🚨38 Week Recap Days 1–266 📦Total sales: $139,004.41 💰eBay earnings: $77,041.47 🧾Buy cost (COG): $22,136.26 📈Net profit: $54,905.21 🚀ROI: 248% That's roughly $206 in net profit per day for 266 straight days. Started from scratch buying liquidation & customer returns at local auctions. No niche. No course. No big operation. Just sourcing, researching, listing, shipping, making mistakes, & getting a little better at buying decisions every day. No single category carried this. Most items weren't home runs. They were just bought well enough that the overall business works. You don't need perfect inventory or every flip to be a massive win. You need consistent access to underpriced goods, the discipline to protect margins, & the commitment to keep listing. Still learning. Still building. On to week 39!

Day 276 Total sales: $39.99 eBay earnings: $34.00 Buy cost (COG): $3.43 Net profit: $30.57 ROI: 891% Just 1 sale today. A refrigerator replacement part. Nothing exciting on the surface, but I paid $3.43 for it and cleared $30.57 after eBay expenses. This is why I don't overlook small items. Not every sale needs to bring in hundreds of dollars. Low cost inventory can produce worthwhile returns, & those sales add up over time. The key is knowing what something is worth before you buy it. 276 days in. Still learning. Still building. On to Day 277. 💪

Day 275 Total sales: $809.99 eBay earnings: $478.87 Buy cost (COG): $194.72 Net profit: $284.15 ROI: 145% 6 orders on the dashboard. 5 completed sales. 1 cancellation. 2 pool supplies sold today. That's something I've noticed with certain products. Once you've researched an item, understand its market, & know what it's worth, finding another one can be a lot easier. But I still have to run the numbers every time. A product selling once doesn't automatically make it a good buy the next time. Demand matters. Purchase price matters. Margin matters. 275 days in. Still learning. Still building. On to Day 276. 💪

Day 274 Total sales: $704.00 eBay earnings: $352.68 Buy cost (COG): $94.05 Net profit: $258.63 ROI: 275% 4 orders on the dashboard. 3 completed sales. 1 cancellation. Today was a mix of automotive parts, water filtration, & outdoor power equipment. 1 order was canceled before shipping, so the item stayed in inventory. That's part of reselling. Not every order turns into a completed transaction, & the sales total doesn't always tell the full story. I focus on what actually gets earned, what inventory actually costs, & what remains after everything is accounted for. Good decisions over time. That's the business. 274 days in. Still learning. Still building. On to Day 275. 💪

Day 273 Total sales: $550.00 eBay earnings: $88.03 Buy cost (COG): $22.94 Net profit: $65.09 ROI: 283% A strange day in the numbers. 4 orders showed up, but 2 canceled before shipping. That left 2 completed sales. The dashboard showed $550 in gross sales, but after expenses & refunds, only $88.03 in order earnings. This is why I pay attention to the money actually earned, not just the sales total. Gross sales look good on paper. Profit is what keeps the business going. 273 days in. Still learning. Still building. On to Day 274. 💪

Day 272 Total sales: $424.98 eBay earnings: $253.25 Buy cost (COG): $50.80 Net profit: $202.45 ROI: 398% 5 orders today. Printing supplies. Automotive parts. Truck accessories. Appliance parts. Construction materials. 5 different products. 5 different buyers. This is why I don't limit myself to 1 category. I would rather understand how to evaluate a wide range of products than depend on one market or one type of inventory. The process stays the same: Research the demand. Know your costs. Buy with enough room for profit. 272 days in. Still learning. Still building. On to Day 273. 💪

Traveling this week & put the eBay store on time away. Sales have been noticeably slower since. Is this normal for other sellers when you pause or leave the store unattended for a few days? Do numbers usually bounce back once you’re home & listing again, or does it take a bit to regain momentum? Curious what your experience has been. #Reselling #eBay #BuildInPublic

Day 271 Total sales: $1,379.95 eBay earnings: $1,009.89 Buy cost (COG): $280.82 Net profit: $729.07 ROI: 259% 7 orders today. Printer supplies. Pool equipment. Heating system parts. A medical device. Access control equipment. Truck accessories. 1 thing I love about this business is how unpredictable the inventory can be. I never know what category will produce the next sale. I just keep looking for products with demand, research the numbers, & make sure there's enough margin before buying. You don't have to know everything about every product. But you do have to be willing to learn before you put your money into it. 271 days in. Still learning. Still building. On to Day 272. 💪

64 days of carnivore. 35 pounds down. Official final update. When I started, I had no idea what 64 days would look like. At 30 days: 20 pounds down. At 43 days: 27 pounds down. Today: 35 pounds down. And the biggest difference hasn't just been the number on the scale. I feel great. Energy has been consistently better. Cravings are way down. I'm not constantly thinking about food. I eat. I'm done. I move on. Meat. Butter. Eggs. Some cheese. Water. Black coffee. No energy drinks. No drive thru. No alcohol. No sugar. No gas station junk. No complicated meal plans. Just simple rules and consistency. I'm not saying this is the right approach for everyone. I'm sharing my own experience & what I've noticed over these 64 days. 64 days. 35 pounds. One commitment kept. Sometimes the hardest part isn't knowing what to do. It's actually following through. Officially closing out this chapter. Grateful I started. 🙏

Day 270. 📦 Total sales: $659.99 eBay earnings: $518.78 Buy cost (COG): $206.10 Net profit: $312.68 ROI: 151% 3 orders today. Residential water equipment Printer supplies Shipping & labeling equipment 1 thing I've learned after 270 days: The highest priced item isn't always the best buy, & the cheapest item isn't always the easiest sale. Every purchase needs its own math. How much am I paying? What does it actually sell for? What will I keep after fees & shipping? Is there enough room left to make it worthwhile? Today was a good reminder that protecting the margin matters more than chasing big sales numbers. 270 days in. Still learning. Still building. On to Day 271. 💪

Day 269 Total sales: $500.97 eBay earnings: $209.26 Buy cost (COG): $17.79 Net profit: $191.47 ROI: 1,076% 4 orders on the dashboard, but only 3 completed sales. 1 was canceled before shipping, so the item stayed in inventory. The other 3 were outdoor equipment & automotive parts. Something I keep reminding myself: Gross sales don't tell the whole story. Refunds, expenses, cancellations, & inventory costs all matter. A business can look very different when you separate the money that came in from what you actually kept. Track the details. Make decisions based on the real numbers. 269 days in. Still learning. Still building. On to Day 270. 💪

🚨October recap 2nd biggest sales month so far! 📦Total sales: $23,901.63 💰eBay earnings: $13,600.01 And a whole lot of lessons along the way. October wasn't perfect. I made mistakes. I had some bad buys. I dealt with refunds that took a meaningful bite out of my earnings. Could the numbers have been higher? Absolutely. But that's part of building a business. You don't get better by getting everything right. You get better by recognizing where you went wrong, learning from it, & making better decisions next time. I started this from scratch buying customer returns & liquidation inventory at local auctions. Today, it's still just one person buying from local auctions and returns, listing every day, & compounding the singles. No big operation. No special connections. Just learning one purchase, one listing, & one sale at a time. And now I'm looking back at my second biggest sales month. Feeling incredibly blessed. And genuinely grateful for everyone who's followed along, supported the journey, shared advice, or simply taken the time to read my posts. I'm not finished learning. I'm not finished building. November is next. Let's keep going.🚀📈

Day 268 Total sales: $578.98 eBay earnings: $425.47 Buy cost (COG): $103.25 Net profit: $322.22 ROI: 312% 5 orders today. 2 of them were the same product: pool equipment. That's something worth paying attention to. When you find an item with real demand & can source it at the right price, you don't necessarily need to find something completely different every time. Sometimes the opportunity is buying another one of something that already works. The trick is knowing the market, understanding the margin, & not getting carried away just because something sold once. 268 days in. Still learning. Still building. On to Day 269. 💪

Day 267 Total sales: $279.99 eBay earnings: $209.02 Buy cost (COG): $51.27 Net profit: $157.75 ROI: 308% 3 orders today. An automotive part. Printer supplies. A heater. 3 completely different products serving 3 different buyers. This is the part most people miss when they first look at reselling. You don't need one product that sells thousands of units. You can keep finding individual items with enough margin, buy them right, & let the smaller transactions stack. Not every day is a $1,000 day. Most aren't. But 267 days of these still add up. Still learning. Still building. On to Day 268. 💪

Day 266 Total sales: $329.99 eBay earnings: $138.28 Buy cost (COG): $19.23 Net profit: $119.05 ROI: 619% Only 3 orders today. Pool equipment, boating toy, off road accessories. Not every day is going to have a dozen orders. Not every day is going to produce a big profit. But I don't need every day to be exceptional. I need to keep sourcing carefully, price inventory realistically, ship what sells, & avoid letting one slow day change the process. Consistency is built on the days nobody would call exciting. 266 days in. Still at it. On to Day 267. 💪

Retailers get flooded with returns every single day. Most of that stuff never hits the shelf again. It gets bundled up, liquidated, & sold off for a fraction of what it originally cost. And a lot of it ends up available right in your city. Most people have no idea these local spots exist. Drop your city below & I’ll send you the ones near you.

Not every flip is a win. And I think it's important to show that side of reselling, too. This was the biggest amount I've ever spent on a single item since starting. My all in cost: $477.41. I took the risk because the potential upside was worth it. Sold it on eBay for $1,420. Bought it & sold it in less than a week. Then things went wrong. When the item arrived, the customer discovered damage. They asked for an $850 refund. I gave them $900. Not because I had to. Because if I were the buyer & the item arrived damaged, that’s how I’d want it handled. I’d rather be known as the seller who makes it right than the one who argues over $50. Here's where the numbers ended up: Original sale: $1,420 Refund: $900 Final eBay earnings: $354.39 Original cost: $477.41 Net result: -$123.02. I don't look at it as a loss. I look at it as tuition. The margin on the rest of the business still covers these lessons. I share the big flips. I share the good weeks. I share the wins. I also want to show the mistakes, the risks, & the lessons. The goal isn't to avoid every mistake. It's to handle them in a way that keeps customers happy & keeps the long term math working. You can't build a business buying liquidation & customer returns without things going wrong. Learn from it. Treat people fairly. Make better decisions next time.

Day 265 Total sales: $383.97 eBay earnings: $154.85 Buy cost (COG): $17.72 Net profit: $137.13 ROI: 773% Not every order makes it to the finish line. 2 orders were canceled before shipping today. Both items stayed in inventory, so there was no reason to count them as a loss. That's an important part of tracking a reselling business correctly. A sale isn't automatically a completed sale. A cancellation isn't automatically a loss. And revenue isn't the same as profit. I track what actually happened, account for the costs, & keep moving. The numbers only mean something if you're honest about how you calculate them. 265 days in. Still learning. Still building.

Another $10 auction flip. ($14.68 after tax & fees) Sold it on eBay for $215. After fees + shipping: 💰 $172.24 earned 📈 $157.56 profit 🔥 1,073% ROI This is what I do week after week. I don’t need one category. I don’t need one perfect product. Because when you examine enough inventory, the spreads start finding you. Auctions are happening all over the country every day. Buy for pennies on the dollar. Resell on eBay or Facebook Marketplace. No niche required. Just the habit of looking.
