On to the numbers. I had my best month ever in October. I made a total of $5,010, that's gross sales before fees & cost of goods. My estimated cash spent on new merchandise is $350. Most days I did over $100 and one day I did over $300! Here's my graph-
My goals for November are to get my listings up to 700, I currently am sitting at 390. I would love to clear $6,000 and make it to the bins at least 3 times a week.
Here are some of my most exciting sales from the end of October:
I wanted to mention this jacket because it had a flaw, it was missing the zipper pull. I bought it and clearly listed it. It sold within a couple weeks! Sometimes it's ok to buy flawed quality items as long as you make sure to make sure to include every detail in your listing.
I love this sale, the buyer paid full price and already left positive feedback! Nothing like turning $2 into $80!
Sorry to make this so long but I also want to throw up my daily sales from yesterday to try and get myself back on track. Sunday's are normally my biggest days but I was really struggling for that one big sale. I sold 15 items for a total of $235, not a number to complain about. Here's what I sold:
Tomorrow I'm going to try and make it to the bins so I'll post a haul photo, I also want to hit 425 items in my store. Thanks again for all the love!
I enjoy your blog! Don't let the turkeys get you down. :)

ReplyDeleteLove it. Keep up the great work.
ReplyDeletethanks for sharing, I find your posts so inspiring! We don' t have any GW outlets around here but we do have one small thrift store that is open twice a week that prices clothes at .25 (they do pull the higher end stuff and put it in a different "boutique" area and it sells for around $3-4 but honestly I have seen everything from Walmart brands to St. John knits in BOTH areas). The thing that inspires me most about your sales is that you aren't afraid to sell something for $10, a lot of sellers preach that they never sell anything under $25...but I figure if I buy it for .25 and sell it for $10 that is nice little profit margin! Keep up the great work, I am off to my favorite store this morning-hoping for a sack of treasures!
