Thrifting to pay the bills

It is an extremely rewarding feeling when your business that started as a hobby turns into something that can provide for you. Life can be expensive and when you are able to use pure profits from something to completely cover a phone bill it’s amazing. It hardly feels like it is out of pocket like you suddenly have unaccounted for money that you wouldn’t otherwise have to spend, save, thrift or however you like to utilize it. Personally my husband and I lean more towards after thrifting Margaritas at Pepe’s. Couple weeks ago I had to go into the dentist because I had an impacted wisdom tooth was potentially going to really hurt the pocket book because it wasn’t really something we were expecting.  However we were able to cover our bill of 300 dollars with 1 single sale on Ebay. We sold the Sims3 game set on a bid and it skyrocketed enough to cover us. That was a really great deal, had this been before we were doing any of this we probably would have had to reschedule and save up the money or wait until it hit us on a certain paycheck. So the fact that we made that sale was able to move the funds over and pay for the bill and not sweat it was rewarding.  Here is what the ebay auction was that paid for my bill.

                It all started about a month ago, I came across a YouTube video by a guy called Raiken Profit who would thrift and resell. It wasn’t anything I had ever considered, but then I found myself watching video after video. It seemed within reach and doable, like most people any little bit of extra money that my husband and I could bring in would be a world of difference for my current situation. I probably sat and watched about 30 videos that day. Then every day after that I was completely obsessed with watching the videos I turned it into my job just trying to learn everything I possibly could. Finally my husband and I felt confident enough and we jumped in did our first thrift spent about 100 dollars on men’s clothing. We got some good stuff and we also got some stuff that was going to be near impossible to move. However once we started making sales and the first 4 items paid for our entire haul we were hooked. It’s been a lot of work and dedication and I have had to spend almost every day watching videos reading blogs searching completed listings. Just over a month later we have made about 1500 dollars. With that under our belt we are starting to really realize that we could probably make a go of this. It only made us jump in more and accumulate a bunch of stock, upgrade to an Ebay store, start really hitting social media hard, and networking.
