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.

I wonder what will be the first to sell?

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

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.
