I'm so ready for Spring Break next week! Why you may ask?
I only have 144 items listed on eBay. It would be understandable if I had inventory waiting to be listed, but I don't. I only have a couple items that need steamed and listed.
So, Spring Break I'm taking Daniella to Naples for the week. I will finally be able to do some thrift shopping. In Naples, I usually find 15-30 items per store. In Gainesville lately: 2-3 items for store. It feels like my paypal account is stagnant, but only because I don't have anything to list. Does anybody else ever encounter this issue?
Here are a few things I did sell in the last 2 days:
LL Bean Sherpa lined Women's Vest
Cost: $6.00 Sold: $34.99
I try to look for Sherpa lined jackets and vests; they sell very well.
Michael Kors Men's Jeans size 42
Cost: $0.00 Sold: $27.00
These were another Goodwill of Southwest Florida loyalty purchase. Those little cards save me so much money!
Joe's Jeans Mini Skirt Size 27
Cost: $4.49 Sold: $11.99
I thought this skirt would sell for more. I generally don't buy and sell skirts, so it's a lesson learned.
Cost: $6.00 Sold: $49.99
Daniella and I went to Goodwill on Friday. She has become quite the thrift shopper, when I push her in a wheelchair and basically hold her captive! We only found 2 quality items in the whole store. I listed the two pairs of jeans I found today. I got an offer on one pair and this pair sold within hours of listing it. Just shows people will buy quality items. Problem is: finding them.
I have never sold many pairs of jeans because I do not find the brands you mention. Just goes to show you, a seller's "niche" can vary from region to region. I have a friend a couple of states away from me and her bread and butter items are so much different from mine. There's room for everyone on Ebay! :) I would have loved to have joined your jean challenge but I knew I would lose. I love reading about other sellers and what they find and flip. It is SO interesting to various approaches - I have learned a lot.

Miss Me jeans! My favorite finds!
ReplyDeleteI wish I had the same problem....I have hundreds of things to list in my attic, but I'm just too lazy sometimes and I enjoy the hunt way too much. My boyfriend enjoys the hunt, but also enjoys the listing part. I wish I had the same feeling haha!
