I posted this fall about how sometimes you have to take a leap of faith.
You can see that post here.
I thought you might like an update on how sales have been going.
I found leotards several more times after the first time, and I ended up with 357 mostly thong leotards in various colors and styles, all in size large.
I don't think there has been a week since then that I haven't sold at least one.
I did an inventory yesterday and I have only 73 left! I started out pricing them at $18.95 with best offer, and after a few days of so many sales decided to up the price to $24.95, and decided I would accept any best offers of at least $18.95.
Original total spent on all of the leotards $714.
Total sold so far (I just averaged the sale price to be $20, since I've sold some at 18.95, but most at $24.95) $5680
profit so far $4966 and I still have 73 left. Most of them all solid black, which have been the slowest selling ones, so in a few more weeks I might lower the price on them a little bit.
Sometimes you do have to take a leap of faith and trust your instincts.
