So July wasn't ALL that great, but August is starting out wonderfully! Lot's of BIG sales and some hopeful offers keep coming in.
Here's the numbers:
Total number of sales: 17
Amount before fees: $362.85
Unreceived payments: -$11.50
I picked up these Harley Davidson boots at the Goodwill Outlet. The prices have changed since we were last there, so these cost be around $1.50. The prices went from $0.99/pound for 0-20 pounds, $0.79/ pound for 21-49 pounds, and $0.59/pound for 50+ pounds. Now it's just a flat rate of $0.79/pound no matter how much you get. So in a way it's a good thing for some people, but for me, I get over 50 pounds each trip, so I could've saved a little money if the prices hadn't have changed!
I thought this sale was hilarious! A friend bought me a Monopoly millennium edition game to resell. It wasn't worth the $2 he bought it for, so I decided I'd lot up all the pieces to sell for replacements. So I sold the pieces for $12 +shipping and the rest of the game sold at the yardsale for $2. Not bad!
I picked up this Sirius XM kit at a yardsale for $1. It was missing a few pieces but everything left in the box was brand new. It sold for $55 +shipping.
I picked up these Tommy Bahama swim trunks at the Goodwill for $3. They sold for $29.95 +shipping.
I seem to be finding a LOT of Littlest Pet Shop items lately, AND they are all selling fairly quick! This Get Better Center sold for $20 +shipping.
Oh yeah! I almost forgot! Three days after the buyer bought the item (they purchased on Friday, I shipped on Monday) after I dropped the package off, they messaged me asking me to cancel the transaction because they didn't mean to buy it! I let them know that they will have to return the item to me at their own cost since they waited THREE DAYS to let me know it was a mistake.. I foresee trouble in my future! Yikes!
Jeans at my favorite Goodwill are only $3 a pair, so when I found these men's Lucky Brand jeans I snatched them right up! They sold for $31.95 +shipping.
Lastly, I picked up these Naot boots at a yardsale for $2. I didn't know of the brand at the time, but they had a European size on them and they looked very steam punk to me so I bought them. Lo and behold upon researching the brand, Naot boots are a BOLO! These sold for a best offer of $55 +shipping to UK!
Well that's all folks! I hope you've had a great start this month like I have! Gotta get back to listing!
Thanks for reading!

not bad salea! the get better center was a great sale! especially since it looks like you only have half the building. noe im wishing i didnt donate my daughters! hoping you dont have problems. its sounds more buyers remorsethan mistake
ReplyDeleteThanks! The Center was the whole house, it was just missing the door and a hammock :) It had TWELVE watchers on it so I think it'll resell fairly quickly if it gets shipped back. Hopefully all works out!

Those boots are awesome! I agree about the European size. I just bought some bright yellow plastic clogs that were made in Europe. I got them for a buck I think, so it was well worth the shot. They'll be listed for $30-$40.
ReplyDeleteBoard games are a tough one for me. I LOVE to play them but I don't like to sell them. Too much work to go through all the pieces and all that. I haven't had a lot of good luck with that. But I'll buy the Dark Tower game... that one is worth the work!
I love to play board games too! That's probably why I buy them so often.. I get to play them with the family before selling them ;) Thanks for the BOLO!

Wonderful sales as always. Thank you so much for sharing!
ReplyDeleteGreat flip on those European boots. They totally scream steampunk!
ReplyDeleteHi Nandry,
ReplyDeleteI too also consider myself a teenage thriftier! I don't sell the things I buy on eBay or anything buy it's a fun hobby... then again I had no idea you could make that much off thrifting! Holy crap! Congrats on both that and the good finds. Especially the name brands! I've been thrifting for years and I know how cool it is to find name brands for cheep.
Thank you for sharing all your finds!
