Five tips for aspiring thrifters

A few months back, I wrote an article on how I earned over $2,000 selling on Poshmark in six months. Today, I want to take a step back and cover four topics everyone should consider before starting their thrifting journey.

This list is by no means comprehensive. I’ve included additional links at the bottom of the page for those looking to learn more!

Let’s get into it…

Pick a Platform

There are dozens of different platforms you can sell on. Just off the top of my head, I can think of the following:

  1. Depop
  2. eBay
  3. Poshmark
  4. Etsy
  5. Facebook Marketplace
  6. Grailed

There are dozens more platforms, many with niche audiences. Trying to sell on multiple platforms can be overwhelming, so choosing one platform and sticking with it goes a long way.

Are you tired of the word platform yet?

When deciding on a platform, consider the percentage of each sale the platform takes, the shipping logistics, seller tools, messaging capabilities, etc.
