Selling Vintage Treasures: A Look into My Online Reselling Business

In this article, I want to take you on a journey through my online reselling business. As a full-time reseller on eBay, Poshmark, Etsy, and Facebook Marketplace, I have quit my nursing career to dedicate my time and effort to selling vintage items and collectibles. Every Monday, I share my weekly sales and provide insights into what items are selling well and what to look out for when sourcing inventory. So, let's dive into some of the recent sales and explore the world of vintage treasures.

Introduction

Before we delve into the details of my recent sales, let me introduce myself. I'm Kat, also known as "The Nurse Flipper". After leaving my nursing career in February, I embarked on a new path as a full-time reseller. Selling on various platforms like eBay, Poshmark, Etsy, and Facebook Marketplace has become my sole source of income. In this article, I will be sharing the highlights of my recent sales and giving you an inside look into my reselling journey.

Selling Platforms

As a reseller, it's essential to explore different selling platforms to reach a broader customer base. I have chosen to sell on eBay, Poshmark, Etsy, and Facebook Marketplace, each offering its unique advantages. While eBay caters to a wide range of buyers, Poshmark is popular for fashion and clothing items. Etsy attracts customers looking for vintage or handmade goods, and Facebook Marketplace serves as a local platform for quick sales. In the following sections, I will share the recent sales I've made on each platform.

Recent Sales Overview

Let's dive into the exciting world of my recent sales. Over the weekend, I had an impressive total of almost thirteen hundred dollars in sales on eBay alone. The other platforms, including Poshmark, Etsy, and Facebook Marketplace, collectively brought in a hundred dollars each. In this article, I will go into detail about some of the unique items that caught the attention of buyers. From vintage collectibles to clothing and accessories, my sales cover a wide range of items.

Selling Wedgewood Strawberries

One of the standout items in my recent sales is a little Wedgewood vase featuring a strawberries pattern. While this may not be the traditional Wedgewood jasperware, it still attracted buyers. I acquired this vase as part of a box lot from an online auction, paying less than a dollar for it. Surprisingly, it sold for $9.94, and with the buyer covering the $10 shipping fee, I estimate a profit of around $7 to $8. This sale showcases the potential of finding unique Wedgewood pieces beyond the well-known designs.

Harley Davidson Pens

Another category of items that brought in substantial sales is the collection of Harley Davidson pens. I managed to acquire 600 of these pens from an online auction for around $600, averaging a dollar per pen. The pens have been selling quickly on multiple platforms, bringing in consistent profits. For example, one particular pen featuring American flags and the genuine Harley Davidson brand sold for $19, resulting in a profit of approximately $15. These pens are incredibly easy to ship, fitting in small padded envelopes.

Lily by Fermi Anna Shirt

Every now and then, I come across unique clothing items with excellent resale value. One such find was a Lily by Fermi Anna shirt, similar in style to Lularoe clothing. This shirt is made of slinky fabric and features a vibrant pattern. I found it at a garage sale for only a dollar, and after waiting for about five to six months, it sold for $15.59. This translates to a profit of around $12, a great return on my initial investment.

Unique Vintage Finds

As a reseller, finding unique vintage items is always a thrill, and these finds often fetch impressive prices. Recently, I sold a vintage Harley Davidson pen adorned with a claw design for $19.49, securing a profit of approximately $15. Vintage items like these pens can yield significant returns, especially when priced appropriately. Additionally, I came across a vintage nightgown and robe set bearing the Vassaret brand tag. Purchased at a thrift store for only a dollar, it sold for $25.99, proving that vintage sleepwear can be a profitable niche.

Profitable Harley Davidson Pins

Continuing with the trend of Harley Davidson items, a series of Harley Davidson pens turned out to be incredibly profitable. These pens, featuring different designs like skulls, flaming wings, and gas tank shapes, sold for prices ranging from $14.62 to $16.24. With an average profit margin of $12 to $14 on each pen, the collection of Harley Davidson pens proved to be a smart investment. Offering ease of shipping and high demand among collectors, these pens are a consistent source of profit in my reselling business.

Collectible Ornaments and Holiday Items

Often overlooked by many resellers, collectible ornaments and holiday items can bring in surprising profits. I have sold several vintage ornaments in recent weeks, with prices ranging from $11.50 to $28. The key is to source unique ornaments that resonate with collectors. Furthermore, vintage wreaths and other Christmas-themed decor pieces are in demand. These items can be sourced inexpensively and sold for prices well above their original cost.

Final Thoughts

In conclusion, my journey as a full-time reseller has been both exciting and profitable. In the past week, I have showcased a variety of items that sold successfully on platforms like eBay, Poshmark, Etsy, and Facebook Marketplace. From Wedgewood vases to Harley Davidson pens, each sale has contributed to my growing business. The key to success in reselling lies in careful sourcing, accurate pricing, and effective marketing.
