Thrift is In!

We have seen the growth of popularity of upscale second hand stores. They are clean, well organized, and attractive, and not the dusty relics we remember sneaking into when we were younger. They are also very selective about what they will buy, usually sticking to well known brand names.

Read more about how thrift is in here!

This works well, properly marketed in the offline, brick and mortar world. So how about translating that into online sales?

What About Online Second Hand Shops?

Can you source good quality, used products for use in ecommerce? Lots of people are searching for brand names, like Abercrombie and American Eagle, online. This includes looking for websites in the search engines, or even EBay and other auction sellers. So how about if you kick in with the great deal deal on gently used.

Since so many of us started online by cleaning out our own closests, this is such a natural leap. But it is a leap that most people miss. It is actually much simpler than buying new items in bulk. You can probably put out the word, and have plenty to buy in your own neighborhood.

Most offline thrift stores sell brand name clothes, for example, at about a third of the new price. They pay sellers about a third of that. So that Abercrombie blouse that sells for $42 new, night go for $15 used. And it is probably purchased for about $5.

But consider that offline stores have a lot more overhead than you will. So you may be able to pay a bit more and sell for a bit less. The important thing is to do your reseach, which is really easy to do with resources like EBay completed items. Also remember, you must charge for shipping. But that is probably a lot cheaper than hiring employees and paying rent on a building.

You are probably concerned about the uncertain job market and financial instability today. This problem is even more acute with older workers. People over 55 have an even higher unemployment rate than younger workers in this tough job market even though most of them have lots of high quality experience!

You can read more about this here: Over 55 Unemployment.

Why do we mention this? Well, part of the reason that we mention it is because this trend also means that more older workers are finding a solution to this problem with their own businesses.

O.k., so I would like to create a webstore. I have a dropshipper, if someone say from Georgia orders one of my products, do I charge them taxes? How does it work? Does anyone know where I can get the “Dummy guide” for this situation?

I am looking for a company that has been around for years and is legit.

I would be very careful with dropshipping look at http://www.dropshippingsucks.com and see what I am talking about. It is going to be hard to make a profit with an out-of-the-box online dropshipping program. There are so many people and so few dropshippers the market is flooded with people trying to make money in the drop ship game.
I recommend you keep reading and learning before you invest any money into any program.

I went through lists of hundreds from scammers on eBay and other sites online. It’s hard to find any company whos reputable and not looking to scam you out of your money. After months of searching I found http://www.BuyatDiscounts.com who’s actually a free dropshipper. They have other programs as well on the site. If you care to find out more go to their “about us” page. After the million scams I found on the net, it was nice to bump into a company that actually cared. Good luck… (let me know if you need any help). Free dropshipping is hard to find so give them a shot.
