Hawaiian shirts are not all created equal... My (expensive) lesson. I need to plan a luau. Everyone gets to take a shirt home as a door prize. LOL

I would say one of my biggest mistakes was buying things just because they were a good/designer brand but are an older, not sought after style. For example, buying a ba&sh dress that’s been sitting in my closet for forever. It’s an older style and not in style anymore. Same thing with a “dress the population” dress. I would say “AVOID LABEL BLINDNESS!”

Tbh I would have picked up that Eileen fisher for that price and just listed for around $25 and it would have probably sold quick. I know everybody has different business models but mine is move items fast. If I can triple my money I accept all offers. And even though I only have 430 items listed I sold almost 200 items last month. I always pick up Eileen in the bins but just price low if smaller size. Love your channel!! Thanks for the video!

Mine isn't even brand specific, it's size specific. About 65% of my inventory that just won't sell, despite being good brands, are size XS. I used to say everyone needs clothes and pick up size XS / S indiscriminately in good brands. We have to remember and consider the fact that the average woman in the US is now a size 16, and picking up a ton of sizes XS and even S these days, isn't realistic.

I've only been reselling for a little over a year now and im still learning but trust me I've made so many mistakes not checking comps, overpaying, buying something for the brand but its not a desired style etc 🤦‍♀️. Watching resellers like yourself I've learned so much so thank you for all the tips and advice I've been doing so much better with my selections.

Chico's used to do very well for me, but now forget it. I haven't sold a Chico's item for over 6 months!

[lovinglifefreely]

That is one thing about reselling is keeping up with the coming & going clothing trends. Trying to sell something before it goes out of style or becomes over saturated!

Wishing a blessed Move It March to all who observe!

I’ve been selling a TON of NWT Talbots and J.Jill, especially in extended sizing. It even inspired me to try picking up a few non-new dresses from J.Jill at Goodwill. Both sold for $40 within a few weeks.

I discovered a men's brand called AMIRI, by finding a cardigan in the women's sweaters. It had a leather tag, so I figured it was definitely worth a look up! Comps were insane for most of the items - t-shirts selling for over $100 - but there had never been any sweaters listed. The sweater retailed for $1700, so I picked it up and priced it at $375. Since that purchase I have, ironically, found a pair of men's embroidered and distressed skinny jeans that I have sold for $200, but the sweater is still sitting there after a year, with no action at all. Definitely an example of "not everything from a BOLO brand sells"!

[valeriewhittaker]

Comps are so important! Even if we have sold the item or other items from that brand.

[susanegley]

This is a good, and vulnerable video. I appreciate it. The thing I've discovered over the years is, you should use the data, but there are definitely going to be times when everything looks good, but it just doesn't sell. You just shake your head. Especially with clothes and shoes, you are taking a gamble that the right person, who not only wants that style, but also has the right size, will see your product. We can only try. ❤

Much needed reminders for a fellow seasoned reseller❤

[pattycordell]

As a newer reseller, this is one of my favorite videos from you! Thanks for sharing :)

[melissarowe]

Buy sell trade stores are great so u don’t get stuck with stale inventory

[SongsbyCharleneApril]

Every single thrifted purchase (to resell), is gambling.
There will be bad buys.
I am a veteran/pioneer reseller…believe me, I know from experience, this is my main way of making money, since 2001.
If I had all the money back from my bad buys/unsold items, I could probably retire😆

[deenawhennen]

Thanks for the reminders! Great video! It’s just that the live shows have messed with the comps.

With jeans I try the pockets depth with my hands. Men jeans have deep pockets, women’s jeans I can barely put my hands in the pockets. I’ve got small skinny hands

I made this mistake with an Athleta coat. It was $18, and some sold listings were around $100. I was SO EXCITED, so I didn't check it over as well as I should have. The binding on the cuffs was coming undone on BOTH sides. I might list it and disclose flaws to recoup my losses, but dang. That was a mistake. Now, I won't pick up anything above $10 unless I KNOW it will sell and sell well!
