this post could also be titled- What did I do?
Either I hit pay dirt today, or I just wasted alot of money. I'm really hoping its the first scenario!
I visted the local Gdub in my town on the way to a well baby check up. I was cruising quickly thru the Halloween costumes when I happened upon several hundred NWT excercise/ work out wear items. I had purchased a few of them this summer and had really good results. Since they were in the Halloween section they qualified for my club blue Halloween Costume 2 day Discount. I ended up grabbing two carts and loading up and I even left a few behind. I now have approximately 200 excercise work out wear items to list. I think it will go fast, as there are several of the same design, just different sizes. I am hoping for nice weather tomorrow so I can sort them out on the driveway and figure out exactly what I have. I paid $1.00-$2.00 a piece and expect to sell them for $18-$39 a piece.
So I am now either $400 in the hole or I am about to sell over $4000 dollars. Sometimes you just have to take a leap of faith.
How about you, have you ever taken a leap of faith?

I think you'll do really well with these in January when everyone is making New Year's resolutions.
ReplyDeleteSounds like an awesome find! I wrote a blogpost recently about finding things to sell in the halloween rack other than costumes. You hit the mother load!
