A pretty run of the mill week for my store in last summer — 26 sales for $1105 gross and $710 net. The high individual sale was this Maxx Crosby autographed card ($87.41 net), a card that I picked up in quantity for around $45.
My trading card lots continue to make up about 50% of my weekly sales, a trend that I hope will continue as we head into Q4. The big sale at $45.66 net was this 20 card lot of Red Sox cards where my COGS was about $25. If I can continue to keep my inventory organized, I should be able to keep my store stocked with lots like this. Sell one, prep the next one and get it listed. It’s a nice pipeline.
Sold two more full sized jerseys out of the original batch of 15 or so that I listed a few weeks back, and I have another pile of about 10 which are on my to-do list for this week. My net was $40.98 on this Bernie Kosar signed Cleveland Browns jersey and my COGS was $23, purchased in late June. I did a little worse with this Elvin Hayes signed Washington Bullets jersey, net $33.49 with a COGS of $24, purchased in May. But still in the black on both, and I am gaining confidence that signed jerseys and memorabilia might become a permanent niche that buy and sell in.
Oddball sold of the week was this pair of Jimmy Carter inauguration tickets, net of $12.06, picked up over a year ago from one of my regular card consignment sellers for a $2 opening bid. I’m hoping the election will inspire some collectors to send their old memorabilia and tickets to consignment sellers. I love when they list items like this because they often make mistakes with the listing, or it’s just not a good item to sell at auction, and I love winning auctions like that.
What did you sell this week?

Trapper Keeper Mead Original Binder Retro Portfolio Vintage Style SUNSET Pink
Wow, what a mistake this buy was! Walmart was having a clearance sale on these things for $6. I speculated that eventually the price would jump back up and I would be making $20-25 per binder. I have 50 more of these listed. In well over a year, this is the FIRST one I’ve sold…
I took an offer of $8. After all fees I made…3 cents. Man I just want these things gone…

Little Nemo The Dream Master Nintendo Nes Cleaned & Tested Authentic
This sale is why I fully cleaned the NES games I listed. The pricecharting average is $11 for a loose cart and I got $15+shipping. I want that top dollar if I’m gonna list games!

Sony PlayStation 5 PS5 DualSense Wireless Controller White CFI-ZCT1W
This was just a random item in the vintage toy cleanout yard sale. Just thrown in a box so I technically didn’t pay anything – we’ll call it a buck.

Sony HDR-SR11 10.2MP 60GB HD Hybrid Handycam Camcorder w Nightshot TESTED
Another item from a random box of electronics at that toy cleanout sale. Sold for full price. Sony handycams are like printing money – definitely a BOLO.

Whirlpool Kenmore Maytag Dryer Control Board 8546219 WP8546219 3980062 8557308
I thought I had sold all the dryer parts when I parted out my old dryer. I finally got a bin low enough to do a bin cleanout for inventory control and this was no longer listed! I relisted it and it sold very quickly for full price.
https://www.ebay.com/itm/266891003234
Yep, another item from the toy cleanout. Again sold for full price.

Bernina Editor Lite V4 Embroidery Software with Dongle for Windows 2000 XP
So this was a pickup of what I thought was a Bernina sewing machine accessory that was going to be worth like $30 and I paid $4. Well turns out the actual item I thought I was getting was incomplete and thus worthless. Who cares though – inside the box was this amazing gem! I was hoping to get alot more, but the version was too old. I took and offer of $70.

My thoughts are no exciting sales of the week. However, I’ve been watching her channel https://www.youtube.com/results?search_query=tuitionaintcheap as I mentioned and picked up one of her commonly sourced items. It did sell super fast. I also needed a mop replacement for ours and couldn’t easily find it, and thought – I get it. https://www.ebay.com/itm/335465376150
If it has a bar code, I might think about picking it up again and listing with my phone even though it’s low dollar.
https://www.ebay.com/itm/335083780171 estate sale find. Paid pennies and it took a couple of months to sell.
