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?

I am a part time reseller on Mercari, Pango Books, and Ebay. I flip books online, I love having an online bookstore. Here is a break down of my January sales. This was my first month back reselling!

I also wanted to celebrate by doing a fundraiser to raise money and awareness for my favorite cat rescue. My Cost of Goods were .25! I didn't have to pay anything in shipping, here's a small break down of the platform fees: Mercari: -$3.56 Pango Books: -.79 Ebay: $-1.31 Overall, I had a total of 7 transactions. A total of 9 books left the shop! 3 on Mercari 1 on Pango Books and 1 on Ebay. I also had 2 transactions on Paypal. (100% of the profits went to the rescue.) My goal is consistent sales, I ended up listing only 37 books in the month of January. More listings equals more sales!! My net profit was $17.28, BUT I di...

When Your Best Friend Pulls Out A Yearbook 2010

It's so crazy to look back at myself more than 10 years ago - my skinny jeans, converse wearing, side swept bangs and puka shell necklace self. I just noticed my legs are crossed in both photos. John Earl had a mega crush on me, and we were Literary sweethearts and he even bought me my first typewriter : a vintage Royal typewriter with a locking case. He ended up marrying a very pretty girl and he seems like the perfect husband. I was in Literacy Circle (a club for readers) all years in highschool and worked as a media assistant those years too. Funny how I'm looking at this photograph, 10 years later, selling books.

End of Month Reseller Report - July 2021

How much did I make in July? It's August 2nd and I'm taking a look back at my accomplishments. What Sold July 1-7 What Sold July 8-14 What Sold July 15-21 What Sold July 22-31 I made $235.54 selling books. I did my first ever listing challenge and I want to do another one - stricker dead line. List 100 Items in 13 Days. That's half the time it took to do the original challenge. 13 is also the date I was born. A Baker's Dozen. Perfect! When I told Joe at the Post Office I wanted to make $1k or $800 a month he blew a tire and looked skeptical, and he kinda laughed. We both did. Is it such a crazy idea that I deserve this? That at the end of everything, I'll be the owner of a secondhand bookshop. Some cool things I added to my shop: Magic The Gathering Cards, skirts, I opened my Ebay store and added items but haven't completed the set up. Also, my new goal is to make $100 each week by pursuing sales. Offering to likers on Depop which i never do - posting more i...
