   Reselling | Vintage Is Up 432%: Breaking Down The RealReal's 2026 Resale Report

   The Real Real Resale Report (https://the-realreal.cdn.prismic.io/the-realreal/UiY4A0yZg7jjc8rR_TheRealReal_2026_Resale_Report-1-.pdf), Plus Vinted wins, bad pallets, a Poshmark suspension, and our Dallas thrift brunch with Vendoo. Vendoo is sponsoring our Dallas event! Want to get involved, be interviewed, or help two very non–Type A hosts with admin? Email us at hello@doyouwantthetruthpod.com Summary Amanda and Sam are back from summer break and going through The RealReal's 2026 Resale Report (https://the-realreal.cdn.prismic.io/the-realreal/UiY4A0yZg7jjc8rR_TheRealReal_2026_Resale_Report-1-.pdf) as they read it. They cover vintage demand, the brands and bags heating up, why "fair condition" is a real search strategy, and what it all means for your keywords. They also share their reseller highs and lows: a $500 Vinted sale with no fees, a run of bad pallets, and a 24-hour Poshmark suspension. Episode description We're back! After a summer that nearly took us out, Amanda and Sam catch up on Whatnot life, 1,500 unlisted Vendoo drafts, and the brunch and thrift event we're hosting in Dallas with #Vendoo. Then we open The RealReal's 2026 Resale Report together for the first time, live. Vintage demand is up 432% since 2020, and the '90s are still on top. Shoppers are searching for "fair" condition on purpose so they can get worn-in leather for less. Matthieu Blazy's searches are up almost 11,000% since he joined Chanel. And the Louis Vuitton Neverfull everyone keeps calling "basic"? Still going up. We also get into the city-by-city trends, the bags predicted to be future resale stars, and why the report convinced us to put celebrity names and aesthetic keywords in your listings. We also cover whether Q4 is really slow for resellers (not for us), picking up Shein at the thrift, and how to build a natural-fiber fall wardrobe. Our tips: feel everything, check the tags, and stop buying polyester sweaters. We close with our reseller highs and lows. Amanda finally broke through on Vinted, and Sam scored a Vera Wang wedding dress at a half-off sale in Colorado. The lows: back-to-back bad pallets and another 24-hour Poshmark suspension, which is exactly why you should be cross-listing. Whether you're flipping for profit on Poshmark, eBay, Depop, Whatnot, or Vinted, or just thrifting smarter for yourself, this one's full of data you can use.

   Reselling | She Quit Teaching and Doubled Her Income Reselling Vintage

   Morgan (Effies Home https://www.tiktok.com/@effieshome?lang=en (https://www.tiktok.com/@effieshome?lang=en)) spent seven years teaching high school history — 40 kids in a classroom, no support from administration, and a take-home salary of about $23,000 a year. She was also seven years into an undiagnosed Lyme disease infection. Then she found a vintage Escada skirt at a thrift store, figured out she could sell it, and resigned in 2022.

We get into the stuff resellers usually skip: what it actually costs to scale, why buying pallets is a worse starting point than everyone on TikTok makes it look, and the five things genuinely worth investing in (a CPA, cross-listing and automation software, a real storage system, good lighting, and a thermal printer that does not need to be expensive). Morgan also talks about why reselling works so well for people with chronic illness, the ADHD-versus-OCD diagnosis mess she's currently untangling, and how a master's in history turned into an edge for dating vintage pieces. Plus: why you should have your fall and Halloween inventory listed already, the eBay sell-through rate trap nobody warns you about (you're only seeing 90 days, so off-season comps lie to you), whether to claim inventory the year you buy it or the year it sells, and an honest conversation about spouse income — because all three of them have one, and pretending otherwise is how reselling content gets sold as something it isn't.

   Reselling | @Bolotrends Built a Database of 5,000 Reseller Keywords So You Don't Have to Guess

   Mmuso of Bolo Trends on titling smarter with real search data, the $1,000+ Persian rug flip, and why "style-based selling" beats brand names Follow Bolo Trends across social media and sign up for the free newsletter at bolotrends.com (http://bolotrends.com) for weekly keyword insights straight to your inbox. Summary: Data analyst and Bolo Trends founder Mmuso joins Sam and Amanda to break down how actual Google search data — not vibes, not AI guessing — should be driving your titles and sourcing decisions. Plus: the wild story behind his wife's four-figure Persian rug flip, found through a niche Facebook group before they even won the auction. Description: Sam runs her reselling business off pure vibes. Mmuso runs his off fifteen months of search data across nearly 5,000 keywords. This episode is what happens when those two philosophies collide — and honestly, Sam walks away converted. Mmuso, a business intelligence data analyst by trade and founder of Bolo Trends, explains how he's building what he calls the world's largest reseller demand intelligence database — tracking exactly what buyers are typing into Google, down to the difference between "graduation dress" (600K+ monthly searches) and "off-shoulder top" (a fraction of that). No AI guessing, no generic keyword tools spitting out "corporate chic minimalist" nonsense — just real buyer demand signals resellers can actually use to title and price smarter. The conversation dives into style-based selling: why leading with a brand name like Forever 21 or Shein can actually hurt your listing, and why construction, material, and fit often sell better than a logo ever will. Mmuso also shares the incredible story of his wife's Persian rug flip — sourced through a niche Facebook group, sold to a buyer before the estate sale auction even closed, netting over $1,000 with zero money fronted. Whether you're deep into flipping for profit on Poshmark, eBay, or Depop, or you're just trying to stop guessing on your titles and keywords, this episode is full of practical, data-backed strategy for your reselling side hustle. Mmuso also talks about where the industry might be headed next, from Substack to potential paid tiers for deeper keyword data.

   Reselling: 101. What We'd Tell You If You Were Just Starting Out

   Amanda and Sam tackle reseller 101 — the advice they'd give a friend who wants to start. Amanda's approach: start on Poshmark, sell what's already in your closet, roll that money into sourcing, never go into debt for inventory. Sam's counterpoint: invest early in a thermal printer, cross-listing software, and dedicated storage, because the up-front $150 pays for itself. The bulk of the episode is tactical — photo setup, title formulas (Amanda's is brand-forward, Sam's leans style and fabric), keyword strategy for platform search, and how much detail is actually worth your time. Amanda makes the case that she did all the "right" things for two years, then stripped back to the bare minimum and still sells. Sam runs measurements on everything after learning the hard way that people tailor their jeans. They compare PrimeLister, Nifty, and Vendoo honestly, including the sales dip Amanda saw after switching, and both land on PrimeLister as the beginner recommendation. Amanda's best reframe of the episode: stop resenting platform fees — you're paying for a built-in audience you'd otherwise spend thousands acquiring. Also covered: PO boxes and seller safety, the laundering debate, delisting discipline and what a below-standard eBay rating costs you, and why ambassador and star seller badges matter more than the "it doesn't matter" crowd claims. Closes with crowdsourced advice from listeners — hire a CPA, learn your fabrics, and check sell-through before you buy the 99-cent find. __________________ A friend texts you: "I want to start reselling — where do I even begin?" This episode is our answer. Amanda and Sam break down reseller 101 from two very different angles. Amanda starts everyone on Poshmark and preaches selling what you already own before you spend a dollar sourcing. Sam went the other way, invested up front, and has opinions about thermal printers, storage units, and why your tech stack matters more than you think. We get into: which platform to start on and why (Poshmark, eBay, Depop, Mercari, Vinted, Vestiaire, Etsy), the cross-listing software debate — PrimeLister vs. Nifty vs. Vendoo, and what happened when Amanda switched — how to take listing photos that don't get you a return, title formulas and keyword strategy for platform SEO, whether measurements are worth your time, the perspective shift on platform fees that'll stop you resenting that 20%, why you need a PO box before you share your closet publicly, the laundering debate (and why we've both mostly stopped), delisting, bans, and how to protect your seller rating, and the ambassador and star seller badges people say don't matter — but do. Plus crowdsourced advice from the reselling community: hire a CPA, learn your fabrics, and remember that a 99-cent thrift find still costs you time. We're not experts. We just have receipts. Coming up: monthly lives on our Substack, plus Musso from Bolo Trends next week.

It's Jen — and she's never once reached out to a client to get there.

   Reselling | $2K of Maui Jims in 24 Hours, Selling to the Juicy Couture Co-Founder & Ebbs and Flows

   A $2K Maui Jim pallet flip, selling to a Juicy Couture co-founder, and the ebbs and flows nobody talks about — plus Whatnot's shipping change and meetups on the way. Reselling is all highs and lows — and this episode is proof. Amanda opened a pallet expecting junk sunglasses and found hundreds of Maui Jims: $2,000 in 24 hours on eBay, whole pallet paid off in eight hours. Sam had her own peak — a thrifted skirt that sold to a Juicy Couture co-founder — the night after she'd convinced herself she was bad at this. This week the two get into the reality of the ebbs and flows: why one bad show doesn't mean you're failing, why Sam doesn't look at comps (and how that got her $2,100 for a fur coat), and how pricing with a little audacity pays off. Plus: the Whatnot flat rate box change hitting August 1st, the consignment rule you should never break, and a few big things coming — a pallet giveaway, a monthly live pod, and a Dallas reseller meetup in September. New episodes weekly.

   Reselling| From the Courtroom to the Closet: How CasaChic Left Law To Built Her Business

   This week we're sitting down with Julie Shapiro of Casa Chic — a reseller who's been doing this since 2000, long before anyone called it a side hustle. Julie left her career as a trial lawyer (she still practices on the side) to stay home with her kids, started selling her own clothes on eBay, told a few friends on a park bench, and never looked back. Now over two decades later, her kids are grown, her January just hit her second-highest Poshmark month ever, and she's still going strong. In this episode we get into everything: how Julie built a word-of-mouth consignment reselling business from the ground up, why she's selective about who she takes on as consignment clients (and why "desperate" sellers are a red flag), and how she went from knowing nothing about thrifting to treating it like surgery — focused, intentional, and no filming allowed. We also get into the messy financial reality behind flashy six-figure seller claims, why retail arbitrage math doesn't always add up the way people think, and whether sharing everything on social media is cannibalizing our own market. Plus, Julie shares her controversial reseller habits — three-day handling, no returns on eBay, and trusting her gut over comps — and why they work for her after 25 years of flipping for profit. If you're a mom wondering how to start reselling, trying to figure out if reselling is worth it, or a seasoned thrifter looking to sharpen your sourcing strategy, this episode is for you. For the high/low of the week: a tricky Poshmark case, a record-breaking January, an eBay return that's probably a lie, and the garage that is finally — finally — clean.

    Reselling |$1.5M in Poshmark sales & $0 Debt ft. Ruth Ramsey on luxury flipping, margins & scaling

    She hit 1.5 million in gross Poshmark sales (on average $450k annually) and she did it debt-free, without a color-coded bin system, and with the government holding her passport hostage. Ruth Ramsey (Ruthless Reselling) joins Sam and Amanda to pull back the curtain on what a real luxury reselling business actually looks like — and surprise, it doesn't involve tissue paper bows or a laminated inventory spreadsheet. Ruth came up in corporate fashion buying at Neiman Marcus and JCPenney before leaving it all behind to build a full-time reselling business on Poshmark and Whatnot. Last year alone she cleared $400K in sales while maintaining 50-60% profit margins — and she's here to talk about how she actually does it. In this episode: Ruth's pivot from Neiman's buying office to full-time reseller (and why she thinks Neiman's Saks merger was a disaster) How she sources luxury pieces for pennies on the dollar and flips Zimmermann for 3-4x her cost Why she refuses to do measurements, tissue paper, or complicated inventory systems — and why her business thrives anyway The real talk on The RealReal, ThredUp, and Whatnot as exit strategies for slow-movers Why she's stayed on one platform (mostly) and what almost changed that when Poshmark suspended her account The "don't get into debt" advice she wishes more new resellers heard How three very different sellers — pallets, vintage luxury, and brand-focused Poshmark — can all run wildly successful businesses their own weird way Plus: a mystery buyer who mailed Ruth a printed dictionary definition of "liar," eBay's secret price-dropping toggle, and why Sam has 1,000+ unlisted pieces sitting in storage. Whether you're just starting out or figuring out how to scale without losing your mind, this episode is the permission slip you didn't know you needed.

    Reselling | Should You Listen to Online Experts?

    Sam and Amanda are here to share what they know — and the first thing they'll tell you is not to take their word as gospel. Afterall, reselling is a lot like parenting. Everyone has their own flavor that works for them and their family. In this episode, they dig into the ThredUp resale market report (https://www.thredup.com/resale) and have a candid conversation about one of reselling's biggest pitfalls: blindly following advice. They break down which brands are actually selling (including some that "experts" tell you to skip), why checking comps matters, and why someone else's experience with a brand says more about their business than the market. They also tease some incredible upcoming guests — including a seller who's moved $1.5M on Poshmark and another who hit $300K on Whatnot in under a year. Take what resonates, leave what doesn't — and enjoy the ride. https://www.thredup.com/cleanout/earnings (https://www.thredup.com/cleanout/earnings)

    Reselling | From Side Hustle to Flexible Career

    🎧 New episodes drop every Wednesday. In the very first episode of The Truth About Reselling, hosts Amanda Anderson (⁠@amanda.commonthreads⁠ (https://www.tiktok.com/@amanda.commonthreads)) and Sam Strom (⁠@samanthastorms⁠ (https://www.tiktok.com/@samanthastorms)) get candid about how reselling actually works in real life — motherhood, burnout, ADHD brains, algorithms, money fears, and all. This podcast series is for people looking for a flexible, lucrative career — one that can adapt to real life instead of demanding burnout, perfection, or hustle-culture nonsense. In this episode, Amanda and Sam share how two very different paths led them into reselling — and why it stuck when traditional jobs didn’t. Amanda breaks down her journey from a failed COVID-era boutique to a six-figure reselling business across Whatnot, traditional platforms, and social media, all while raising four kids. Sam opens up about stepping away from corporate tech and VC-backed startups, navigating motherhood burnout, and finding a more sustainable way to earn. They talk candidly about: Why reselling attracts ADHD and non-linear thinkers Posting daily vs. selling smarter (and what algorithms actually reward) Pallets, thrifting, bins, arbitrage, and high-end sourcing — without gatekeeping The emotional weight of financial dependence and career pivots What really happens when a reselling video goes viral Why there is no single “right” way to resell — and why that’s powerful Whether you’re exploring a career pivot, building a side hustle, or scaling what you already have, this episode sets the tone for the series: honest, practical, and refreshingly human.
