This women's Ralph Lauren size 3X career top sold for $10.00
These J.Crew size 8 tall (talls always do well!) sold for 11.05.
These Chico's travelers size 1 brown crop pants didn't sell the first week they were listed- this week they sold for $17.51. This reminds me that all items should be listed at least 2 weeks at full price. So, what was this weeks top seller?
Women's size S black Under Armour tights... Sold for $21.50! If you ever find Under Armour, snatch it up. It's very expensive to buy new and is a great resale item. Here's this week's summary...Ebay Profits:$313.05
Craigslist Profits:0
Costs: 50.00(clothes), 53.04(ebay fees), 26.42 (paypal fees)
Total Profit: $183.23
When I have a slower week I have to remind myself of what it was like when I first started Week 1 total ebay sales (60.02) Week 2 (156.91) Week 3 (162.58) week 4 (80.86) and week 5 (166.25) It always makes me feel better to go back and read those first "Big Challenge" posts. The other good news is that usually when you have a slow week, it's followed by a BIG week! I'm planning on it. Let us know how your ebay sales are coming- that way we can celebrate and commiserate together. Love, Kelly
hey kelly! I'm a devoted follower of the blog! love you guys! oddly enough i had an awesome week! last week was my tough week! i have a question for you. do you wash the clothing that you buy if they have stains? i used to sit and scrub out stains for hours. now i just write in the description if there is anything wrong with it. do you think ppl. tend to not bid if its says that there is a small stain on the item? do you think i should go back to stain killing? i would love to hear your advice on this! thanks!!
ReplyDeleteBecky,
ReplyDeleteI would definitely remove the stains. I think it will stop people from bidding- However, lately I have been finding so many great items to sell that I usually pass on those that have stains (unless it is something extraordinary) because It really does take a lot of time. So glad to hear you had a great week!
Hi, Kelly! This week was my best yet - I sold a $1 Nicole Miller dress for $30!!! =) I had never heard that name before . . . Thanks for all the encouragement you give to those of us who are just starting out!
ReplyDeleteI shipped out 54 items last week..whew...
ReplyDeleteI'm expecting this week to be veerrry slow. :)
I too pass on the stained stuff. Not worth my time, in most cases.
Have a wonderful Turkey Day!!!
I am glad I am not the only who had a terribly slow week! But some profit is better than no profit! :) H
ReplyDeleteHave a WONDERFUL holiday!
BUT I did sell a lot of 3 ENERGIE Juniors tops from my own closet for 20.00!!! That definitely made my day!
ReplyDeleteThis week surprised me with pretty decent profits. I sold a pair of men's jeans for $46.00. That makes it worth it right there.
ReplyDeleteI'm glad it wasn't just me! I had a slower week too, but less to ship over the holiday, right? I am really looking forward to December, though. I have been holding on to a bunch of video games it is almost time to sell!
ReplyDeletei am gearing up for cyber monday. lots to list.
ReplyDeleteI also had two slow weeks in a row, but had little listed, so I'm sure that's part of it. However I have a bunch listed over Thanksgiving and ending Sunday evening. Already there are two sales, because I took advantage of the current free BIN listing. Yay! Hope you have a wonderful Thanksgiving!
ReplyDeletehey kelly! thanks so much for getting me back on track! i starting selling again ever since i found your blog! i wanted to know if you use turbo lister? i dont know how it works. i sell new and used clothing as well and i wanted to know if i should start using it. if anyone else uses it, please let me know how it works! thanks
ReplyDeleteAnoymous,
ReplyDeleteI do not use Turbo lister. Mainly because I have a MAC and my understanding is it only runs on PC's- If I had a PC, I would definitely use it. The idea of being able to send all my listing in at one time would allow me to list at a more preferred time of day and would allow all my listings to end at the same time. I'm so glad to hear you're selling again.
