is home from school. Some students stay home with their parents and have money to splurge. I am also running a sale every week plus when you buy two items you get free shipping.

Rocks and Minerals finally sold! I thought this gem would sell sooner. It sold for $5.25, buyer paid $3.99 shipping. It cost $3.65 to ship. My profit was $3.90. This book was FREE.

Another book from my Goodwill trip in May sold! It was the beloved Frog and Toad book. I had it priced at 4.99 but it sold on sale for $3.74. Remember, I paid .99 for the book BUT I've already made my money back. Buyer paid shipping. shipping was 3.65. My profit was $2.60.

So far, that's $22.46...

This sale kinda hurt. On Depop I have a running sale going on AND Free Shipping, and these two books that sold - Microwave Nature Crafts and Foliage Plants - are both heavy hardcovers. The buyer only paid 8.69, BUT these are more from my "death pile". Shipping ended up being $5.05. My profit was just $3.64.

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.

And lastly, I sold this bundle of vintage romance books for $10. I made $8.04 on these books that have been in my deathpile for over two years!

43.06 is what I earned the last week of June. How will I ever make it to 2k? 3k?

This book sold within a month of listing, The Goldfinch. I recently relisted this week too, for $4.50 + $3.99 shipping. (Before I relisted this book, it was $9 shipped.

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.
