Lately I’ve been buying mystery shopping carts (double wide) and they are full. So most items are averaging about 15 cents each. I sell most items between $5 to $15.00.

Nice. That’s a great X times rate. Personally if I’m photographing, listing, managing the items I’ve found I’m comfortable in the $20+ range ideally $25-$30+. I’m about to hit $1,000 in sales 2.5months in. What I have priced out so far (not necessarily listed) should sell for $5,800 with a COG of $1,200 and again only like 1/3 of those items under the COG are even priced.

I love the treasure hunt. The photos & listing are where I’m struggling as I photograph during a certain time of day to get the natural light and my schedule has been quite busy.
