#Make Money Reselling

[flamboyant-king]

i put pokemon card mystery packs on my etsy just now. just a stack of bulk from my year of collecting pokemon cards. i'll be turning in a bunch of bulk to the card shops, but I thought wouldnt it be fun to make my own mystery packs? i always loved goodie bags, grab bags, blind bags, and gacha. its a thrill of opening something and getting something unexpected more than the items themselves.

altho getting a $100 card is pretty neat. Here's the link if you're interested~ https://www.etsy.com/listing/1717302949/pokemon-tcg-bulk-mystery-goodie-pack-of

#full transparency there wont be any cards THAT rare in my mystery packs. just bulk some holos a neat button pin and a random figure #i bought a whole pack of pokemon figures and i've been giving them to my friends because theyre so funny #so the mystery pack will include those. also a hichew candy cause i like those and i have a lot haha #idk something for kids #this one card shop i go to has pokemon mystery boxes for 10-20 bucks that has cards and party goodies #so its kinda like that. a small treat to throw at a child. like WHAM merry birthday jimmy #each card is hand picked i didnt want to have too many cards from the same set in one pack. variety ya know #this other card shop i go to i get these mystery packs and theyre like all pokemon go and i got upset #i still buy those sets. speaking of i think ill pass by the shop today and sell a stack of bulk #i have...a lot of bulk my dude. i opened so many packs i gotta get some money back #i have cards rare enough to make all that money back but i wanna do it the fun way. with mystery packs and negotiation ahhha #so the cards are in rainbow order #i got a carpack for 6.99 at cvs of 10-15 cards. reselling. and i was like. this is lame but its a good lesson #also at target 30 cards also for 6.99 just as lame #mine will be better. mine is rainbow order with a toy and candy because i am better than grown men

both a benefit and the biggest flaw of photography is that if you make a print that is essentially just an original. Which is great that you can reproduce your work infinitely at its maximum quality and everyone can have access to it. However, big artists just aren't going to release affordable prints of their work because of this exact same thing. Theres a lot of painters and print makers you can find that sell affordable reproductions but almost no big name photographers have their work up for sale like that. Its all limited editions 1/100 sort of stuff and it all costs thousands of dollars per print. I get it, art is expensive and we need money to survive but as a photographer myself it sucks so bad that i can't afford prints of my biggest inspirations work even though it would be so easy to set up for them.

#the valueing of art annoys me so much #i feel like in the long run you would make more money off small print sales like $50-100 per print even over selling a handful of $3000-500 #prints to a couple very rich collectors #and your work would go up in the homes of many people instead of most likley sitting in a storage container of some rich guy while he waits #for the price to raise to resell it #or it sits in a bland white mcmansion

mannn what the hell the new lps are on the target website now so i was thinking about just ordering them there since target seems to be the main place people in the us are finding them and the only one anywhere near me still doesnt have them and even if they did i cant go right now for various reasons. but they literally refuse to sell them to you online unless you spend 35 dollars or more? hello ive never seen an online store do anything like this before thats so weird

#looking into it i think they just do this with cheaper/smaller items in general but its still weird. #like i cant think of any logical reason for this other than just trying to make people spend more money ? #i guess 35 dollars isnt that much money but i wasnt really wanting or expecting to spend that much #especially when you have to pay for shipping and stuff on top of that which makes it even more expensive #because i was just planning on just getting a small set or a couple blind boxes or something for now and get more if i find them in person #maybe ill just wait... but im worried theyll never show up where i live or that resellers will beat me to them if they do... #because target is usually an only once every two weeks or so thing for me #its not super far but its nowhere near close enouhg for me to be able to check every couple days like some people can #sorry for basically liveblogging my crisis in trying to find these little animals

PSA on second hand shopping

more people need to shop at thrift stores, rummage sales, estate sales, consignment, flea markets, and the like. I don't care if you can afford new stuff, if you think it's dirty, if you don't feel like spending the time sifting through things you don't want. fast fashion and other quick moving industries are killing us.

so many thrift shops are begging people to buy more, and they have to stop taking donations for a while. a lot of rummage sale sellers will throw out what they don't sell by the end of the weekend, and they can negotiate and give you deals..

even if you don't want clothes, chances are you will find something you needed anyways, or find something you didn't know you needed. I promise you can find time in your hurried schedule to make a weekend out of rummage saling, and it's so much more fun then taking a minute to add a new shirt to your cart on amazon.

and while you're at it, set up a rummage sale of your own if you can, even in favor of listing it online. there's people in your community who will take a weekend to check it out, and those people are often in need of cheaper options for things like clothes, shoes, kitchenware, etc.

and please for the love of god if am item is still in working condition, use it as long as possible, or give it/sell it away if you must. do not throw away perfectly good items.

buying second hand saves the earth

#genuinely thrifting can be such a small action but every person who does it plays a part in helping the earth #the only issue i would have w people thrifting is resellers bc it promotes overconsumption and weakens community resources #definetly put your own community before you making money on the internet #sorry not sorry if thats a hot take #thrifting #second hand #eco goth #fashion #ecosystem #earth day #witchcraft #paganism #pagan #witchblr #witches of tumblr #spirituality #environment #climate crisis #shopping #fast fashion #climate change #sustainable fashion #global warming #overconsumption #greenhouse effect #pollution #landfill

looking at the akudrive perfumes again today and 1. why are they all bergamot based. is bergamot and pepper just the cyberpunk scent???? 2. what is with the character choices. cutthroat, courier and hacker???? why not swindler

#akudama drive #you just know they weren't brave enough to make a sniper perfume #I kinda want the funeral scented cutthroat perfume #just to know what it would smell like #but reading the notes #tbh I think I'd actually hate it #and then it'd be a probably $200 waste #assuming I could even find a reseller that ships here #I think I'd enjoy the green tea one though #which would probably only be $100 total assuming that listing is still up by the time I have money #both versions of the bottle seem really fucking generic and boring though #like for expensive merch I'd want a cool bottle #portals perfume style except a really ugly statue of cutthroat's head 😍 #anyways though. I guess I'll get the green tea one if possible #and sadly never know what a funeral smells like #I just. don't want to spend that much money and effort on a perfume I'd probably hate the smell of #I just hate florals and wood scents like that #I like more sweet or gourmand stuff

this may be controversial but i think maybe there are people on flight rising who should be banned from purchasing skins ever again until they can learn to stop reselling them at 5-10 times the original price

#i've been here for 9 years and i don't care if it's like the culture or whatever it's a culture that sucks #i get kinda tired of skins that sold for like 850g or whatever being flipped for 3-5 times the price and sometimes even higher #i've blocked people for this in the past because i'll check listings often and see the same people consistently flipping skins #that i know for an absolute fact they JUST bought within the week #i've even seen my own--unlimited--skins being resold for 3 times the price #and i think the fact that getting new stock to shift is part of the issue here #you need to spend money to make money and if your prints aren't selling then they're not worth reprinting #so everyone takes advantage of this by reselling low availability skins for a huge markup because the original artist can't contest #it's beyond frustrating and i have to wonder if other artists or shoppers feel this way

hi love

School starts in almost two weeks. I need new clothes, but I can't ask my parents so I don't know how.unfortunately this summer I didn't do anything and I didn't look for a job and now I regret it a lot, because I don't know how to do it, I can't afford anything I want. what can i do in your opinion? (if that's a way) Maybe I was also thinking of a job to do during school too, but I don't know what and, if there was, I don't know if I'd make it over time .

Hi love! Well, if you've grown out of your clothes or they're too worn in to wear to school, your parents are essentially obligated to properly clothe you. However, if you want new clothes as a way to update your closet for the new school year (still me to this day at 25, lol), I would suggest asking your parents if you can do a few odd jobs around the house/make some calls to schedule appointments, etc. for a little extra cash. You can also walk dogs, babysit, tutor, etc. if you want to incorporate a small side hustle into your schedule. If you're seeking a wardrobe refresh, also consider donating or reselling some of your old clothes, shoes, accessories, etc. on sites like Poshmark or eBay.

If you're purely seeking new clothes over the next couple of weeks, consider swapping some pieces with your friends to style them differently if they're around your size, have a similar sense of style, and will be diligent about properly washing/giving back your clothes after wearing them (had this issue so many times in high school, I know it's not always a great option for this reason).

Getting a job to earn a little extra money or learn the responsibilities of working in the "real world" is a great opportunity. However, it can be overwhelming when completing your studies. I would see if you could potentially work in a clothing store on the weekends or something similar, so you can earn a bit of cash and likely get a discount on some of the items you want.

Hope this helps xx

#i am close to tears - beware there is a rant about my life in the tags ahead so watch out - it's nothing VERY serious but it's... well #also this is literally about supernatural convention so it's not like a serious problem but it is a problem for me personally #so anyway last year when they announced misha for purgatory con 8 in dusseldorf i was like yes yes yes and i bought the tickets because: #1. i had a whole year to plan a trip 2. going to spn con was this little dream of mine because i've been in this fandom for years so #so i thought hey i deserve a little treat. i want to and deserve to go to a con and they just announced misha and i'd love to go #(and then they also announced jensen. and then jared too so like all 3 main guys will be there so !! a Treat !! yay!) and also Why Not #because it's in germany so it's the closest i would ever get a convention because i am from poland [*] no conventions here sorry #so i was like yeah the stars seem to have alligned yeah AND I BOUGHT THE TICKET. and the thing is SOLD OUT. and 3 main actor men are there #and a lot of mutuals that i'd finally love to meet maybe if they feel like it or whatever but i'd love to meet tumblr people so there's tha #and now. i just spent 3 hours after work looking for flights and everything. and. the conclusion. after 3 hours of looking at every possibl #way for me to get to Dusseldorf at the days of the con. well. the conclusion is i have no way to get there. and i am stuck. #and there are flights and they are not even that expensive. but the HOURS are horrible. i checked different airports and even looked at #flights to dortmund and i literally have no way to get there in a way that makes any sense... because arriving at 4pm on saturday is #too late. and the other option is being there at 8 am - cool - but i have no way of getting to the airport at 4 am. i'd have to take #additional day off from work (not an option). and i literally don't know what to do. it's almost 1 am and i should be happily asleep and i #am trying to solve this problem lmao because on one hand i really want to go and i want to figure out a way to get there 1. on time 2. in a #way that won't cost me 1/3 of my paycheck ; and on the other hand i just want to email the organizer to return the ticket or resell it to #someone because i know there will be someone who wants to go because the event is sold out #WHY DOES IT HAVE TO BE THIS HARD...... #AS I WRITE THIS I AM FULLY AWARE THIS IS SUCH A FIRST WORLD PROBLEM i know!!!!!! fully aware!!!! #but i just :(( really wanted to go :((( but i am slowly leaning towards the option of not going :((( because money and time :(( #and the kilometers between me and the con place :((((( #personal

turning on taylor and blaming her for things she had no say or control over solves nothing and takes the attention away from the actual monopoly that fucked you all over just to maximise profits on a tour that was gonna be record breaking anyway.

taylor doesn't handle the logistics for her tours, and even if she was deeply involved in the technicalities of tour she still has no control over how ticketmaster deals with its own logistics or an option to not work with them. even if she wanted to give her fans the best experience possible she still can't control what ticketmaster does, nor how presale is handled.

#at this point what do you expect her to do? take the tickets that people already bought to distribute them amongst fans? #like I don't think she can even say shit about what happened without risking making more people upset #y'all want to point blame? blame ticketmaster and blame tiktok swifties and influencers who were talking about how to make money reselling #blame resellers and scalpers #even blame taylor nation if you want #but i'm gonna have to side with miss swift on this one

fr is dcc insane or

#1- why are they posting that at 1am kst #2- why are they just straight up posting a blacklist and not a warning first #3- what the fuck do they mean people can't TRADE AND RESELL merch/albums/photocards they bought with their own money??? #I'm all up for stopping people from reselling stuff at stupid ass prices but also they wouldn't if people didn't buy it + if dcc fucking #reprinted the albums maybe people wouldn't have to buy them 2nd hand IDK JUST A THOUGHT? #they're gonna make me lose my sanity if it's fr EVERYTHING and not just stuff they've given out for free #jt

[aintmyjewelry]

after seeing the absolute shitshow that was selling tickets for the eras tour, you would think someone would've thought more about the merch sales.

#merch should either be limited like 2 pieces per person #or dont let the general public buy merch #im sorry to say that and i know that's not how concerts operate #but for something this high in demand.............. #ALSO we know eventually all the merch is gonna go online #like????? #thats how this works #maybe they leave behind one or two pieces but for the most part #by the time of the end of the tour #its gonna be online #i get that resellers are trying to get ahead of that and make their money now but #it seems ridiculous

[sonknuxadow]

specifically wrote this about sonic figures/toys but i guess this can apply to toy collecting in general . since ive seen these problems in other toy collecting communities as well

#its very close but personally i think resellers are more annoying #because the people selling broken stuff for way more than its worth are usually selling something #that is still harder to find than newer stuff just because its old #but with resellers theres no reason that newer sonic figures should be hard to find for their original price #the only reason theyre harder to get is because of resellers ruining everything for everyone #and also a lot of the people selling older stuff are usually people who were actual fans at one point #who originally bought the item because they actually wanted it or its a childhood toy theyre trying to get rid of or something #meanwhile resellers just buy stuff with the sole motivation of trying to make money off of other people wanting it #the people in that first category are still annoying though . dont get me wrong . #like theres no reason to be selling a shitty figure missing an arm and a leg with marker all over it for like 70 dollars
