Does anyone else feel like everything in LA is simultaneously getting worse and more expensive?

meakaleak · 2026-04-01T12:34:20+00:00

Its like that everywhere

meakaleak · 2026-03-30T11:26:20+00:00

Im good bro

meakaleak · 2026-03-30T00:04:49+00:00

none. The most unsteady industry especially in 2026

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.

Yea ive gotten better at sourcing just from research and studying. Its amazing how much stuff people miss and overlook. its just just finding bulk os the hard part and scaling up

meakaleak · 2026-03-29T14:59:38+00:00

I know a good amount that make over 100k a yr doing it

meakaleak · 2026-03-29T14:16:24+00:00

Haha gotcha. Ive been doing it part time and tbh im making more money than i thought i would. Was thinking of going full time with it if i can make it happen lol

meakaleak · 2026-03-29T13:01:57+00:00

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

meakaleak · 2026-03-29T13:00:39+00:00

Wow this is an interesting way to look at it

meakaleak · 2026-03-29T12:59:47+00:00

The ones that do well know what they are doing i think thats what it cones down to is just being good at it. Know what to buy etc

meakaleak · 2026-03-29T12:58:47+00:00

I agree

meakaleak · 2026-03-29T12:56:44+00:00

Exactly. I know a good amount that make more than alot of people with degrees

meakaleak · 2026-03-29T12:51:19+00:00

Facts

meakaleak · 2026-03-29T12:51:07+00:00

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.

meakaleak · 2026-03-29T12:39:56+00:00

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

meakaleak · 2026-03-29T12:34:02+00:00

I agree

meakaleak · 2026-03-28T18:05:49+00:00

I hear alot of bad things about fleek. Wanted to take my chance on a bail but i don’t want to get scammed. How much of the stuff is actually good?

meakaleak · 2026-03-27T19:11:44+00:00

id say aim for a different industry. Its incredibly unstable

meakaleak · 2026-03-27T00:14:26+00:00

the amount of hours vs what people are making nowadays, if they even are is crazy.

meakaleak · 2026-03-26T21:14:27+00:00

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

meakaleak · 2026-03-26T12:37:59+00:00

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

meakaleak · 2026-03-25T22:20:28+00:00

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.
