March 16, 2024- Lots of Buying and Selling


I have sold six items since my update at the end of February. I bought a lot of items, twenty, since then and have went for a large ramp up, because I am trying to get to $1000 overall as fast as possible. To try and accomplish I’m going to learn some stuff about new types of items in the process.

Sales

I sold a set of one of the Granite Cutting Blades and made $11.72 in profit. I sold one of the Hobart Propane Cutting tips and made $1.67. I sold two sets of Ralph Lauren sheets and made $21.11 in profit. I sold a DVD I bought and made $1.16 profit. I sold the Painter’s puzzle and made $7.24 in profit. I made a total of $42.90 in profit on these items and had a cost of $121.48 in them.

I sold a couple of older items in the Granite Cutting Blade and the Painter’s Puzzle, which makes me happy to move some items that are over a year old sell. To get these older items sold is good to keep more turnover of older items I hope will happen soon. I have started doing promoted listings to try and get the older items to move faster.

Purchases

I went to two different pawn shops and Goodwill to pick up the twenty items I got. They included some DVDs, Video games, comic books, knives, Nintendo Wii U console, and two pairs of shoes.

I am trying to list an item a day for as long as I’ve got new inventory to get the sites I’m selling on giving me more impressions on my items.

I don’t know much about knives and will likely lose money on some of them, but want to pay for some education on what is out there. I am thinking about dedicating a certain number of hours a week to get a lot of consistency with this. I am really enjoying flipping recently.
