Back to the Reselling Game

The job search has not been going well, and I think I will need to develop a plan B soon.

While I have several small projects that bring in funds, I am currently seeing some small profits from my Amazon Apps and eBook sales, these are not enough to cover any real expenses that daily life brings about.

I have previously seen success selling goods on Amazon and eBay about 8 years ago, so I plan on returning to reselling. This pairs well with Manufactured Spending, however, I don’t have the cash flow to ramp up immediately.

There is a liquidation store about 10 miles away and I have visited it twice now. I haven’t bought anything yet. The place is always busy, at least 100 people were there both times I went. The Friday price is $12 and everything is $1 on Wednesday, but it’s mostly trash by Wednesday.

So, the other day I opened a Poshmark and a Vinted account. I listed a few items on each platform to get started. I also made a Payhip storefront, an Instagram page, and a Gmail account to manage the operations.

I’ll be listing the more heavily used items on Vinted while keeping the higher-quality items on Poshmark.

Actually, I got lucky and found a golf polo in great condition at a local Goodwill. The MSRP was $85. I listed it at $35 yesterday and got an offer of $25 for it today.

I made $15.81 after fees and costs.

A sale on my second day. I’ll take this as a good sign of things to come.

    1. Yeah I got lucky on that golf polo.

      I was looking in my laundry basket this morning and I realized I have a few more good items I wasn’t aware of before I got back into the game.
