Hi all. Just wondered if anyone here sells vintage clothing or if vintage clothing is something any of you source for ebay? If so, how does it fare? Is it too expensive to source to make a profit? Do you make a profit? Break even? Or lose money when you resell it? Just curious. Thanks in advance.

I’ve been in the group a little over a week now. Excited to be here and look forward to learning. Why did you decide to join our group? -Going all in on selling clothing on eBay What valuable experiences or skills do you bring to the table? - I have a passion for process improvement and creating software solutions that solve problems. Is there anything holding you back that we can assist with? -Not as of right now! My wife and I have been on several thrifting trips and we’re learning as we go.

This is my first year reselling, and each month is a new experience for me. Last month I doubled the previous months profit, but this month is a whole lot slower. I assume it'll be slow this month and then pick up again next month since it's right after back to school and most people have done their shopping. But just curious to see how everyone else is doing and what the busier months tend to be 😊

Ok. So a few weeks ago I switched over all clothing in my store that I could to have flat rate shipping... much the same as @Beau Johnson has. $7.99 for clothing less than 1 lb, $9.99 for clothing between 1 to 3 lbs and $14.99 for clothing 3 to 5 lbs. I thought this would not cause me any headaches....I was wrong. I know @Jerry Wilson in Florida has pretty much these same prices. I am in Wisconsin. Here is my dilemma. I have had to "eat" some costs this week since my labels on a few sales were more than what I set the flat rate to be. For example, today I sold a 3x Carhartt chore jacket for $49.99. Since this weighed between 4-5 lbs when boxed, the buyer was charged flat rate of $14.99. However, the buyer lives in Alaska and shipping turned out to be $23.96. So where I thought this was going to meet my metric ($10 profit per item at least) without any issue, after fees and all...I made about $10.74. Just clearing my metric. ??? On a different item I sold for $26.49 also today, the item was 1-3 lbs when boxed. So buyer paid $9.99 for shipping, but the shipping turned out to cost $15.42.... so again I had to "eat" a bit. Can someone please help? What am I doing wrong that my S/H works out to be more than my flat rate price on some items? I haven't heard anyone else stating they are having this issue when set up with flat rate pricing. Makes me want to go back to calculated shipping. So frustrating.....

My sweet partner sometimes struggles folding shirts to her satisfaction. Kinda particular, that one. I know that there are shirt folding rigs that look like they can make a perfect fold every time. After some YT research I bought one to be delivered tomorrow. I will update ya’ll after we get this thing all set up and tested. This may be the best or worst $20 spent in a while.
