My Top 10 Sales of the Week!

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!

Suggestions or Comments!?

Today will be week number 25 of this 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 10 to 1.

Updates!

*Tip about “Hard Goods”: Make sure when you are finding hard goods however, that they are not too big, bulky, lengthy, or heavy. Of course UPS and FedEx offer better rates sometimes when it comes to these categories, but a lot of times you’ll still end up paying nearly $20-$30 in shipping, and that’s no fun. So just keep this in mind whenever you’re sourcing, and make sure those items will leave you enough room for a good profit margin. These items also take much longer to package, ship, and often take up more room in your inventory storage.

Week of 5/28-6/3

*Side Note: I wanted to start including a few notes underneath certain items, so that you have a better idea of perhaps why I picked the item to begin with, and how the sale went for me. I hope this is helpful!

Please let me know in the comments below if you have any other suggestions or questions! Thanks for reading!

***Quick Note about lots that have been selling! Keep in mind lots tend to be heavier than your usual sale. The sold price listed below will reflect the TOTAL sold price (which will include the shipping that was paid).

If you’d prefer I break these up from now into sold cost and shipping cost, let me know down in the comment section below and I will do just that! Thanks for reading and enjoy! -Shelby

Summary

Ebay has most certainly been my go to platform the last several months. My profit margins keep slowly increasing on average across the board as I try new sourcing methods, and new ways of listing.

However, I usually make many more sales that are less than that, which help keep my stores active and items moving out the door!

Check out this recent post that goes into why I decided to revamp my ENTIRE Poshmark closet!

But, 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.

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! (And make sure your counter offers option is turned on!)

Be proactive and treat every chance to make an offer as a potential sale. Everyone loves a good deal!

Stay Active!

I have a few higher end, higher priced items available, but these do not sell nearly as often as the more affordable items. (I prefer if possible, to sell my luxury items on Poshmark, since they have a free authentication service for anything over $500, this is a nice tip to keep in mind).

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 has definitely been my top selling platform as of late. Poshmark, Depop, Etsy, Mercari on the other hand, have been up and down, but when you don’t put as much effort into a platform, it definitely shows.

Unfortunately, I had to say goodbye to Kidizen for now. Pop on over to this post when you’re finished reading to here all about why I decided to let it go!

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 flip all the things!

Thank You!
