Gotta thrift it up! If you have a Goodwill Wholesale "bins" near you, go for a few hours and discover the endless stream of consumer waste availble for pennies a pound. There is real treasure in there. My wife calls it her "trash to sats pipeline" 🤣
Yeah, I need to be more diligent about hitting the thrift stores.
My wife bags over $5k a month reselling online now 🤯
It's a lucrative game if you have an eye for what to find. I don't really know anything about clothing brands, but I have a friend who makes his living off of reselling old collectible fashion stuff that people want that he finds for dollars thrifting and can resell for like 40-50 bucks a pop or more. It's a genuinely impressive hustle.
Yes, she nabs every top female brand that I barely know. The margin is like crack or robbery. Turn 30 cents into $30 and the customer is stoked! My son does it too full time. They both have a real eye for trends etc. It is work but one item often pays for the entire haul. For me I just dabble in the reselling of very specific things and have an endless fresh flow of quality pieces to choose from.
True, I’ve been listing on eBay all morning
What is wild is when an item is new with tags and still available online for several hundred dollars. You can't find margin like that anywhwere else.
You are exactly right at the beginning. I started selling on eBay in 1998 and I thought it would be so much easier to sell the same thing over and over again, but the margins are just pathetic. It’s so much better to find random things for nothing and sell them for everything.
If you guys ever wanna talk about this, I am an expert. I’ve been an antique vintage reseller for 27 years. I have been a power seller on eBay. I’ve owned my own markets. I also owned one of the few Vintage Clothing and jewelry markets in the country
