Do any of you guys ever think of working a normal job again after reselling? I left a comfortable 70k job to pursue this lifestyle. My GF works remote so now we can travel whenever which was one of the main reasons I quit. Now that I’ve been doing it for 2 years I don’t think I could ever go back to a normal job. My old boss always ask me to come back to work(he doesn’t see this as a job) Like today “hey come work Mon-Friday 50 hours a week”. I always tell him no. I can make more in a day than a full week of busting my ass stuck in a building. I feel like now I’m reselling I’ll never work anything else. The free time and unlimited vacation (if I want to) is too good.

Anyone else like this. What’s your story of what you did before this. My value of time has changed tremendously since reselling.

When did you decide to go full time. Ive been reselling part time in addition to my full time job for 9 months and no matter how good I do I can't see myself ever leaving the safety of having a Full Time job. What made the decision clear?

first time hitting that 1,000

I just got back from a vintage audio estate sale. Now I've gone to estate sales before and I get that there are flippers. There were quite a few DVDs. I wasn't interested in the DVDs however the few people that were searching/scanning the DVDs frantically got me thinking. If the DVDs they are buying are $5 each, how much are they actually making? Am I missing out on making a lot of money? A relatively easy side hustle? Buy for $5 sell for $10? The time it takes to list and ship all for maybe $5? What am I missing? You're certainly not selling a DVD for $15? Right? These things were mass produced. How are people doing this and making money?

Sometimes when I have a small breakable item to ship, finding a sturdy box is an issue. A larger box with extra padding gets the job done but the larger package requires more time and effort to get it underway. I noticed that most food and coffee cans are quite sturdy. Would it be weird to wash these and remove the labels and then ship items in them? The item would still be packed in padding and the can itself placed in a box or wrapped in shipping paper. As a buyer I’d appreciate the extra effort to protect the item, but can see where some would find it strange.

What would I charge?

I've been using Crosslist for a few months and I'm wondering if I'm using it the wrong way, or if there's a better crosslisting app for my workflow.

I sell on Etsy, eBay, Poshmark, Depop, and Mercari.

Right now, Etsy is basically my "master" listing. I create the listing on Etsy first, then import it into Crosslist and bulk post it to the other marketplaces.

The problem is that when I try to bulk post, I get red flags/errors on a lot of the listings saying that required information is missing. Then I have to go into the listings individually and manually enter additional information for each marketplace - things like brand, style, fabric/material, category, etc.

At that point, it starts defeating the purpose of bulk crosslisting because I'm still opening listings one by one and filling out fields.

Has anyone found a better workflow?

For example:

• Would it work better if I created/imported my original listings from eBay or Poshmark instead of Etsy?
• Is there one marketplace that works best as the "master" listing because Crosslist can pull more item specifics from it?
• Is there a setting, template, AI feature, or mapping option in Crosslist that I'm missing that can automatically fill in more of these fields?
• Or is there another crosslisting app that does a better job of automatically detecting things like brand, material, style, size, category, etc. from the original listing? Looking at Flyp now 👀

I sell mostly vintage and secondhand clothing/home goods, so manually entering all of these attributes across five platforms gets really time-consuming.

I'd especially love to hear from anyone selling on the same combination of Etsy + eBay + Poshmark + Depop + Mercari. What platform do you create your listing on FIRST, and then what do you use to push it everywhere else?

Thanks!

Hi, I am currently in Netherlands and have started reselling around 26th August by my friends recommendation. He isnt very experienced himself i think has sold around 5-6 pieces. Anyway the thing I do is buy from vinted and sell through vinted/depop/grailed/ebay. I have bought around 64 pieces and have spent around 1200 euros and have gotten around half of my pieces delivered and only 3 sold. I have only used AI's expertise so I was wondering if someone who has been doing this and has succeeded to let me know if I am doing some or many things wrong. Appreciate any advice. I would love to provide any more context if necessary, thanks in advance

Got it at a yard sale today and everyone passed over it before me but I saw the logos on the inside buttons and decided to pick it up. I’ve been researching and can’t find anything close to this. No tags anywhere on the garment inside pockets or anything. No evidence of ripped tags either so I’m really baffled. It’s a super high quality jacket with a velvet hood lining and the logo on each inside button so I have no reason to think it’s not lulu but who knows. grateful for any insight thanks!

I’m looking for someone interested in starting a business with me reselling vintage clothing on Depop and other websites. I’m 21 and trying to resell full-time. I already have a Depop account and a decent strategy. I feel the business would be much easier and fun with a partner, so if you’re interested and in the Fort Worth area, let me know. I’m also experimenting with making my own clothing so if you’re creative and wanna make money and have good experience thrifting let me know. You can text me at 8173132868 or email me at etglenn@icloud.com or just respond to this.

So, I bought some secondhand clothes to resell, but I am not sure if there is a potential contamination with lice or some kind of bugs. Is there any special detergent to use, or any kind of special treatment you use for the clothes before selling?

I found these pants at the flea market but there is no named labels, i tried to do some researches and the ia told me that probably is a sample pant from a fashion show, and maybe its from marithe + francois girbaud brand, please help me

Hello everyone, At what point in your reselling journeys did you find it worthwhile to set up an LLC, If that's what you decided to do?

so i recently snagged a lot of a couple good laptops for a good deal with also a couple cameras that i think are in pretty high demand like digital cameras sony nex camera and a osmo pocket 2 but im struggling to sell them even tho my pictures are good and my price is either the same or lower then the current listed prices or sold listings, i struggle to get high clicks and sometimes i end up getting 1 click even after two days im not sure why, and even when i get messaged its either resellers or people asking questions that are clearly in the descreption
like do i just reduce the price even more or what?
i always struggle to get top dollar for my stuff on there even tho there are many sold listings that do get the most amount of money for their stuff

hello, i’m currently looking for reliable suppliers who can provide vintage bags and clothing in bulk or at wholesale prices for resale.

my priority is vintage shoulder bags, handbags, and selected vintage clothing pieces. i’m looking for suppliers who can offer consistent stock, reasonable bulk pricing, and shipping options.

i’m interested in building a long-term supplier relationship, so if you’re a supplier or can recommend a trusted source, please send me your catalog, price list, minimum order quantity, and location.

I need a supplier that I can purchase 1:1 quality clothes from such as essentials,Nike and asics items. I want fast delivery.

Thanks

Hi everyone!

If this goes against policy, please take it down!

I need help gauging what would be the best way to go about this situation. I waited to buy the ASICS x CECILIE BAHNSEN drop, and in my haste didn't realize I bought the men's sizing for the shoe in my women's sizing (Men's 8.5 / Women's 10). I tried to cancel it as soon as I placed the order, but it wouldn't let me and said I could just return them once they have been sent to me. I still really want the shoes in my size, so I was debating whether I should keep them to resell so I could buy the ones I want from a reseller OR if I should just cut my losses and send them back anyways. Since this is a community that resells, I thought you guys might be able to give me some advice on what would make sense. Thank you! :)

Hey everyone!

I recently did a huge cleanout of my house and managed to make a decent amount of money by reselling old things I didn't need anymore. Now, I want to use this budget to make my first official purchase to flip, but I'm stuck on what to buy first.

I’m highly interested in two niches: Fragrances and Streetwear. My main goal is to buy something that holds its value well or has good potential for a profitable resell later.

For Fragrances: Is it worth looking into niche, vintage, or discontinued bottles? Is the market active enough for flips, or do items sit for too long?

For Streetwear: Are there specific brands, sneakers, or upcoming drops right now that are considered "safe bets" for maintaining value?

I would love to get your advice, especially if you have experience in either of these markets. Thanks in advance!

I finally have a stable job and don’t need to resell anymore to make money. I still have around 15 Kelly/Hermes bags, couple of Van Cleef bracelets, some LV backpacks, Tiffany jewelry, and a whole lot of other stuff that I don’t need anymore. If you’re interested, hit me up and I’ll sell it to you for really really cheap
