Selling Hard Goods

Hey - wondering who out there is also reselling hard goods? I know most of us here are clothing and shoe resellers. However, I've been a hard goods seller for decades, I just switched over to clothes and shoes a few years ago, well added clothes and shoes, not actually switched over really. I focus primarily on clothes and shoes now. But I've started to kinda lean back into hard goods a bit. One reason is that it does seem that GW doesnt really care about pulling vintage items and other valuable hard goods including electronics from the shelves for their auctions. Also, hard goods require a different knowledge base so there appears to me to be less competition. And third, there just seems to me to be more and more people who are getting into reselling through selling used clothing, because lets face it, in a thrift store, its the category that has the most volume in each store.

I do understand hard goods like vintage items, pyrex, etc requires a specific audience and most vintage items are a bit of a long tail. But it's been my experience that there is more money to be made in selling some of the better hard good items. What do you all think?
