Reasons To Get Involved With Online Buying And Selling

At least give it a try!

5
Reasons To Get Involved With Online Buying And Selling

1. You have room for more

Deciding what you wear and what you don't need becomes a lot easier because you get a profit from what you decide to sell. Making it much easier to fit more into your closet.

2. No need to use your hard earned money for new items

With the profit you make from selling your old unwanted items, you can purchase new items that you will get much more use out of.

3. You do not need to bring your clothes to a shop that will buy them for much less

Such as Plato's Closet, where you will get 75 cents for a shirt that is new with tags still attached that say $180 (yes that did happen to me).

4. You will make new friends

I have several different shopping apps on my phone, Mercari, Poshmark, Tradesy, Wanelo, and many more! The relationships I have made with some of the sellers are very strong and I continue to buy from them because I know the items will arrive in wonderful condition everytime!

5. Expensive brands for less

You quickly learn the deals and what is worth the buy and how quickly you need to buy before someone else. I have found brand new $400 purses for around $50!

6. You can shop whenever, wherever

You connect with others around the world at anytime! Say you work nights, so you sleep in the daytime. On your days off you can still shop when you're the only one up at 2-5 AM! In bed, on the train, in the coffee shop, even while you're driving! (Please, don't do that though, it is illegal).

7. You become familiar with the brands you like, and your sizes

Have you ever been asked by someone in a store, "can you please check my tag and see what size I am in jeans." It happens often to me, (mainly when I'm with my mom haha). I know exactly what size I am in almost everything, and I can refine my searches to my sizing so if I see something I like, I know I am not looking at something I can't have, because that's always a let down!

8. It's a free job

You do not need to fill out an application, or be a male, female, or any specific race. Everyone is accepted and everyone has a free chance to earn money!

There are many, many more reasons why you should online shop! Start downloading the apps, and at least give it a try! :)

I've been super busy lately with school work, studying, etc. Besides the fact that I do nothing but AP chemistry and AP economics, I constantly think of stupid questions that are almost impossible to answer. So, maybe you could answer them for me, and if not then we can both wonder what the answers to these 15 questions could be.

To My Loving Boyfriend,

  • Thank you for all that you do for me
  • Thank you for working through disagreements with me
  • Thank you for always supporting me
  • I appreciate you more than words can express
  • You have helped me grow and become a better person
  • I can't wait to see where life takes us next
  • I promise to cherish every moment with you
  • Thank you for being my best friend and confidante
  • I love you and everything you do

To start off, here's something I don't say nearly enough: thank you. Thank you, thank you, thank you from the bottom of my heart. You do so much for me that I can't even put into words how much I appreciate everything you do - and have done - for me over the course of our relationship so far. While every couple has their fair share of tiffs and disagreements, thank you for getting through all of them with me and making us a better couple at the other end. With any argument, we don't just throw in the towel and say we're done, but we work towards a solution that puts us in a greater place each day. Thank you for always working with me and never giving up on us.

Ah, yes, good old Hauppauge. We are that town in the dead center of Long Island that barely anyone knows how to pronounce unless they're from the town itself or live in a nearby area. Hauppauge is home to people of all kinds. We always have new families joining the community but honestly, the majority of the town is filled with people who never leave (high school alumni) and elders who have raised their kids here. Around the town, there are some just some landmarks and places that only the people of Hauppauge will ever understand the importance or even the annoyance of.
