Know the resale route before buying
Decide where and how you expect to resell the item, what buyer will want it and what condition standard you need to reach.
Verify seller and listing evidence
Read the full description, inspect every photo and check what is included. Ask questions when an important detail is missing.
Build the full cost base
Purchase price is only the start. Add inbound postage, cleaning, parts, packaging, marketplace costs and outbound fulfilment.
Set your maximum purchase price
Work backwards from a conservative expected sale price and the minimum profit you want to keep.
Have an exit plan for a slow item
Know the quick-sale price or acceptable offer floor before capital becomes stuck in stock.
