My second favorite month is here!! (My most favorite is December of course!) It’s definitely going to be a busy month for me! I start my new job as a Logistics Analyst Oct 19th and Steven and I are preparing for our move down to Richmond! I love moving and change and interior design and decorating! I cannot wait to find our new place. We want to have three bedrooms so we can have more space and keep one room as our “eBay room.” Steven plans to eBay full time down there which is great because there are so so many thrift stores in the area. I plan on still doing eBay on the side, thrifting after work and weekends. My goal is to list about 25 items a week.
Anyways, about September, let’s talk about my $3000+ profit!! All together I sold 153 items and made a profit of $3,136.41. I was bummed when a $150 coat was being returned, but I relisted it today and it sold within minutes. Here is what my profit breakdown looks like:
My profit is on the rise! Last month I made almost exactly (a few cents off) $1000 less than this month. And in July, I was only just over $1000 total profit. At this rate, I’ll be a millionaire in no time ;P
Here are a few of the items I have sold in September:

I also wanted to mention one of Steven’s sales that had my jaw to the floor. He picked up a Ralph Lauren coat at goodwill for $15. We both thought the coat would bring in around $100. After he did some research, he realized he stood to make a lot more so he priced the coat at $700 obo. Offers started rolling in immediately and he accepted an offer of $600 within a week.
Now that I’ve talked about September sales, I want to talk about October. I know it’s only been one day, well not even one day, but I’ve already made about $188! I’ll try to keep you as updated as I can during the move.
