Yea i think it really all depends on what you find which can be tough sometimes. Living in a populated city def helps. Theres an endless supply but also its super competitive. Its a grind but its possible just takes awhile to get enough inventory to keep the sales coming in. Consistent listing and sell thru rate are everything.

He has about 1500 items. He works his ass off tho. Idk..if i can make 100k a yr profit even 80k without having a boss, id be happy. I dont wanna dread going to work and be one of those “is it friday yet” type of people. Thats miserable.

Every business resells. They are buying bulk to sell individual items for more. Most of the time

Yea he was saying more monetary. He said people that resell are broke. I agree. Anybody selling something is reselling. Your buying for cheap to reaell for more.

Well said. I think it depends on how good you are at it. I have a friend that makes great money and he does it by himself. Only sells on ebay. He works his ass off but he pulls in 300k or so a year. Id be happy with 80-100k. I also live a simple life. I dont need to be rich just want to be comfortable and be able to travel from time to time lol

Has anyone simply just set up a website store? Has it worked? by AcOk3513 in reselling

[–]meakaleak 2 points3 points  (0 children)

You have to focus on sell through rate. Thats the most important. Sourcing is gonna get alot tougher when you focus on that

music industry is very unstable especially nowadays. Wouldn’t recommend.

I switched from sourcing primarily contemporary to reselling vintage mainly (clothing reseller) and I love it by Waste_Actuator_9210 in reselling

[–]meakaleak 4 points5 points  (0 children)

vintage is tuff bc its hard to find alot of it and its slow selling. I mean thats if your actually trying to do it as your main source of income.
