What Sold Oct 1 - 7 // I turned FREE into $61.70!!

I'm spending more of my time on Mercari and developing my own website for Hyla Brook Books. The fees on Ebay, the entitlement of shoppers on Depop, and the lack of repeat buyers on Mercari, and the fees on Etsy - these have all driven me to think a website would be better than selling on these platforms.

I want my buyers to say "I got this from Hyla Brook Books." not Ebay. Not Etsy. 

I am saving all my earnings into a seperate bank account. Keeping my personal and business expenses seperate is vital. 

Right now, my mindset is: get rid of all my inventory and start over.
