Here are a few of my better or faster flips from the past couple weeks:

Yesterday I sold the following two items, both of which I had picked up at yard sales last Friday.   Between the two sales I have already made back almost double what I spent the entire day, and I still have a bunch of other items from that day waiting to sell.  Such a good feeling!

Here are a few of my better or faster flips from the past week.

Quacker Factory doesn’t sell as well for me as it used to, and I now pass it up at least as often as I buy it, but I had a good feeling about this one.


Quacker Factory 2X Shirt
Paid: $2 @ VV, Sold on sale: $22.95 (7 days after listed)


Old Navy Leather Skirt
Paid: $2 @ VV, Sold: $24.95 (8 days after listed)

Paid: $2.78 @ VV, BO Accepted: $25 (listed since Sept, 2017)


Little Miracles Plush Zebra
Paid: $2.39 @ VV, Sold: $29.95 (20 days after listed)

These two blankets are the same brand and are a very similar pattern.  The same buyer purchased both.


Paid: $2.59, Sold: $59.90 (total)
Listed for 11 days and 9 months respectively

I have sold a stencil set like this once before.  This one sold for less because it had fewer stencils than other I sold.

Tupperware Tuppertoys Stencils Set
Paid: $0.50 @ rummage sale, Sold on sale: $22.95 (14 days after listed)


Creative Memories storage tote
Paid: $1 @ ys, BO Accepted: $25 (listed since Nov, 2017)

This was actually a 4 volume set, and I was only able to find 3 of them.  Which is a bummer, because I think if I had found the fourth I could have gotten almost twice as much.

Hebrew/Greek/English Bible Set
Paid: $3 @ rummage sale, Sold: $49.95 (17 days after listed)

And a few fun Easter sales.


Minnie Mouse Easter Plush
Paid: $1 @ rummage sale, Sold: $19.95 (18 days after listed)


Big Dan Dee Pink Plush Bunny
Paid: $2.39 @ VV, Sold: $29.95 (listed since Jan, 2018)

Finally!  I “sold” this bunny a few different times and the buyers never paid.  When it sold earlier this week I was quick to get it ready to mail, only to discover that it was sold via GSP and was going to Germany.  So, it won’t be there in time for Easter.

NWT BABW Hop Bunny Plush
Paid: $4.99 @ GW, BO Accepted: $34 (listed since Sept, 2016)

Did you have any fun sales this week, Easter or otherwise?  Please share!

I have kind of a love/hate relationship with David’s Bridal dresses.  I love buying them, they can be so pretty!  I hate that they are rarely a fast flip.

Here are a few of my favorite flips from the past week.

Clothes will never be my favorite thing to sell, but they definitely help pay the bills.  Whenever I find WHBM I take a second look.  I don’t always buy it, but some of their pieces are really pretty, like this dress.

Considering I never even figured out what brand this lovey was, it was a decent flip.

One of the mice had a flaw (torn/repaired foot),

December Sales (2017)

by 2 Comments

After my best months ever in September and October, my sales have dropped off a lot in November and December.  I admit though that I have not been listing like I should be.  Here are a few of my favorite sales from this month:

Aren’t these pajamas cute?!  I love the gnome pattern.  I procrastinated listing them for a long time (almost 9 months) because they had a light stain on the top that I couldn’t get out.  Finally I just listed them as is, and they sold quickly.

Nick & Nora Gnome Pajamas
Paid: $2 @ VV, Sold: $29.95 (9 days after listed)

’tis the season, coats have been selling well for me.

Chadwick’s of Boston Red Leather Coat
Paid: $2 @ VV, BO Accepted: $29 (listed since August, 2017)


London Fog Coat
Paid: $2 @ VV, Sold: $39.95 (listed since August, 2017)

Mackintosh-Scotland Blue Quilted Jacket
Paid: $2 @ VV, BO Accepted: $70 (listed since May, 2016)

I bought this to give as a gift a couple years back, and never gave it.  It sold weirdly fast.

Class of 2015 photo album
Paid: $2.99 @ VV, Sold: $19.95 (1 day after listed)

Lambs & Ivy Mobile

Ted Thunder Buddies Men’s Pajamas
Paid: $13 @ Wal-Mart, Sold on sale: $35.95 + shipping (1 day after listed)

Plush and loveys are still my favorites, of course.

I bought this dog for my son, and then decided he has MORE than enough plush as it is.


Paid: $2 @ VV, Sold on sale: $24.60 (listed since October, 2017)


Target Bullseye Plush Dog
Paid: ?, Sold: $24.95 (listed since July, 2015)

Koala Baby Zebra Blanket
Paid: $4 @ consignment sale, Sold: $39.95 (listed since October, 2017)

As you can see some of these items sold almost immediately (within a day), and some took a couple years to sell.  The plush especially tend to be long tail.  But, IMO, almost anything will sell eventually, and I don’t mind waiting for the right buyer to come along.

My sales haven’t been overly exciting this week.  Here are a few of my better or more interesting ones.

NEW Robert Taylor Wings of War Puzzle
Paid: $2.50 @ consignment sale, BO Accepted: $35.00 (listed since May, 2016)

I love this cribbage board!  The buyer was excited to add it to his cribbage board collection.

Monkey Bone Plush
Paid: $2.99 @ VV, BO Accepted: $29.95 (listed since May, 2016)

I picked this up at a yard sale two summers ago because I thought it was interesting.  And it has sat and sat and sat.  And then it sold this morning out of the blue at full price.


VTG 1963 Pacific Title Insurance Co Rates Plaque
Paid: ? @ ys, Sold: $19.95 (listed since August, 2015)

I was at a thrift a couple months ago, and made a second detour through the plush/toy area just before leaving only to discover boxes and boxes and boxes of older Barbie items had just been put out.  I looked them all up, and this was the only one worth snagging.

  NEW Krissy Swing ‘n Play!
Paid: $4.19 @ VV, Sold on sale: $54.05 (listed since March, 2017)

I am dreading the possible summer slow-down, since sales aren’t amazing as it is.  How are sales for you?
