I had fairly steady sales throughout November. Here are a few of my favorite flips.

I sold a lot of loveys in November. These all sold for $24.95:

All of these sold for $29.95:

These sold for $34.95:

This gingerbread plush sold last month. I was watching a new Netflix (Hallmark-esque) Christmas movie not long after and saw the exact same plush! Made me wonder if it caught the eye of someone else watching the movie and motivated them to look it up on eBay?

Paid: $1 @ ys
Sold: $18.66 (on sale)
Listed since July, 2019


Someone bought Kermit at the end of October. He was packaged up and ready to go when I got a cancellation request stating that her son accidentally ordered it. I was skeptical and a bit annoyed since I had it all ready to go and had to void the label, etc, but since I hadn’t mailed it I did as she requested. About a week later I was running a sale and it sold again for a few dollars less. Kermit was still packaged in the box so I grabbed it, removed the old label, printed the new label only to discover … the exact same person bought it again. (Insert eye roll here.)

Paid: $0.50 @ ys, Sold $21.21 (on sale)
Listed since August, 2019

Help me name my Etsy store!

by 4 Comments

Since this is my year to resell online full-time, I am finally going to dip my toe in the Etsy pool. This is something I have been thinking about doing for years (and years and years). Honestly, Etsy kinda intimidates me. And I am not super into vintage … except when I am. Which is usually vintage plush. I bought a lot of vintage plush from my cousin last summer when she was having a yard sale. Most are currently for sale in my eBay store, and they do sell occasionally. I’ve been thinking maybe I should cross post some of it to Etsy as a little trial run.

Of course when setting up an Etsy store one of the first things you need to know is the name of your store. To which I have given no thought. Something cute or clever or punny? That has to do with vintage, plush, love or loveys?

Gladly taking any name suggestions!! (As well as any Etsy tips you may like to pass along.)

I have had a pretty decent sales week, but they were mostly bread-and-butter, slow-and-steady sales. Here are a few:

They immediately left positive FB.

BOLO ~ How To Train Your Dragon ~ BABW

by Leave a Comment

I actually posted this as a BOLO over four years ago, but I think it *bears* repeating. Many of the How To Train Your Dragon plush from Build A Bear Workshop can sell for a nice amount. Check out some completeds HERE.

Meatlug often fetches the highest prices.

And if you need help identifying some of the HTTYD characters, this website could be helpful.

Happy hunting!

BOLO: Douglas (Sammy) White Samoyed Plush

by Leave a Comment

This is a BOLO I just happened to stumble across while researching another plush I was listing. I always take a second look at husky-like plush because I have sold a few for a decent profit. This white Samoyed dog (a breed I had never of before) by Douglas consistently sells for $150++! Check out completeds HERE. Other brands don’t seem to sell for quite as much, but are still probably worth pick up.

Happy hunting!
