if i were to give my opinion on reselling i would be cancelled. 
#reselling items for profit isnt new#its just that with the internet you have the ability to share more#ppl have been reselling things for a profit for a long time#and i know the videos of ppl showing off items for depop make it seem like theyre making easy money#and ppl are like 'get a real job\ur just like a landlord'#well chances are thats a side gig#and theyre not renting out clothes--its not a rental boutique#if you are interested in vintage items for cheap then you need to go the source---yard sales#ppl that resell are going to thrift stores and guess what? majority of the clothes that end up at thrift stores are the#clothes that dont sell at yard sales and estate sales#where they probably were cheaper#comments on that get mad at these ppl is wasted energy#the idea that its easy to resell something however....thats a lie and i have a huge problem with that#that show about reselling and re touching yard sale items is a lie#when they show a team win bc they sold their 3 big ticket items...a lie#you can go a swap meet or a flea market with ur best used goods and not sell a damn thing#bc ppl dont like ur price.#they nitpick the item in question.#they say they could get the item new and cheaper elsewhere#go to ebay and see how long an item sans bidding is there. a long time. sometimes delted and reposted.#its actually very hard to resell used goods now#its was way easier in the 90's#to make a living at it#u cant now#and maybe a few can but everything changes according to what the economy is like#everybody getting mad at depop girls but the clothes theyre reselling---for starters--dont even fit plus size women like myself#so i cant really get mad about that#if we're being really honest----its just the skinny bitches getting mad that one of their own is betraying them#and before anyone says anything mean to me---my parents--my mother specifically--resold things for profit in the 90s up until mid 2000's#she sent to my sisters to 4 yr uni's for their bachelor's and they had no debt when they graduated
