Thrift With Me!! // Thrift Shoppe Downtown & Healthy Habits

It was fill a bag for $10!!

I tried to pick some pieces that would sell.

Two items I regret picking up.

I stayed within the small-medium range. I got 8 pieces so that means my costs of goods were $1.40.

They only accepted cash. I spent too much on fees. $3 fee at the ATM. $2.50 using an out of service ATM. I only had $11 in cash, so I filled a bag thinking about Daily Refinements motto "Buy at $8 sell for $25."

I spent $11 hopping to make $30.

Having A Separate Account for Business

I signed up for a Chime card and set up my side hustle for direct deposit. sourcing and buying shipping labels today came out of the money I had earned from my latest sales. What a relief! Now I wasn't mixing personal expenses with business expenses. Now I won't overspend. The other financial goal is to set aside money each paycheck to reach the first savings goal: to have one month living expenses.

Setting Up A Savings Account

Cash App added a Savings Account that makes it easier than ever to start saving. You choose a cute emoji for your savings goal. For no fees, I transferred my first $25 into my savings account. I also added the feature (for free) to add my change to my savings account.

8 New Listings

All these items were listed on Depop and Mercari.

On Ebay, I only listed #1, #2, #4, #6.

Pants were a bad buy, I feel like they will sit for years.

I wonder what will be the first to sell?

I'm hoping to make my money back plus $25 in profit.

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...
