A New Post, and The Continuation of a New Fun Journey!
Hey there everyone! I just wanted to start off by thanking you all for returning to read my posts, and for being so supportive thus far. I genuinely and whole heartedly appreciate it and can’t thank you enough. So! To actually thank you, I thought I could do a little giving back in a new weekly post for you guys!
I’ve gone back and forth as to if I wanted to make a new post weekly of My top 10 unique sales, or My top 10 favorite sales, etc. But, I’ve come to the conclusion that the best and most helpful posts would probably be consisting of My Top 10 BEST Sales!
Today will be week number 2 of this new little blogging series, and I’ve love to hear about how you like it in the comments below! Let me know what your favorite or best sales were of the week, or if you have any suggestions to improve upon this and future posts.
I hope this provides some useful information for you all, and that you can take something away from it each and every week. I will be providing the item that sold, the platform that it sold on, the date sold, and the price that it sold for. Also, I will be letting you know if these items were sold by sending an offer, receiving an offer, or if they sold for full price. These will be listed from highest to lowest in sold price, from numbers 1 to 10.
Let’s get these sales rolling! Woo!

Summary
So, as you can see from the list above, most of my great sales of the week hover around the $30-$50 mark. On average, I usually make many more sales that are less than that. These small, but regular sales, is what helps keep my stores afloat, and I really love having a variety of price points available for all kinds of different buyers across the platforms. I also run an ongoing sale on Poshmark, 5/$25, which allows customers to add any items $15 and under (from any category) to a bundle for a total of $25 + shipping. This keeps my lower priced items flowing, and allows for bundle making opportunities!
Many times, I make sales by sending out offers. I do this on every platform whenever possible. I truly believe that without this option being available, I would be making much less sales per day. Because of this, I highly recommend you send offers when you can! Be proactive and treat every chance to make an offer as a potential sale. Everyone loves a good deal!
Stay Active!
Now and then, I will make a larger sale, such as a Burberry coat that I sold a few weeks prior. I have a few higher end, higher priced items available, but these do not sell nearly as often as the more affordable items. That is why I like to keep a plethora of different kinds of items, targeted at different kinds of customers, so that I am consistently making sales at all different sorts of price points.
eBay was clearly busier this past week, but that’s isn’t always the case. Both Poshmark and eBay are definitely my top selling platforms, and often have very similar sales days. Depop and Mercari on the other hand, were not as active this week, but I haven’t been as active on those. (Which makes sense. Stay active people!) Kidizen and Etsy were duds this week, but that happens sometimes. Just remember that the more active you stay and the more listings you consistently put up, the more sales you have the potential to make. Let’s make all the monies!
