Introduction

Happy December, everyone! I hope you're all enjoying the festive season so far. In this article, we'll be taking a look at some of the awesome and awful sales I had in November. I'll be highlighting the top-selling items, as well as discussing the struggles I faced with certain brands. So let's dive right in!

Awesome Sales on Poshmark

Redone 90s Low Slung Cropped Rigid Jeans

One of my best-selling items on Poshmark was a pair of Redone 90s Low Slung Cropped Rigid Jeans. These jeans, in a size 24 and new with tags, proved to be a hit among buyers. As a reseller, I usually hesitate to pick up smaller sizes, but these jeans proved me wrong. The Redone brand has been selling like hotcakes for me, and these jeans were no exception. With an average cost of goods of $23, I was able to sell them for $76, making a profit of $37.80.

Zimmerman Botanica Rouched Midi Dress

Another top-selling item was the Zimmerman Botanica Rouched Midi Dress. This dress, made of luxurious silk, is a popular brand that always performs well for me. Although I hadn't sold this brand in a while, this particular dress caught the attention of buyers. It was a size small and retailed for a whopping $1,166. I purchased it for $139 and ended up selling it for $300, making a profit of $101.

L'Agence Suede Moto Style Jacket

The L'Agence Suede Moto Style Jacket was another success story. I hadn't sold this brand in a while, but this jacket proved to be a hit with buyers. I acquired it for $23 from a liquidation box and sold it for $95. Despite sitting in my closet for a year and a half, it finally found its new owner, and I made a profit of $52.80.

Aqua Velvet Paper Bag Shorts

Not all sales were successful, and the Aqua Velvet Paper Bag Shorts were one of the disappointments. I had purchased these shorts for $12.30 from a liquidation box, but they ended up selling for a measly $9. With discounted shipping of $2.22, I incurred a loss of $8.27 on this sale.

Alice + Olivia Metallic Dress

Alice + Olivia used to be a reliable brand for me, but lately, sales have been sluggish. This metallic dress, which I purchased for $24.80, sold for just $40, resulting in a profit of $7.50. It's clear that the demand for this brand has declined, and I may need to reconsider sourcing it in the future.

Awesome Sales on eBay

Redone Original 9s High-Rise Loose Jeans

My top sales on eBay included the Redone Original 9s High-Rise Loose Jeans. These distressed jeans, in a size 26 and new with tags, proved to be a popular choice. I purchased them for $23 and sold them for $80, making a profit of $35.99.

Redone Midi 90s Stove Pipe Jeans

Another successful sale on eBay was the Redone Midi 90s Stove Pipe Jeans. These jeans, also in a size 26 and new with tags, were a hit among buyers. Purchased for $23, they sold for $65, resulting in a profit of $31.99.

R13 Trench Jacket

Unfortunately, not all sales on eBay were successful, and the R13 Trench Jacket was one of the disappointments. This white and gray jacket, which I purchased for $82, only sold for $100, resulting in a loss of $2.

Highlighted Brand: Commes Des Garçons

This month, one brand stood out as my top performer: Commes Des Garçons. Although the items from this brand may not resell for a substantial amount, their consistent sales volume makes them a worthwhile investment. With an average cost of goods ranging from $5 to $13, I have been able to sell these items quickly, recouping my investment. Commes Des Garçons is a highly underrated brand that resellers should keep an eye out for.

Awesome Sale on Etsy

Alongside my Poshmark and eBay sales, I also experienced success on Etsy with my made-to-order mug business and print-on-demand items. Over the past 30 days, I have received 14,830 views on my listings, made 280 orders, and generated revenue of $483.40. My Etsy business has been a great addition to my reselling ventures, and I couldn't have achieved this success without the help of Vendue. Their inventory management system and cross-listing software have streamlined my business operations, allowing me to focus on delivering excellent products and service to my customers.

Awful Sales

Not every sale was a success, and I encountered a few disappointing sales in November. Burberry Classic Checked Scarves, a brand that usually flies off the shelves, didn't perform as well as I had hoped. Despite their popularity, I struggled to make a profit, often losing money due to higher purchase prices. Similarly, Theory coats, Aqua Velvet Paper Bag Shorts, Stuart Weitzman Lowland Boots, and Free People items didn't fare well in terms of profit margins. These sales taught me valuable lessons about sourcing and prioritizing brands based on their current demand.

Conclusion

November brought both awesome and awful sales experiences. I was delighted with the success of certain brands like Redone, Zimmerman, and L'Agence, while facing challenges with Burberry, Theory, and Free People. It's important in the reselling business to adapt and learn from each experience, continuously striving to optimize sales and identify trending brands. With the right strategies and tools, such as Vendue's inventory management and cross-listing software, resellers can make the most of their businesses and achieve excellent results.
