The Welcome Circle

06/12/2026

We’re waiting on the arrival of my son and daughter in law to be and I was able to get some listing done.

I planned ahead and have a bunch of drafts saved, so I can just list them during down times this weekend.

My favorite is that rag doll from Italy, which is yours?

Here’s what sold yesterday!

I finally had a sale on Mercari after a long dry spell—nice to see some movement there again!

We’re also hoping for some good news today. My son and his fiancée were supposed to visit this weekend, but their flight was canceled last night. They’re trying to fly standby, so we’re still waiting to see if they’ll make it out today 😟
Fingers crossed they can get here—we’ve been looking forward to their visit!

Have a wonderful weekend, everyone 💕

Two Poshmark sales yesterday! 🎉

Not a huge sales day, but I’m grateful for every customer and every package heading out the door.

What’s interesting is that I’m still selling a mix of summer and winter items almost every day. It just goes to show that when the right buyer comes along, the season doesn’t always matter!

How were your sales yesterday? Let me know in the comments 👇

My Savers pulls all the Lululemon and Patagonia and puts it on a special rack up front with premium pricing. 😳

At those prices, there’s just not enough room left for profit. As a reseller, I need a healthy margin, and these numbers make it tough.

What’s your move when you see this?

💰 Buying because the brands still sell well?
🚶 Passing and waiting for a better opportunity?

I’d love to hear how other resellers handle these “boutique-priced thrift store” finds! 👇

I took a bag of inventory to Plato’s Closet yesterday to see what they’d buy for resale.

Here’s how it worked out:

📦 32 items taken in
💰 Cost: $16.53 ($1.79/lb from the Goodwill Outlet)
✅ 18 items accepted
💵 Total payout: $63.78
💲Total profit: $47.25 ($2.62 each)

Even when I bring brands I know they carry, I never really know what they’re going to take. It always feels a little unpredictable!

I’ll probably give some of the rejected items another shot on a future visit. The rest will be headed to Vinted at $5 each to see if I can move them quickly and turn them into cash. I will actually make more profit here, but it’s more of a time investment.

Do you use buy/sell/trade stores as part of your reselling business? I’d love to hear your experience! 👇
