What Sold Last Week: Real Reselling Results ($1,761 in Sales)
One of the questions I get asked most often is:
“What actually sells when you’re reselling?”
Instead of theory, here are real results.
Last week, I sold 21 items for a total of $1,761, sourced from a mix of estate sales and online auctions. This breakdown shows exactly what sold, where it was sourced, and why this matters if you’re building or scaling a reselling side hustle.
If you want proof that reselling works across many categories — this is it.
Quick Breakdown: Where the Inventory Came From
- Estate Sale Purchases (E): Majority of items
- Online Purchases (O): Select specialty and niche items
This combination allows for:
- Lower cost of goods (estate sales)
- Strategic niche sourcing (online)
- Consistent weekly sales without relying on one source

Key Takeaways From This Week’s Sales
✅ Reselling Works Across Many Categories
You don’t need to niche down immediately. Electronics, tools, shoes, media, and home items can all coexist in one store.
✅ Estate Sales Still Dominate for Value
Most of the higher-margin items came from estate sales, proving they remain one of the best sourcing options for resellers.
✅ Online Sourcing Fills Strategic Gaps
Online purchases work well for:
- Specialty parts
- Hard-to-find components
- Items you can’t source locally
✅ Condition Isn’t Everything — Clarity Is
Several items sold with notes like “untested” or “read description”. Honest listings reduce returns and still attract buyers.
Final Thoughts: This Is What Real Reselling Looks Like
