Saturday Roundup (3/27/10)

"Saturday Roundup" will be a weekly article that compliments "Yard Sale Saturday". This article will show the items that we bought the previous week and give an update on how they are selling, what they have sold for and how much total profit we made on that weeks items.

Keep in mind that every product does not sell within the first 5 days, but for us we try to sell everything we buy as quick as we can. We do this by listing all of our items that we buy on Saturday of each week and putting them on 5 day auctions. This puts them ending on the following Thursday and allows us to use the profit from the week prior to purchase items at the coming weeks sales. Clear as mud? OK!

On with the numbers. This past week we spent a total of $53.50 on a number of items.

Some of these were really good buys and a few were duds. Once we got home and researched each item we put the duds to the side. No sense in listing something that we know will not sell for enough to cover our cost.

So after 5 days the items sold for:

We spent somewhere around 8 hours total shopping, listing and shipping the items. Not too bad for a part time weekend job.

Till next time....
