Adventures in thrifting income from the pay per pound Goodwill - Day 15.
Things were looking pretty good at the Outlet today - there were 3 or 4 bins full of media! That means CDs/DVDs and stuff like that, and that is one of my favorite things to search through because I find things like old PC games and Audiobooks or educational things that always seem to sell well. Plus, the stuff is really light and shipping is easy.
Besides that stuff, I did find a bit more (and some stuff sold already!)- come see!
Today is April 1st and it is day 15. Let's see what I found this Sunday.
Woah! Look at this haul!
It is certainly a feast for the eyes.
I'm only keeping two PC games, Medieval Total War (because it doesn't sell for much but I didn't want it to be destroyed) and Diablo 3. Diablo 3 was just in a cardboard sleeve with the game key printed on it, so that means I literally paid less than 10 cents for it!
In the bottom right there is a plastic bin full of stuff, that stuff is a large magnet collection. I kept a few magnets from places I have been. I have a bit of a magnet collection myself, it is the one souvenir I buy when I go somewhere new and worthy of a magnet purchase.
Plus, there is quite a bit more NERF stuff for the big lot I am saving up for the summer.
This looks good to me!
- TWO copies of Beachbody Insanity workout with all DVD's!
- Hellfire expansion for Diablo 1 - pretty rare
- Ultima I-VI disc - also rare!
- Some music samples and loops for those audio creators
- Another John C. Maxwell set, but I could NOT find anymore - shame. I hope this is enough for a sale.
- Dark Star VHS. This looked like a cult classic, which sells well on old formats like VHS, and it was!
- Yoshi's Island for Nintendo DS
- Fellowship of the Ring, a dramatic audiobook with voice actors and stuff
- Wealth Intelligence Academy Lease Options Course for Real Estate Investing - big money if it sells
From the top left:
- Vintage playing cards. I follow this guy called ebaycardistry on Instagram and he has the ultimate playing card hustle.
- A VIP Opening Celebration thingy from Kartchner Caverns, which is near where I live.
- A sewing machine foot control.
- And this AMAZING vinyl suit (still sealed new) from the 1980's! OMG, this is so retro - I mean just look at these models! Haha! :D
A few more NERF guns for the collection. Plus a few K'NEX wheels and gears.
Pretty neat collection of magnets, mostly from Western USA states. I cherry picked a few places that I have been to but didn't already have a magnet for.
It ended up being a lot of 99 magnets after taking out the ones I wanted.
This is listed as an auction. If I can get just 50 cents per magnet, it will be a great thrifting pick.
Sales!
Notice anything unusual?
Yes, while I was listing all my stuff today I got two notification of sales! Both were items I just listed, the freaking vinyl suit and a copy of Beachbody Insanity! Quick money is so good.
Other things getting mailed tomorrow are the radio and the remote from day 12, and the crafting lathe from day 13.
All in all, it was a solid day of sales.
Day 15 Totals
Total Spent Today: $16.02
Running Total Spent: $249.88
Total Listed Price Today: $388.70
Running Total Listed Price: $3036.91
Total Sales: $750.67
Total Profit: $442.89
We have reached the halfway point and are close to $500 in profit! Can we reach $1,000 before the end of the 30 days? What do you think? Leave a comment below.
As always, tomorrow is a new day and a new thrift!
I hope the people that bought the lathe don't want it delivered the day before yesterday.
And will you count the money you make on steemit in the total?
Because it will probably be $1,000 of cryptos by summer this year.
Steemit money is not counted as this is for thrifting profits.
Plus, STEEM is for stacking!
Now I want a vinyl suit! My Thai friends would call me "high fashion". I have always dressed kind of crazy and got made fun of back in the states, but here - they love me!
Coming by to thank you for filling my delegation request. Now you have a stake in both me and my son @bxlphabet :) We both appreciate this so much. We are trying to stay of the path of posting here and staying active and you are helping. TYTYTY!
YW. I delegate to you because I know you will use it responsibly. 😊
In fact I have to do a little packing right now to get some eBay sales out..............
Nice! I hope you made some good money... the silver is calling. :D
yeah, $1,000 a month is no slouch amount. Good going , look forward to you hitting that mark @getonthetrain !!
Hey, thanks Rob
I don't play games so don't know much about them.. But I like the cool magnets.. can't believe I never collect those magnets from places I have ever been.. since I do not have a home yet.. it's just too many things around.. may be I will start collecting!
I like magnets because they are small and easy to display on the fridge.
It's nice to see them and remember the time you went there. 😊
This is amazing. How much time are you putting in with shopping, shipping. Etc.? Are you counting steem dollars made from these posts to your 1000? I think you should.
It's probably around 3.5 hrs per day. Steemit earnings are not included.
I do believe that you can reach the $1K mark!!!!
Yeah! We do have a nice amount of inventory listed on eBay that should give the profits a turbocharge.
I missed you yesterday - I found a lid!
😂
Isn't ' Diablo 1 too old already?
I am not sure someone will buy that expansion, what do you think?
And that NERF collection must be very big by now, that will surely sell for a nice profit!
People LOVE old games! They are good sellers.
Wow, this is fabulous! I do a bit of eBaying as well, but not like this. There's a local discount store that gets unclaimed and damaged freight where I've found a few gems that I make a tidy profit on, but this store you've found looks amazing! It usually takes me about a year to make a few hundred dollars which I then use as my vacation money.
If I have a gap in employment soon, I'd like to do more hardcore eBay sales like this.
"A few hundred a year"
Thems rookie numbers, you gotta pump those numbers up!
That's so funny that the vinyl suit sold right after you listed it. I knew as I was reading the post that it would sell, but I didn't think it would be that quick. I bet there's about three people out there who just spend most of their time scouring ebay for ridiculous eighties clothing.
And I should thank them for paying $35 for it! :D
I bet they're costume designers.
