I recently discovered a website/app that I absolutely adore and while my shopping habit has not improved any with its use, my pocketbook afterwards certainly has!
I’ve always been a fan of a good deal, and I LOVE finding awesome pre-owned stuff in great shape at a fraction of the cost (plus you can find some styles and designs that are no longer in production!) – enter Mercari. I LOVE this app, and I kind of stumbled upon it a few months back by accident on one of my planner Facebook groups, believe it or not!
So I started browsing around, and found an insane amount of the things I love at some pretty great bargain prices! Not only that, but take the variety and selection of eBay, take out the auction format, keep the MAKE AN OFFER function, and you have online pre-loved selling at its best!
I’ve collected quite a few Patricia Nash purses for my collection, and lately picked up a couple of Dooney and Bourke that are on their way to me now (I seriously have no shame over here in my bag addiction). I’ve also found some awesome planner supplies, etc. but my current favorite purchase are these adorable Ugg boots!
After my first experience with the Uggs my hubby purchased for me, I wanted something in a short boot that I could slip on that would fit underneath my jeans cuff, because as much as I love my tall Uggs, I think they look a little weird unless worn with leggings, and although my, um, assets look great in jean leggings, there’s no pockets. And if you’re a REAL MOM like me, you need pockets. If you have to ask why, you must not have kids.
After saving a search on Mercari for exactly what I wanted I ran across these puppies! Exactly what I was looking for, BRAND NEW, still had the stickers on the bottom. Less than half the price new AND free shipping. Boom. Done! I love them!
I’ve also started to take advantage of the selling side of Mercari, and I’ve sold some purses and whatnot at really good prices. The selling end is super easy! Once the transaction is done, they email you the shipping label all ready to go! All you have to do is pack your item, slap that label on it, and drop it off! Too easy!
I know this seems like a kind of sales-pitchy post, and I guess it kind of is in a way, but I really love this site, and ACTUALLY recommend it to my friends, so I thought I’d recommend it here too!
Try it out, and if you get over there using this link, you’ll get $10 to spend on your first purchase (and I get $2, so thanks for helping finance my bag addiction y’all! LOL)
