Hey guys, I just recently started reselling and have made some decent profit (made about 500k + td)
What items should I be focusing on? I find trying to resell items like paintbrushes gets kind of annoying with all of the offering.
I enjoy reselling stamps.. what else should I focus on?
Edit: What are some common principles to follow?
Common principle? Buy low, sell high.
Honestly it's different from person to person.
Some people like MPs, others like PBs and even others like HTS.
MPs are easy because there are plenty to go around and RSers always have some to sell.
If you stick with stamps, I'd suggest research prices and get familiar with which stamps are popular and how much they sell for etc. You have to stay connected to your market.
See idk if this is mean or not, but find a newbie selling a pb or mp and message them to price it lower. it is easier (give or take) to buy hts items since people are always trying to get rid of them and sell them for more, but that requires a lot of patience.
All in all, target the noobs.
Buy low sell high: Whenever you make an offer, make a low oneOriginally Posted by Gold
, but add haggle back option
Always know the price of what you are reselling. People always inflate prices on TP so dont look for prices on TP. Use pages like jellyneo to know the real price.
Always provide with low offers (very low offers) to HTS items
i find food items sell very quickly. i make decent profit selling the food items that rs's dont want ie low profit items i normally get 1k profit per item may not seem like much but it adds up.
Corollary: Target the noobs. Do NOT target the long-time players on young accounts. It doesn't get you discounts (unless I'm ridiculously impatient, which is not unheard of), it gets you people wishing they could impale you through the eye.
If people dont know what they are talking about.. target them hehehe
oh and if you see them frequent the bdc or tc just.. walk away
Should I put a limit on my spending? Or should I grab every good deal I can? Eventually it would come back to me so I wouldn't mind.. idk.
