Frequently Asked Questions

What is a good profit margin for reselling?
Experienced resellers aim for at least a 50% profit margin (selling for at least 3x the purchase price). For lower-priced items ($5-$20 purchase), aim for a higher markup (4-5x) to make the time investment worthwhile.
Which platform is best for reselling thrift finds?
It depends on the item. eBay is best for electronics, collectibles, and niche items. Poshmark is ideal for clothing and accessories. Facebook Marketplace is great for furniture and local pickup items (no fees). Mercari works well for general merchandise.
