I'm at $1818 for 7 days. 162 items sold in December for a total of $2,670. After fees, costs of goods and shipping my gross profit is $1788.
I've been going to a few Goodwills around my house and cleaning up on plush and little toys.
I paid $2 for the pug, I originally bought it for a good friend because we both have pugs but the profit was to good to turn down. The Lady and the Tranp dog was $2.99 and sold in less than 12 hours. The Little Ensteins where $9 and also sold in less than a day. I also sold a separate single June doll that doesn't talk for $20 this week.
Seriously buy alllllll the Little Einsteins. I found the boat for .99 then found the figure in a grab bag for $1.99.
Anything Mr. Christmas is always a good buy, I only know this because I looked for Mickeys Clock Shop for years but could never spend the $100 on eBay. I found one last week for $7! It's staying with me but I bought this marching band at the same location for $9 and sold it in 3 days.
I was thinking I would get more for my $5 Mickey house but sadly the chimney was broken. $70 with shipping isn't bad, plus the person who bought it was a town away and it only cost me $8 with my discount to ship!!
All clothing from the bins! I original sold the Anthro sweater for $37 and it was returned because it didn't fit. I relisted and it sold for $45 in a day. Yay!!
NOW FOR MY BEST FLIP EVER.
Drumroll please!
I bought this weird bag of random ornaments for $4 because I did pretty good with another one a couple weeks ago. I pulled out these wooden ones and actually hung them on my tree and giggled with my husband about just how silly they where. I looked up the initials on the back and immediately listed them...
Within an hour this happened
$4 into $180 (and counting, there was also vintage and hand cut crystal)
They are already off to their new home in France. I boxed them up really well and slipped the box into a padded flat rate for $5.35 and sent it into GSP.
I'm currently sitting at 485 listings, I have the photos to get me to 500 tonight. I'll do my best to report back.
Happy Holidays!!

Glad Q4 has been good to you! Hard work pays off. I haven't had much time to source other than the bins but I've still been selling lots of jackets and sweaters and such. My best flip recently was a Banana Republic wool blend coat picked for around $1.79 and sold for $70 shipped within a few days. Thanks for sharing your finds and sales and happy holidays!
ReplyDeleteThat's a great find!!! I love anything wool, it just really sells well. Happy Holidays to you as well :)
DeleteAwesome! Inspiring! I'll BOLO for Christmas items in the coming year. :)
ReplyDeleteI can't wait for garage sale season, I'm going to really stock up!
DeleteYes I've missed you!! I've been checking every day since your last post. Wow - worth the wait! Super sales - congrats! And OMG - I'm 80% sure that I put one a LWS ornament BACK.ON.THE.SHELF. I couldn't make out the initials on the back. Doh - lesson learned! Thanks for sharing - I'm learning A LOT.
ReplyDeleteOh man! When I first saw the initials I couldn't make it out either, it took a few googles to finally figure it out. Thanks for all the love!
DeleteI love reading your blogs! You inspired me to start going to the bins near where I live. Unfortunately they don't send any clothes there, so I stick to the shoes. Awesome finds!
ReplyDeleteThanks! That's a bummer that they don't do clothing, I wonder why?
DeleteNicole, you mentioned in a previous post I read that you clean everything you list. Do you actually wash everything? What is your complete process from buying to shipping? I love your blog and your videos learning so much. I am just a now and than seller but you have inspired me to try harder. Thank you and hoping you and your family have/had a great holiday!
ReplyDeleteHi Penny! Thanks for following! If you check out my newest sales video I talk about the listing process and how I go about cleaning the items. It's way more detailed than I could fit here. Happy Holidays!!!
DeleteHi, I messaged you on YouTube a couple of days ago. I can't see any of your videos anymore even though I'm subscribed. Your channel says "no recent activity" and when I go to videos, it says there are no videos on the channel. I've tried following links to your videos, but I get the sad face emoji with an error message saying the video is private. HELP!!! I really enjoy your videos and want to see more. Thanks, Judy Corona
