A subscriber sent me $300 to go shopping and I spent $124 on stuff I CANNOT resell. They were all BAD BUYS!! I am going to do my best to list everything from this haul and recoup my money. If I had just followed ONE SIMPLE step, I would have avoided this costly mistake.
Don't Shop at Mom and Pop Stores
Check for chips, cracks, wheels, chargers
I will have to sell these Apple salt and pepper shakers for $10 to make my $8 back. I thought they made cute cottagecore, whimsy, fall decor. I did NOT notice the chip until I was taking photos. Listed on Depop, Mercari, IG, and FB pg.
Of course, I couldn't resist the equally adorable Corn salt and pepper shakers. Maybe these will have a higher chance of selling due to Thanksgiving around the corner? These were only $5.
Why did I buy this wooden toy? Was it a dragon? A worm? When I got home, I tried to pull it by the strings and it did not roll smoothly. $10 down the drain. I ponder painting it. I thought with Christmas around the corner it would make a cute nursery decoration or christmas decoration. It had an original price of $25.
I am only going to list the cleaning lady for one week, if it doesn't sell for my full asking price then I keep her. I saw her the last time I was there and was hoping she'd still be there waiting. (I work as a custodian.) And there's something handmade about it.
This one was a waste for sure. I hope I can get back any amount of money for it, be it a yardsale or whatever I have to do. It was a set of portable DVD players. I don't know what was in my mind but the nostalgia for it - obviously kids have ipads now. I paid a whopping $35. I don't even know if they work!!
That wasn't the worse buy. I saved the best for last.
I wish I had not seen it on the top shelf. I paid $50 for a Nikon n60 camera, it did come with film, a fancy lense Nikon AF NIKKOR 35-80mm F/ 4-5.6 D Lens, but i paid the most for this camera. I'm going to take some photos, and I can't even test it. I fell for the sleek look of early 90's technology. These were discontinued in 2001, but at the time were sold in stores for $1500. It has been 30 years since this camera debut, and a LOT has changed. This camera was at the time, and still is, a professional film camera.
I also got a small coffee maker for $5, that's for personal use. Thank goodness!!
But she did overcharge me. everything was $113, not $118. Then she charged me $9 for taxes. That's how I was charged $127.
