How I Spent $100 Dollars At A Few Thrift Stores And Made Over $3000 On Etsy
This is how I spent $100 dollars at about 5 different thrift stores and turned it into over a whopping $3167 profit on Etsy. If you are going to do this you need to become aware of what's hot, market trends, check eBay completed auctions and try to check on www.collectorsweekly.com almost every day. They show you whats hot, completed auctions and current high bids. I like vintage and the MCM era but look for items that are going to make you money. Go to collectable stores and antique malls and look at prices and try to familiarize yourself with maybe 10-20 items that you keep seeing that are commanding big bucks. You also need to find out what time your thrift stores restock the shelves and always check-in every day. You never know when the next big treasure may show up. This was a home run day, but I never realized it till well after I got home. The research was worth every penny. Take awesome pictures, lots of light, do detailed descriptions and always include measurements. Set your shipping prices and price competitively and you are good to go. All of these items were sold on Etsy. The Belief makes it so!
1st item Vintage Lawn Darts - cost $5.00 - Selling price $154
2nd item Vintage French Flag - cost $2.50 - Selling Price $82.00
3rd item The Little Prince Antoine De Saint - Exupery 1943 1st edition Unsigned - Cost $2.00 - Selling Price $1000
