What Sold On Ebay.... The third and fourth week of July..

     Since I have only been having one or two sales a week I decided to put a couple weeks together. The first week I made one of the best sales on ebay so far for me. I was really happy with the outcome of that sale. I get really excited when my instinct turns out to be right, it makes me really happy to know I had a feeling and it paid off. I get lucky like that every now and then. I don't carry my phone with me when I go to yard sales, so it really is a gamble most times. Well.... Let's get on to the sales...



     I found this tyco pocket power glow bones toy from the 80s at a yard sale for $2. It sold for 130.50 at auction! When I saw this there was a feeling that it may be worth something and I was right!! After the ebay fees 13.05 and the pay pal fees of 4.50 and the 9.10 I paid in shipping I made 101.85!! I think this is my best sale to date.



I found this set of 60s marx toys doll house furniture at an estate sale last summer, I only paid $2 for all of the furniture. It sold for $40 so after I paid $4 for ebay fees, 1.20 for pay pal fees and 10.50 to ship it I made $24.30. 



Got these 3 sets of lego bionicles at a yard sale last fall, I only paid $2 (really lucky with the last year and $2 LOL). These sold for $30 after I pay the $3 ebay fee, the .90 pay pal fee and the 5.30 for shipping I made 20.80.





Think I did ok for a couple weeks sales, I know I'm not selling a lot but the sales I have had are decent. My ebay sales are only to help me with money for thrifting since I do not use money from our bank account. This is what I do to be able to support my hobby 😏  So the total of my sales for the past 2 weeks ended up being 146.95 not to bad for 3 sales!!

Yard Sale Haul... primitive decor and kids stuff

It's been a while but here is a good ole yard sale haul! I love yard sales this has been mentioned before but it needs to be said again. I found some awesome primitive decor at a yard sale that had amazing prices and of course some kid items (as usual). There were other items but my kids took off with them. Also forgot to take a pic of my sons carhartt coat I got for $5! 

The john deere picture was only $1... Actually the star candle and flower wreath/candle ring was only $1 also! 
The tart melts was $1 a set, the our home frame, small sign and chalk board star was .50 each!
Now for the kids stuff.. The melissa and doug new in package drawing pads was 1.50, the john deere toy and the bag of dolls was .50 a piece.

What sold on ebay?? First and second week of July 2019...

I haven't posted anything on ebay at all in 2019. I decided to put a few items up this past week, I want to try to put up around 5 items each week. I may try to put more than that up sometimes but 5 seems to work well for me. I only sell maybe 2 things but my anxiety can't take more than that anyway LOL! This is what sold for me the first and second week of July 2019. 
This new in box bratz doll sold for $52, I purchased her for 3.99 at goodwill. After the 5.20 in ebay fees, 1.89 paypal fee and the 19.05  I paid in shipping, I ended up making 21.87. Not bad for a $4 investment, this girl actually sold the first week but they buyer didn't pay (I hate that!!) so she sold on a second chance offer the second week. 

These two pairs of icon bladder control undies sold together for $20, I purchased these at goodwill for 1.29 a pair (I thought these could be used for period underwear but was mistaken so I sold what I had left in package). After the 2.00 ebay fee, the .90 paypal fee and the 4.49  paid in shipping the items I made 10.03..

This pair of icon bladder control undies sold for 22.27 I purchased these for 1.29 from goodwill. After the 2.23 ebay fee, .93 paypal fee and the 3.74 paid in shipping I made 14.08...


This set of 4 bamboo cantaloupe/melon spoons I got for $1 at salvation army sold for 15.00. So after the 1.50 ebay fee, the .45 paypal fee and the 4.06 I paid in shipping I made 8.99. Not a huge profit but was glad the got a new home. For the first 2 weeks of July I made a profit of 54.97 with cost of goods being 8.86, not bad at all. I hoping to keep putting a few items up every week but once school starts we shall see, it gets crazy around here...
