Had my first sale on Mercari the other day and I felt like I just a big milestone. First time I’ve ever sold anything of mine to anyone, let alone to a stranger in another state! I had a Funko Pop listed on there that was just collecting dust so I thought I’d give it a shot and list it. It took a few days but I finally got someone to buy it. It helps that I knocked off $9 off of the price listed on the Pop Price Guide. Mercari takes a 10% fee, and then there’s the shipping cost, but after all of that I still made a decent profit so it worked out.
I wish I checked out Mercari back when I heard about it in 2016 or 2017. There was a salary man I used to follow on Twitter from Japan that would often post about it (interesting story: this salary man eventually caused me to delete my profile after he harmlessly asked if I was “(first name last name)” somehow finding out my identity). I didn’t think it had a US equivalent at the time, and if it did I just hadn’t heard about it. Nowadays I get a lot of ads about “Mercari, the selling app” on Hulu though. I already use the app, no need to convince me any further!
