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!!

Free to E-Bike- $54.02

It dawned on me that I've been making money from free inventory these last two months. It's a risk free way to get into clothes. I think I have sold more clothes than books. There was the Free Inventory I received from my neighbor. I was able to get more needful clothes for myself, and I've already sold a few items. Then there was the free inventory I got from the school bus lost and found. I decided to do a fun series where I save up for a used car. I use my Mercari money for my dental transformation and that is a separate series. I already have a video called Mercari Buys Me Glasses. Here is my video sourcing at the Lost and Found, I've made two: Not everyone Can source here...free inventory Sourcing at the Lost and Found Recently, on Ebay, I sold this Reebok sweater. It sold for $13.00 buyer paid $4.99 shipping. His total was $19.25, and my profit was $8.92. The Nike blue lunch box was a surprise sell for me, so I went back and picked up the other lunch boxes. It

Goodwill Resell for Profit - Did I Make My Money Back?

On May 5th I went to Goodwill and purchased books to resell in my secondhand bookshop. I spent a total of $24.67 at Goodwill, but $2 was for personal use. I have already made my money back on these books! I want to take a look at the sales that came through so far, now everything else in my Goodwill haul that sells will be 100% profit. I also wrote in my previous blog post that I hoped to make my money by the 20th, and it's the 22nd. The first sale was this Rainbow Brite , like new, book. I listed it for $13 and someone made an offer for $10 within 24 hours of listing. My COG was .99, the selling fee was 1.00 and the processing fee was .91. $8.09 was deposited into my Mercari account. After COG, my profit was $7.10. I am trying to make my money back as fast as possible with this Goodwill experiment. I sent offers to likers and gave a whopping $5 off for this fantasy book lot, the buyer accepted for $17 and paid for shipping. I forgot that my COG was .99 cents and not

What Sold January 15-21 (My First Week Back!) I turned .25 cents into $13.49!

I can't believe that the same week I started listing I got sales!! There were three occasions, all sunny afternoons at the end of January between 3 pm and 5pm, right before it got too dark to take pictures. I took photos of all new inventory and chose Pango Books and Mercari to start listing. There has been a lot of promotions on my Facebook page, the social media platform I spend most of my time on. I joined some facebook groups for resellers. I decided on my next paycheck, I wanted to buy my domain. This side hustle was my dream job, maybe being a teacher feels out of reach. But I've always wanted to be a writer. A bookseller, being my own business owner, maybe. Just maybe that's what I can do! My reselling goal is to make what I made at my survival job. (I got paid $12/hour and worked 16 hours a week. Some weeks I worked 22 hours.) I'll be satisfied if I make any where between $80- $170. I listed a total of ___ books to each platform, and a total of 3 books sold.
