How to Start Reselling in the UK

Reselling is a margin skill. Train your eye on sold comps, buy with a max price, and list with ruthless clarity on condition.

The buy rule

Max buy = expected sale − fees − time buffer. No number, no buy. “It feels cheap” is not a system.

Listings that sell

• Clear photos in natural light
• Measurements and flaws disclosed
• Honest condition notes
• Price that leaves room to negotiate without killing margin

Pick a niche

Random buys feel busy. A niche builds speed: you learn what sells, what sizes move, and where to source.
