No Go
I was supposed to meet the Cabbage Patch lady this evening. She emailed me this afternoon that she had a family emergency that would have her away from home all evening. She said, "Maybe we can coordinate our schedules another time." If I had a sale pending for that amount of money, I would be a little more concrete than "maybe another time". I get the feeling she's rethinking and trying to back out.
Stinky sales day today, but I can't complain. My sales have been through the roof for several weeks now. I can take a slow day without complaint. I sold 3 homeschool books, a sewing pattern, a jar of shoe cream, and a pair of sandals. Very high unit price today. <eyeroll>
I'm up way too late again. Gotta get to bed so I can catch the mail lady in the morning.
I hate Blogger's new look, by the way.

Success Is Mine!
... for one more week anyway. I didn't do it. I didn't shop. Instead, I came home and took pictures to list! The more I see my unlisted inventory pile shrink, the easier it is to avoid shopping and making that pile grow again. I'm getting there. Slowly but surely.
Some fun sales today:
Even American Girl dolls lost a shoe now and then. I had only 1 of Kirsten's meet outfit shoes, but ones I realized that a pair sells for almost $25.00, I decided to list this one by itself, just in case someone else needed one. It sold a lot faster than I expected! It went to Oregon for $9.99 + shipping.
These Dockers shorts are going to Greece for my full asking price of $29.99 + shipping.
My microwave turntables sell in spurts. I hadn't sold any for about a month, and now I've sold 3 in the last week or so. I have Best Offer on all my turntables, but all three of these have sold for my full price. This one was $29.99 + shipping. It was a big one - 16"!
I had this skirt listed pretty high ($39.99) because it was different - not your ordinary denim skirt. I had several watchers on it, but no bites. Someone messaged me last night, asking if I'd consider an offer. I added the Best Offer option, and woke up this morning to a $32.75 offer. Good enough!
These are Worishofers. I've never heard of that brand before. I found a pair of their sandals back in November. They looked like they were a quality sandals, so I bought them and have gotten zero interest in them. For some reason, I decided to pick these up anyway. I just got around to listing them 2 days ago, and they sold the next morning for $35! I'm not convinced that's an official BOLO brand though.
I have had this frog forEVER. That blue ruler is a 12" ruler. This thing is enormous, which is why I put off listing it for so long. I think I had it for 4 or 5 months before I finally decided to list it. I just couldn't figure out how I would ship something like that. I finally bit the bullet and listed it in November. There was only one other one that had recently sold for around $90, so I priced mine at $129.99 or best offer. That first week, I got several offers: $10, $1, another $10, and $25. lol. No. I recently reduced the price to $99.99 or best offer and finally accepted an offer for $50 yesterday. Plus $16-something shipping to Ohio. I had only paid $1 for it, so I'm quite happy with that profit margin. The thing takes up half a shelf and is just plain IN the WAY, so it was time to send him on his merry way.
**********
I'm listing some more odds 'n' ends tonight. Those always take me forever, because I have to research each item. And then I stop in between listings to write a blog post (ahem). Back to the grindstone! Can't sell it if it isn't listed!

Help!
I haven't been thrifting since March 20th. I'm on a buying freeze until I get all my unlisted inventory listed. That IS the point, after all....
Tuesdays are my usual thrifting days. That's today. I'm getting desperate and weak!

To Buy Or Not To Buy
A week or so ago, a woman posted on my local Facebook selling group that she had a mountain of original Care Bears and Cabbage Patch dolls, all still in their original boxes. Originally, she had said she would accept almost any offer just to be rid of them. But then some helpful idiot replied that she should sell them on eBay, because she would get more for them. Ugh. So there went my chance of getting them cheap.
I contacted her anyway. After several back-and-forths, she came back with an appalling number. She obviously had done her research on eBay, and then doubled that number or something. It was ridiculous. So I wrote her back with my top dollar, which was somewhere around a fourth of her number. I told her that she was asking significantly more than I could afford, but that if she ever decided she was willing to sell them for my number, to please feel free to contact me.
My theory was that she would try to sell them on eBay herself. Clearly she does not have a store, or she'd have done that already. Just as clearly, she doesn't sell on eBay regularly, which tells me she probably would try to auction them, rather than do fixed price and wait for the right buyer. These particular items are going to require just the right buyer, and most of them will probably have to sit for quite some time. So my hope was that she would try to sell them herself, fail, and come back to me and accept my offer.
A day or so later, she wrote me that these things technically belonged to her mom, and that "her mom" was willing to negotiate. (I don't think her mom had anything to do with it. I think she's using her mom as a scapegoat - someone to blame for these crazy price jumps all over the place). "Her mom" was willing to come down to $200 more than my offer. Yes, that was a significant drop from her original out-of-her-mind price, but it was still $200 more than I was willing to pay. I wrote her back and told her that, again, knowing she would probably be back in a month or so.
I was wrong. She was back in 3 days. Again, "her mom" would be willing to come down to my price, but she wanted to keep the 5 best dolls out and try to sell them for more. Sigh. I have to give her credit. She is driving a very hard bargain. She knows what she's doing with the negotiation.
I actually pulled out an old-fashioned piece of paper and a pen, and I wrote down all the facts, including how much I think I can expect to sell these things for. I wrote down my primary concerns:
- I am trying to save up for a storage building. That amount cuts significantly into my savings.
- Since I don't have the storage building yet, where on earth would I put 50 Cabbage Patch Kids and 15 Care Bears, all in their original boxes??
- How long will this amount of money be tied up in this inventory, while I'm waiting for it to sell?
- There are VERY few original Care Bears in their boxes on eBay, so it's really hard to get an accurate picture of how much they will sell for. Similarly, there are a gazillion different variations of Cabbage Patch Kids. They are also next to impossible to research. Without having them in my hands, it's REALLY hard to get a good idea of what I can make from them.
- I'm not getting the storage building until mid-May. I will easily be able to save up the rest of the money by then, even without the amount I would pay for this stuff.
- My mother-in-law has a spare bedroom that she offered up for me to store them in. I will keep 3/4 of them at her house and 1/4 of them here. I'll only list the ones that are here, so I don't have to trek to her house every time one sells.
- How long will my money be tied up in ANYTHING that I buy for resale? That's part of the risk of this business, and I can't let that be a primary consideration in business decisions.
- Research ... there's nothing to be done about that. I am positive I can at least double my money, reasonably sure that I can triple it, and hopeful that I can quadruple it (if I can get top dollar for everything). The research will take time, but with those odds, I'm not terribly worried about it.
I'm excited! It's a big investment, but I think they are great items and should make me some great money. I'll keep you posted!
My Top eBay Moments This Week
I had some fun sales this week! I sold 49 items. My shoe cream inventory is really low right now, so most of those sales were actually "real" items.
These vintage single-serving gelatin molds were given to me. I wasn't expecting much out of them, because less than half of them were brand name, so I listed them for $9.99 + shipping. I got two watchers almost immediately, so I raised the price to $11.99 and they sold overnight. I guess that was still too low. I am quite confident in my shoe and clothing prices, but these odds and ends stump me more often than not.
These Lite Brite pegs were from the same friend. I figured if they were being given to me, it was worth a shot to maybe make a few bucks on them. I decided to list them for 30 days, instead of my usual Good Til Cancelled, and if they hadn't sold by the time we have our yard sale, I'd stick them in the yard sale for a buck or two. They also sold very quickly.
Had some great American Girl sales this week. These are Kaya's winter accessories. They are still available on the American Girl website for $22. But for some reason, someone wanted to buy my pre-owned set (which was missing the feather from the hat). Go figure.
From the same friend. They were hers when she was little. I sold them too low too, but once the buyer told me why she wanted them, I was perfectly fine with the price. She had this set for her daughter 30 years ago. Her daughter passed away, and about a month ago her nephew broke the cup. She's been looking for a replacement ever since. Sad story, but I'm so glad I was able to make her set complete again.
Circo cowgirl boots = good sellers. This is the fourth pair I've sold. I bought these from a girl on my local Facebook selling group. They sold quickly too. This was a week of quick flips! These sold on a Thursday night. The buyer messaged me that she hoped to have them by Sunday (she lives in my state), and she would pay extra for faster shipping. So she sent me extra money for Express mail. I packaged them up and made a special trip to the post office. They didn't make it in time, but she was very very nice about it. She knew it was a long shot right from the beginning. I'm sure her granddaughter will still love them, even if they ARE a day late.
I love SAS shoes. These were in fantastic condition, but they were a kind of odd size (10 narrow), so they took awhile to sell. I had gotten a couple offers on them. I finally let them go this week for a little less than I'd have liked, but they clearly weren't going to get me top dollar anytime soon, so I accepted the offer.
I have good luck with men's Ralph Lauren shirts. This is the 4th or 5th one I've sold since I started selling clothing in January. I had it priced at $39.99 or best offer, and I was glad to accept an offer for $35.
I'm kicking myself about these. These are earth brand (with a lower-case 'e'). I've had them for awhile, but I just got around to listing them last night. I researched and found the same pair (smaller size) that recently sold for $32, so I priced mine at $35 + shipping. I almost priced them for $40 or $45, but for some reason, I stuck with the $35. They sold within 3 hours. That's possibly one of my fastest shoe sales. Always, always, always pick up earth brand shoes, as long as they have the lower-case 'e'. If they say "earth shoes" or have a capital "E" they are Walmart brand, and you should skip them.
I can't remember if I mentioned this pan earlier this week or not. I've had it for a really long time. I sold it probably 9 months ago, but it ended up being a UPI. Apparently I forgot to relist it. I saw it on my stack of listed pans a couple weeks ago and was surprised that it hadn't sold yet. I went to check the listing and see if I should make changes, and I realized it wasn't even listed. I listed it and it sold quickly.
I'm going to give you a very important tip about Wilton pans. They can ship in a poly mailer. Don't be afraid. Wrap them 3 or 4 times in bubble wrap, and they'll be just fine. I've shipped quite a few of them like that, and I've never had any problems.
That's a big part of why this pan sold so quickly. All the others ones listed were charging $7-10 for priority shipping. I knew I could ship mine for around $3. So I priced mine so that my price was just under the others, but offered free shipping. Because it only cost me $3 to ship, I still ended up making more than the other, higher-priced ones. For example, there was one listed for $37 + $10 shipping. I priced mine for $44.99 with free shipping. My total price was $2 less than that other seller, but that other seller is only getting $37 for theirs, whereas I still got $41 for mine after I substracted my shipping cost. Does that make sense? First class shipping on Wilton pans can really give you a leg up on the competition.
Another Kaya outfit.
I sold this for my hairdresser. I'm sure she paid more for it than what I sold it for, but she handed me 2 of these, 2 wigs, and a bag full of wig ponytails and said she wanted to get $100 out of it. I'm keeping one of the wig heads as payment, and I've sold the other head, both wigs, and 7 of the 18 ponytails for a total of $149.48, so I'm not too worried about the individual sale prices anymore. She's gotten her $100, so the rest is just bonus money to her.
Another American Girl outfit. This one belongs to Marisol. Marisol clothing seems to be in pretty high demand. I've sold 2 of her outfits for top dollar.
Isn't she gorgeous? If I was a doll person, I'd have kept her. She's just beautiful. I love her face. Sigh. But I'm not. And if I kept her, she'd have gotten destroyed by my crazy kids. I hope she's happy in her new home.

What did you sell last week?
Friday, April 13, 2012
Yes!!!
Check out what I sold overnight!!
Meet Nellie. She sold for a whopping $139.99!!! I'm not sure what makes her so valuable, other than she was only made for a couple years, so I guess there aren't as many of her available as there are of the other dolls. But whatever the reason - I'll take it! Now ... this is one of my very rare listings that I don't require immediate payment. I wanted to make it as easy as possible for buyers to buy more than one AG item at a time. The downside of that is that they don't always pay right away. So I'm crossing my fingers that this sale does actually go through.
Here's the recap. I paid $31 for all my AG stuff last Friday. To date, I've sold $259.95!
**********
Speaking of box lots, it's been awhile since I sold any play food. I sold my veggies yesterday, so I'm down to just my chips/fries/onion rings. I have several watchers on them, so hopefully they go soon and I can be done with that box lot.
Recapping that one, I paid $2.99 for them and to date have sold $72.93 worth.
**********
A few other good sales yesterday, and then I have to get my day going.
I mentioned on We Sell on eBay awhile ago that little girls' pink Circo cowgirl boots sell well. A woman had these available on my local Facebook group for $6. I met up with her and bought these as well as a pair of Gymbo boots. These sold within a week or so for $24.99 + shipping! Yes, Circo is a cheapie Target brand, but these have a VERY consistent sell through rate. This is the third pair of these that I have sold, plus a pair of brown and pink ones. Always pick them up when you find them in good condition. She bought them Thursday night and needs them by Sunday. She's in the same state, and she just wrote me that she'd like to pay extra for Express shipping, so we shall see...
**********
I underpriced this set for some reason. But once I heard the buyer's story, I was okay with it. There are none others of this set listed (current OR completed) for me to base my price off of, so for some crazy reason, I listed them for $19.99. Not surprisingly, they sold overnight. The buyer wrote me to let me know that she had bought this set 30 years ago for her daughter, who has since passed away. Last month, her nephew threw the cup and broke it. She was devastated and has been looking for a replacement ever since. It made me feel good to know that I was able to help her out.
**********
I thought these Tevas were absolutely adorable, and if they were my size, I'd have kept them. Fortunately, they weren't. I have enough shoes as it is! That's the curse of being a shoe seller. :) These did take a few months to sell, but they finally sold yesterday for my full asking price of $39.99 + shipping.
**********
I guess I'd better go hop in the shower, since I'll be making a special trip to the post office. Yay for deductible mileage....

I underpriced this set for some reason. But once I heard the buyer's story, I was okay with it. There are none others of this set listed (current OR completed) for me to base my price off of, so for some crazy reason, I listed them for $19.99. Not surprisingly, they sold overnight. The buyer wrote me to let me know that she had bought this set 30 years ago for her daughter, who has since passed away. Last month, her nephew threw the cup and broke it. She was devastated and has been looking for a replacement ever since. It made me feel good to know that I was able to help her out.

I thought these Tevas were absolutely adorable, and if they were my size, I'd have kept them. Fortunately, they weren't. I have enough shoes as it is! That's the curse of being a shoe seller. :) These did take a few months to sell, but they finally sold yesterday for my full asking price of $39.99 + shipping.

I guess I'd better go hop in the shower, since I'll be making a special trip to the post office. Yay for deductible mileage....
