Andi, as another reseller, this is the single most helpful, inspiring, and admirable video that I've watched in a long while. I can't thank you enough for sharing this information with us!! ❤
Andi, Thank you so much for your transparency. This was really helpful to someone like me that has been putting youtube content on the backburner for a year. You have been one of my inspirations with what i would love my reselling business to look like. This year I am committed to starting my youtube channel. You don't owe anybody a response back you already give us so much helpful information but it is appreciated to have you send a message even if its a quick one, it shows you appreciate us watching your channel and shopping your goods. Cheers to a better 2025 and can't wait to see what is in store for us all! xoxo
Fantastic video! I never comment but I always give you a thumbs up. It’s scary to put yourself out there in any form. You’re really a strong brave woman to actually discuss your finances. And discussing your misses is something most people don’t talk about. Keep up the great videos. Love them!❤
You’re not only a great influencer to achieve goals, your very human interaction with your followers is one of a kind. You keep me motivated and informed with each vlog!
As a long time reseller I so appreciate the info on the business side of reselling. You have clear goals and are making them work! Thank you so much for inspirational content!
Congratulations on growing your business and income so much in 2024! You definitely seem to be one of the hardest working RUclipsrs/resellers that I watch and I’m glad that hard work has paid off ♥️. I have a small Etsy shop and a booth also so I can really appreciate the effort that it takes to be successful in this business. May you have a great 2025!
I just love your videos! Your videos (even with tears...) are always so uplifting! Great job on your 2024 sales! Hope 2025 is even better with easier shipping and less stress.
Loved this video! You were so genuine and honest. I will never forget the time you helped me when I had questions about setting up my Etsy shop in 2024. You were the only one I knew in Etsy-land who I could reach out to with a seller specific question, and you answered my question right away without any pretenses. That’s beautiful. Thanks for that and for being such a thoughtful person. I owe you 👏
Andi, thank you so much for your vulnerability! REAL PEOPLE ROCK! It takes such a brave soul to put herself out there like that and what you chose to share was very helpful in terms of being realistic about the growth of a thrifting business. Yay, you!
Absolutely wonderful story, success and humility, from a grateful hard working woman. What an example she is for so many. Keep going and best wishes for 2025.
The reasons I keep coming back to your channel are multiple. But primarily, it is your transparency in all aspects of your hauls and business model. Thank you.
Outstanding episode, Andi. You should feel proud of yourself & all you accomplished last year! Your youtube content has helped me so much in my own reselling efforts. I think you are doing a fantastic job & meeting your Mission Statement. Here's to a wonderful 2025! Thank you for all you do♥
Your videos have been so helpful beyond my wildest imagination! They helped eliminate a lot of stress for me (which my family is eternally grateful for 😅)! Because of your shipping videos, I became comfortable with it in 2024 and am looking forward to increasing the types/sizes of things I list in 2025 since being more confident in it. The electric scissors and the larger scale have become a staple in my office (ordered from your Amazon link) plus I am looking forward to the book that was listed too. The cleaning method has increased my turn around plus I don’t stress if my daughter and grandson pop over for an unexpected visit since the smell is not overwhelming and clean up is a quick process. The “vulnerability” in your videos is a strength in my eyes…after I dry them from tearing up. It brings forward a human side by showing the good, not so great and the in between. I truly appreciate the knowledge and various aspects to the business you bring to us in each video!
Andi! You are such a beautiful person. Besides loving your thrifting style, your sense of humor but now, knowing your mission statement, I love you even more. You are a bright light in this world. Thanks for this video. I love your story, your growth and all your hard work that we enjoy so much. These videos.
Congratulations Andi! That’s an incredible achievement! Wishing you much growth and success in your business in the coming year. 😊 I’m excited to be along on your journey. ❤
Wow, I swear every time I watch you I just like your videos more and more! I look forward to all your content, I love your format and I just feel happy when I watch your videos. Just wanted to let you know you have become one of my favorites. Thanks so much for your hard work on all areas of reselling! You’re the BEST!
Good for you to share for all the right reasons. congratulations 🎉 on your success in 2024 and looking forward to seeing and hearing of your plans for 2025.
Dear Andi, first off, I owe you an apology! I have been watching and thoroughly enjoying your videos for the past several months…and just today I realized that I never subscribed to your channel! Thankfully, your videos pop up all the time, and I’m SO grateful that this particular video appeared in my feed. Your transparency was awesome and refreshing, and you can rest easy knowing that you made the absolute right decision to share your stats and your journey- it was all so encouraging, enlightening and inspiring. You are a gem in the thrifting community, and I wish you nothing but more and more success in 2025. And yes, I am now a proud subscriber🙋🏽♀️😊 I look forward to your workshops on content creating!
Andi, you were my North Star this year while I was dipping my toe into reselling. Above and beyond that, you were a delightful person to interact with occasionally, and you educated me while also making me smile and laugh at your content. I think the best part of your content compared to others is that you are relaxed and just totally yourself. I think being authentic is challenging for many, and you make it seem easy. So in addition to leading by example as a reseller, you are bringing so much more to RUclips and the world. You should feel very proud. If there was a RUclips award for entertaining education, you would get it. 🥇 Here's to your increased success in 2025! 🎉
Thank you, Andi, for sharing such private and personal information! I adore you and your videos and appreciate the love and care you have for your viewers! You are amazing!
Andi THE Real Real! No sugar coating, just truth . Appreciate you sharing relevant info. Today we've gone beyond the image's of brass, boxes and miniatures. It's a wealth of knowledge, the real treasure trove.
I started watching reselling videos a few months ago, to get a sense of the world of thrifting. Yours, Andi, are my favorite. You're so real, humorous, vulnerable, and helpful. I like the interactions you share between you and your mom; they are funny and heartwarming. I think there are many content creators who do not respond to comments, because, as you've said, it's too time consuming. We all know you appreciate them, and us, anyway. Wishes for a happy prosperous new year, Andi 💝
Andi, this video and the one you did with all the ins and outs of Etsy have been very enlightening. I watch every one of your videos and look forward to them. You make it look easy and I know it’s not. Congrats on the success for all your time and effort.
Andi, thank you so much for this video and everything else that you have put out there. Especially your authenticity. I just started back in November after wanting to for years, but dealing with too many health issues. I’ve been kind of beating myself up because honestly, I’ve been worried that I’m not gonna be successful. So when I woke up this morning, I just didn’t have any motivation. I decided I was going go have a cup of coffee, watch a RUclips video or two and then try again. First video in my feed was this one. I tell you I feel like the stars have aligned. I don’t think I’ve ever felt more motivated. You’ve changing lives with your content. Andi, I can’t thank you enough ❤
I’m so glad the video found you in the right moment! It’s crazy when that happens. Starting and growing a business can be filled with so many emotionally tricky moments so you’re not alone!
I think you are amazing to share this data with us. You are like the Tony Robbins of reselling. You not only grow your business but you share the path with us so we can do it as well. From the bottom of my heart....THANK YOU!
Marketing person here, too. I feel your pain, honey. The options grow endlessly and you are rocking it. I wanted to start YT in 2021 and am frickin kicking myself that I didnt! Good job, we love your videos and your treasures ❤🇬🇧✌️💥
MIND BLOWN!!! I enjoy watching all your videos. I get more info from you than any other “ thrifter”. Hang in there girl. Don’t listen to the negatives. HAPPY NEW YEAR!!!!
And I there’s so much great info in this video. I’m not a reseller but all of the RUclips info sounds spot on. 18:30 the time value is a major thing that most resellers skip over & don’t count it into their profit margin! Drives me crazy so I’m glad you covered it. 23:04 you should be very proud. 😊
Hi Andi, I have been loving your videos. I started thrifting and selling about 8 months ago. I'm determined to make a real go of it in 2025. I'm in England and love the idea of meeting and greeting subscribers. You have inspired me so much. Thank you and well done 😊 x
this is SO interesting!! i would love to hear how you balance your normal job and then sourcing, etsy shipping/listing, then filming/ideating/editing youtube! it sounds actually not doable hahaha especially since youre a mom too. i would LOVE a day in the life in how you prioritize you seem WAY more organized than me and I need help lol
Congrats on your record earnings, Andi! I applaud & thank you for your generosity in sharing so much detail about your businesses. You're inspiring! All good wishes for a wonderful year ahead of great sales, sought-after achievements, fun adventures, and friendships!
Thank you for the care and time you put into your business. I really enjoy hearing about your successes and difficulties. You are a like a breath of fresh air. Your persistence and flexibility have allowed you to succeed. Congratulations!
Andi what I think is your USP is that you understand and share your business knowledge and also make interesting RUclips content. Your genuine personality is attractive and what makes you so watchable . You have had a great year celebrate and enjoy the success.
Thank you for this transparency. I enjoy watching your channel, and I have learned a lot from you. Whenever I find brass, I always imagine what you would say about the item. I enjoy watching you find art that touches you. This community is wonderful. Thank you and your family.
What an amazing woman you are. You’re generous sharing I’m sure made a difference in people starting a business. For me you gave me a positive feeling about good people. You are a good person Andi :)
New sub! Fellow marketing professional turned reseller with a YT channel. Thank you for sharing your goals and growth. Mine are different but this was helpful and motivational. ❤ Love seeing another smart, authentic, powerful woman here. Thank you.
I’ve been watching you for months. I started watching from a trip you were on with Laura. Love watching her as well. Andi, I’m proud that you have learned so much this year in the time that I have watched you!! We’re all still learning to live this thing called Life
Andi, you’re doing an amazing job. I appreciate you talking about money. It’s a very brave thing to do and something very few people are willing to do even those that work inside Corporations are cautioned not to talk about how much they make or don’t make. I appreciate your bravery and your willingness to be vulnerable. I love your videos. I’m not a reseller. I am learning to shop in thrift stores where I used to just shop antique stores. Now I shop thrift stores and pawn shops too. Keep up the good work. PS I have commented a couple of times and been pleasantly surprised to receive a comment back from you. However, I don’t expect it. It’s enough to know you read the comments. Keep up the good work… love your enthusiasm and positive attitude.
Thank you so much for sharing this!!! I’ve been so wanting to do this to begin to prep for retirement but there is no one sharing this type of information to help someone make the right decisions and know the best approach! Thank you thank you!!!
Thank you so much for being so honest. I'm a vintage reseller in the UK and I'm trying to grow my business, I love your channel and find it so useful. So much work goes into reselling and you deserve the success!!! love from the UK :)
Hi Andi! Thanks so much for putting out this video. It is great to have some real figures/a real life example of how you scaled your business. I started watching your videos when I began reselling in 2023 and they have been really helpful and inspirational. Talking about money can feel uncomfortable, but I think it's really important, especially since a lot of people (in particular women who are caregivers) have entered into the reselling sphere to support themselves or their families. By openly discussing these aspects of running a business you are helping others plan for success as well. ❤
thank you for your honesty and vulnerability. Congratulations on your growth and best wishes for even better in 2025. Looking forward to see what fun and exciting content you have in store for us💕
Really enjoyed this video thank you for your authenticity , been a follower since I started with Laura and Abigail , the common theme with you three is true authenticity and true love of vintage ! From another reseller vintage lover in Fargo Nd ! Keep up the great work , love your videos
I have been watching for a while and have never commented...I just wanted to come on here and say, CONGRATULATIONS! How cool is it that you have made, and surpassed your goals! Thank you for your vulnerability, honesty, and warmth. I came because of the awesome thrifting vids....I stayed because of those things that make your channel uniquely you. Cheers to an awesome 2024 and best wishes for 2025!
AWESOME video‼️As a new reseller this was very uplifting. It’s good to hear the struggles that you’ve had as well as the success. I’m still struggling with keeping better records on product in, product out and recording what I pay vs what I made on items that I sell from home and my booth. My goal this year is to have a “dedicated” Booth, Etsy and Poshmark store in addition to my EBay store and stop selling from my home. Thank you, as this was an inspiring video❤ And congratulations on your success 🎉
That number definitely reflects the amount of work you put into your business, I'm so thrilled for you!! I hope 2025 treats you just as well financially all while keeping a healthy work-life balance. And dammit you made me cry too!! You are one of my favourite resellers to follow on social media, your content is great and you're the sweetest and also really funny! Happy New Year Andi!!
This was a very cool video! I really appreciate your sharing this with us. While I'm still working full time my plan is to sell and maybe attempt RUclips. God willing will retire in a few years and can devote the time to starting my journey. It's nice to hear realistic goals and as you said - not just the success after the few years of just plugging away. Don't feel bad about the tears - it's very touching to see the emotion gratefulness sparks - it makes you real and endearing. So glad I found you this year and looking forward to all you share in 2025. Blessings!!!
Andi, you're just the sweetest! Thank you for this video! And of course all your other videos as well. You're so professional, and inspiring, and I'm so glad the algorithm sent me to you this year! Your business videos are beyond helpful and I appreciate your transparency so much. In the past few years after having my daughter almost 6 years ago, I've been all over the place and you really helped me to be able to narrow down and focus on my vintage reselling business. I have another business as well and watching you juggle this as another labor of love, in addition to your original career, has helped me realize it can be done. 😊 I'm so happy for you on your great 2024, and I hope that 2025 is even better for you! Thank you again!
Hi Andi!! I am not a reseller,but I watch all of your episodes. I am 73 and just enjoy watching thrifting videos. Grant it there are a lot I don't watch. Some do to presentation,voice, personality and content. Yours I enjoy. Keep up the good work!!
Thank you so much for sharing! I am continually amazed by how much you give back to other resellers through your selfless sharing of critical information. This is just the video to rejuvenate me into growing more in 2025 and to realize that progress is more meaningful than perfection. Cheers to you and all of your successes!
As a reseller I have lost so much from not making rent but I push through because I enjoy it and I have a lot of inventory. Seeing this video was very inspiring, energy charged and hopeful. I see that I need to find other ways to sell my items Thank you for sharing and being transparent. ❤
Thank you so much for being so vulnerable and sharing your valuable experience, Andi! Congratulations on so many great wins and lessons! I would love to hear all of your 2025 plans if you decide to make an extended video on that! I am a long time subscriber who loves all the videos… not just Goodwill. 😉 Keep up the great work! 💖
Thank you for sharing all this information, Andi! I completely understand why you were nervous - so vulnerable. I think your growth was ASTOUNDING! Extremely interesting, especially from the perspective of a real marketing consultant. No pressure to respond (I heard you!), but IF you have time...here are a couple of questions: 1. How do you keep track of what you spend on goods? 2. How much time do you think you spend per week on creating content? Is there a certain part of it that takes most of the time (ex: editing)? 3. Will you ever include your mom, husband, son? Thanks again for all the content. It was fun to meet you in person this year.
Andi, thanks for sharing your success for 2024. I enjoy all of your videos, but I do click on the Goodwill ones a little more quickly. I hope you video more of those thrifting trips, especially since they are generating more income for you than some of the others.
Andi, thank you very much for being so vulnerable. It is a pleasure to watch your videos, so much fun and learning same time. Good luck in 2025,I looking forward to the continuation of your success story!
Thank you for sharing your real numbers, what worked and what didn’t. As a brand new reseller, your videos have been incredibly helpful. This video is so encouraging and helps me create more realistic goals for my new business. You’re amazing and congratulations on all your reselling successes!
You are amazing to be so transparent and vulnerable in reviewing your business success last year. This information is extremely helpful to others who wish to grow their businesses as well. Congratulations on a fantastic year and I hope 2025 is even better with the strategies you are implementing to prevent burnout! Best wishes and hugs to you!!
You are the best Andi! Thank you for your continued transparency and authenticity. I really appreciate all your videos - especially the vlogs! I've learned so much from those videos! Happy 2025!!! ~ Kris
I truly enjoyed this video. It was so helpful. You have quickly become one of my most favorite content creators. Hope you have a great and profitable 2025 and looking forward to seeing how much you make at the end of this year ❤️
Andi this is AWESOME! I’ve been wanting to start focusing on my RUclips channel again- and I think you have convinced me I can balance it and the shop!
New sub, I appreciate your transparency. Your genuineness is endearing and hard work commendable. . Congratulations on your success in 2024 and looks like 2025 is off to a great start!
I’m only 5 seconds into the video but I have to tell you how stunning that top is! You look beautiful. Ok, can’t wait to hear about the business woman Andi and your success!
Fascinating video! Thanks for being so open and transparent and explaining how YT works. Your marketing skills are definitely working! Good for you. Lots to be proud of!👏👏👏
Thank you for sharing! I think you are so lovely and anyone who calls you a friend or family are extremely lucky! 🍀 have an incredible 2025 you deserve it!! 🎉🎉🎉
Thank you so much for making this video. Ive been following you since the early days and I always appreciate your authenticity. This may sound strange coming from a stranger but I am also so so so proud of your consistency and steadfastness. As my yoga teacher says, the light in me honors the light in you 🙏
Hi Andi, I just started following you this year and really enjoy your content! Congratulations on your incredible success in 2024!!! 🎉 Subscriber from Canada 🇨🇦
We love your videos. You have such a great eye and fantastic personality! You bring joy to our everyday lives and have motivated me in my sourcing for ebay.
Hi Andy! I've been a subscriber for a while and will watch any video you post. I love the content. Thank you, so much, for sharing this information. Thank you for helping to protect the plantet.
So amazing! I really enjoy all your videos! Thank you for sharing the transparency and all the work you have put in. It was great meeting you at the Expo Rose City Vintage show last fall!❤
Love following you and so interesting to hear about the business side of RUclips and reselling! You’re one of my favorite follows on RUclips, so glad you’re posting more content. I would love to learn more about content creation and your thoughts on Instagram as a Marketing tool. Congratulations on your success in 2024 and keep being the fun-loving real person we all enjoy 😊❤️🌸
I think for a side hustle that amount is amazing! And thank you so much for all of your great content! It has helped me SO much in my own vintage reselling side hustle, which in turn has been a tremendous blessing to myself and my family. I’m glad to hear your hard work is paying off ❤
You are awesome Andi. I was born in Tillamook and lived in Pacific City until I was 10 so I consider myself an American girl also. I love all of your videos, especially when you’re out on the Oregon beach with Laura and your other great friends. I started an Etsy store in May ( Cloudy51) and have been pretty content with the results. This video has been wonderful of you sharing the results of your 2024 and sharing the why’s and the why nots of it. Thank you!

Thank you Andi! I’m a vintage booth owner from Salem and have greatly benefited from all your dedication to this industry.❤
Marketing person here, too. I feel your pain, honey. The options grow endlessly and you are rocking it. I wanted to start YT in 2021 and am frickin kicking myself that I didnt! Good job, we love your videos and your treasures ❤🇬🇧✌️💥

this is SO interesting!! i would love to hear how you balance your normal job and then sourcing, etsy shipping/listing, then filming/ideating/editing youtube! it sounds actually not doable hahaha especially since youre a mom too. i would LOVE a day in the life in how you prioritize you seem WAY more organized than me and I need help lol
Congrats on your record earnings, Andi! I applaud & thank you for your generosity in sharing so much detail about your businesses. You're inspiring! All good wishes for a wonderful year ahead of great sales, sought-after achievements, fun adventures, and friendships!
Thank you for the care and time you put into your business. I really enjoy hearing about your successes and difficulties. You are a like a breath of fresh air. Your persistence and flexibility have allowed you to succeed. Congratulations!
Andi what I think is your USP is that you understand and share your business knowledge and also make interesting RUclips content. Your genuine personality is attractive and what makes you so watchable . You have had a great year celebrate and enjoy the success.
Thank you so much!! 🙂
Andi, you are one of the bravest women I’ve come across. Absolutely an inspiration!! Thank you!!
Thank you for this transparency. I enjoy watching your channel, and I have learned a lot from you. Whenever I find brass, I always imagine what you would say about the item. I enjoy watching you find art that touches you. This community is wonderful. Thank you and your family.
What an amazing woman you are. You’re generous sharing I’m sure made a difference in people starting a business. For me you gave me a positive feeling about good people. You are a good person Andi :)
New sub! Fellow marketing professional turned reseller with a YT channel. Thank you for sharing your goals and growth. Mine are different but this was helpful and motivational. ❤ Love seeing another smart, authentic, powerful woman here. Thank you.
I’ve been watching you for months. I started watching from a trip you were on with Laura. Love watching her as well. Andi, I’m proud that you have learned so much this year in the time that I have watched you!! We’re all still learning to live this thing called Life
Andi, you’re doing an amazing job. I appreciate you talking about money. It’s a very brave thing to do and something very few people are willing to do even those that work inside Corporations are cautioned not to talk about how much they make or don’t make. I appreciate your bravery and your willingness to be vulnerable. I love your videos. I’m not a reseller. I am learning to shop in thrift stores where I used to just shop antique stores. Now I shop thrift stores and pawn shops too. Keep up the good work. PS I have commented a couple of times and been pleasantly surprised to receive a comment back from you. However, I don’t expect it. It’s enough to know you read the comments. Keep up the good work… love your enthusiasm and positive attitude.
Thank you so much for sharing this!!! I’ve been so wanting to do this to begin to prep for retirement but there is no one sharing this type of information to help someone make the right decisions and know the best approach! Thank you thank you!!!
Thank you so much for being so honest. I'm a vintage reseller in the UK and I'm trying to grow my business, I love your channel and find it so useful. So much work goes into reselling and you deserve the success!!! love from the UK :)
I’m going to be in the UK this summer and am thinking about doing a reseller meetup! :)
Hi Andi! Thanks so much for putting out this video. It is great to have some real figures/a real life example of how you scaled your business. I started watching your videos when I began reselling in 2023 and they have been really helpful and inspirational. Talking about money can feel uncomfortable, but I think it's really important, especially since a lot of people (in particular women who are caregivers) have entered into the reselling sphere to support themselves or their families. By openly discussing these aspects of running a business you are helping others plan for success as well. ❤
thank you for your honesty and vulnerability. Congratulations on your growth and best wishes for even better in 2025. Looking forward to see what fun and exciting content you have in store for us💕
This is amazing. I love your transparency, always. I also appreciate your realness. Thank you!
Thanks for being open, keep believing in yourself, I think you’re an inspiration…keep up the good work and for just being you. ❤
Really enjoyed this video thank you for your authenticity , been a follower since I started with Laura and Abigail , the common theme with you three is true authenticity and true love of vintage ! From another reseller vintage lover in Fargo Nd !
Keep up the great work , love your videos
I have been watching for a while and have never commented...I just wanted to come on here and say, CONGRATULATIONS! How cool is it that you have made, and surpassed your goals! Thank you for your vulnerability, honesty, and warmth. I came because of the awesome thrifting vids....I stayed because of those things that make your channel uniquely you. Cheers to an awesome 2024 and best wishes for 2025!
Thanks so much!!
👏 Well done and congratulations Andi!!! You are an inspiration, don't every change!
That was amazing. Thank you for sharing Andi and I hope my comment makes your ad rev go ca-ching!! ❤
Authentic, meaningful, touching and very much appreciated.you're special.
That is awesome! I’m very happy for you 😊 you have worked hard and deserve success.
AWESOME video‼️As a new reseller this was very uplifting. It’s good to hear the struggles that you’ve had as well as the success.
I’m still struggling with keeping better records on product in, product out and recording what I pay vs what I made on items that I sell from home and my booth. My goal this year is to have a “dedicated” Booth, Etsy and Poshmark store in addition to my EBay store and stop selling from my home.
Thank you, as this was an inspiring video❤ And congratulations on your success 🎉
That number definitely reflects the amount of work you put into your business, I'm so thrilled for you!! I hope 2025 treats you just as well financially all while keeping a healthy work-life balance. And dammit you made me cry too!! You are one of my favourite resellers to follow on social media, your content is great and you're the sweetest and also really funny! Happy New Year Andi!!
I hope this year brings you double prosperity. I enjoy your videos and knowledge of all things vintage.
This was a very cool video! I really appreciate your sharing this with us. While I'm still working full time my plan is to sell and maybe attempt RUclips. God willing will retire in a few years and can devote the time to starting my journey. It's nice to hear realistic goals and as you said - not just the success after the few years of just plugging away. Don't feel bad about the tears - it's very touching to see the emotion gratefulness sparks - it makes you real and endearing. So glad I found you this year and looking forward to all you share in 2025. Blessings!!!
Andy, I don't think anyone expects you to respond to every comment or email. It is obvious that you put a lot of time into this. Love the channel.
Andi, you're just the sweetest! Thank you for this video! And of course all your other videos as well. You're so professional, and inspiring, and I'm so glad the algorithm sent me to you this year! Your business videos are beyond helpful and I appreciate your transparency so much. In the past few years after having my daughter almost 6 years ago, I've been all over the place and you really helped me to be able to narrow down and focus on my vintage reselling business. I have another business as well and watching you juggle this as another labor of love, in addition to your original career, has helped me realize it can be done. 😊 I'm so happy for you on your great 2024, and I hope that 2025 is even better for you! Thank you again!
Aw, thank you so much for the kind words and the support! It means a lot to me. ❤️
Hi Andi!! I am not a reseller,but I watch all of your episodes. I am 73 and just enjoy watching thrifting videos. Grant it there are a lot I don't watch. Some do to presentation,voice, personality and content. Yours I enjoy. Keep up the good work!!
Love the video! Funny the difference actually focusing makes!😂 best of luck to even more success this year.
Thank you so much for sharing! I am continually amazed by how much you give back to other resellers through your selfless sharing of critical information. This is just the video to rejuvenate me into growing more in 2025 and to realize that progress is more meaningful than perfection. Cheers to you and all of your successes!
As a reseller I have lost so much from not making rent but I push through because I enjoy it and I have a lot of inventory. Seeing this video was very inspiring, energy charged and hopeful. I see that I need to find other ways to sell my items Thank you for sharing and being transparent. ❤
I know a lot of resellers that struggled with their booths in 2024 so you’re not alone!
Thank you so much for being so vulnerable and sharing your valuable experience, Andi! Congratulations on so many great wins and lessons! I would love to hear all of your 2025 plans if you decide to make an extended video on that! I am a long time subscriber who loves all the videos… not just Goodwill. 😉 Keep up the great work! 💖
Thank you for sharing all this information, Andi! I completely understand why you were nervous - so vulnerable. I think your growth was ASTOUNDING! Extremely interesting, especially from the perspective of a real marketing consultant. No pressure to respond (I heard you!), but IF you have time...here are a couple of questions: 1. How do you keep track of what you spend on goods? 2. How much time do you think you spend per week on creating content? Is there a certain part of it that takes most of the time (ex: editing)? 3. Will you ever include your mom, husband, son? Thanks again for all the content. It was fun to meet you in person this year.
I track business expenses in excel. Gosh, I spend probably 15 hours on the two videos I get out between shooting and editing.
Andi, thanks for sharing your success for 2024. I enjoy all of your videos, but I do click on the Goodwill ones a little more quickly. I hope you video more of those thrifting trips, especially since they are generating more income for you than some of the others.
Andi, thank you very much for being so vulnerable. It is a pleasure to watch your videos, so much fun and learning same time. Good luck in 2025,I looking forward to the continuation of your success story!
Thank you for sharing your real numbers, what worked and what didn’t. As a brand new reseller, your videos have been incredibly helpful. This video is so encouraging and helps me create more realistic goals for my new business. You’re amazing and congratulations on all your reselling successes!
You are amazing to be so transparent and vulnerable in reviewing your business success last year. This information is extremely helpful to others who wish to grow their businesses as well. Congratulations on a fantastic year and I hope 2025 is even better with the strategies you are implementing to prevent burnout! Best wishes and hugs to you!!
Congratulations!!!!!!
This was interesting & a pleasure to watch.
Thank you!
You are the best Andi! Thank you for your continued transparency and authenticity. I really appreciate all your videos - especially the vlogs! I've learned so much from those videos! Happy 2025!!! ~ Kris
Andi, Incredible!! Thank you for being vulnerable and sharing your journey. What an inspiration ❤
I truly enjoyed this video. It was so helpful. You have quickly become one of my most favorite content creators. Hope you have a great and profitable 2025 and looking forward to seeing how much you make at the end of this year ❤️
Andi this is AWESOME! I’ve been wanting to start focusing on my RUclips channel again- and I think you have convinced me I can balance it and the shop!
Yes please do it!!! And then we can do a video together!
Thanks for sharing Andi. I really appreciate your transparency. I see how hard you work on your videos and I appreciate that.
New sub, I appreciate your transparency. Your genuineness is endearing and hard work commendable. . Congratulations on your success in 2024 and looks like 2025 is off to a great start!
I’m only 5 seconds into the video but I have to tell you how stunning that top is! You look beautiful. Ok, can’t wait to hear about the business woman Andi and your success!
Fascinating video! Thanks for being so open and transparent and explaining how YT works. Your marketing skills are definitely working! Good for you. Lots to be proud of!👏👏👏
I’m a crier, too. People with empathy and sincerity just do. Happy and proud tears! Just wait ‘til next year - more and more success.
Thank you for sharing! I think you are so lovely and anyone who calls you a friend or family are extremely lucky! 🍀 have an incredible 2025 you deserve it!! 🎉🎉🎉

Thank you so much for making this video. Ive been following you since the early days and I always appreciate your authenticity. This may sound strange coming from a stranger but I am also so so so proud of your consistency and steadfastness. As my yoga teacher says, the light in me honors the light in you 🙏
We love all your videos and you! You're amazing and work so hard ❤ hope this year is even better 🎉

Hi Andy! I've been a subscriber for a while and will watch any video you post. I love the content. Thank you, so much, for sharing this information. Thank you for helping to protect the plantet.
So amazing! I really enjoy all your videos! Thank you for sharing the transparency and all the work you have put in. It was great meeting you at the Expo Rose City Vintage show last fall!❤
Love following you and so interesting to hear about the business side of RUclips and reselling! You’re one of my favorite follows on RUclips, so glad you’re posting more content. I would love to learn more about content creation and your thoughts on Instagram as a Marketing tool. Congratulations on your success in 2024 and keep being the fun-loving real person we all enjoy 😊❤️🌸
So brave and SO helpful to see! It is a LOT of work you do to get that $42K. GREAT JOB!!
I think for a side hustle that amount is amazing! And thank you so much for all of your great content! It has helped me SO much in my own vintage reselling side hustle, which in turn has been a tremendous blessing to myself and my family. I’m glad to hear your hard work is paying off ❤
You are awesome Andi. I was born in Tillamook and lived in Pacific City until I was 10 so I consider myself an American girl also. I love all of your videos, especially when you’re out on the Oregon beach with Laura and your other great friends. I started an Etsy store in May ( Cloudy51) and have been pretty content with the results. This video has been wonderful of you sharing the results of your 2024 and sharing the why’s and the why nots of it. Thank you!
That was supposed to say that I consider myself an Oregonian Girl also!🤨
