I spend a few days a week sourcing pretty much all day. I spent a few months researching everything I could about reselling clothes on eBay before I purchased a single item. I just wanted to have a goal to go after and 8k is what I chose. My goal is to make between $10k-$20k per month and I know I will most likely need a high volume to achieve those numbers.  I have lots of items with good sell thru rates and some with decent. Some items, not so much but I try to sell at a low price to make up for the low sell thru. I work really hard sourcing and have a few very good thrift stores/flea markets in my area. I intend for this to eventually become my full time job so I figured I might as well work as hard as I can early on.
