    Selling hats was definitely a very tough challenge. They have extremely high profit margins, but take a while to sell. You did really well in a week for sure 🙏

    You should compare with selling on an acct with positive feedback. I bet sales would improve. As a frequent buyer, I have to REALLY want an item and can't find it at all elsewhere for less than twice the price before I'd buy from a "0" account.

    You need a friend that is a hat appraiser. Get them appraised for $5000 each, donate all of them. Don't pay taxes that year. This is what the wealthy do with art.

    I was at a rural thrift store and they had this giant tub of ties. I looked through them and many of them were vintage made in America silk ties. I decided to ask how much they wanted for all and they sold me the whole bundle for $10. It’s almost 200 ties
    3 months later I have sold 2 of them. And they are priced very cheap since I only have pennies in them. I can’t move them. I’m not sore about it. I made my $10 back on the 2 I sold. It’s was just a failed endeavor lol

    How much did you pay for them? I feel like USED hats are something the majority of people would rather avoid, so i cant imagine them selling for $10, if you could make profit off $5 plus shipping then i feel like they would sell much quicker.

      Not a lot with just the hats, but this was just a fun challenge. I sell more profitable items as a primary income source. Plenty of people make plenty of money selling on eBay. This hat challenge though was not to display a full-time income, but more of an easy side hustle.
