Lucky number ten ($10.00)

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.

I found this Simply Vera Vera Wang NWT $78 Size 14P Cocktail Dress

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?  

I hope I don't have to mark it down to $10.00.  That would be a bummer.

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 paid 10 dimes for this Ralph Lauren Skirt and had it already to put up on EBay.

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.

Yes, 10 is a lucky little number.
