5 Apps to Make Money for Resellers

What apps do you use? In this post I'll share what apps I've used to make money reselling as well as some other platforms you haven't heard of.

Vinted

Their mobil app was launched in 2012 and has 25 million users. This was the first reselling app I ever downloaded, back in 2014.

Depop

i've been selling on this app on and off for three years. It's users are next gen, with a flair of indie designers and artisians. It was founded in 2011 by the cofounder of PIG magazine, Simon who originally had the app so people could buy featured items modeld in the magazine, but he realized the potential and created a reselling platform that looks like Instagram. There are 21 million users who have a passion for fashion and I'm happy with my sales there.

Poshmark

i had this app and got offers but disliked the userface so much I never bothered. Clunky, but undeniably boasts 60 million users since opening in 2011. (which is astounding since a Forbes article in 2018 claimes 40 million users.)

Mercari

i was told about mercari years ago but the demographic detered me. Iwish i had started sooner. Sell men, women, kids, appliances, and much more.

ThredUp

I've heard of this for a long time and will be trying it soon because you send a box to them and they do the work for you. Some resellers will buy boxes from ThredUp to resell.

I wanted to keep this post to apps I've used or done my research. Maybe someday I'll find myself on other platforms: Ebay, Tradsey, Grailed, OfferUp, The Real Real, or Kidizen. And those are just the ones I've heard!!

What Sold Oct 8-14 // I turned $4.25 into $75.57

Did I do better than the week before? I barely listed any items. Days went by where I didn't list. I had sales on all 3 platforms. My COG was free. adidas Boys track jacket, small child 7/8, outdoors winter workout =$3.91 AUTOGRAPHED America : Imagine a World Without Her, Dinesh D'Souza non fiction = $4.35 1970's football dolphins steelers nonfiction biography vintage NFL sports books = $1.31 colleen hoover books bundle paperback thriller bestseller = $8.09 Dorothy wizard of oz Halloween costume cosplay blue gingham dress = $12.42 Oathblood Mercedes Lackey paperback vintage used book fantasy =$1.99 A Court of Thorns and Roses by Sarah J. Maas = $7.50 Y2k denim overbust shrug / bolero asymmetrical = $40.25 $79.82 - $4.25 COG = $75.57 These are the kind of weeks I like as a hobbiest/ side hustle. $80-$200 a week is preferable. But there's a LOT of work into reselling, you should set your goals higher. $100 a day.

Listing Challenge: I listed like Daily Refinement for A Week

Daily Refinement says you can make $100 a day if you list 5 items that will make you $20 profit. I really like how he puts this into perspective, plus, this challenge motivates you to list items that are worth your time. It's October 1st, and I need to list 5 items! Already the challenge of having enough to source at that high value is evident. All my items I got for free or have been in my closet for a long time. I also want my main focus to be Ebay and Mercari. The first item I listed was this rare, vintage y2k denim overbust shrug bolero. I got this years ago when I started shopping on Poshmark for myself. Or maybe it was Vinted. I don't remember. I have this listed at $85 depop/ mercari / The second item was a pair of black leather boots, brand new they ran a little big for me but I think they would go great for cosplay as well as casual wear. I have these priced at $55. depop / mercari / ebay Next was a pair of Nautica jeans. Not sure how well this siz...
