There's a lot of routes you can take from sneaker reselling, local meet ups, shipping online, bulk selling, consignment etc... Its my 3rd year reselling, and been doing it full time for the past 2 years
Great episode! It's truly inspiring and a testament to the fact that you don't need a large budget to get started. In fact, you can start with as little as $50. This goes to show that with determination, hard work, and a bit of creativity, anything is possible.
You forget one thing, knowledge. Seeing how successful these girls are, I'm sure they know the market very well. If not, no matter how determined or hard-working they are, they still wouldn't make it.
@@rogueinvestor2375yes very true.. If you don't know know nothing about market and what the customers actually want.. Then the business will never be a successful one.
They say that the biggest problem in the industry is fakse, which is acurate, but the resellers complaining about there being sonmany reps, are the exact reason why they exist, resellers are selling shoes at a ridiculously high price, to the point that people perfer to buy reps than to go broke buying a single pair, i see reseller nowadays still sell panda dunk lows for $500 when they retail for $120 and are constantly being restocked, i say the biggest problem in the industry are the resellers

You guys are living my dream! I'm at my first 100 pairs right now. It's so hard to post some of the shoes i like a lot! You guys are legends in my eyes! I got the streetwear as well as bape and old evisu. Pretty much my last 10 year collection..lol. man this is awesome! Thanks for this video.
"we took a risk." That is the magic statement, you'll never know if you don't. Sneaker reselling is a huge business and it does not care about gender, race, background ect and that's what makes in interesting. There is only one absolute rule, DO NOT sell fakes.
I love seeing this.super inspiring, I need to start selling stuff on eBay again I was selling for a few months n sold some stuff but this really inspired me to re start selling again on eBay. I’m a big sneakerhead & really just clothing/fashion in general. Love watching your channel with all these different avenues to start ur own business
Wrap the shoes in a plastic the oils from people’s hands will dirty them dust as well you’ll notice it when you bring out the box and one shoe looks darker than the other
I do have a question. Are you supposed to put shrink wrap or and kind of protection for sneakers on display? I mean people touch them everyday and these are "limited/expensive" stuff, does dirt or stain matter? Thanks
A massively volatile market. The sneaker market has been on a huge rise over the past 10 years. Issue is, look at all of the shoes they are flipping. 90% look like they are Nike dunks /Jordan’s, Yeezy is dead, NB are all the same shade of grey with a different code. The reason for the volatility is that, people move on, they will move onto something totally different. End of the day it’s fashion, it’s always evolving.
These people are the reason why you can’t anymore just go to your local foot locker & get those pairs in your size you like because they are hoarding it , selling them for bigger profit that the brand makes!
I have a Nike Outlet rather close to me but it all depends on the inventory avail that determines my success. I'd have to source other wholesalers. A friend orders from China and tells me they are essentially seconds, not fake but ones that may have small imperfections.
Hey so I just started selling sneakers on amzn but very often 1 UPC contains many different sneaker sizes and I am unable to find a UPC that has ONLY my particular size... How can I add each size individually?
@@UpFlip Thx for replying. I just found your channel, sub'd, and enjoying the content. I'm moving back home from the EU and will start a vending company. I used to have a small one that was very profitable, but the wife didn't like me working a second job. Now that I no longer have a wife, I'm gonna be the vending king when I return. I really liked your video on Hill Vending. This is is good too, but I know nothing about shoes. Keep up the great videos.
How are they still selling shoes for $200-$300 when the shoes are like brand new … they couldn’t have bought the shoes for market price.. I got the capital but where do you go to get the shoes in bulk ?
I love this but who is buying in marked resale shops anymore?? It baffles me that people still pay 20-35% markup at any of these stores. Not hating I wish u ladies the world.
i really want to start skr reselling am 13 my mom and dad mainly thinks its a waste of time and i bought my first ever shoe i was going to sell it for 120 when it was 105 they said no so i need help any tips

I don't like this business.. in a nutshell their niche is speculating with sneaker price. Nike needs to step up their game and get involved with legals since this artificially increases the price of their product. And on top you have speculators manipulating Nike's product and selling it if it was original.
If people are willing to pay the prices then people will sell for higher prices. The market controls the price and value of items not sellers. If customers didn't buy it then the prices would drop but they still buy it at high prices because it is worth it to them. And what do you propose Nike sues for? Prices is not a reason to sue just because you don't like it. The business is completely legal.
First time watcher... Very informative... Loved all the questions you asked. Very detailed. Going to my first Sneaker Con on a few days. So, great advice to take when heading there in Illinois. Selling the 20+ year collection. Continue to strive for greatness!
The sneaker head market will probably be over saturated, with sellers. It will cut into your profits. Luckily if you get the sneakers for cheap then you might win. I see it as side hustle than a business you cant really expand unless you have acess to supply house.
I would love to do something like that down here in Costa Rica.❤ Because I love sneakers and the problem down here that there selling copies ( fake ) sneakers.

Really enjoyed this video! Nice job!
Feels great knowing that my donations to goodwill, etc is making millionaires out there!

Love this video !!

I have a Nike Outlet rather close to me but it all depends on the inventory avail that determines my success. I'd have to source other wholesalers. A friend orders from China and tells me they are essentially seconds, not fake but ones that may have small imperfections.
Amazing episode!! But when they buy the sneakers in eBay how’d know if is it real or fake ?
I guess they buy them and sniff them all night🤣🤣 and in the morning they decide if they keep them or rteturn them
Just found your channel and subscribed. Great info
Awesome, thank you! Thank you for subscribing to our channel! ❤
The trainers collectors market is still in its infancy even though it's only a couple of decades old.
I feel like all shoe reseller or sneaker heads have the same personality
WE love sneak city !
Louder! 👊
I’m a start going to the outlet myself. And start racking up on some shoes.
That's great! Did you learn a lot from this video?
@@UpFlip Yes! I was starting to do resale with video games, but I had a set back. I'm about to bounce back soon as I get back on my own.

They're using a blacklight! ☺️
I was at the alderwood mall right before they opened!!😭
Were you able to visit their store? Thanks for watching! ☺️
Looked at their website. It looks awesome other than there is no indication whether the shoes have been used or not.
Have you tried purchasing from their website?
@@UpFlip when you look around at them all of them just say the shoe name when they are clearly used
I THINK THEY STARTED OUT RESELLING BUT NOW THEY CAN AFFORD TO BUY IT NEW
Where do they buy the shoes to sell
i just went to alderwood mall last week
Cool!
coming from an ex sneaker reseller, this business sucks. lucky if it works for you but tons of annoying interactions
Sorry to hear that. Why did you choose to end your business?
I can feel that
Brilliant…
Anyone knows where to buy sneakers in bulk for flipping? Any recommendation for reliable auctions or big wholesalers?
even if someone knows nobody will tell you dude have some common sense.

How are they still selling shoes for $200-$300 when the shoes are like brand new … they couldn’t have bought the shoes for market price.. I got the capital but where do you go to get the shoes in bulk ?
350k a month but how much is actual profit? 20k?

Nike needs to step up their game and get involved with legals since this artificially increases the price of their product. And on top you have speculators manipulating Nike's product and selling it if it was original.
If people are willing to pay the prices then people will sell for higher prices. The market controls the price and value of items not sellers.
