Nice going, I did this for 2 years after covid (was made redundant). At first I was making smaller amounts but learned so much! That was key learning how and what to find best. My biggest month was spending 8 grand on stuff to resell I had bought it really kicked off. In the end I started slowing down as I found things tough when my son was born, partner was home with the baby and I was busy being a parent half the time. I knocked it on the head after the second year, paid my taxes etc but with the money I made (after my bills) i still bought things i found as a hobby for my own collection that I knew would add value, more of a hobby now as I'm back working for a company. My partner gets fed up of my massive collection of Nintendo items in the house lol but they are worth a fortune! I do miss it so much though, it paid my bills and also got my own massive collection for the future I guess.
@@Clarke2316 thats sounds great! I dont really collect. I know alot of resellers do make money to make there collection better. Ive really got the bug hard for this reselling stuff, but im single, have alot of time to invest so it keeps me busy! I think ill allways do reselling
tell her in time they will be worth a mint more than now, it's a retirement package keep them. Back in 1999 i bought panzer dragoon saga for £19.99... best investment yet along with a 93 Supra that i bought for 6k in 2009. panzer going for £600 and the non turbo supra 20k, and i'm still holding.
Thank you for the video. We started 3 months ago, with the aim of going full time in 2025. Which software do you use, to list sales & stock please? Thanks
Hi so i keep track of all my sales using google spreadsheets, its basic but does the Job. As for selling i use ebay and vinted. There both good for different reasons.
stumbled across your videos, im in the same boat, part time reseller with a full time job. Do you have a target in mind on what you would have to reach to go fulltime? I could go fulltime myself but with kids I dont want to risk the security of the jobs income. enjoying your content!!
Hi Danny, thats a good question. To be honest my best month on ebay was 5k sales which after stock, fees, postage i was left with around 1500 profit. So looking at that if i wss to go fulltime it would need to be 5000-8000 in sales a month
Security is the hard part, i think if i dropped down to part time at least that would cover my main bills car rent etc, then ot also frees alot more room for pumping up listings, sourcing stock etc
@@Frazerflips Thats the predicament, with more time will it make you alot more than the fulltime job or will there not be much more profit made. Its a good problem to have and a fun journey (or has been for me anyway). thanks for the reply.
@@dannywright5058 noproblem, im kind of hoping my youtube takes off and i have a passive income, that would help massivley with the bills to freeing more time to create videos, buy more stock etc. Snowball effect
Some things like consoles you can sell alot faster on vinted, sometimes if its a rare item ill put on both as well. Ebays bread and butter have a few hundered listings. Vinted i do things to ship fast
Keep up the grind dude. If you are unable to test a game, how do you position the sell on eBay? Do you mark it as untested etc and then cut the price to reflect?
If its an expensive game i will usually have a pile for testing, sometimes my brother comes over for a hour amd tests them all. If the game isnt high in value lile 4.95 ill put on ebay and put in description game is untested.
@@nathrjl5274 Tbh I have a testing console of each at home, so I have a ps4/xbox one/xbox 360/ Ps3/Ps2/Ps1/ Wii Etc. I can test 95% of the Games its only if i get something like sega stuff etc It can be tricky but as long as your clear in your listings you should be fine.
I offer free postage to entice people to buy, i worked out i x 4 profit on the games i buy anyway if i set at 4.95 even so all good! Even 1.50 profit per game if you sell enough adds up!!
Postage is just built into the sale price anyway. It's either £6.99 or £5+£1.99 postage you end up with the same. It catches those people that select free postage when searching for things. There's always pros and cons. Sometimes things look more expensive than it does with separated cost but people search cheapest total price. You can also get away with not doing combined postage discounts since it's already "free"
I highly appriciate your grind, but can I just ask. Wouldn't you have made the same if not more. If you just worked a full time job instead, or if you do that already. Just working overtime. 10000 gain in a year, just seems to be so much effort. For basically scraps.
HI so I actually work full time, this is a side hustle. So its all extra income. I eventually want to do this full time however I'm not at that scale of the business yet.
@@Supraboyes Keeps me busy yeah I work through the week doing forklifting so very mundane indeed! I love reselling the thrill of finding something is the best bit!
Are you using Royal Mail? I average 5 sales per day in games but spending £1.90 post per game (large letter)...just wondering if I am missing a trick somewhere
Hi so royal mail is 1.9 for 100-250g which is most games and manual, however of your sending minimum 20 a week u can sign up for royal mail business account and get cheaper rates. I dont do this as you have to go to a post office i believe to sort out orders i have too many.
@@Frazerflips i have shipped 19 orders over yesterday and today and i must admit...standing in the post office sending them all is becoming unrealistic.
Honestly i even print my own labels (label printer is a must) and even then if there a 5 quid game half time ill just throw it in post box. Unless the game is of value and i want tracking etc
Just a small tip, if you send more then 25 parcels a week, and print your own labels then sign up to Royal Mail account, worth it for the collections alone. They pick up daily from me.
@@JasonOsgood-jf2xz Don't know if you know, but you can do it online and the postie will come pick them up, they'll even bring the stickers. It's a lot quicker and no need for a post office.
This actually blows my mind. I am part time reselling along my full time job and a Toddler and have a few thousand but nothing like yours. Well done mate. I just source from charity shops and Vinted so it’s very slow but I don’t have the time for car boots unfortunately.
Id definatley say try a carboot, charity shops are so hit and miss and the price has gone up massivley.. another thing you could do to get your stock is join local facebook groups which give things away for free. Ive picked up consoles, tvs all sorts for free.

Just trying to give an insite to the reselling lifestyle
Great video mate. Well done.
Crazy beginning of the year defo gonna smash the target
Just got to keep pushing and grinding. Cant wait for sucsess to happen!
The way your going you will have hit your target by the 9 month mark, depending on stock levels you might hit 10k in one month in December.
Keep smashing it mate!
Cheers buddy! Hope your well!
nice!!! keep grinding my dude :D your doing well
What are those little stands you use to put your games on with your listings please? They look really cool.
I cant remember which one I bought, but if you search "Acrylic Game/DVD Display Stand" you should find some similar results. Only cost me 5 or 6 quid.
@@Frazerflips Thank you
Hey frazerflips is it just games your flipping ? Jason 👍
Hi i do flip board games, electronics etc but i find gaming stock so easy that 80% of what i sell is game related.
@@Frazerflips well I have a load of stuff if your interested mate I live in sankey Warrington 👍

so ebay and postage fees really take a huge chunk, how many hours have you put into that as well
Id probably say 2 to 3 hours a day some days 4 or 5 however ive had 2 weeks off this year plus a few days ive done nothing.
Class mate, what makes you list on Vinted vs Ebay? Especially when Vinted doesn't have seller fees?
Some things like consoles you can sell alot faster on vinted, sometimes if its a rare item ill put on both as well.
Ebays bread and butter have a few hundered listings. Vinted i do things to ship fast

@@Frazerflips ah you lucky man haha. Cheers dude. Do you find untested goes for less?
@@nathrjl5274 Of course untested goes for less. If you know and have proof a game is working the buyer has more piece of mind
What’s your reasoning behind not charging for postage?
You’re not at the level of TH-cam revenue yet right? Any sponsor offers?
I offer free postage to entice people to buy, i worked out i x 4 profit on the games i buy anyway if i set at 4.95 even so all good! Even 1.50 profit per game if you sell enough adds up!!
