TIPS FOR THRIFTING
While thrifting for profit, there are several brands you should look out for if you’re trying to have a successful side hustle.
Clothing wise, TikTok thrifting couple @kaywayshop said Gymshark, Peter Millar, Untuckit, and Ralph Lauren are known to bring in some of the best deals.
Shoes tend to bring in high profits, but you’ll need to be somewhat well-versed in the brands and model types.
As a reseller, it’s important that you take high-quality photographs of all of your thrift store finds when listing them on sites like eBay.
You’ll also want a strong description that easily matches what online shoppers will be searching for.
Sellers can set the price at whatever amount they choose, but it’s smart to check comparable products that have already sold.
Remember, all side hustles must be reported to the IRS as income made each tax year.
Otherwise, you’ll risk paying some hefty fines for the uncounted income.
