I sell on eBay mostly with a few things on Mercari and offer up. Also do some local stuff. I have tried Amazon and still have an account, really really hate that buisness model tho. I probly will try it again at some point just to make sure I still hate it lol.
We have a farm so Space isn’t an issue fortunately. I work out of my 29×40 workshop where I list, photo, clean and fix items. Right next to the work shop I have a connex container I think 50’? Where all my inventory is at. I’m solo mostly. My wife likes to plunder at garage sales with me on occasion as do my kids. Is there a way to post photos? I could share my set up.
Hey Jay! I’m out of the knife game. The market has changed significantly after 911 with competition, knife laws etc.
So in 2017 after my accident I literally had $94 in my pay pal and roughly $110 in my pocket when I went to my first garage sale as an official “reseller” those funds were after all the personal things I sold on eBay and local. We paid off a few overdue bills and some groceries before I set out on my expedition lol. It took me a good year before I showed a profit of small margin, built up a store and burned through some really stupid bad buys. I learned a lot after countless hours of really studying the current trends, markets and getting a good business feel for what way I wanted to go. I have the set it and forget it model. I don’t tinker much other then send offers. I sell 95% vintage stuff 3% new used and probly 2% NIB.
