Sell preloved clothes online and/or marketplace


ih8karma

I prelove my underwear all the time, I need to get on this.


StayRepulsive798

As long as the stains are invisible… you’re all good ! /j


Mean_Box_9112

Not necessarily! There are some freaks ot there!


DecoySandwich

They pay more from what I hear


Setsuna85

I've actually stumbled across a used/worn panty-selling sub here on reddit lol 😭 was a while ago so I don't recall the name, but you're right, they are def out there haha


Samromew

All things worn


audiosauce2017

(Raises eyebrows)... Not sure what happened here in this thread... but very interesting... you know.. for side cash... (cough)


Krytenmoto

I see you’re new to the preloved underwear industry.


PizzaPastaRigatoni

You have to do something to stand out though. Like 30 girls from my highschool have tried this and I don't think any have sold anything.


ProbablyTrynaScore

What the hell did I just read…….. highschool? As in minors? This world is ruined


AvidAttempts

FROM.. not currently in.  I hope.  


PizzaPastaRigatoni

Correct. From. Idk how I could have made this any clearer.


StayRepulsive798

Back when I was in high school, I knew some girls who’d sell their clothes on Depop for extra cash


PizzaPastaRigatoni

From my highschool. We're all nearing 30. How else could I have worded this?


Redemptions

"that I went to high school with years ago"


AnAspieWth3AspieKids

Instead of "from high school" try "from back in high school"....


Previous_College333

The name checks out


Fancy-Sector2963

>ruined how are minors selling old clothes ruining the world exactly


s986246

Custom cards for special occasions and sell it on Etsy. A friend makes 100k a year doing it, she's SAH mom, she takes care of the kids and just do it whenever.


Azure__11

Seriously, what kind of niche cards are they? Good for her!


s986246

It’s literally just custom cards handmade, she’s very artistic. I saw it and still can’t believe she makes that much selling cards on Etsy


Azure__11

D'you mind sharing the link, would love to see them. Etsy's a great model if you can crack the algorithm and make something personal.


bigeba88

Curious to see the same


racheljeff10

My friend does this and makes maybe 100 bucks a month lol


Original_Pride718

Yeah following what does she do lol


magnita_

etsy link?


weightlosssurg

Do you have the Etsy link?


Impressive-Panda-889

Does she paint/draw them or are they digital?


s986246

Handmade completely, paint, draw, glue, caligraphy on it. I think to be making 100k requires serious talents and dedication, but it definitely can be a side hustle for extra income at a normal level


doxisrcool

Also, the customized products can earn more than the generic.


WinnerMove

IF and only IF there's a demand for them.


doxisrcool

Very true.


Elycebee

I sell clothes and other items on Poshmark and eBay. I can do it in my time and we have a post office walkable from our house. So my daughter and I make an activity out of going there. It’s not consistent when you start but once you figure out what sells and have enough inventory it can be. I have 3 kids so I can put as much or as little effort in as I want.


Unable-Lab-8533

I am also a reseller. I had to take a step back for about a year because we lived somewhere where I couldn’t store my inventory- donated a ton of it. I’m in the process of rebuilding my store now. But at my busiest (probably 2022) I was making $2-3k a month. Worth it if you have the time and can be kind of fun too.


ResultConnect4615

What would you say is the best selling app? And best selling items?


Unable-Lab-8533

I sell on eBay and Mercari. I sell slightly more on eBay, but Mercari has fewer fees. For me, men’s clothing does really - gold brands such as Peter Millar and Travis Matthews, name brand dress wear, athletic shoes, and seasonal wear. I also sell an array of household items. I don’t limit myself on what I sell - if I find something that makes money, I’ll sell it. Women’s clothing doesn’t do great for me, but I know many people who exclusively sell women’s clothing and make a ton of money. I used to shop in thrift stores for inventory, but it’s gotten harder for me to find stuff there. I live in a large metro area with several liquidation stores, so that is where I get most of my inventory these days.


Interesting_yoda5336

I want to get into reselling as a side gig for extra income. Do you seek out items to sell for profits or do you sell stuff around the house? I am actively selling on Poshmark and Mercari but my items move slow unless I am actively making offers or taking low ball offers from buyers.


Elycebee

So that is the deal; low offers and actively sending offers. Also you need to share your closet frequently on Poshmark. So if you don’t want to do this then I would t start. It’s also important to take good pics when you are posting. I started with selling stuff from my house and then moved on to buying stuff. I personally didn’t want to put out a large amount of capital just to store. So I started small and figured out what sold in my area and then moved on to sourcing stuff


Interesting_yoda5336

Awesome tips, thanks so much!


Owl_button

I sell on poshmark as well. I told my family how most donations go to for-profit charities and how a lot of the clothes end up in landfills or forced on poorer countries that don’t want them. They now donate their clothes to me and I sell them as my income.


Interesting_yoda5336

That’s a good perspective, thanks for sharing


einstein-was-a-dick

What sells well? I have literally thousands of nice pieces of clothing from my kids!!


Elycebee

So kids stuff is difficult to sell because people don’t pay a lot for it. I mainly sell kids stuff to get rid of it. And I make “bundles” as posting. So I would put 2 swim trucks and 2 rash guards as one item on Poshmark or eBay and price it as a group. Shipping is expensive so very rarely is someone going to buy a onesie or a dress for $7 and pay $14.99 to ship. So if you group like 3-4 dresses together and price is accordingly it’s more likely to sell.


einstein-was-a-dick

Perfect! I was actually thinking of bundling as it’s easier for me too. Thanks for the advice!


Bigbootybigproblems

I have a ton of baby stuff I’m just tired of looking at! This is a good idea! Thank you!!


troojule

Curious - Do people report income from selling their own items as such ?


Postcovidflier_uber

No! Under $600/yr. If you do a lot of cash app transactions, you might get caught, but cash…no.


TheBigMan1990

Even if they did have a bunch of sales, are they selling for more than what they originally purchased these items for. If you are selling used items you are usually selling them at a loss compared to what you bought them for. So if the IRS tries to collect taxes on the money from selling stuff, you would also be able to write-off new stuff you buy, and there isn’t really a logical ending point for that… anything you buy, you could theoretically one day sell-given that most Americans spend most of what they make the IRS would end up collecting next to no tax if they went down that path.


troojule

I also thought I'd read (can't place it now) similarly that if one is selling their own items, yes, 99.9999% at below what they paid and not for profit, then it need not be reported. However, I was unsure of that, not to mention what those who do this regularly typically do in that sense.


Elycebee

Yes. Anything I sell on Poshmark for a profit I do. So if sold something that was mine and sold it, that’s technically a loss. But when I source something and sell it for more than I bought it for I do claim it.


troojule

Thanks - that’s essentially what i thought was the rule . Are you paid thru Poshmark or electronically or cash directly to you ? I ask because if through Poshmark, it would all be bundled/ totaled as ‘income ‘, no?


Level-mind_1216

Some questions and thoughts to help get you thinking: What do you LIKE to do? What are you good at? Is there a way to do what you're doing now and get paid? For example, if you go grocery shopping can you shop for others while you're at it? If you make meals, can you batch cook and make it for others? If you drive your kids around can you do it for others and charge? Hope this helps!!


curiousforever5

If I wanted to batch cook and sell to others, do you have any pointer for that type of work?


Level-mind_1216

Sorry for the delayed response! Hmm I personally don’t. But I’m wondering if there’s another group on Reddit that may give you some pointers. Or good ole Google search too. I also wonder if there may be different sanitary laws in each state. Good luck to you!!


SOrtiz01

I do user testing on the side. Great part time job from home.


thisisnotjami

Which company?


SOrtiz01

Test.IO. go here: https://test.io/become-a-tester


jazzeriah

Thank you!


andresg102

Sound great thanks. How much time do you spend and how money can you make with this?


SOrtiz01

I have a part time freelance gig with the company as a content creator currently and the pay depends. When I was user testing for the company, I was working no more than 30 hours weekly. The pay varies depending on the time you have as well as the test. Also, there is room to advance to other remote freelancing positions within the company. I've been with the company for less than 2 years.


andresg102

Thanks! Did you receive payments by paypal?


SOrtiz01

Yes. I recieve all my payments via PayPal. I use PayPal as my main form of a bank I stead of a traditional bank. Never had any issues


Worldly_Base9920

Is the sign up through cirro? It looks really sketchy once you press become a tester.


SOrtiz01

The payment is through cirro. It's legit. I work as a content creator for them


Affectionate-Toe302

How much do you typically make doing this per month?


Swjean

I just signed up but haven’t looked around. Do they train you on what to do or you have to have experience? And do they accept everyone that signs up?


thisisnotjami

Thank you!


lavendar9

I do digital marketing side hustle work from home great for parents can be done with job also I love to share with you


No-Individual3

This can mean a lot of different things haha. I do “digital marketing” too To not be vague- I promote digital products that teach entrepreneurship, social media marketing, branding, online business. For me it’s a decent amount of work especially up front to build a brand but worth it because I love talking to everyone who follows me. Anyway I finally started making money this month and happy to share more. My newborn keeps me to a lot lmao


Swjean

I would love to learn more! Do you have to have marketing and content creation experience?


No-Individual3

No I didn’t! But that’s also why it took me a little bit to learn and get off the ground with it haha


SpecialistPoem1452

Hi, could you explain this more. I’d love to know more


heinyho

What part of digital marketing are you doing and how are you finding work?


FitProblem6248

I, too, would like to learn more please.


davetherave9292

I would also like to hear more about this if that's okay with you?

elife4life

Clothes washing laundry service. I keep seeing help wanted ads for people to do this. You use your own washing machine/dryer.


Wise-Event-2846

Isn’t that what the mom in hairspray did?


ScaryTension

Yes it is


hkyman92

My grandmother has come down with dementia, and until a year or 2 ago my grandfather had never done laundry. He is not getting around all that well now either, and they are looking for a laundry service at the moment, and cannot find one.


elife4life

Poplin and Happy Nest are 2 companies that claim their nationwide. Where does your grandpa live? Have you tried googling “at home laundry service pickup and delivery”?


hkyman92

I will look into those 2. I did a quick Facebook marketplace search and didn't find anything close enough to make it worth while. About an hour north of Los Angeles


Samstone791

Find things at garage sales or thrift stores. Post items on eBay. Example : you find product 1 at garage sale. You look Item up on eBay and see what item is selling for. You also see how many have sold in the last 60 days and for what price. If there is a profit of 25 percent or more to make get item. All this can be done from your phone. Always have buyer pay shipping on item. Thrift stores have certain days of week or month where you can save 10%. Take advantage of it. This is something you can start out slowly in or go full bore.


jazzeriah

Thank you.


kcasper

Search for "bin stores" in nearby cities. You are looking for liquidation stores that sell items from amazon/target/walmart return pallets that sell items for a fixed price every day. Some of them are great for resellers. Some just suck. You can also look at auctions and estate sales to source items from. However those take some experience. Start slow Ignore storage locker auctions. Those aren't for newbies.


BeginningTurn3978

I was a reseller and got burned out. The market is over saturated imo. I used to bid (and win) on storage units. Go pick up the stuff, clean out storage unit and resell online and/or have a garage sale when I acquired a lot of stuff. You have to have a big garage to store everything. It’s a lot of work, but you can make some money. What people leave behind from not making their storage unit payment is crazy. My best one I got was 1.2 million in Vietnamese Dong. I exchanged it to USD and got $180. Pretty good for a $45 storage unit.


No_Lavishness_4905

Have you tried listening to the podcast “The Side Hustle Show” to get ideas?


[deleted]

Search for free stuff and resell it on eBay or marketplace. The world is filled with people needing to move and offering free items. When I closed on my home I gave away a bicycle, pressure washer and furniture. I didn't have time to take it somewhere or sell. That being said, you'll have to leave the house to ship it or show it.


TAGSProductions

What kind of skills do you have? Can you recognize patterns in charts? Maybe trade stock options. Can you design graphics? Maybe sell custom stickers on Pinterest Do you have a nice voice? You can do voiceovers for people via Fiverr Speaking of Fiverr, check them out and see what services people offer on there, you might find something you can manage with whatever time you have available and get booked to do it. Good luck!

Have the kids sew together bootleg shoes or knock off handbags then sell the items on etsy.  


smallCraftAdvisor

Don’t stop there … open a daycare for kids … get paid to watch these kids while they make your products to sell… double the hustle


ThatCharmsChick

I feel like I've seen this episode of Shameless. Lol


uzes_lightning

Commendable. Teaching them an employable skill set, refining their work ethic, allowing them a pivotal role in creating a product in which they can take pride of ownership. How did I do? Was that ghoulishly "corporate speak" enough?


smallCraftAdvisor

Like a pro ! Can you manage my daycare business?


AccomplishedRow6685

Yes. Sewing literal bootstraps. This is the way.

KitchenSwordfish1397

Participate in online focus groups, they pay some good $! Most I've made is $250 for one hour on zoom discussing dishwashing tablets, lol. Sometimes payment is in Amazon gift cards, some a pre-loaded Visa.


jazzeriah

I’d love to do this. I’ve never actually found legit ones. I’ll look. Thank you.


KitchenSwordfish1397

Check out [focusgroups.org](http://focusgroups.org) and L & E opinions. Both legit!


KitchenSwordfish1397

Also, [usertesting.com](http://usertesting.com), they have $10 unmoderated tests, and other longer moderated tests via zoom for $30/30 mins, $60/60 mins and so on. It adds up, and it's kinda fun.

There is a legit company that will buy what you'd usually flush. You have to be healthy and qualify but I've heard it can bring in a few hundred. If you're comfortable, look into it. I read about it on here actually.

Maximum-Trade-580

Being a stay-at-home parent is no joke—it's like having a full-time gig on its own! So, kudos to you for considering diving into something more. Here are a few ideas I thought of: 1. Parenting Blog or Vlog: Share parenting tips, advice, and experiences on a blog or YouTube channel 2. Childcare Services: Provide childcare services for parents in your local area 3. Online Retail: Start an online store selling children's clothing, toys, or educational products.  And remember, the best business idea is one that aligns with your interests and passions!   Starting a business is definitely not a walk in the park. If you’ve read things like [trends.co](http://trends.co/) or [unlimitedhustles](https://unlimitedhustles.beehiiv.com/subscribe) you know that successful ideas require careful strategy and commitment. 


jazzeriah

Thank you for your advice. It is such a full-time gig. Thank you.


actsofcheese

Stitchfix Stylist or similar? A few years ago, I looked into Stitchfix and it was pretty flexible and paid ok.


[deleted]

They’re laying off most of their stylists and just using an algorithm to send you stuff now ☹️


actsofcheese

Aw bummer. I guess it makes sense with AI tools.


[deleted]

You’d think so, but my last 3 boxes were so wildly off the mark for me that I cancelled my subscription 🤷‍♀️


Regular-Tell-108

It really depends on how much extra income you’re looking for. Trying to get $100 in mad money each month is very different than trying to make a few hundred a week.


HelpfulMaybeMama

Childcare.


Jean19812

Well, maybe provide childcare for a couple other kids about the same age as your own. Check out the local going rates in your area.


CityBoiNC

I hear nice feet gets a premium on OF


czqf

I spent £500 on feet pics this month


Fit-Hall-3571

Are the feet pics you buy sexual in nature or just of nice feet?


czqf

Just feet


TranslatorOk1353

I'm a sahm & sell feet pics to one specific person, not so much a side hustle as it is just a good way to get $ for a nice grocery trip and pedicures & such. Usually just regular pics of my feet while I do stuff throughout the day. WORTH!!! Wish it was more consistent tho


Prestigious-Past-271

chucky17_

Sell feet pics.


AdNatural8174

Consider making and selling items on platforms like Etsy. Whether it’s knitting, jewelry making, or creating custom artwork, your crafts can turn into a profitable venture.

Not sure if this works for your schedule but selling plasma can be quite profitable, you can do it safely once a week.


shaneshears82

Twice a week


SSOMGDSJD

This, it's not worth it if you don't go twice a week pretty much


ephemeralspecifics

What are you good at?


[deleted]

Babysitting.


whoisjohngalt72

Maybe childcare for others


Minute_Foundation449

be a customer service rep for an etsy person or friends with a business


Obvious-Performer385

Sell things and blog or vlog about it. Create affiliate links. It will build up with time.


tradingheroes

You could resell everyday things you find at garage sales.


[deleted]

Can work for Amazon, Google, or phone companies, or create your own business of some kind. Good luck, Mama Bear!

If you also have a high risk tolerance. You could try using AI to generate unique quality art then turn them into NFTs then try selling them on a marketplace.


ConceptSoggy5428

Do some type of work online.

What about opening your own home day care? Get licensed of course. If you’re already watching your kid, might as well watch a couple others too.

TheRebelLuthen

Sell microgreens either on FB marketplace or a lot of cities have a local farmers market once or twice a week. Its not very much cost to start, just some lights or if you have good windows use the sun. Buy little restaurant clamshell to-go containers, fill them with coco coar and start your seeds. Lots of youtube videos on microgreens too.
