Hi, I had a few questions because I was thinking about starting my own reselling business. 1. Approximately how much money do you spend a day at the thrift shop? 2. Do you have another job and this is just a side hustle? 3. Approximately how much profit do you earn a month? 4. What is your Instagram name?
So I’ve been huge on thrifting & also DIYing my own clothes for literally 5 years now & this is everything I needed in a video! 🤩😍 girl you inspire me so much! I had no idea this existed but I love the concept of recycling clothes while also staying trendy and cute but sharing with others all around 🤓😎 sis I got my notebook and pen out taking all the tips you offer! Thanks so much for uploading 💗💗 appreciate you
Hey there- sorry for the late response!! So I use a website called pirateship which requires you to enter in the width/length, and weight of the package so you’ll need a scale. It automatically calculates the cheapest price and it’s always either first class or priority! Hands down the best shipping website I’ve ever used and it’s completely free!
I met a woman who I go to school with who only thrifts and resells at flea markets, which is what I want to do because I won't have to worry about shipping costs. I am going to thrift the clothes and go with her to a booth that she will pay for and I will give her half of what I make for my clothes initially so I can get started. Then, I plan on thrifting and selling my clothes locally. I live very close to a downtown area, so I will bring some of my furniture and set up my own little outside shop on the lawn area close by. Where I live there are tourists for half the year and I would be selling clothes for way cheaper than local upscale clothing businesses. I think I could make at least $50 a day doing that
Thank you so much for being so open and helpful with all of this great info. I'm about to start my online thrifting business and this really helped ...thanks again!
Also I will set up an etsy page and instagram page. Etsy seems to be really popular these days and will definitely be worth using for nicer clothes I find
ciline johnson I actually don’t have much experience with either of those I’m sorry!! I’d look into each one a little though, maybe you could start with poshmark or depop?
it takes time! think of something that means something to you, i chose grateful threads because i thought it was clever and cute! also i am so grateful for being able to do what i do
Do you suggest selling off of instagram over poshmark? I have been selling off of poshmark, but feel as though I should be making more due to the poshmark fees
@@hannahcat08 omg literally fangirling haha i just opened up my IG and its @ aquarius.thrifts ! it's been such an amazing experience so far. your tips came in handy!
This helping me so much in understanding how to sell thrift clothing, I just recently closed a women's clothing with old and new style clothing and I'm trying to sell everything asap because I'm paying too much for the storages I have 2 full of clothing, shoes and stuff :(
How do u do ur customize filter what if i taken a pic each of the item but it have different lighting because how my camera settings react with different color surely even i use the same filter it can have different results
Hi Hannah. Thank you very much for sharing this. It was such a big help for us who's stsrting to be a reseller in plstforms like poshmark. I had been thinkin why am not gettin any sale or sold items even if my photos are good. I think, I was too slow on promoting my stuff and didnt to follow enough to show what Im selling.
how do taxes work when you sell through depop? do you consider yourself "self-employed" and run your own business or consider it more of a hobby and just pay income tax? jw because i want to start up a shop with my friend but i'm kinda clueless when it comes to that lol
candace i’m not sure but on depop you wouldn’t have to worry about taxes until you hit 200 transactions or $20000 of sales, that’s when paypal reports to the IRS
I am just so lost on the shipping portion. Where do you buy your packaging? And do you print out the shipping labels from home once you enter them into the website?
Hey! So I order poly mailers on amazon (I get a pack of 200 for like $15). Labels are super easy! I use pirateship.com for printing labels, it’s free and very user-friendly! All you need is a scale (I just bought a cheap kitchen scale from the store) to measure the ounces of your packages. Then you just print them, tape then on and drop them off at the post office:)

Thank you so much for your content. Any chance you could make a video more in depth on the paper work side of things, keeping track of how much you are selling/ earning please? Thank you in advance.
I really enjoyed your video, I am brand new in starting to resell online. I am starting on facebook marketplace first. I would like to expand my knowledge on reselling clothes. I love to go thrifting for sure. I will stat with my clothes and garage sale items. I found some really nice Christmas dresses. Great video! I enjoyed very much!
I sell on eBay but am trying to transition to instagram As well so I can vouch for the fact that patience is key. If you’re not patient being a reseller is a waste of time.
love your videos you know you thing...I too like to round up like u do it makes things better and the extra ADDS UP which is too in my favor for gas,lunch...or...ETC...Keep the good videos coming...
i’ve never shipped outside the US but if someone wants to purchase and would be okay with paying for shipping then i totally would! it can just be pricey
This is an awesome video! So good to sell your average cost of goods! $3.60 per item is an awesome result from the thrift! Gas money is so crucial too! Gave the video a like and a subscribe!
@@JelscreationsNmore I think the price thing, how one store they left and spent like 40-50 then had 14 items. Then said like 3.50 for each item. As in like 50÷14. They also said they would at least round up to 4.00 to cover gas prices. So just good judgements n whatever u want the price to be
I’m trying to resell lingerie but I doubt thrift stores have lingerie ? Any advice ? I’m currently looking in sales and online but obviously need unique items because can’t sell things that everyone else can find on these websites nowadays
actually I think a lot of girls are really into buying off small business shops because things are cheaper! that, and the fact that they can order from home and don't have to go out. it's actually been really great despite covid so far:)
make sure you invest in quality pieces of clothing, and make sure when you take photos of your clothes the images are well lit and clothing isn’t wrinkly. people will be more likely to want to purchase!
i try to sell things on my thrift account and nobody and i mean NOBODY will like/buy my items. i take nice pics with natural lighting and i edit them a bit to make them look nice but nope not thing :/
Simply grace keep trying, I only buy stuff that I think people will like , or if they don’t I can keep and use for myself, I also clean them and make sure. They work 🙂
I think people that start their own clothing business or side hustle shouldn't discount going into a public place and having clothes out on display during times of day when lots of people are walking around or are out doing stuff like on weekends
do it! if you have a bank account where you can store your money and keep track of everything it's such a fun thing! I started out as a for fun thing but now i'm really starting to grow so it's amazing
I can barely hear you have to turn my volume all the way up and then the music is way too loud and hurts my ears. Only constructive criticism! Great video girl 💜
why would you ever edit your pics of clothing that completely diminishes the effectiveness of what the clothes actually look like and will generate returns.
Danielle Mancuso clearly you haven’t looked at my account so let me correct you. the first photo is edited to match my feed, all the other photos in the slide for that item are all unedited to people can swipe to see the true color. thanks for your concern though!
I want to get into selling.
Benny 08 you should! It’s a lot of fun and if you find the right stuff you’ll make bank!

Hey Hannah! Could you explain by online shipping website? since fedex usps and ups is so expensive . Thank you!
Did she answer your question cause I am questioning the cost of shipping is high for my starting up?

Hi, i suggest you to buy a Bale so that u can pick a lot of choices on your own and that is so cheap,300 pcs in one bale
been thinking of starting up a resell business and this have definitely encouraged me
What are the packaging your using? Is there a certain place somebody should buy them from?
Very interesting video. I am planning to start an online thrift store business, really need some insight. Should I start with a website or Ebay
ciline johnson I actually don’t have much experience with either of those I’m sorry!! I’d look into each one a little though, maybe you could start with poshmark or depop?
Thanks for your prompt response
I know this is a year late, but definitely start with ebay.
Hi your video is so helpful:) but i hope you talk a bit louder nextime i can’t almost hear you :)
Hi please respond !! :) Do you only buy clothes in your size so you can model them ? or do you buy stuff that doesn’t fit you also ?
This was incredibly helpful, thanks so much! The only problem is that I can’t think of a shop name! Any suggestions?
think about something that describes your shop. retro? vintage? y2k? also think about a name that people can remember. :)
it takes time! think of something that means something to you, i chose grateful threads because i thought it was clever and cute! also i am so grateful for being able to do what i do

How do u do ur customize filter what if i taken a pic each of the item but it have different lighting because how my camera settings react with different color surely even i use the same filter it can have different results
You can use adobe lightroom, it's a free app, very useful esp for adjusting colors of your photos

@@jessiewalters285 so there no needs for a business license if you're under those numbers right?
Ruben Joel i don’t think so :)
The democrats changed this policy and now you will get hammered for any sales over 600 dollars in a year.

No!! Instagram and poshmark are the best in my opinion
Thank you so much for your content. Any chance you could make a video more in depth on the paper work side of things, keeping track of how much you are selling/ earning please? Thank you in advance.

Do you count your miles and write them off on your taxes?

Iv just started one yesterday so this has been so helpful. Thankyou xx
Love this!!!
I'd like to do this as a side hussle, like I'd be shopping for me and pick up other stuff while there lol
do u need a sticker printer for the labels? im confused on the whole labeling process
a’reona michelle no you don’t! I use pirateship.com and I just print the labels out and use packing tape to tape them on the packages:)
Wait, you dont wash that dirty stuff before you try it on or sell it????
Very helpful! What size do you typically get in your mom jeans ?

How do you process payments for sales over instagram?
Do you have customers outside USA? How do you deal with shipping outside US?
i’ve never shipped outside the US but if someone wants to purchase and would be okay with paying for shipping then i totally would! it can just be pricey
How do you do financial transactions over insta?
Over DMs.
Do you use Mercari? Are there any apps u suggest for reselling besides Instagram? Good video btw!
Charles Wardlaw depop is a great app to sell! uses paypal so it's safe
Poshmark

How do you know what to buy that would sell like some of the ugly stuff wouldn't but some would same with other and how to price it to sell

I think people that start their own clothing business or side hustle shouldn't discount going into a public place and having clothes out on display during times of day when lots of people are walking around or are out doing stuff like on weekends
Great tip 👍 👌
Do you still have your thrift account? I cant find it.
yes i changed the name! it is now @shopgratefulthreads ;)
I have and old worn Chanel bag and an old fendi hat and I want to sell them to make some money 💰
for that stuff I would try depop or poshmark! you can even see where exactly others price their bags at to compare!
