- eBay Curriculum Reseller
- ~$5,000 revenue from first two pallets
📝 From a recent interview with Mindy, stay-at-home mom of 4 in rural Washington…
Her husband was browsing GovDeals.com for gym equipment. Mindy spotted some book pallets listed and bid $1 on a whim.
Won two. Total cost: $2.26.
She photographs the books, feeds the images to ChatGPT, and it identifies titles, authors, and reading levels – even from blurry pallet photos.
Then it creates bundles, writes eBay listings, and generates pick lists.
It’s my $20/month assistant.
The moneymaker: homeschool curriculum sets. Not picture books, not chapter books. Curriculum accounts for 98% of her sales 👇
She’s one of only 3 sellers for some of these sets on all of eBay.
🤑 Revenue from those first two pallets: ~$5K in 2 months.
After eBay fees (~15%) and shipping (~15%), roughly $3K profit.
- Average sale: $45
- Range: $15 to $400 per listing
- 11 pallets bought total – never lost money on one
School purchasing managers have started reaching out offering 50+ pallets for free.
You could start without spending anything: post on FB Marketplace asking for free textbooks, sort with ChatGPT, and list on eBay 😎
