So much to say and so little time

Well I haven't written in awhile and I feel bad, but who is really reading this anyways? Oh well, it wont stop me from sharing.
From the start of buying product(s) to mailing, the process takes forever. It can be exhausting but its all worth it. This is how I do it. I post everything every Monday. That way Im not posting every day when I have other things I need to do as a mother. On Mondays I go check out Goodwill and maybe another day in the week but when I get home Monday I add whatever I buy to my inventory from the weekend and the previous week and I take almost all day from start to finish. What a hassle.....
I have posted a lo of stufft. I find things everywhere I go, if its garage sales or thrift stores. I don't think I have walked out with nothing. As of right now I have over a hundred things posted to my profile and I have about twenty more things to post tomorrow, without my weekly goodwill trip. LOL.
For awhile there I was on fire. I was selling things left and right, it felt like something every day. Its an awesome feeling. I might not be working an eight to five job and making good amount of money but with this and my sign business I feel like I am contributing. The truth is this money is for school. I don't want to touch it at all, and believe its hard for someone like me who LOVES her purses. I find so many cute ones that I want. Im actually hoping my husband took a hint and gets a purse that I like for my birthday. Well see.
But it feels good to make the money, Im not just sitting around the house doing nothing. Like I mentioned earlier its very time consuming but it keeps me busy. There have been plenty of times where I don't want to do anything and just sit there, but then I think, who knows someone might buy what I have to post, so I get busy.
So this past weekend I think I scored a great find. One of the local charter schools was having a rummage sale and they had tons of clothes, five dollars a bag to be specific. I didn't really want to deal with anymore clothes because they aren't selling for me, but when they are five dollars a bag and you get the biggest bag there, stuff as much as you can in the bag and when there are great labels you do it. I just kept finding things with great labels and I kept finding things my boys needed. All for five bucks, it was a score. I have found some other things in the past couple weeks that have been great finds and I hope they will sell.
I have got a little discouraged lately because my streak of selling slowed down but then I just sold something today and made my biggest profit yet.
So I just have to stick to it and keep buying and posting.

The past 24 hours

What a great couple of days. I couldn't have asked for a better haul.

Yesterday I got the best deals and I found a treasure that should make me a bit of money. The first thrift store I found a few things but wasn't charged for a wallet I found for five dollars. Its a no name but its vegan leather. So I bought a little Kate Spade wallet for twelve that I can hopefully charge more. I found some designer nice dress pants for two dollars a piece. That night we went to a Vintage, junk sale and this woman was there and had a TON of jewelry. On one of her sides of the booth everything was two dollars. She had lots of bracelets, and rings, and necklace pendants. I was looking thru a box of costume bracelets and I saw what looked like the Coach symbol. I picked it up and it was DEFINITLEY Coach. I couldn't believe it. I also found a couple Alex and Annie bracelets, so hopefully I can make a little bit of money selling all four. Last night was a huge success. 

This morning we found a couple of garage sales and the two money maker items I found was a Michael Kors phone holder, brand new, for only three dollars and a Betsy Johnson purse for five dollars. 

I found some other things that will definitely be posted.

Its been a couple of great days for buying and selling. 

Lots to report

Hello to anyone and everyone that is reading this,
I haven't posted in awhile and I apologize and boy do I have some things to share. The last time I posted was after my garage sale Saturday adventures with ALL my treasures. It was a good day and I was able to post everything and its out there to sale. I stopped at Goodwill on Monday and found a Tommy Hilfiger satchel and a Roxy tote bag.
Tuesday I went on a impromptu trip with my mom down south. She had a meeting for work and I had an hour to go check out the local thrift stores. The first store I have gone to before and its where I found the Longchamp wallet, so I always have to stop. There purse and wallet section was pretty full, but nothing too extortionary. I found a cute Lesportsac crossbody. It was a little dirty but I was able to clean it and it looks great. The funny thing is at the store it looked blue but its actually black. I also found a blue Tommy Hilfiger crossbody and it has these cute patriotic stars on the front. Very cute and for the right occasion it would fit an ensemble perfectly.
Not a huge score but for ten bucks for both I'll take it.
Next I decided to go to another one down the street that I rarely go into. Its a pretty big store that holds a lot and after I tell you what I found, I will definitely be going back. Not only did I find a couple of good things the prices there are perfectly marked. The place is run by older ladies and what I have found out that when you have older ladies in thrift stores, they really aren't up on labels and what's trending and what's not. They had a few purses hanging up for a little higher price but those weren't worth it. I found their luggage selection, which was more like computer bags and used backpacks, but I did find a Tommy Bahama large tote bag for only four dollars. I found their wallets and purses and this one wallet stood out to me. I was looking thru it and the material inside looked familiar, I was thinking kate spade but I knew I've seen this before but I couldn't find the label. Right when I was about to put it back there was a label that read COACH. WHAT???? You know what the best thing about this was, well two things, it was super clean, one little ink mark but very clean, it was only a dollar fifty. So for two items under six dollars it was worth it and now you see why I want to go back.
Tomorrow we are going back south and I cant wait to see if I can find more.
Stay tuned

Today was a GREAT day....

I always start my Saturday mornings excited. I had about a dozen ones to go to, it was cool outside and I had my partner in crime with me(my mom). We always start with the ones around our homes(we only live two blocks from each other) and the first one always sets the mood. 

The one thing I cant STAND about garage sales is disorganization. This first house looked like they set up some tables, threw their stuff out there and seemed like they where still setting up, plus a lot of stuff was wet, like they left it outside from the night before. 

MOVE ON!!!...….

The next one wasn't in the greatest neighborhood but from a distant looked like good stuff, and I was right. I found a pink Michael Kors wallet for ten bucks and a pair of Converse Shoes for five that I can sell. I'm gonna keep the wallet for myself and sell the Michael Kors wristlet I am using now. This wallet is adorable. The shoes need some cleaning but very cute. 

The next one was kind of like a rummage sale, it was in a business parking lot and they had some stuff. Of course I noticed the purses first and the only one I found worth something was a Tommy Hilfiger. Its blue, cute smaller bucket purse that's clean and that could possibly sell. I found some other things for myself. 

The next one was at a Christin School that have had others before. They are kind of expensive and the women there are bitchy, but it doesn't stop us from going and seeing the new stuff. I had seen pictures prior to today and they had a lot of purses. I started looking and found an Urban Expressions metallic clutch/crossbody like purse for 5 bucks. I was searching the other ones and I saw this black one. Didn't think much of it and when I looked at the zipper pull it said Marc Jacobs....NO SHIT....it was a Marc by Marc Jacobs and it didn't have a price. I had to have it. How did I find another gem? I checked out there wallets and I found a cute leather smaller wallet in good condition and a Sak wallet, black and white, real cute and for both where five bucks. When I got to the front she only charged me three dollars for the Marc Jacobs. I spent a little more there than I wanted to, but what's the golden rule. You have to spend money to make money. 

So total today I spent twenty bucks on all the items I am going to sell, not to shappy. If you count the wristlet that I bought a month ago at a garage sale I guess thirty five then. Still not too bad. 

This is getting addicting and I love. 

Just this morning I made my third sale from Poshmark and I cant wait to post the new things I found. 

Another one bites the dust

All my new stuff I posted yesterday, this morning I received an email and I sold another item. YAY!!!!! All the way to New York.
This is working.
Tomorrow is Saturday and I have a handful of garage sales to go to, so cross your fingers and I find more stuff.
Stay tuned for my break down on all my deals.
Happy Garage Saleing….

I'm slowly making it work

I knew I wouldn't make hundreds overnight, there where things I needed to do, do be successful. One of the major things is building my inventory. If it's going to the thrift stores or garage sales(which Saturday is around the corner...yay) or actually been giving things, its definitely adding up. I try to post something every other day. I want to keep it fresh, interesting, keeping them wanting more.

My mom gave me a few items, that to the right buyer I think would go over well. I went thru my things again and was able to find some things I can part with. Yesterday the little one and I went to Goodwill just on a whim. Waiting for his brother to get out of school, so I had to rush a little. I found a really cute vintage authentic Disneyland purse. Its brown with three little patches on it. I also came across a Urban Expressions Vegan crossbody purse. Very cute and clean. I didn't see it till after I got back in the car but it had something sicky on the bottom cover, but I got home used my little cleaning technique and it came right out.

My inventory is adding up and I'm getting people responding so to me something is working.

My first sale and a recap of Saturday

Well I am on cloud nine tonight. I spent all day posting and recording all the items I got over the weekend and right after I was done, I sold a purse. I didn't make a big profit, but it was worth it. I gotta start somewhere right?

I need to recap you all on mu Saturday thrift store shopping spree. I didn't even step foot into a retail store. Getting down south we started out at the biggest store of the day. I had high expectations going in but I was let down. I shouldn't have gotten my hopes up for the purses and wallets. I found a Victor Secret beach tote, a Pink Victoria Secret sweatshirt and of course a few things for me. But not a lot to sell. While we where there my aunt gave me a bag full of clothes, really good brands and a few items with the tags still on. So that was a hit.
We headed back home and stopped at another town we have never been to and found a really neat, cheap and a lot to look thru new thrift store. There I found a brand new Calvin Klein Sweater WITH the tags still on for five bucks. I found two sunglass cases, one SPY and the other Calvin Klein, both for a dollar. So not too bad.
The last stop of the day was at a thrift store we usually go to. It was kind of a last minute decision and I am so glad we went. I went straight to the wallets and purses and skimmed thru them. I found a Coach wallet but I don't think it was real because there was not stamp or label in the inside, so I left that. Then I came across an orange one. I thought it was nothing because it felt plastic but when I opened it up it said Longchamp.....NO SHIT!!! I was freaking out in the inside and it was only seven dollars. I was in heaven but I kept questioning if it was real but the more I examined and researched it was real. The best thing was it smelt like leather inside and the inside was so clean. I couldn't believe the haul I got that day. I was a little disappointed after the big store but finding that wallet made my day all worth it.
After getting back I had a great bundle to post.
This morning we made our way to Goodwill. When I say "we", my little four year old tags along with me every day all day. He's my thrift store partner in crime. I went to the purses and there where a lot to choose from but nothing worth it, but I did find a Sak purse, real clean. Went to the wallets and there too where a lot to choose from but nothing to buy, but I did find an Authentic Disney Park wallet, real cute. I started thinking about looking thru the clothes but if anyone goes to a thrift store you know there's soooooo much to look thru, so I thought maybe look at the mens. I've seen a lot of people post shirts that are vintage looking or old brand name or anything that looks cool. I found three really cool men's shirts and they where all half off. So for three shirts, a purse, a wallet and a toy for my son, it was under twenty bucks. Not to shabby.
So after making my first sale today it makes it worth it and all I want to do is keep shopping, posting and selling. Its a high and I don't want to come down from it. LOL
