Fleek experiences
I'm currently considering spending a lot of money on Fleek but I'm a little concerned. Everyone who posts glowing reviews seem to be affiliated with them in some way, and I've seen some terrible experiences too. I'm speaking to a few wholesalers in Pakistan (they all seem to be based there) and a few different companies have sent me videos of the exact same bundle but at different prices? Not sure what's going on with that. Would be interested in hearing if anyone's tried it! Thanks :)

@Oxana Koritsas that's what I'm worried about 😅 I think I'm gonna do a handpick or an exact bundle order so I know exactly what I'm getting!

@Simon Smith Thank you very much Simon, I'll update with how it goes 😅
Mental breakdown.. But tomorrows a new day..
Not really a question as such, more of a shared experience… with a little resilience thrown in. 😂 So, last night I returned to Whatnot after a 3-month break. I was hyped. I had 29 bookmarks, I’d spent hours prepping, and I was convinced I was going to have an amazing show. Guess what… 30 minutes in, barely any sales, and an average of about 4 people in the show. 😂 Naturally, I had a complete breakdown, came off the live and vowed: “I’m NEVER doing Whatnot again.” Within minutes I’d convinced myself the clothes were crap, I was crap on camera, nobody wanted what I was selling… blah, blah, blah. Full dramatic meltdown mode. 😂 Today, I came in, listed 25 items on eBay and 10 on Vinted. No views. No likes. No sales. By 5pm, my brain had naturally reached the completely rational conclusion that: Reselling doesn’t work. It’s not for me. I should probably retire immediately. 😂 Then I spent 10 minutes reading through this group, saw everyone’s success stories and realised… I’ve not failed. I’ve just had a crap 24 hours. Tomorrow is a new day — and, because apparently I enjoy putting myself through this, I’ve got another Whatnot show scheduled for tomorrow afternoon. 😂 Moral of the story: don’t quit on a bad day. Keep going. I’ll update you tomorrow… hopefully with a slightly less dramatic post. 😂😊 Thanks for reading! A a Ron

I understand this feeling! I have mini breakdowns like once a week convinced that I'm never going to sell anything again. Vinted is weird because I'll have an amazing day then next day get no likes on my new items and have no idea what I did wrong. It's like whiplash 😂 I've also had the same experience on whatnot, did a few great shows and then a couple where I'm basically sat there talking to myself feeling like an idiot 😭 Good luck with tomorrow's show!! Hopefully it'll go better 😊
Dead stock swaps
I had a though while delivering parcels today and bumping into another local reselle. Do you think fellow resellers would be interested in swapping deadstock? I know most of us are after the newer items because our knowledge grows and trends change but the thought came with how chain charity shops rotate stock. Why can't we do something similar? Would you take 20 items from someone in place of another 20 items? No strings, no cash exchange just a straight here you go, here's 20 new listings for you to try and sell. New eyes, maybe different audiences, fresh listings. Would if anyone has considered or even done it?

I would do this if I knew anyone near me, some sellers do better with different kinds of stock. I can get top prices for some womenswear but I can't get usually get the best prices on men's as it's not my niche!
Digital products
I’m really wanting to expand my selling and start selling digital products on Etsy, I just wondered if anyone has any experience in this at all?

I don't have direct experience but if you're talking about products made in canva that market is extremely saturated on etsy. Also those women that are on tiktok live all day claiming to have made hundreds of thousands doing "digital products" are operating a pyramid scheme effectively - they aren't actually making money from the digital products like calendars, planners etc they claim to sell, they're making money selling guides/taking commission guides on how to sell digital products (& if those people want to make money they also have to sell the guides, etc). The person at the end of the chain who is actually trying to make digital products for etsy generally makes nothing. It's a bit shady. Digital products can be a valid income source but I think it works best when you have your own audience to sell the product to & can offer something genuinely valuable
Charity shops
I may have had a moan about the charity shops for a while but what I saw today in one local to me has made me think are charity shop now more commercial or still putting the charity first? Is this just a younger people running shops and comparing items to eBay or is it us resellers not seeing the cost for a charity shop to run and wanted teams cheaper?

Some are well-run and some aren't. I've watched local ones go out of business by putting out poor quality stock at high prices, never switching out stock, poor merchandising etc. Some managers don't understand why they can't price things the same as ebay. I've actually noticed my local ones are cheaper than a few years ago but that's not everyone's experience. I think we'll start to see prices go down due to the threat of vinted & price of rag falling to nothing
