Sales Update 3/15-3/25

Hey everyone! I hope March sales are treating you well! I sure know mine have been! My sales have been absolutely BOOMING lately! I know they could be much much better though if I'd sit and list daily like I should! (Slacker here, I know). 

I love that I've switched my game over to mainly clothing. I love sourcing pieces and the photographing and measuring part doesn't really seem to bother me. I've noticed that it's a great market to be in and it's really helped pick up my sales! 

Since the 15th I've had 40 sales!!! How awesome is that?!?! I've almost had 100 for the month! That would be a record for me!! Check it out! 




Also, I recently went to local thrift and got THREE trash bags full of vintage dresses for $20!! Yes that's right, TWENTY DOLLARS!!! I got 38 pieces! I can't wait to start researching and photographing these beauties!! 


That's all for me! I have to hurry and get back to listing! Have a great week everyone!!

Goodwill Outlet Haul 3/4

Good morning everyone! I'm a little late on sharing my latest haul, but it's better late than never! Last Friday me, my sister, and my boyfriend drove down to Nashville to meet my aunt and grandma at the outlet! I spent a little over $80 and got all kinds of great things! 

Here's a picture of the things I bought. I forgot to lay the clothes out on the floor before I hung them up, so you can't really see the details, but you can still see the amount! 


This tote full and about 10-15 packs of brand new puppy pads cost me around $40-$45! 





I got 71 pieces of clothing for around $30! 



I think I've shared with you all before how much my boyfriend HATES the Outlet. I convinced him to take us that Friday and I am SO glad that I did! He definitely has luck finding things that's for sure! 

After we had went out and ate lunch, we went back into the Outlet to go through the clothing bins. When we walked in I found this Scooby Doo comic. I handed it to Derek because he likes all things Scooby Doo. He walked around and looked it over and we accidentally bought it! THANK GOODNESS we did! My mom saw it and looked it up when we got home, before I let Derek take it home of course, and we found out it was worth $150-$300!! It is the very first Scooby Doo comic ever made! I can't believe it! 

So that's it for my haul! Look like I should have over $2,000 in return! 

Thanks for reading!!

Sales Update 3/1-3/7

Hello hello everyone! I'm back with a quick sales update! Things have been super slow lately. I don't know what the deal is with this slump! It's probably because I took last week off.  I'm back at it this week though! I've gotten 36 new listings up and I'm aiming for atleast 100 new by the end of the week! 

I sold 10 items this week for a total of $190, leaving me with a profit of $141 after my fees and shipping costs. I'm really needing my sales to be at atleast $250 a week, so I'm getting there. Slowly but surely. 

Here's the 10 items that sold! 



This Lauren Ralph Lauren wool sweater came from the Outlet. It sold for $30 +shipping. 



These North Face Hiking pants sold for $30 +free shipping. 





This Victoria's Secret top sold for $14.95 +F/S


This pattern of Vera Bradley is super rare and sells for a good amount of money! This small eye glass case sold for $12.95 +F/S.



My aunt picked this Lauren Ralph Lauren sweater up for me. It sold the same day I listed it for $19.95 +F/S.



I've jumped on the bra train! This one sold for $14.95 +F/S.



These 2XL Eddie Bauer pajama pants also sold really fast! They sold for $14.95 +F/S.


This J. Crew button up sold for $17.50 +F/S.



I had this Sears slip listed for $12.95 +F/S, and shortly received an offer of $12.50! Ummm yes!! Why can't all offers be like that?! 


I picked up two of these vintage dresses at the outlet, this one sold quickly for $20 +F/S.


That's all for me! I've got to go fix supper and get some more listing done! What did you sell this week? 
Thanks for reading!

Update 2/11-3/1

Hey everyone! I'm so sorry once again for not posting regularly. Things have been pretty crazy around here the past few weeks and I can never find the time to sit down and blog. I love sharing my eBay life with y'all and I'm sorry that I've let it slip and put my updates on the back burner. But! That being said, I plan on updating you today on a few things and then share some of my best sales and profits from February! 

Yesterday was my 18th birthday, so now that I'm at the required age, I was able to put my eBay account in MY name! I was so excited! 


Check it out! My names on the packages now! 

To celebrate my birthday, my fantastic boyfriend took me to the Dixie Stampede! If you've never been, I would highly recommend going! It's a blast for all ages! 




I've not done any listing this week whatsoever. I'm going to try to get about 20 new listings up today, before I go to the Goodwill Outlet tomorrow. I'm down to about 150 active listings because I'm stingy like that and don't want to pay for my insertion fees. Lol! I have saved thousands of dollars waiting for promotions so that I can re-list my old items for free. It's not the best thing for everyone, but it works for me. If I can ever get a promo, I'll have close to 700 active listings. That's the most I've ever had! 1,000 is right around the corner! 



I told my aunt I'd share her in this HIDEOUS fur coat the last time we went shopping! Would you have bought this?? It was only $6! ;) LOL! On this trip, I spent $90. It was crazy. I've not spent that much at the regular goodwill in ages! But I did make it all back that night! I sold this Anthropologie sweater on poshmark within a couple hours of listing it. I like it when I make all my money back in one night! 




February sales were about average or Maybe even a little better than usual. I had over $1,000 in profit after my shipping costs (I offer free shipping mostly now), eBay fees, and PayPal fees, but after all of the expenses I had this month, (lots of goodwill shopping), I cleared a little over $800 for the month. Not too bad! My goal is to make ATLEAST minimum wage, so I'm happy with that number. I'm hoping to grow it over the next few months, before college starts officially this fall. 

Hopefully I can continue selling on eBay when classes start, but it may be too much for me to be able to continue at this scale. We will see.. Highschool graduation is only 2 months away! Woo-hoo! I can't wait to graduate and begin the college life. I'm super excited about the field I've chosen to go into and can't wait to see what's in store for me there. 

I may try and post some of my best sales from February a little later, but for now, I best go and package up a few things before the mail runs! 
Thanks for reading everyone and for putting up with my sporadic posting! :)

Sales Update 2/1-2/10

Hey everyone! Before continuing, be prepared! This post will be VERY VERY long. I haven't posted in a while and I feel like y'all need to be caught up! 

First things first, January sales! I did pretty well, with over $1,400 in sales, bringing my profit to around $900 after fees and such, but I'm still nowhere close to where I want to be. I hope to double that number sometime this year. 

I've also been trying to get back into the listing groove this month. My goal is at least 10 items a day! So far I've listed close to 40 new items, so I'm getting there! 

If you read my last post, I went to the Outlet and spent $76. I got TONS of great stuff and my estimated gross income will be over $2,000 just from that one haul! I can't wait to get it all listed! 
Here are a few of my favorite finds from that trip: 



(This Jacket ALREADY Sold on Poshmark for $75!!!)


(SOLD 2/14 for $30!!!) 




If you can't tell, I'm a BIG fan of vintage dresses! These are the first that I've ever picked up to flip in my store! I'm so excited! Does anyone have any experience with these? Would etsy be a better market for them? 

I also found some North Face Pants, two pairs of Chacos (one pair was found by aunt!), lots of J. Crew, some plush, and so much more! 

Okay! On to February! My sales have been SUPER slow, but I believe it's partially due to the fact that I haven't listed as much as usual (I'm down to around 400 items in the store instead of my usual 650).

I've had 18 sales since the 1st of the month totaling $255. That is TERRIBLE. I need to get some listing done.. Oh well. Hoping for some more buyers during "Tax-mas" ;) 

Here's what sold! 












Pretty much everything shown was either super old stock or something I picked up from the Outlet! 

On Poshmark this month, I've had 5 sales totaling $182! I have been LOVING Poshmark! My total profit after their fees comes out to $145.05. Not bad! 

Sales are slowly trickling in. I've listed all the bras that I picked up at the bins and I'm starting on the dresses now. I can't wait to get those vintage beauties up! 

I hope things are well with all of you! 
Thanks for reading! :)

Outlet Haul 2/6/16

Hey everyone! I'm so sorry I've not posted in a while. Life has been taking me by surprise and keeping me away from the computer. A lot of things have happened the past few weeks, including the passing of my amazing grandpa, but hopefully I'll be posting pretty regularly from now on. 

I went to the outlet yesterday with my family and I ended up spending $76. I got about 12 pairs of shoes, lots of plush, miscellaneous items, and 116 pieces of clothes!!! Here's a picture of my clothing haul! 


Here's what our vehicle looked like when we left. 

You better believe I left there with some GREAT stuff!!! I can't wait to get to listing it all!! 

Thanks for reading everyone! Hopefully I can make a post on my estimated return from this haul tomorrow and I'll try and get a sales update post up soon. :)
