I found a bunch of goodies at a rummage sale over the weekend, and am still working my way through it all getting it listed. But, I’ve already had two of my rummage sale items sell, making back almost half of what I spent that day, and I have SO many more items from that haul yet to sell.

And here are a few more fairly quick flips:

| Annie Little Einsteins Bean Bag Plush Paid: $1.50 @ local consignment store, Sold: $14.95 (6 days later) |
I love buying and selling Dr. Seuss book lots, but this was a good reminder that the board book lots don’t sell for as much as the hardcover book lots do. My profit on this sale was really low.

| Dr. Seuss Board Book Lot Paid: Around $4, Sold: $14.95 (8 days later) |
And I think I should have priced a little higher on this one.

How have your sales been this month? April has been a bit weird for me sales-wise. It started off busy, and then slowed down to almost nothing for several days, then picked back up to normal yesterday. Here’s hoping the sales continue!

April 16, 2014 at 12:09 amapril has been strange. It started slow then got busier than i have EVER been then slowed way down. the entire 1st quarter was way above my average too so i cant complain too much 😀 nice flip on the disney mug! do you offer free shipping? i cant ever get mugs to sell for that much 😀

April 16, 2014 at 3:44 amIt sounds like our sales this month have been complete opposites. 🙂 I do offer free shipping on almost everything. I prefer to sell items that ship first class or in a flat rate mailer, but I do sell bigger items on occasion.

April 16, 2014 at 1:39 amI’ve never really thought about buying clothes for resale at garage sales. I’m so glad I read your blog! 😀

April 17, 2014 at 12:22 amIt took me a while to make the jump into clothing, but it’s been a great addition to my store. It’s amazing how many great (even NWT) items can be found cheap at yard sales. It does take a bit longer to list because I always include measurements. I was worried about returns to begin with if things didn’t fit, but I find I only have a couple returns a year. Totally worth that bit of inconvenience.

April 16, 2014 at 5:50 amI love Fit Flops! I paid retail for more than one pair before my eBaying days. Now when I find a pair in my size I keep them. I would LOVE to find a red pair this summer. I’m keeping my fingers crossed. 🙂
