A few weeks ago I received a $10.00 coupon off any purchase at Kohl's.
No minimum, no strings attached.
I had an idea.
What could I buy for $10.00? Not for me, but for EBay.
You know I love Vera Wang.
This dress was on the clearance rack and priced at $14.99. Because of my $10.00 off coupon, I paid $4.99 (plus tax).
I came home and listed the amazing dress (seriously, isn't it awesome) on EBay for $14.99.
It sold and I made $10.00.
In honor of the number 10, I wanted to feature 10 finds of the last few weeks.
This is the same concept as Follow the Golden Graham Cash, with a Kohl's twist.
I found these items for 10 dimes ($1.00) each at Goodwill.
1. These cute little Ann Taylor Loft size 00 petite pants were listed at $6.99. I received an email from a buyer asking if I'd list a "buy it now" price at $10.00. Lucky me.
2. This Ann Taylor Loft Size 0 Petite sold for $15.00.
3. These Nike XL Women's Black Pants sold for $18.00.
4. This Chico's Size 1 Denim Full Long Skirt sold for $12.00
5. This J.Jill Silk Velvet NWT Dress sold for $10.50.
6. This Adidas tennis skirt sold for $10.50. Cool.
7. This Women's XL Star Wars shirt sold for $19.00.
8. This lovely Ann Taylor Medium Black Dress sold for $12.50.
9. These Chico's Linen Cropped Size 2 Pants sold for $14.99.
10. This Tommy Bahama XXL Men's shirt sold for $20.00. I have a love affair with Tommy Bahama. Don't worry, the counselor understands.
So, what else is happening over here?
Dresses at Goodwill are normally priced $10.00.
I found this Blue Fish Dress and bought it for $5.00 on 1/2 off day.
Once I realized they sell new for around $300, I decided to list it at $99.99. It didn't sell. The next week I listed it at $74.99. It didn't sell. Now I have it listed with a "buy it now " price of $60.00.
When will it sell? Like 10 years from now?
By the way, Chandler has been taking my photos as of late. He gets paid .10 cents/per item.
Most of the time he does a great job, but sometimes . . .
Let's just say this is what happens when you put your 10 year-old son and his best friend in charge of taking the pictures.
I pulled it. Because I loved it so much I had to have it to wear for myself, for at least 10 days or more.
I wish I could find a Goodwill that sold items for $1.00! Lucky you!
