Favorite Five Friday, February 20, 2015

February 21, 2015 by Kari @ She Thrifts 7 Comments

Sales are hopping!  At the risk of totally jinxing myself, the last few days have been great.  I had planned to get some listing done this morning but never got to it because I had so many items to get packaged up – a good problem to have.  This is the first really good streak I’ve had this year, surpassing my loose goals of 5 sales (or $100+ in sales) per day.

Here are a few of my favorites from this week:

Cleo Pinocchio Plush
Paid: $4 @ consignment sale, Sold: $29.95 (listed since October, 2014)

I listed a bunch of footie pajama lots in November (I’d guess at least 10 different lots, maybe more) and every single one of them has already sold.  The ones below I took out of my youngest son’s dresser last week.  He hasn’t been wearing them, is close to outgrowing them, and I figured I might as well get them listed before winter is over.

8 Pairs of Carters Footie PJs, size 3T
Paid: $8ish total @ various yard sales, Sold: $34.95
(3 days after listing)

Costumes sell all year long!  Whenever I find toddler-sized Old Navy costumes I always look them up.  Some of them can sell for pretty good money.  Baby sizes not as much (although there are always exceptions, like the cheeseburger costume I sold for $50 last October).
 

Old Navy Chicken Costume, size 5T
Paid: $7? @ consignment sale, Sold: $44.95 (listed since October, 2014)

I bought this hat last summer at a friend’s yard sale.  I go to enough yard sales that several times each summer I wind up at yard sales of people I know.  I’m not a fan.  Either I feel bad because they don’t have anything I want to buy (and I feel like I should buy something), or they know I resell, and I don’t want them feeling like I’m trying to make a buck off of them.  Awkward.

VTG Smokey the Bear Snapback Hat
Paid: $1 @ ys, Sold: $39.95 (listed since November, 2014)

More maternity clothes, no surprise.  This particular skirt is an Australian brand.

Ripe Maternity Jean Skirt
Paid: $1 @ consignment store, Sold: $27.95 (listed since September, 2014)

And an honorable mention too! I have had this hanging around for-ev-er and had been waffling between listing and redonating it for months (it’s from the ’80s and shows its age a bit).

Snuffleupagus (Sesame Street) Christmas Stocking
Paid: $0.25? @ ys, Sold: $24.95 (5 days after listing)

      Well, I’ve missed my goal more days so far this year than I have attained it, but it is encouraging to have streaks like this. πŸ™‚

    I love seeing how long you’ve had your items listed, so helpful. I tend to get too impatient if something is sitting and move it to auction, making less money than I probably could.

      I probably have the opposite problem. I list it and forget it. I’ve been inventorying lately (a HUGE undertaking, and one I’ve procrastinated far too long). After a certain point it makes sense to add “best offer” or just drop the price dramatically to get it clearanced out. Knowing the original date I listed an item is so helpful to me in many ways.

    Glad to hear sales are picking up Kari! I had a flutter of activity the last couple of days. My highest this week was a WWII gas mask that hubby picked up at a GS for $2 this past summer. At first I told him to forget it and we left and then he circled around and came back to get it. Glad he did! πŸ™‚

      That is something I would look right over. Congrats on the sale, and hubby’s good eye! πŸ™‚
