I just want to bump this thread and see if there are any updates. I enjoyed reading the initial data on HistoryNerd’s widgets and IndySales items, but I really enjoy the sneak peak on techniques for this. I also work full time outside the home (right now) and have a family I would like to hang out with, but my current job is a lot of physically being there and only a medium amount of actual work, so this is a great structure for upping my product knowledge in areas I’m interested, but have been scared to venture into! Thanks!!

I suppose I meant impractical in the sense of if you sell one thing a day, deleting it off the other platforms isn’t a big deal, but selling ten things a day, you have to delete 30 listings before other work. I currently cross post everything because I’m getting going slowly. When I hear about 20 listings per day, if that’s across all platforms that’s 80 listings per day. Too much imo, but I don’t have 80 listings, so…not a problem yet.

Jay, if I understand your question correctly, I started listing and selling the same day at the beginning of the year (but started sourcing in Nov, haha). May have undervalued those first Bonobos shirts, but it’s whatever now. Since Jan 1 I’ve sold 4 items on eBay, 6 on Poshmark, 2 on Depop, and 1 on Mercari. Still reorganizing my official numbers into a spreadsheet.

Posh currently does the best, but I hate the sharing and following and the forums are terrible. Mostly, though it’s clothes only, and ultimately I’d like clothes to be 50% or less of my listings.

I research each item quite a bit, and then some items a lot. I’ve probably research fire king mugs a total of 8 hours after I heard about them on the podcast, and I don’t even have one! If I do find one I don’t know if I’ll be able to sell. There so cool. I would say average right now is 20min per item total, but I do still check at the store for a lot of things.

I’ve mostly focusing on clothes with anything I think is neat added in. That translates to the odd piece of stoneware or all wood baby toy or weird vintage yellow kettle.

I had a hard time picking a niche, so I didn’t.

South of Denver, mostly Aurora/Centennial area, but I have no problem going to Littleton/Englewood for sourcing!

I’d go to a meet up. I’m always torn on the sharing secrets vs making a network, but turns out I don’t have that many secrets.
