I am facing a dilemma....I bought the bottom set of hot rollers a couple of weeks ago to resell. I use hot rollers. My hot rollers are the top set. They are a hundred years old....at least! I would like to just keep the new set for myself. The new set is nice but there is one thing against it....it doesn't have all the clips with it! It is missing the clips for the smaller rollers. If it had all the clips I wouldn't even think about keeping them. I know I can sell them even without the clips. I don't have enough clips with my old hot roller set. It would be nice to have more clips...I would have my old clips plus the new clips so I would probably have plenty of clips! And I would have a nice new set of rollers! But then again, I can make do with the old rollers and my few clips because we could really use the money right now! See the hard choice I have to make! :) I will probably go ahead and sell the new set. I paid $4.38 for them at Goodwill. I can probably sell them for $15. I've sold 2 sets of hot rollers in the past couple of months. I made $9.05 clear on one set and $13.19 on the other. I'd love to find a set of the Remington Tight Curls hot rollers. They go for pretty good on Ebay! When you stopped by I bet you never thought you'd hear so much about hot rollers and clips, did you?
I did sell a shirt today!
Paid $1.00 Sold for $6.95 plus $6.23 Shipping Profit $4.17 after fees
Didn't make a bundle on it but I've had it listed for quite awhile so it was good to see it go. I still have quite a few shirts to list....need to get on that!
Well, my daughter and I are going on an outing tomorrow! She wants to take me to lunch in the big city! I'm hoping we can find a stray yard sale or two along the way! If not there is always Goodwill! Thanks for stopping by! ~~Pam
Keep the rollers for yourself. Is the $9 that you would make from selling the set worth the enjoyment/satisfaction that you would gain from using them? I don't think so. Remember, $9 won't last long, but the rollers, hopefully, will.
ReplyDeleteThanks for the advice! I have thought too that since mine are so old that they might not work someday soon and if I don't have a back-up then I'd have to try to find a set that would cost me way more than $4.38!
DeleteI think you should keep the rollers for yourself too. Could you keep the new set & take the clips out of the old set for yourself & sell the old set?

Rhonda - There's no way I could sell my old set...they look pretty crummy in real life and the plastic cover is broken besides! I just might keep the new set for myself anyway....I deserve them, right? :) Thanks for your comment! ~~Pam
DeleteI think you should sell the new set for a higher Buy It Now price than you normally would so if they don't sell you can keep them happily for your own use. After reading so many blogs, it is apparent that for the pageant industry some of these rollers can go for decent amount of money. If you could get $29.95 or $39.95 for them would you be happy to sell them? If the answer is yes, throw them on ebay and see if there are any buyers at a high BIN price. If you don't get any takers, you'll probably be pleased to keep the nicer ones for yourself.
ReplyDeleteThanks for your comment! I just might take your advice and put a high price on them to see if they sell. If they do then great, if not, then I can enjoy them! Thanks! ~~Pam
