What Sold Jan 1-14 / New Years Yardsale / Thrifted Finds / Family Prayer Center / Thrift Haul


Dana Findwell is a reseller on youtube who talks about how she calculated her COG's. She lists when she went sourcing, where she went sourcing, how many items were sourced, how much I spent in total, and then i can come up with my average cost of good - instead of a line by line item.

i Also want to keep track of when I list an item. This way I know if it took 2 weeks or 2 days to sell. 


WHAT SOLD JAN 1-2



First sale of the year was on Ebay. i purchased these books at the Hospice over two years ago. 


On Etsy, one of my rare occult books sold. I got this book for free from the Free Library. 



There was a New Years sale in my shop and it sold. 



On Facebook Marketplace I had a local sale for a Carhartt hoodie. I made $25 cash. This was Free from the Lost and Found. 


Another awesome sale on Ebay was this lot of horror books. I got these years ago and some of them were for free. It sold immediately on Ebay and i've been trying to sell them individually since October.




I FINALLY listed this Nikon camera i got at the Overton flea market. I bought this with Anna last year, 2024, and I spent $3. I don't think I will count the COG though due to the fact that I purchased it last year and it was in my "money pile" for months. 






Another item that sold that I'm so thankful for was on Depop. It is this Real Tree camo jacket. (I made a mistake and purchased a shipping label instead of using the Depop label the customer bought. No worries, all I do is refund / cancel the pirateship and reach out to Depop support to send me the shipping label, b/c I already marked the item as shipped there was an issue with the shipping label.)

 




In total, as of Januray 5th, I've made a profit of $132.93!!!



On January 1st I celebrated by going to a yardsale on the way to the cat shelter! I spent $30, which is OKAY and JUSTIFIED because I made $25 from the Carhartt hoodie. (I'm waiting until the funds are in my account and the items are delievered before I count my Ebay and Etsy funds.)

This means my business is negative -$5 until I can make some sales!!


WHAT I THRIFTED FOR $30

3 Sellable items = $10 per item


Made in Japan porcelian deer
LISTED

 


I had no business buying this thing, taking it home. It can't be sold and it was recalled.



Panasonic camcorder 

LISTED

this piece of 80's style gaudy jewelry had some rust on it, unfortunately.



a free bag of clothes but honestly they were all picked out by Jade and they are not cute or anything. I'm debating if I will even list any of them, it would take too much time for little return. Honestly, it kinda bothered me since I kept trying to tell my friend that I didn't want more clothes, I had enough, no seriously, I don't want more clothes.



This nebulizer was for me, but then I realized the cord was ripped. A dud

I got this baseball glove, but it was wet, and i think this ruins the leather.


  

I picked up this 2005 GPS expedition device. 

LISTED






On January 3rd, I went to the Family Prayer Center since they had a fill a bag day for $10. (I know. Just because there is a sale doesn't mean I have to shop that sale.) but I had fun. I spent a total of $18.40.

When I showed off these dragons, I was encouraged to keep them for myself. I couldn't leave them behind, even if they didn't have a brand name, the dragons would look great on my bookshelf full of children's literature and fairy tales. 






Here's the clothes I got for $10:


red wool vest
LISTED

VS bra (for me)


army green vintage curdouroy skirt


Eileen Fisher linen dress



under armor red tshirt



Philly Eagles onsie



snow leopard bag


tommy bahama swim top/seethrough

LISTED



kids crocs


madden PS2 game 


moulin rouge dvd (personal)


that's $1.38 per item!! 


some free stuff i pulled this week



hand knit cardigan handmade


two free books






No more spending this week!! Even though I kinda want to hit yardsales this weekend since I think January a lot of people are cleaning out their closets. I've spent $48 on new inventory this week and tonight, Friday night, I will be listing everything accumlated this week by January 8th, or the next time I source next week.


I made $132 and spent $48. I think I will try next week not to go over $20 and look in my money pile. A yardsale is a great idea!! I want to list as many jackets as I can. I am so so grateful, and blessed. Thank you God.

My goal is to finally get a car - so to make 5k in 90 days.

End of Month Reseller Report - July 2021

 How much did I make in July? It's August 2nd and I'm taking a look back at my accomplishments.  What Sold July 1-7 What Sold July 8-14 What Sold July 15-21 What Sold July 22-31 I made $235.54 selling books. I did my first ever listing challenge and I want to do another one - stricker dead line.  List 100 Items in 13 Days. That's half the time it took to do the original challenge. 13 is also the date I was born. A Baker's Dozen. Perfect! When I told Joe at the Post Office I wanted to make $1k or $800 a month he blew a tire and looked skeptical, and he kinda laughed. We both did. Is it such a crazy idea that I deserve this? That at the end of everything, I'll be the owner of a secondhand bookshop. Some cool things I added to my shop: Magic The Gathering Cards, skirts, I opened my Ebay store and added items but haven't completed the set up.  Also, my new goal is to make $100 each week by pursuing sales. Offering to likers on Depop which i never do - posting more i...

What Sold July 1-7

 These weekly What Sold posts kept me organized, so I'm bringing them back. I review what items sold on each platform, how much it sold, the fees, and what my profit was. Every month I have the same goal to make $350, but my dream goal is to make $800 per month just by selling books. I currently sell on Depop, Mercari, Instagram, Etsy, and various Facebook groups. Depop has been incredibly slow - I have not made any July sales yet. In June I had 4 orders, in May I had 3, in April I had 6 orders, 7 orders in March, 9 in February, and 7 in January. That gives you an idea how many orders come through Depop and why it's important to cross list. I think I have more sales on Mercari. The Summer Slowdown is here! I haven't made any sales yet on Mercari in July. Mercari makes it a little harder to view your sales history in chronological order, but here is how many orders went through each month this year 2021 on Mercari: January - | | | | | | February - March - | | | | | | | | Ap...

Selling on Ebay for Beginners - Pt. 1

 I am brand new to selling on Ebay, I avoided it because I personally felt that the interface felt outdated, I never buy anything on Ebay, and Ebay seems intimidating . On the other platforms I sell on, it is so easy and fast to list. When I listed my first item, it felt like I was filing out paperwork at a doctor's office. It's going to take some time to get used to Ebay's layout, a newcomer can't navigate the Seller's Hub so quickly. It's free to register. Ebay will send an amount to your bank you have to confirm to receive payments. When you first start out, you can only list 10 items per month, this renews every 90. You have to build up your "feedback" - so I'll have to make a purchase or two through Ebay. (Going to see if I can find a Samsung Technologies Q2U microphone to upgrade my Podcast!) This link below is essential reading for new Ebay sellers: https://export.ebay.com/en/listings/limits/selling-limits/ The website says 10, but I was onl...
