A Growing Inventory

In July this year, I got back into reselling and thrifting. As of this writing, I have 93 items on my eBay store. I have sold 27 items and had a single return. My 90-day total for sales is $710.

I ran out of space in my closet, which was already packed with junk. So, I bought a Laiensia Double Rod Clothing Rack on Amazon and a 50-pack of coat hangers from Target.

The coat hangers were on sale for $6.40, and the rack was $16.14. I used a gift card from Swagbucks for the rack, and I charged my Amex for the hangers.

I’ve been changing my sourcing to the Amex to earn some miles. A few shops I have gone to don’t accept Amex, and I have used my Cap1 Walmart card at those locations.

I’ve shopped at Goodwill, Safe Space, and Cause for Paws. I am planning on hitting up some garage and yard sales next year. I’m also thinking about maybe checking out estate sales. Of course, it is easier to plan shopping trips than to list the products I already have.

My pile of unlisted apparel is getting bigger. If I listed everything, it would put me over 100 items in my eBay store. I did put up some “lots” after I found three sets of matching men’s and women’s shorts.

I got three Chino by Anthropologie relaxed-fit shorts, 2 pairs of “The Wanderer” Anthropologie shorts, and four pairs of Roundtree & Yorke shorts in size 42. Actually, I’ve misplaced the men’s shorts somewhere in my room.

I am sure they will eventually show up. Probably?

Let’s see what else. I failed a job exam for a search rating position at Telus International. I passed the first two portions of the exam, but I screwed up on the final test and they don’t do retakes.

College is moving right along. I am working on the 4th chapter of business communications. We’re starting to talk about social media communications for businesses.

I must admit, I suck at social media. I recall back in 2007 thinking MySpace and Facebook were fads that would fade away…


That’ll be it for today. I will post again on this topic once we enter the 4th Quarter for Thrifting.
