February 2025 – Change jar flip

I have sold 27 items since my last update on January 3, 2025. I made $210.87 of profit on these items for an average profit of $7.81. I would like to be higher than this, but this amount per average is still very good based on what I'm doing. I would like to have a complete turn of my inventory once a year at this point, and am trending in towards this. This would be optimal based on the amount of time I am willing to put into this. I hope to get up to 300 items if I can keep growing, but I am running into the position where I am not growing my inventory at this point very much and have around the same amount I need to reinvest month to month, about $600. Buc-ees Black Shirt I redonated two items for someone else to enjoy: the Japanese Stein and the Satellite Puzzle. They hadn't moved and there was no one looking at them, so it was time to move one. Stocks I bought eight more shares of Verizon during this time period from the profits I've been earning. I paid $313.05 for an average cost per share of $39.13125. As well, I received dividends on Verizon, Chicago Atlantic Real Estate, Altria, and British American Tobacco. I got paid $5.59 from Verizon giving me .141 more shares. I now have 16.375 shares of Verizon. I got paid $1.03 from Altria giving me .02 more shares. I now have 1.061 shares of Altria. I got paid $4.55 from Chicago Atlantic Real Estate giving me .301 more shares. I now have 7.301 shares of Chicago Atlantic Real Estate. I got paid $6.83 from British American Tobacco giving me .164 more shares. I now have 9.545 shares of British American Tobacco. With the 61.325 shares of Future Fuel my current yearly dividend amount is at $106.83. Was my initial investment of $36.38 a good use of that money? For sure, based on what I've been able to grow it into on a yearly basis already. I am almost at three times my initial investment that will be paid to me whether I do anything or not in perpetuity. Crazy how a small amount has already turned into this. I hope to continue to grow it over the years doing exactly what I've been doing so far. Buying items where I can make decent amounts selling them, and buying shares of companies I believe have a good chance to pay me while I hold them over time.
