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

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.

Next was a pair of Nautica jeans. Not sure how well this size will do.  These are priced from $29 - $24

This next one I took the liberty of pricing it whatever I wanted because it was a SIGNED copy of a nonfiction book in the true crime / memoir genre. I priced it at $45, and it includes a blood splatter bookmark.

Lastly, I listed this Honda Clymer service repair manuel book for $25. I'm not sure if it will sell on Depop to be honest, or Mercari, but I listed it on Mercari just in case. And I like the pink color book, since everything in my Depop shop is color coded. I'm sure it will sell on Ebay. Maybe I should not have wasted my time listing it on the other two platforms.



I know DR wants us to also list things with a high sell through rate. I'm hoping these items sell within 2  - 4 weeks. I also understand that I may not be able to list or source items that can be sold for more than $20, SO that means, I will try to list items that will sell quickly, within the month.

I also need to make drafts so I can complete my challenge on Monday, Wednesday, and Friday, my busy days.  I've been listing since 3 pm and its 5 pm. In that time I've cross listed these 5 items on platforms depop and mercari, and photographed all those items. (I also dealt with Mercari crashing while trying to upload 10 photos, storage overload on my phone, and now my phone needs to charge after 2 hours of usage.) Oh! and I made a sandwich.


While my phone charges, I'll list these items on Ebay (while watching reseller youtube) and then start making drafts for tomorrow. I always want to try to stay a day (or week) ahead. 


I don't want to work more than 4 hours a day on this reselling hustle. I am looking for another job even if it means breaking up with my school job because I need to take responsibility.

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.
