Monthly sales January

Hi there!

I was afraid of selling in January. People spent a lot of money in December and they don't want shopping at the beginning of the year. But was better than I expected.

At end of January I have:

• little more then 100 listings on eBay!! It was my goal for this month.
• 85 listings total in two Etsy shops - not much but it's ok.

EBAY - JANUARY 2016:

• Sold 26 items for about $525
• Excluding eBay and PeyPal fees, shipping cost and cost for items, my profit was about $213
• The most expensive item was: 

I had Best Offer for $20 for this Pet Shop, but buyer don't paid for it. Few days after relist someone bought it for full price and paid immediately.

I accepted Best Offer. It was my 4th sold enamel sign. They are definitely my BOLOs :) First one I bought for less then $1 and sold for... if I remember good - $45. This one cost me about $4.15, shipping $6. My profit was: $14.75

ETSY - JANUARY 2016 (two shops):

• Sold 10 items for about $112.22
• Excluding etsy and PeyPal fees, shipping cost and cost for items, my profit was about $63.25
• The most expensive item was: 

I sold them for $17.60 and I got them for free! It was part of my husband's toy - some kind of game I think. My profit was: $10.61. Not so bad. Free $10.61 :D

This 4 Brass Horse Medalions someone purchase in one order. I have them few more on my store. I sold them for $32 + $7.2 shipping (Bought for $2.5). They are heavy but I not paid much for shipping. My total profit was $27.20. 

OTHER SALES:

In my country I sold 1 item - Pet Shop for $28.47 and my profit was: $18.99

TOTALLY IN JANUARY:

• I sold: 37 items
• For: $665.69
• My profit was: $295.24

This is not so bad, but I have to at least double this!

I'm reseller just 3-4 hours a day, and I think this is really good score. I'm doing what I love, I don't have boss over my head, I'm close to my family and I have almost the same money like at my old regular job :)

MY GOALS FOR FEBRUARY:

• at least 150 listings on eBay
• at least 85 listings on etsy (main account)
• organize my Bonanza account
• Hit at least $1000 in sales

And what are your goals for February?

On another post I'll share with you my BOLOs from January.

Bye!

Small Pet Shop haul

Hi there!

I'm selling all sorts of item, but my bread and butter are Littlest Pet Shop (LPS). Little animal figures.

Few days ago I purchase lot of 10 LPS (from photos) for $20:

I bought this set because I know some of this LPS. When I check other, I was sure - it will be good purchase.

Pet Shop                                             approximate eBay price

#1793 Husky                                      $19.00 free shipping
#1171 Chihuahua                               $14.96 + $5 shipping
#2406 Tabby cat                                 $14.96 + $5 shipping
#1800 German Shepherd                    $14.96 + $5 shipping
#2114 Fox                                          $19.90 free shipping
#2440 Persian cat                               $30.00 free shipping
and 4 cheaper.

INFO >>>> sometimes they need month or 2 to be sold and sometimes just few hours or even minutes. They are easy to list, storage and shipping.

Ok. Do the math:

Expected sell with shipping:                    $191.62

Total shipping:                                         -$41.60

eBay and PayPal fees (around 20%):      -$38.32

------------------------------------------------------------
Expected profit:                                       $111.70

I had $20 and will have $111.70 only for 10 little toys!

You know why I love to be reseller? because in my old regular job I had to work about 7 days to earn $111.70 and now I just need work few hours and wait for buyer... this is simply and easy!!

Thank you all for visit me!

I introduce myself

Hi,
my name is Kasia. I'm thrifter and reseller.
At the beginning I'm sorry for any language mistakes - I'm from Poland and i'm still learning English :) But trust me - is much, much better then few months ago!

Why I'm here? Few months ago I had to prove my husband that I can be reseller, I can earn money for our family and stay at home with our little son. He is 16 months now and he still learning something new, and I want to be with him on this moments. And I proved that I have a potential! But still a lot of work ahead of me. I'm working, whenever I can - I'm working, and this is really cool ;)

But why I'm bloging? I don't know ;) I just want to share with other resellers my knowledge and my successes. It's all. Nothing more :)

To stay at home I have to earn about $300/week. I have lot of work to be there, but I can do this! :)

Thank you for reading this post, and I hope that you stay with me for a while.
