Two ways I have been finding new items to sell:
looking at everything again before donating it or throwing it away- case in point, the garfield at the top of this post. I was going through all of my son's old clothes for the consignment sale and found this garfield shirt, but it had a hole right next to the embroidered design. I decided to take a chance and cut it out of the shirt, and listed it on Etsy for $14.95. It sold within 2 hours!
I have also been scanning pretty much every item that we buy to see if it's something that would sell well on Amazon. I figure if we use it at our house, other people do too. I've found about 5 products that my family buys weekly that resell well on Amazon.
i would have never thought to cut something out of a shirt. That's so great! and what's funny is it's probably more than you would have gotten for the shirt whole :D
ReplyDeleteGreat ideas!
ReplyDeleteWhat title did you give this item when you listed it on Etsy? It's such a great idea. I hate throwing away clothes when they have a stain especially when they're well made and with cute embroidered features. Thanks for sharing.
ReplyDeleteHi, thanks for your comment! I titled it Vintage Garfield Embroidered Embellishment. Let me know if you are able to sell something like this too!
