Shares, Likes, Follows, Listing, and Relisting -What Actually Helps
For this blog post, I will go into detail about what actually helps you to make sales. Specifically, I will talk about shares, likes, follows, listing, and relisting, and how doing these things can either help or hinder your business. Most of the information presented below is based on my own experience, but feel free…
Shipping & Packaging
As far as shipping and packaging go, I know that I honestly put a lot less time and effort into them than I should. Personally, whenever I order something and it comes in a cute box or nice package with tissue paper, or has a cute little note, I am always very excited to open…
Pricing and Comps
In my last post, I talked about pricing in relation to sending out and accepting offers. I mentioned that pricing an item that you are trying to resell can be pretty difficult. My best advice would be to always check comps no matter what. By checking comps, I mean looking on a reselling platform for…
Pricing and Offers
Pricing an item that you are trying to resell can be pretty tricky. The reason why pricing can be difficult, especially on Poshmark, is because you need to be able to account for platform fees and offers. Platform fees are what percentage of the sale each platform that you sell on takes out of your…
Cross-listing
I have mentioned before in my previous blog posts that I do list on multiple different platforms. The platforms that I currently use are Poshmark, Depop, and Mercari. While I originally started posting items on Poshmark, in December of 2020, I started listing more on Depop and then decided to also use Mercari. Initially, I…
Where to Source: Retail Arbitrage
The final way to source that I will discuss in this blog series is sourcing via retail arbitrage. Retail arbitrage means that you buy new items from stores that are on sale so that you can resell them for a higher price. This is a great way to source especially for anyone that follows the…
Where to Source: Reselling Platforms
We have already discussed multiple ways to source for items to resell, but there are still a few more ways that are worth mentioning. One way to get inventory to resell is to actually source from different reselling platforms. This can mean shopping on Poshmark, Mercari, Depop, eBay, or any other online platforms that sell…
Where to Source: Garage Sales
In this blog, I will discuss a fourth way to source for inventory. Garage sales are not only fun, but are a great way to get inventory to resell. I have always enjoyed going to garage sales, because they tend to be even cheaper than thrift stores, and a lot of the time, people do…
Where to Source: Buy/Sell/Trade Stores
Plato’s Closet is also a great place to source. It is less of a thrift store and more of a buy/sell/trade store. While Plato’s does seem to be a little bit more expensive than regular thrift stores, many of the prices are actually comparable to Goodwill. However, Plato’s does definitely mark up some higher-end items…
Where to Source: Thrifting
Thrifting is definitely my favorite way to source for items to resell. I have always loved thrifting, and have gone with my mom since I was a little girl. Nowadays, reselling gives me a great excuse to go. As I mentioned in my last blog post, I am trying to follow a more minimalist lifestyle,…
