Adventures in thrifting income from the pay per pound Goodwill - Day 30.
We have arrived. The last day of the Goodwill Outlet thrifting experiment.
There were highs and there were lows, but we managed to score some awesome finds and make some sweet profit along the way.
Today was another day of quantity as there is too much to even fit in just one picture. No item stands out from the pack in terms of profit margin, but all are solid items. Check them out!
Today is April 16th and it is day 30. Let's see what I found this Monday.
I'm not keeping too much today. Those are Brooks Brothers pants with the tags still, but are dirty as they probably fell on the filthy floor at the Goodwill. They are my waist size, and about 3-4 inches too long. I can get them hemmed in a bit.
The other items I am keeping are some safety glasses, Easter egg dye pots, beginner advanced reading for children, and the shiny lid for . Oh, and the Red Alert manual for the nerd shelf.
Things for sale of note include:
- iRobot virtual wall device
- Corel Painter X Educational edition
- Three audio cassette sets for books by author Lois McMaster Bujold
- Tony Robbins "Get The Edge" CD set and "The New Money Masters"
- Two WACOM Digitizer II drawing pads
- Uniden submersible phone (only)
- Some old soda bottles, TOPP COLA, TAB, and Coke
- A crapton of prescription glasses
- Breadmaker pan
- Foot pedal with USB connection for dictation start/stop
- GE A/C remote control (big bucks as far as used remotes go)
Oh and check out these cool peacock cards that I will hand over to my wife to use as thank you cards. They are beautiful.
Sales!
I think it is a fitting end to sell something we picked up on the very first day today. That set of CCR records sold.
Three items from yesterday sold. Office for Mac, Adobe Photoshop Elements, and the car radar detector.
Also sold was the Chakra balancing book and CD set and some ink.
Not pictured is the 6 CD set of music samples. It sold just after midnight last night and I packed them up to get them headed out to the buyer.
Oh, and that huge lot of 223 golf balls sold for $90.99 in total. I paid $10 for it. Shipping was up in the high $20's though. I actually had to split it into two different boxes. Haven't done that in awhile.
Day 30 Totals
Total Spent Today: $26.34
Running Total Spent: $463.88
Total Listed Price Today: $395.74
Running Total Listed Price: $6420.51
Total Sales: $2186.20
Total Profit: $1300.78
That's an average profit of $43.36 per day for 30 days. That total will continue to go up and the only work required will be to pack it up and drop it off.
As always, tomorrow is a new day and a new thrift! Oh, wait. This is over now. Disregard.
I will give you a rundown of how much I continue to earn as the sales trickle in. Not many things are better than that "Cha-Ching!" sound that the eBay app gives you.
