I’m so incredibly behind on posting. 😬 Here are some of my favorite sales over the past few months. Next to “custom label”, you can see how much I paid for the item. If only the date is listed next to “custom label”, I got it in a bulk lot. Some may not look like much of a profit, but when I buy in bulk, I’m spending about a quarter per item. 😉

If you are wanting to sell some vintage items, Etsy is the best platform for selling vintage BY FAR. Their fees are a little high, but just figure that into your price and you still make a great profit. Whatever you do, don’t throw out your old cleaning products, typewriters, clothespins, make up, perfumes, or bath and beauty products, even partially used…they sell like crazy! 😳 I’m going to try to document under some of the pictures a little story behind the sale later today. No time for that at the moment. 😉

I haven’t posted on this page in quite a while but I couldn’t pass up the chance to share this really cool find! It has motion effect, which makes the water appear to be flowing, and a built in speaker plays the sounds of rushing water and birds chirping. I’m not able to post both photos and videos in this post for some reason, so the video of the sound and motion effects will be in the first comment. It sold for $115 in less than 24 hours! I should’ve listed it for more! 😩 Anyone else remember these from the 70’s and 80’s?
