This past week I got to have my senior pictures taken! My cousin Carrie is an AH-MAZING photographer, so she took all of my pictures. I can honestly say I'm in love with them! Here's some of the pictures from last week!
Here's the links to her sites:

Another reason I've been slow to post on the blog this week is because I've been studying for the ACT. The test was Saturday (the 13th) so since that's over, I plan on spending ALL week listing my inventory. My goal is to get EVERYTHING that is sitting unlisted, listed this week. I have around 100 items or so that are unlisted and it's really taking up a lot of space. So today I took over 200 pictures of the massive jean pile that I talked about last week. I'm going to start listing them on eBay as soon as we get supper cooked and I can start working!
Anyways! Here's my numbers for the past two weeks!
Total number of items sold: 12
Amount of sales before fees: $266.35
These two Rainbow Brite glasses sold at auction for $20 +shipping. My aunt found these at Goodwill for $0.99 each.
I sold these boots on consignment. They sold for $39.95 +shipping to Australia.
I think I picked this up for $2 at a yardsale. It sold for $25 +shipping.
Cross stitch kits will sell even if they are started! This one sold within 5 minutes of listing for $15 +shipping.
This Genco straight razor sharpener was found in the same box of free stuff as the garage door openers. It sold at auction for $20.50. It only had two bids but it had around 12 watchers. This is why I don't like auctions..
I picked up this silver Panasonic flip clock for $2. It sold for $29.95 +shipping.
Here's another vintage cap! It sold for $9.95 +shipping.
I also had one sale on Poshmark!! It was a skirt that sold for a best offer of $20 (It was listed on eBay for $25). After fees on poshmark I will receive a profit of $16. IF the skirt had sold on eBay for full price, my profit would have been around $18 or so if I offered free shipping. So I'm happy with my profit margin on Poshmark for sure.
That's all for me this week! I hope eBay hasn't been as slow for you as it has been for me!

You look absolutely adorable in your senior pictures!
ReplyDeleteI also dislike auction. I love BIN. I always get a price I'm happy with
Thank you!
DeleteAnd yes for sure! I didn't know what to price the razor sharpener for though, so I figured I'd let it run at auction.. Oh well! Live and learn!

Is that a tractor you're on in the first photo? That's a great shot. I also like the one of you on the mossy log. The photographer had it easy because you're such a lovely subject. :-)
ReplyDeleteI found myself looking at caps today in a thrift store because of you. I didn't see anything worth buying though. Unless they are absolutely clean or look like new, I won't buy hats or caps. Same goes for shoes. Great find on the flip clock. I haven't found one yet.
It is! I'm a born and raised country girl so I figured the tractor would be perfect to use as a prop! I'm glad you liked my pictures! :) I thought they turned out wonderful!
DeleteI truly have never bought a cap at the thrift because I feel like they're way more expensive than they would be at a typical yardsale where I only pay a quarter or so for them. Some people have found some gold mines in the cap section though, so I reckon it's always a good place to look!
That was the second flip clock I'd found! That one has a kind of strange story behind it though. Me and my boyfriend were out yardsaling and I saw two flip clocks, one was like the last one I sold and then there was this one. Well this one had a price sticker of $7 on it and the other one had a sticker of $2 on it. So I asked the guy if he'd test the $2 one for me, because I didn't see a very good ROI on the $7 one, so he tested it, and it didn't work. So I told him I didn't want it. He told me he had another one that definitely did work, (the $7 one), and he said I probably liked the other one more because it was $2. So he said I could have the $7 one for $2 (without me even asking him to go down on the price!) then he proceeded to tell me about some movie that the clock was in! It was a definite first for me at a yardsale. LOL

Love the photo of you on the Massey! My niece is 16 and is trying so hard to find a job. I keep telling her to try eBay. I would provide her with inventory - I have tons of it. I'm going to send her a link to your blog because I know you will inspire her!
ReplyDeleteThank you! EBay was definitely the best choice for me! I was desperately wanting a job at a very young age, and no one where I live would hire anyone under 16, so this is where I turned and I've not stopped! I love it! I hope she gets her business going like I have and makes a million!
DeleteThanks for commenting!

Your pics looks really nice. I never thought to take pics like this when I was graduating. Your sales are still pretty good considering it's summer.
ReplyDeleteYour pictures are adorable! As far as sales being slow, you're not the only one. I call it the summer slump. Things should pick up closer to time for kids to head back to school.
ReplyDeleteYour pictures are just lovely - enjoy your summer!
