Recent Quick Flips + Rummage Sale L♥ve

April 15, 2014 by Kari @ She Thrifts 6 Comments

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.  

Worn Brand Men’s Corduroy Pants
Paid: $2 @ rummage sale, Sold: $24.95 (within a couple hours)
NWT Kohl’s Wocket Plush
Paid: $0.50 @ rummage sale, Sold: $14.95 (day after listed)

 

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.

Mini Lalaloopsy Treehouse Set
Paid: $8? from FB ys site, Sold: $39.95 (day after listed)



A couple weeks ago I happened across a yard sale on the way home from my
son’s school.  They were selling all shirts for $0.25 and all pants for $0.50.

Women’s Neeso Camo Pants
Paid: $0.50 @ ys, Sold: $14.95 (17 days later)

I love finding these “train conductor” style overalls.

OshKosh striped “train conductor” overalls
Paid: $0.50 @ ys, Sold: $15.95 (4 days later)

 I thought these were really cute!


GS115 Distressed Jeans, Size 3T
Paid: $0.50 @ ys, Sold: $19.95 (7 days later)
Electric Purple Fit Flops
Paid: $5.99 @ VV, Sold: $64.95 + $25 shipping to Australia (3 days later)
Baby Blue Disneyland Mug
Paid: $2.99 @ GW, Sold: $29.95 (8 days later)

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!

      It 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.

    I’ve never really thought about buying clothes for resale at garage sales. I’m so glad I read your blog! 😀

      It 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.

      I 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. 🙂
