Alejoh's Hut & Thrifting

  I've been craving these pastur tacos! Nothing like authentic Mexican food. Me, my friend Jade and her boyfriend Jodie went to Alejoh's Hut. I am encouraging myself to go out more, but this was expensive. My total was $29.  Let's break down everything I got at the Thrift Shoppe. The VCR is the item I'm hoping to tripple my money on. I paid $10. At least sell for $48.99-69.99.  Vintage teddy bear salt and pepper shakers. I paid $1 hoping to sell for $10.  A J.Jill moss green v-neck tunic, I'll try to sell for $39-19. It's merino wool. An Heirloom Collectible Christmas Vest I'll start at $29.99 - $19.95 A Victoria Jones Christmas Vest I'll start at $24.98. For the Christmas vests, I invested $5 a piece. I also got this plain brown Mossimo knit long sleeve, more for myself for winter. It's a great layering piece. I noticed a box of cassette tapes under a table and picked two: The Romantic Age of the Classics, 4 cassette tapes over 4 hours and The Moody...

What Sold June 22-30: making $43 selling used books

What sold the last week of June? How much did I make June 2023?    Strawberry Girl. Someone messaged me about the book if it had the original price, it did not, to my surprised it was clipped. So I offered her this vintage book $8 plus shipping. (I was asking for $20.) The buyer accepted. This book was from my free Library sale. After fees and shipping I made $5.86. I was surprised when this sold! This to me proves that fixing my listings has helped. These Banana Republic jeans sold for $13 plus the buyer paid shipping. I got these jeans for FREE! They were from my neighbor, after her garage sale that I went to! That was so so nice of her. I'll post the yard sale video, she ends up giving me all the clothes you see in the video! My profit was $10.10. Alot of Depop orders came over the weekend! Genuinly surprised, but I realized everyone is home from school. Some students stay home with their parents and have money to splurge. I am also running a sale every week plus when yo...

Free to E-Bike- $54.02

 It dawned on me that I've been making money from free inventory these last two months. It's a risk free way to get into clothes. I think I have sold more clothes than books.  There was the Free Inventory I received from my neighbor. I was able to get more needful clothes for myself, and I've already sold a few items. Then there was the free inventory I got from the school bus lost and found.  I decided to do a fun series where I save up for a used car. I use my Mercari money for my dental transformation and that is a separate series. I already have a video called Mercari Buys Me Glasses.  Here is my video sourcing at the Lost and Found, I've made two: Not everyone Can source here...free inventory Sourcing at the Lost and Found Recently, on Ebay, I sold this Reebok sweater. It sold for $13.00 buyer paid $4.99 shipping. His total was $19.25, and my profit was $8.92. The Nike blue lunch box was a surprise sell for me, so I went back and picked up the other lunch boxes....

What Sold: June 15-21 I made $73.78 from free inventory!

 Can I make more than I did last week? My first week of June, I made $34.62 . Last week, I made $30.67.  This item sold quickly after listing. It was a Cinch pullover , I took an offer for $9. This was free from the Lost and Found. Buyer paid shipping. My profit was $7.12. White Oleander sold for $8. I did put Free Shipping recently to move older inventory out. I listed this a few months ago, this will ship for $4.35 and I am left over with a profit of $2.12. I am a little sad this one sold, I wanted to keep it for myself or at least get more money. It has a handmade stamp of 83' at the bottom - it's a ceramic ducks in a row figurine. "Get your ducks in a row" is a cute saying. I paid .25 three years ago. It's been sitting in my shop for a few months, it sold for an offer on Depop of $5. Shipping was $4.31. My profit was $5.34. I' VE ONLY MADE $14.58 profit!!  I immediately set out offers, I need the money is my mindset. Let everything go. I have an attach...

What Sold June 8-14, i turned ZERO dollars into $30.67!

 Can I make more than the week before? Remember I made __ in the month of May 2023.  One of the books that sold was from my Goodwill  Trip on May 1st. I've already made my money back so it's nice seeing the profit from that haul.   I got a bundle on Depop, that's a good start! On Depop, I sold Detective Arthur on the Scent for $7, a teddy bear book for $2.95, and Out here at the front, The World War 1 letters for $10.50. I have Free Shipping and a discount running in my Depop store right now to generate sales. The total price was $20.45, the Depop fee was 2.05. My total was $18.40. Shipping cost was $4.35. I also had to buy a polymailer, that was $1.75. My profit was $12.30. the two books were free, and this detective book was from the Goodwill haul, so it's 100% profit. Another sale happened on Mercari, it was this vintage dinosaur book . It sold for $11 and paid shipping.  This is another book I got for free. My profit was $8.94 Another sale on Mercar...
