Where to Find Items to Resell (Free & Low Cost Options!)

If you want to start reselling online, you’ll need to figure out is where to find items to resell. Seems pretty simple, right? But every situation, budget, and location is different. So let’s talk about the best places to find inventory for your reselling business. I’ll also give specialized tips for each sourcing location, plus my best tips for sourcing on a budget.

Best Sourcing Locations for Resellers

Thrift Stores

While some people complain about thrift store pricing (it is going up along with pretty much everything else), thrift stores are one of the best places to find items to resell. Most thrift stores have new inventory coming in daily, which means you can pop in a few times a week and find stuff each time.

Even though thrift shoppers complain about pricing, you can still pick up items with plenty of room for profit. You just have to be focused on the stuff that’s worth sourcing because 90% of items at thrift stores aren’t valuable.

At thrift stores, you can source a wide range of products—from clothing to books to electronics—means there’s something for every reseller, regardless of niche. Plus, thrift stores are available in almost every community, so you don’t have to travel far to start building your inventory.

How to Find the Best Thrift Stores

Finding the right thrift stores can increase your chances of landing profitable items. The thing is, the “best” thrift store is going to depend on your location and what you’re looking for! Here are a few ways to locate the best ones:

Use Apps Like Yelp and Google Maps: Search for highly rated thrift stores in your area. Honestly, I even check out the ones with low or no ratings because you never know.
Ask About Discount Days: Many thrift stores have days where items are discounted even further—sometimes up to 75% off! Ask the store employees or check their websites for sale days so you know when you can get a better deal.
Try a All the Stores (more than once!): Don’t stick to just one store! Different stores attract different types of donations, so visiting a variety can help you find more diverse inventory. I recommend trying each one a few times before deciding if it’s for you or not.

Types of Thrift Stores

Not all thrift stores are the same. Knowing the different types can help you target stores based on the kind of inventory you’re after:

Retail Goodwill: Goodwill is probably the most popular thrift store in the US. The retal locations are generall well-organized and regularly stocked. You can find everything from clothing to furniture. They often have color-coded tag sales that offer discounts on items that have been on the floor longer.
Goodwill Outlet (“The Bins”): This is my favorite place to source because it’s dirt cheap. Items here are usually sold by weight. You literally roll your cart onto a scale and pay by the pound. It’s definitely not for everyone, but it leaves a lot of room for profit. Here’s a post I wrote about Goodwill Bins Tips for Resellers.
Mom & Pop Thrift Stores: These smaller, independent thrift shops can be amazing to source! Some have extremely low prices, but they don’t usually see the volume you get at chains like Goodwill which are a bit more well known for taking donations.

My Personal Thrifting Strategy

I usually shop at the bins (Goodwill Outlet) because it’s the most budget friendly. I spend 3-5 hours there and try to fill a cart. On average, I pay about $1 per item, which leaves plenty of room for profit.
I aim to find items that will sell for $30 in an average amount of time or for $15 very quickly. It’s hard to say how I gauge this. It’s something I estimate in my head from experience at this point. You’ll get there too!
When I shop at regular thrift stores, I focus on shoes, dresses, purses, and hard goods—these tend to be more profitable than things like t-shirts or skirts.
I put anything I’m considering into my cart, and at the end of my trip, I sort through it all. I use the eBay app to check sold prices and put back anything that isn’t a great buy.
I’m more lenient at the bins because the items are so cheap, but when I’m at regular thrift stores, where I’m paying $5-$10 per item, I’m much stricter. I need to know the item will sell for $25+ and sell quickly since I’m putting more money into each purchase.

This approach keeps my sourcing efficient and profitable.

Garage Sales and Yard Sales

During the spring, summer, and even into the fall, I love yard sales for sourcing. Sellers often want to clear out their homes, giving you more room to negotiate. Plus, in my eyes this is the first stop before they drop off leftovers at the thrift store so there’s a higher chance at finding profitable items.:

How to Find Garage Sales in Your Area

The key to success at garage sales is finding them early and efficiently. Here’s how:

Driving Around: Sometimes the easiest way to find yard sales is to simply drive around looking for signs.
Facebook: Sometimes you can find yard sales on Facebook Marketplace, or inside city/neighborhood groups. The only hard thing about this is you’ll need to map them out yourself and see if they’re worth driving to.
Craigslist: Craigslist is still a reliable place to find garage sale listings. If you have the app, you can even see a “map view” which is helpful in driving around to them efficiently.

Tips for Negotiating Prices at Garage Sales

Don’t be afraid to negotiate! Some people prefer to pay the asking price, but many people having yard sales expect a negotiation. Negotiating is a critical skill at garage sales, but it’s important to do it in a way that doesn’t offend the seller. Here are some tips:

Make Reasonable Offers: Instead of lowballing the seller, make a fair offer that still leaves room for profit. For example, if an item is priced at $20 and you think $15 is fair, start by offering $10 and work your way up.
Bundle Items for a Discount: If you’re interested in several items, ask for a bundle price. Sellers are often more willing to cut a deal when you’re buying multiple things.
Be Friendly and Polite: Building a rapport with the seller can make them more willing to negotiate. Being respectful and showing interest in their items goes a long way.
Carry Small Bills: Carrying a lot of $1 and $5 bills can be helpful in negotiating so the seller doesn’t see you didn’t need to negotiate because you have a huge stack of large bills.
Afternoons Mean Better Deals: As you get into the late morning, early afternoon, sellers are usually ready to wrap up and will be more willing to negotiate so they don’t need to bring items back in. I often get my best deals at this time.

Estate Sales

Estate sales are another excellent resource for resellers, especially if you’re looking for high-quality items. Often organized when someone is downsizing or after a family member passes away, estate sales can include a wide variety of well-kept items. These are often good for vintage or antique items and higher quality pieces.

How to Find Estate Sales Near You

Finding estate sales in your area is easier than ever with the help of online resources. Here’s where to look:

Websites Like EstateSales.net: This is one of the most popular platforms for finding estate sales. You can search by location, view upcoming sales, and even see pictures of the items being sold.
Local Newspapers: Many estate sales are advertised in local print newspapers, especially in smaller towns. Check the classifieds or community section.
Community Boards and Facebook Groups: Some estate sales are advertised locally, either on bulletin boards in community centers or in neighborhood Facebook groups.
Craigslist: Most Estate Sale companies still post their estate sales on Craigslist, so you can use the website or the app to check.
Estate Sale Company Websites or Email List: Most estate sale companies will have a website or email list that can keep you updated on when they’ll do more sales. If you go to an estate sale you like, make sure to ask if there’s a way you can get notified about future sales.

Tips for Sourcing Estate Sales

To make the most of estate sales, use these strategies:

Check the Schedule: Some estate sales last for several days, and many offer deep discounts on the final day to clear out remaining items.
Go Early for the Best Selection: If you’re looking for specific items or high-demand pieces like vintage jewelry or furniture, arrive early. The best deals and most sought-after items usually go quickly.
Ask About Bulk Discounts: If you’re interested in multiple items, don’t hesitate to ask for a bulk discount. Estate sale organizers are often willing to negotiate, especially as the sale goes on.

Online Marketplaces

Most of us are selling on online marketplaces, but you can also source there! I know it seems like that wouldn’t work, but not everyone knows what their items are worth or some people just want to get items sold quickly.

Sourcing from Facebook Marketplace

Facebook Marketplace is one of the most popular platforms for resellers. Why? Because when you’re sourcing locally, you’re not competing with people across the country. This gives you an advantage in securing good deals before others snatch them up.

Tips for Sourcing on Facebook Marketplace

Set Up Alerts: Use Facebook Marketplace’s “saved search” feature to quickly search for items you’re on the lookout for.
Be Quick to Respond: Good deals on Marketplace go fast! When you find something worth buying, message the seller immediately to secure the item.
Don’t Use Generic Messages: Too often people will accidentally message “Is this item still available?” so I like to customize my message which I think gets me a response faster, especially if it’s a popular item with a lot of interest.
Negotiate Politely: Many sellers on Marketplace are open to negotiation. If I want to offer less, I will often say “Would you be willing to take $X? If so, I can come get it today.” Letting them know you’re serious and can pick up soon usually gives them a little more incentive to take an offer.
Check the Seller’s Profile: Make sure the seller looks legitimate by reviewing their profile and reading any available reviews or comments from past transactions.

Using Craigslist to Find Inventory

Craigslist has been around for years and while it’s not as popular as it once was, you may be able to use that to your advantage.

The “Free” Section: One of the best places to look for inventory on Craigslist is the “free” section. Many people give away items they no longer need, which you can often pick up for free and resell for profit. This is kind of controversial, so it’s up to you if you want to do this.
Buying in Bulk: Craigslist is also a great place to find bulk items at a low price. Whether it’s boxes of books, bundles of clothes, or home goods, buying in bulk can help you get more inventory for less money.

Sourcing on eBay, Poshmark, and Mercari

Yes, you can even source inventory from the same platforms you sell on! It might seem odd, but many sellers are just trying to clear out items fast and might not price them correctly or realize their value. Here’s how you can make this work:

eBay: Keep an eye out for auctions with low starting bids, Buy-It-Now listings with underpriced items, or with “Best offer” tuned on. Search for poorly listed items (e.g., bad photos or vague titles) that might have less competition.
Poshmark: Look for closet clear-outs or bundle deals. Some sellers offer major discounts on multiple items, which can be a great way to pick up inventory for less.
Mercari: Mercari is full of motivated sellers who often price items to move quickly. Keep an eye on recently listed items, and be ready to act fast when you spot a deal. I have several saved searches on there so I can quickly find new listings for items I’m searching for.

Retail Arbitrage

Retail arbitrage involves purchasing new items from retail stores—typically on sale or clearance—and reselling them online for a profit. Many resellers love retail arbitrage because it allows them to source brand-new products (which generally have a higher sale price and sell through rate) then flip them for higher prices. The key to success in retail arbitrage is finding products that are deeply discounted but still in demand.

Best Stores for Retail Arbitrage

Some stores are goldmines for retail arbitrage because they regularly mark down items that didn’t sell at full price or are clearing out seasonal inventory. Here are some ideas for where to shop:

Walmart: Most stores have an entire clearance aisle! I’ve found many things in these aisles that I’ve doubled or tripled my money on. Usually you can get multiples, too.
Target: In addition to clearance, sometimes Target has gift card deals and additional discounts in their app.
TJ Maxx, Marshalls, and Ross: These stores offer name-brand clothing, shoes, and accessories at discounted prices. They also have seasonal yellow tag sales, which mark items down even more and are a great time to grab cheap, new inventory.
Nordstrom Rack: Items here are already discounted, but they do have “clear the rack” sales where they discount clearance items even more.
Discount Grocery Stores: Don’t overlook grocery items, beauty items, etc. These are consumables that people need to replenish regularly. Sometimes discount grocery stores carry items that are being discontinued and can provide huge profits.

Tips for Shopping Retail Arbitrage

While retail arbitrage can be highly profitable, it’s important to use the right strategies to ensure success. Here are some tips:

Focus on Market Demand: Before buying anything, research the current demand. Just because an item is deeply discounted doesn’t mean it will sell quickly. Always check sold prices, sell through rate, and current listings.
Avoid Common Mistakes: Don’t get caught up in buying items just because they’re cheap. Only buy products that have a proven demand and offer a solid profit margin after fees, shipping, and any other costs are factored in.
Flip Items Quickly: The longer you hold onto inventory, the more likely the market could change. Aim to list and sell your items as soon as possible to maximize profits while demand is still high.
Consider Lower Profit Bulk Items: I’ll often pick up an item that only makes me $5-$10 profit if I can buy several of them since I only have to list it once. So I may only make a little on each item, but when I’m selling 5, 10, or 20 of them, it’s worth it. You can also lot these together to have a higher order value.
Pay Attention to What’s Not Selling: Often, you’ll find multiples of a certain item at a huge discount at chain discount store. But keep in mind that store may be clearancing that item nationwide because it wasn’t a good seller. Pay attention to what’s already listed and if there are 100 of them listed, it’s probably not a good investment.

Flea Markets and Swap Meets

Flea markets and swap meets can be great sources for cheap inventory! It’s almost like a bunch of garage sales all in one place so you’re not spending time driving around. Here are some good reasons to shop at flea markets and swap meets:

Variety: You’ll find everything from antique furniture and vintage clothing to collectibles and electronics.
Negotiable Prices: One of the biggest perks of flea markets is the ability to haggle. Many vendors are open to negotiation, especially if you’re buying multiple items or visiting at the end of the day when they’re motivated to sell.
Bulk Deals: Flea markets are a great place to score bulk items at a discount. Vendors often want to clear out inventory, giving you the chance to buy multiple pieces for a lower price per item.

Tips for Navigating Flea Markets as a Reseller

To make the most out of your flea market trips, here are some tips:

Arrive Early for the Best Finds: The best items move fast, so it’s important to get there early. Vendors typically set up early in the morning, and arriving at opening gives you first dibs on the best inventory.
Negotiate Prices: Don’t be afraid to haggle. Be polite and it never hurts to just ask. Bundling items can get you a better deal too.
Build Relationships with Vendors: Vendors who know you’re a regular buyer might keep you in mind for future inventory or offer you better prices. Be friendly, respectful, and professional when negotiating or making purchases.

Wholesale and Liquidation Sales

Wholesale and liquidation sales are great for resellers looking to source large quantities of inventory at low prices. You can usually buy items in bulk, providing a consistent supply of goods and, if you’re lucky, higher profit margins.

How to Buy Liquidation Lots for Reselling

Buying liquidation lots is a great way to source bulk inventory, but the tricky part is finding a good supplier. Here’s how to get started:

Platforms Like Liquidation.com and BULQ: These sites specialize in selling liquidation lots from major retailers. You can bid on lots or buy them outright. These platforms often list details about the type of items, their condition, and their retail value so you know what you’re buying.
Direct Liquidation Companies: Some companies work directly with large retailers to liquidate their overstock or returned items. These companies often sell their inventory in pallets, which can include a mix of items in various conditions.
Inspect Before Buying: Always read the lot descriptions carefully to understand what you’re getting. Some platforms allow you to inspect the items in person if you’re local, while others rely on detailed listings and pictures. Knowing what’s in the lot and its condition will help you determine if it’s worth the investment.
Understand Condition: When it comes to liquidation you need to know the difference between shelf pulls, overstock, customer returns, salvage, etc. Make sure you do extensive research and/or speak to a representative before buying.

Storage Unit Auctions

Made even more popular by reality TV, Storage unit auctions are a fun and potentially lucrative way to source inventory for your reselling business. When people fail to pay rent on their storage units, the contents are auctioned off to recover costs. Sometimes these units contain valuable items like furniture, electronics, collectibles, and more.

These auctions are held both online and in person, depending on the company.

How to Find and Participate in Storage Unit Auctions

If you want to try out storage auctions, here’s where to start:

Websites Like StorageTreasures.com: This is one of the largest platforms for online storage unit auctions. You can browse auctions by location, view photos of the units, and place bids all from the comfort of your home. If you just search google, there are even more similar sites.
Attending Local Auctions in Person: Many storage facilities still hold live, in-person auctions. To find these, call up local storage companies or look for advertisements in community boards or local papers. Attending in person allows you to see the unit firsthand, which can give you a better idea of what’s inside.
Bidding: Whether online or in person, bidding can get competitive. Set a firm budget and stick to it to avoid overpaying, especially since you usually don’t know the value of the items inside.

What to Expect When Buying from Storage Auctions

Storage unit auctions can be incredibly rewarding, but they also come with plenty of risks. Here’s what to expect:

The Risk of Unknowns: Because you’re only able to see the unit’s contents from the outside before bidding, you don’t have a full idea of what you’re buying. Some units contain valuable items, while others may be filled with junk or items that are difficult to resell. Be prepared for both scenarios and bid accordingly.
Potential for High Rewards: Some storage units contain high-value items like vintage furniture, electronics, or collectibles that can be sold for a significant profit. If you know how to identify valuable items quickly, storage unit auctions can be a great source of inventory.
Sorting Through Inventory: Once you’ve won a unit, you’ll need to sort through everything. This is time-consuming, but it’s also where you’ll uncover valuable items so it’s a bit of a thrill. Be prepared to donate, discard, or sell unwanted or low-value items.
Storage and Transport: You’ll need to transport and store the items you win. Some units contain large furniture or bulky items, so have a plan for how you’ll move and store it all.

Alternative Sourcing Strategies

While traditional sourcing methods like thrift stores and flea markets are popular, there are some creative alternative strategies that can help you grow your inventory too.

Consignment

Consignment is a fantastic option for sourcing inventory with minimal upfront costs! With consignment, you take items from clients to sell on their behalf. One big benefit is that you don’t pay for the inventory upfront. Instead, you give the client a percentage of the sale once the item sells. This can be a win-win, as the client gets rid of items they no longer need, and you gain inventory for your business without the risk of spending money on items that may not sell.

How Consignment Works: You agree with the client on a percentage split of the sales price. For example, you might keep 60% of the sale and give the client 40%. Once the item sells, you handle the shipping or delivery and pay the client their share.
What to Source on Consignment: This model works especially well for higher-end items, such as designer clothing, luxury goods, or collectibles. Clients may not want the hassle of selling these items themselves but still want a return on their value.
How to Find Consignment Clients: Start by advertising your consignment services in your local community. Word of mouth, social media posts, or flyers in nicer neighborhoods can attract clients with quality items they no longer want.

Closet Clean Out Service

Another alternative sourcing strategy is offering a Closet Clean Out Service. This strategy involves providing people with a convenient way to declutter their closets, offering them cash for items you can resell. For many busy individuals, the idea of getting paid while decluttering is pretty appealing.

How the Service Works: You advertise that you’ll visit clients’ homes, help sort through their clothing and accessories, and pay them cash on the spot for items you can resell.
Why It Works: People are often overwhelmed by the prospect of sorting and selling their own clothes, so they’re happy to let you take over. It’s a quick, easy way for them to make money and for you to get inventory.
What to Look For: Focus on gently-used, name-brand or in style clothing and accessories. Depending on the client, you could walk into a closet of designer goods or vintage and rare pieces.
How to Promote Your Service: Advertise in local Facebook groups, Nextdoor, or on social media. Highlight the convenience of a no-hassle cash offer to make your service appealing.

Libraries and University Book Sales

Libraries and universities often hold book sales to clear out old stock, donations, or textbooks. These sales can be a hidden gem for resellers looking to source rare books, textbooks, or other media that can be sold for a profit online.

What to Look For: The most profitable books at these sales tend to be textbooks, which can be resold for a good price. Out-of-print books and collections are also worth targeting.
How to Find These Sales: Keep an eye out for events advertised by local libraries, universities, or community centers. Many of these sales are annual or semi-annual, so you can plan ahead to attend.
Tip: You can use a scanning app (such as the Amazon Seller app or eBay app using the barcode scan feature) to quickly assess the resale value of books at the sale. This will help you quickly determine which books are worth buying.

Local Businesses Liquidations and Going-Out-of-Business Sales

Local businesses that are closing down or liquidating their inventory can be an excellent source of bulk inventory for resellers. These sales often include their own inventory in addition to furniture, fixtures, electronics, office supplies, or even specialized equipment that can be resold for a profit. Since businesses want to clear out everything quickly, prices are typically very low.

What to Look For: Items like electronics (computers, monitors, printers), or specialty equipment can be sold for a substantial profit. Retail fixtures like clothing racks or display cases can also be flipped to other small business owners or resellers setting up shops.
Negotiating Deals: Since these businesses are often eager to sell everything off quickly, you can offer to buy multiple items in one transaction to get a bulk discount. Don’t hesitate to negotiate—business owners are often willing to accept lower offers to move inventory before they need to move out of their space.
How to Find Going Out of Business Sales: These are listed in local newspapers, business directories, and even local Facebook groups.

Why Sourcing Inventory is the Key to Success

Sourcing inventory is arguably the most important part of any reselling business. Many resellers say that sourcing is where the profit is made.The right inventory is the foundation upon which profitability is built, and without it, even the best marketing or selling strategies won’t work. Successful resellers know that finding profitable, high-demand items at the right price is crucial for growing and sustaining their business.

Balancing Cost, Quality, Market Value, and Demand

Sourcing profitable inventory means finding the right balance between cost, quality, market value, and demand:

Cost: Finding items at the lowest possible price is important, but cheaper doesn’t always mean more profit. Focus on maximizing the difference between your cost and the item’s potential selling price.
Quality: Items in better condition sell faster and often for a higher price. Buyers are willing to pay more for products that look and feel new, so it’s best to avoid flawed or worn out items.
Market Value: Research similar items on to see what they’ve recently sold for. You can use this information to ensure you’re not overpaying and allows you to price competitively (which is essential to actually making a sale).
Demand: High-demand items move quickly, converting your inventory into cash faster. This is arguably more important to me than market value. I’d rather sell something for a $10 profit in 2 days than wait 60 days for a $20 profit. High demand ensures good cash flow which is crucial in a reselling business.

How to Choose the Best Sourcing Method

Choosing the right sourcing method depends on a variety of factors, including your budget, goals, and experience level. Here’s how to determine which method will work best for your reselling business.

Understanding Budget and Goals

When selecting a sourcing method, your budget plays a crucial role. Some more of an upfront investment, while others allow you to acquire inventory with little to no money. Here are a few ways to align your sourcing methods with your financial and business goals:

For Tight Budgets: If you’re working with a small budget, focus on methods that require minimal upfront costs, such as the goodwill outlet, yard sales, or consignment.
For Larger Budgets: If you have more money to invest, wholesale and liquidation sales can provide you with bulk inventory at lower prices. Retail arbitrage can also be a good option if you’re prepared to buy new items in larger quantities to resell at a higher margin.

Remember to consider whether your goal is quick flips (items that sell fast for smaller profits) or long-term investments (items that may take longer to sell but offer higher profits). Your sourcing strategy should align with your goals for growth, cash flow, and long-term success.

Best Practices for Sourcing Inventory

Sourcing inventory is more than just finding items. It’s much easier said than done. Here are some best practices to help you make the most of your sourcing efforts:

Timing for Maximum Profit

When it comes to sourcing inventory, timing can make a huge difference.

Best Days/Times to Visit Thrift Stores: Some thrift stores restock their shelves early in the day, while others have sales on certain days of the week. Timing your visits for fresh finds or deeper discounts and make a big difference.
Timing Garage Sales: The best finds at garage sales are often gone by mid-morning, so aim to arrive early. However, if you’re looking for bargains, consider going back in the afternoon when sellers are more motivated to clear out remaining items at lower prices.
Seasonal Trends: Seasonal items like winter clothing, holiday decorations, or summer sports gear are often discounted at the end of the season. Stock up during the off season when prices are low and resell when demand rises in the next season. Keep in mind this only works if you have enough of a budget to allow some of your investment to sit in storage for a bit without impacting your cash flow too much.

Avoiding Common Sourcing Mistakes

Even experienced resellers can fall into common sourcing traps that kill profits. Here’s how to avoid some common mistakes:

Overpaying: It’s easy to get caught up in the excitement of finding a rare or valuable item, but always keep your profit margins in mind. Research the resale value of an item before making a purchase to ensure you’re paying a price that leaves room for profit.
Buying Items with Limited Demand: Not every good deal is a good buy. Make sure the items you’re sourcing are in demand and will sell relatively quickly. Holding onto slow-moving inventory will tie up your capital and kill your cash flow.
Ignoring Condition: Always carefully inspect items for damage or wear. Even a small flaw can significantly reduce the resale value, so only invest in items that are in good condition or are worth spending the time/money on repairing.
Skipping Negotiation: At garage sales or flea markets, most sellers are open to negotiation. If you’re not negotiating, you’re likely paying more than you need to. Always politely ask if the price is flexible, especially if you’re buying multiple items.

FAQ

How do I know if an item is worth reselling?

Having strict criteria is super important in figuring out if an item is worth reselling. The best way to determine this is to consider cost, sell through rate, and sale price. Here’s how:

Check eBay Sold Listings: Search for the item on eBay and filter by “Sold” listings to see how much similar items have sold for recently. This post on how to search sold listings to help price your items gives detailed instructions.
Consider Sell Through Rate: Using eBay’s Product Research Tool, you can do a search and quickly see the sell through rate of an item. For example, if it’s 20% that means 20% of listed items are selling within 90 days. The higher the percentage, the better.
Assess Condition: Make sure the item is in good condition.
Factor in Costs: Include shipping fees, platform fees, and your initial investment when calculating potential profit. Make sure the profit margin is high enough to justify your investment (time and money).

Can I start reselling with no money?

Yes! I did! It’s totally possible to start reselling with little to no upfront. I actually wrote a post about how to start an ebay business with no money. Here are some quick ideas:

Decluttering your home: Find items around your home that you no longer want and start by selling those items, then you can reinvest.
Free Items: Check Facebook and Craigslist for free iems people just want to get rid of.
Consignment: Offer consignment services which means you don’t pay your client their commission until the item sells.

Once you sell a few items, you can start reinvesting that money into more inventory.

Final Thoughts

Sourcing good inventory is the foundation of a successful reselling business. While I’m sure you already have a few places in mind, hopefully this post has provided some additional ideas!
