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.

November Plan With Me / 2020

I have an online secondhand bookshop using Etsy, Depop, and Mercari. I also have a rare nerve disease called CRPS that is gradully getting worse. Hyla brook Books isn't just a distraction, it's a benediction. I applied for my dream job: an children's librian assistant at the library. I had hope that I could make a living of $300/ week reselling - but my record sales in a month was $351.13 (August report). It's my dream to make a living selling my art and books.  What are my top 3 goals for the month of November? Make $390 - sell my art work - list 300 items across all platforms What are my weekly goals to accomplish my monthly goals? One resin project a week - make a scheduling routine-  focus on books with high resell value - create space to photograph  What could I have done differently in the previous month to improve my shop revenue? List every day 2-4 items or 10-15 listings. Use art to heal. Engage more. List clothes! | How Much Did I Make in October ?...

What Happened To the Declutter Deathpile Series?

 There were two main objectives in the Declutter Deathpile series, or The Minn Game: 1. Get rid of clutter by removing items from my apartment.  "out with the old, in with the new."  "everything must go"  "letting go of what no longer serves my business" and not listing items that are not worth my time. 2. complete within 30 days removing 1 pound of stuff on day 1, 2 pounds of stuff on day 2, and so on and forth. "a weight off my shoulders" "quantifying how much I let go." "make sure items are removed by midnight that day" I had planned to make consistent content, a video update every 3 days throughout the month I cleaned out stale inventory.  Declutter My Deathpile / The Minn Game / Days 1 & 2 New Years Resolutions Declutter with Me// Reseller Deathpile/ Days 3,4,5 of The Minn Game Declutter my Deathpile with Me / The Forgotten Stories / A Poem Declutter my Deathpile day by day / reseller plays minamlist game I want to br...
