]]>Know right away how much time you’re willing to invest in flipping certain items. If the thrift clothes you stumbled upon require too much work, consider going with a less challenging project that won’t be so time-consuming.
Some people like upcycling second-hand clothes because it’s a fun adventure, while others do it to save money. Unfortunately, putting a DIY twist on your thrift store finds doesn’t always come cheap. Try to do a calculation in your head on the spot, and if you think you’d spend more money than on a brand-new item—just leave it be.
Finding a dress or a shirt at your favorite thrift store doesn’t necessarily mean you should transform it into a different dress or shirt. Some second-hand pieces of clothing are worth buying for the fabrics alone, and you can later use them to make pretty much anything.

]]>A peer-to-peer social shopping app, Depop lets you find used, secondhand, vintage, and homemade clothing from the comfort of… anywhere. It’s especially popular among some pretty hip and trendy millennials and Gen Zers, so it’s definitely possible to find really cute clothes and accessories.
A U.S.-based social commerce marketplace, Poshmark lets Americans buy and sell used clothes, shoes, and accessories. The shipping is a bit pricey, but it has a great search and an offer feature that makes it easy to bargain without any of the awkwardness.
An online thrift and consignment store, shopping on ThredUp is just like shopping on any other e-commerce website, but the items are secondhand. The best part is the search function, which lets you narrow down everything from brand to size to color, making it way easier to find what you’re looking for than in a traditional thrift store.

]]>There’s a lot of different ways to do a clothing swap. You can get a group of your friends together to meet up for one swap session in which everybody brings clothes they don’t wear anymore and can take home up to as many items as they bring. Or you can do it digitally, starting a group chat where people can post photos of items they’re willing to give away, coordinating exchanges one-on-one with whoever is interested in a particular item.
However you decide to do your clothing swap, it’s a great way to refresh your wardrobe while being environmentally-friendly. Plus it has the benefit of encouraging you to clear your closet of anything you’re not showing much love to for somebody else to enjoy and get more use out of. Best of all, you can make a whole night of it with some music and wine and runway walks.
So who needs to even leave the house to go all the way to a thrift store after all?

]]>The most obvious reason why you shouldn’t buy a used mattress is that you never know where it’s been, who’s slept on it, and how dirty it is. On the other hand, there is a good reason why someone is selling a used mattress and it’s very possible that’s because the mattress is uncomfortable.
Another thing you definitely don’t want to save your money on is tires. Used tires can be up to 50% cheaper than new ones, but you can never entirely inspect their condition and they could have some minor or major internal damages. Using these tires could be very dangerous, so it’s better to invest in new ones.
Buying used electronics such as television, DVD players, smartphones, or laptops is always a risky game. You never know if they work properly, and fixing broken electronics can be much more expensive than buying a new thing. On the other hand, if you need a cheap laptop only to play music, for example, and you find a good deal that sounds great.

]]>There’s no guarantee you’ll be able to find exactly what you’re looking for, but having a list of things you want will make it easier to focus in a thrift store. If you don’t specifically need anything, you can include cute decor items like vintage lamps, plant pots, art, etc.
Thrifting can be frustrating or so much fun—depends on your attitude. Understand that it’s a treasure hunt and don’t get impatient if you don’t find anything exciting right away. Who knows what you will find if you just dig a bit deeper!
Aside from art and general decor items, thrift stores can hide some amazing kitchen gems. Whether you repurpose vintage dishes and glasses or get them simply as decorative items, we’re sure they will make your kitchen and your entire home so much more interesting and nice.

]]>To set yourself above other resellers, you need to have a clear picture of your brand. The customer needs to be able to understand your personal style to continue shopping your looks.
The clothing you sell doesn’t need to be designer; it should be a mix of vintage and things that are new with tags. Shop your local thrift stores, garage sales, flea markets, and eBay.
Make sure you get your clothing from all angles and that you capture the details that make each item unique. Your background should be the same in all the shots and you can use yourself our your friends as models for the clothes.
You’ll make money by selling an item at double or triple what you spent. Don’t expect to make back the retail price for an item and be aware that some retail sites require you to pay transaction and shipping fees.
