One of the most important numbers in this game isn’t your total sales — it’s your margin. Before you even list an item, you should already know: - Purchase price - Realistic sale price (based on market data) - Fees (platform %, payment processing, promotions) - Extra costs (shipping, packaging, washing, repairs) - A £20 sale can easily shrink to £5 profit (or less) once those are factored in. When you know your margin upfront, you can: - Avoid buying unprofitable stock - Price strategically - Decide when to liquidate old inventory - Run your business with confidence Margin awareness turns guessing into a system — and systems are what let you scale.

In reselling, every product has a life cycle.Some items flip in days, others take weeks — some even sit for months. Before you buy, ask yourself: - What’s the realistic sale price? (use sold data — yours or market research) - How long will it take to sell? (30 days? 90 days? longer?) - Does demand shift with the season? The more you know these answers before buying, the less you’re gambling — and the more you’re building a real, predictable business. What’s been your fastest or slowest flip so far?

Here are some of the best sales from the last 90 days. Pay attention to the keywords, brands, and prices — so when you see these items out in the wild, you’ll know what’s worth picking up. I’ll be sharing posts like this often, so stay tuned for more!

Hey everyone, welcome! I’m James, founder of Open Outfit and part-owner of a wholesale business supplying vintage and pre-owned clothing. Over the last few years I’ve: - Sold over 100,000 items online. - Personally listed and processed 120,000+ items. - Grown Open Outfit to £600K revenue last year. - Co Owner of a wholesale operation which processes up to 80,000+ items every month. So I’ve seen reselling from both sides: the day-to-day grind of listing and shipping thousands of items, and the bigger picture of moving stock at scale. 👉 But to be clear — this group is not here to advertise wholesale.This community is here to share knowledge, raise the standard of reselling, and support each other. Why I started this group I realised there wasn’t a single place where resellers could: - Learn what actually works in eBay, Depop, Etsy, and beyond. - Share strategies without hype or fluff. - Grow together, whether you’re just starting out or scaling into thousands of sales. That’s why I created The Reselling Standard — to build a community that sets a higher bar for reselling. 🚀 What to do next: 1. Drop a quick intro comment below — who you are, what you sell, and your biggest challenge right now. 2. Get involved: ask questions, share wins, and help others. 3. Remember: the more you contribute, the more valuable this community becomes for everyone. I’m excited to have you here — let’s raise the bar and set the new standard together. – James
