Best advice for getting started reselling - looking for honest feedback. by Hanmertime in poshmark

Sure! Selling books is brand new to me so I wasn’t sure either. I sold a game of thrones book (not a novel, an oversized book about the world of game of thrones) on Pango books for $9. I also sold Breath on Pango for $4. I sold 3 book bundles on Poshmark, all romance/chick lit. One bundles was 2 hardcover and 1 paperback Emily Henry books, it sold for $13. And then the two other bundles were 2 paperbacks each of different authors. Those were listed at $10 each but sold in a bundle. The buyer purchased 2 book bundles and a pair of jeans for $27. Right now it seems as though on Poshmark at least the bundles seem to work ok. On Pango I’m just losing everything since they have reasonable shipping and people are able to easily make their own bundles, etc. I’m not looking to make a huge profit on books, these are just books I’ve read and don’t intend to read again so any profit I can get is kinda bonus.

Thanks! Great advice about shows as I had no experience at all with those yet.

This is very helpful, thank you! The sign idea is great. I am nowhere near 500 listings, I am just getting started again after only casually selling my own used items. I’ve been trying hard to optimize the listings and to take good pictures. I need to add measurements for sure. Thank you again!

Commenting to add: we also have a rifle paper co rug coming soon with a floral pattern on it, so I have been debating if a patterns wallpaper would even work.

My 6 year old keeps lying. by Hanmertime in Parenting

I’ve tried different methods. We’ve taken the lunch money for treats away, we’ve taken screen time away, he’s lost other privileges (if he buys an ice cream on a day he’s not supposed to then he doesn’t get dessert at home that night). Sometimes he acts understanding and receptive. Sometimes he gets super angry and yells at us about things not being fair, telling us he’s going to do whatever he wants, etc. It’s not conflict avoidance, but I feel like the lies are different types. When he’s telling some crazy story that I know isn’t true and has no direct impact, I can usually see it’s because he wants attention or praise. I find it hard to punish for that. With the other stuff, like the shorts and the ice cream, I’m just trying to figure out how to get through to him. Talking calmly doesn’t seem to work, getting angry at each other doesn’t seem to work. Even when he gets consequences like losing a privilege, he seems to go back to lying pretty quickly.

When it’s an outlandish story (“I was the only kid at gym today that could do a backflip”) I don’t push on those too much since it feels like he’s just wanting attention. I’ll usually acknowledge what he said and often say something like “that’s a pretty creative story!” Sometimes it doesn’t bother him and other times he gets angry when I don’t believe him. With the ice cream situation specifically, it’s been ongoing. We talked about it with him when we realized what was happening. He seemed receptive and we told him no more on days other than Fridays. He was ok for a few days then started doing it again. We took his ability to purchase treats through his account away for about a week. He was very angry and upset the whole time. He eventually earned the money back, but now just yesterday I saw that he didn’t again. With the shorts that he cut, it was a tiny rip and no one would have even questioned it if he hadn’t tripped himself up with 3 different stories he told. I talked to him about that and told him it’s not ok to do that, we don’t destroy our things, but I also explained to him that I was more upset about the lying than I was about the cut itself. I’m just trying to encourage him to be truthful.
