A Quick eBay Sale

If you're new here, you may want to subscribe to my RSS feed. Thanks for visiting!

I’ve posted before about the brand Not Your Daughter’s Jeans (NYDJ) they’re pretty easy to spot in the thrift stores and are usually a nice profit.

Last week, I stopped at a local thrift store in between some piano lessons. I  had about 25 minutes to spend in the store, so I did a quick scouring.

I had just finished up the shoes and was headed to the sweaters when I walked past the skirt rack. On the end, I spied a NYDJ tag, so I snatched it up assuming it was a pair of jeans, but NO……it was actually a jean skirt.

Long jean skirts are usually a good sale for me, and I can expect around $24-29.99 for them.  I was SUPER excited about finding this one, I find a lot of jeans in this brand, but I’ve NEVER found a jean skirt in NYDJ.

I got home and looked this one up……there were a few NYDJ jean skirts on eBay, but none like this one, and not the same size.

I knew since there were just a few,  my chances for it selling were good.  I listed it at $49.99 on Friday morning.  Friday evening I checked to see what needed to ship out and low and behold, it had been purchased and paid for within less than 12 hours!

Here’s to finding another one this week……..

Update on Selling Pixos

I posted awhile back about one of my best finds, Pixos at the Dollar store. Here’s a little update for you……..

I bought out the Pixos at the dollar store I was at, and a week later, I went across town to the other one and spent another $75 on Pixos.  Didn’t quite buy that location out, but I felt like I had enough Pixos in my inventory at that point…….

Some of them sold right away, and then I had a long lull with no Pixo sales.  I kept my fingers crossed and kept my eyes on the Christmas selling season.

Sure enough…….I sold 43 packs of pixos during the Christmas season!  They were FLYING out the door!  It was so nice to have an item in inventory that I could list ONE time and sell tons and tons of the same item.  My Pixo bin was OVERFLOWING and now, I just have about 10 packs left sitting on a shelf in my garage   I am VERY pleased with the results of this dollar store find!

This Week’s Weekly Woo Hoo~A Twist

This week, let’s shake up the weekly woo on Friday.

Instead of listing something great you sold–share a link to the most interesting, funny, weird, beautiful, crazy (you pick) item in your store.

I’m telling you today to give you time to think about which item you’d like to add.

1. Limit 1 link per person.

2. Must be family friendly.

3. Share a description of it–where you found it or what you like about it.

Look What I Found

I’m SUPER excited about this find…….some of you may remember awhile back we had the King of Converse stop by and share some info about selling vintage Converse shoes.  The vintage ones are easy to spot because they’re made in the USA!

Since my conversation with him last spring, I’ve been looking everywhere for Converse made in the USA.  I’ve found a lot of Converse shoes, but all made in China…….last week, I was at VV (One of my faves!) and I spotted a pair of women’s pink Converse.  I don’t know why, but even after striking out so many times, I still get a little bit excited when I see a pair……maybe this will be the one I’m looking for!

I took a peek inside………

Sure enough!!!!  I had to double check…..I’m so used to seeing “Made in China” that I could hardly believe my eyes!

They’re in such fantastic condition, I wasn’t even sure they were authentic, they almost look brand new!

Fingers crossed, we’ll see how they do!
