A Good Month! (so far)

NOTE: I've had this post partially ready for a week or more and figured I would just finally post it already! I've made a few comments on some of the things I sold and toward the end you'll just see the numbers!

 

January has been a good month for me so far! I've had some good higher end sales which helps a lot! Lots of the things I've sold have been things that my family or friends have given me that they've found thrifting. Like these Florsheim shoes....they have the V cleat and 5 nails on the bottom. Apparently they are worth more. I had read Meinard's post about them and my sister Naomi did too. She's the one that found them....she thinks she only paid either $2 or $4 for them! She generously gave them to me to sell. I researched the prices and some sold for more and some for less. I didn't know for sure what to do so I went with $89.95 and listed them....they sold the next morning! I always feel like I probably listed for way less than I should have when that happens!

I had 7 salesman catalog cards of buttons listed on eBay. I got a message from a lady who wanted a deal on all of them so I offered them to her for less. Then I e-mailed her and told her about my ButtonCrazy shop on Etsy and that I had 28 more cards of them there and she wanted those also! That was a good deal that really helped out this week!

Then a couple of days ago I had someone want 11 of my old magazines and they paid $90 including shipping so another good sale! Total profit on all of the old magazines I bought last year so far is $573.43 for 85 magazines! I still have lots more to take pictures of and list.

My oldest daughter had this marble run in case any kids came to her place but I guess she was cleaning out stuff and decided she didn't want it anymore. When she brought it to our house I thought...oh I don't want to mess with something like this but I looked it up and thought well...maybe I do! These are expensive and I made a nice little amount!
