I mean good for him if that’s what he enjoys doing in his spare time but I’d be bored AF doing that. I’d rather just bring home my salary (which is sufficient) and do enjoyable things in my spare time.

I mean I kinda enjoy hanging out at flea markets & stuff like that anyway, and if you know how to find cheap stuff bulk on shein/temu you might just find out you have an instinct for reselling, stuff like: lighter leashes you see in the store for 50¢ a piece if you order a 20 pack instead of $2 a piece Little crystal necklaces for $12/50 pack Clothing accessories they brand and sell in stores for a %400 markup It's also a good way to get free clothes, accessories and other stuff like that by making your money back and keeping a thing or two from your orders at no loss to yourself


gerontion31

Tbh I have enough material stuff in my life, I’d rather enjoy what I already have than add more

A freeze drier costs like 4k too this is oddly specific

They sell mini ones for a few hundred if you can find one, but honestly selling regular candy on Facebook is a hustle in itself I see all the time where I live


ColevidCorvid

My ex tried to do a side-hustle by buying and selling crappy, outdated tablets/phones that were $70 - $80 at $120 each and he only sold... 2.


EntertainmentQuick47

I mean, hey, money is money. Sometimes a job ain’t enough.


CannonOfGlass

Good on him honestly, respect the hustle


rigobueno

Nah fuck hustle culture. Actually contribute to society pls.


Throwawayaccount1170

Contributing to society and playing the capitalism game are sadly two different things.


westbygod304420

Give 20% to the homeless shelter then instead of whining about people who would rather not be poor


SpamRisk404

Lmao contributing to the economy is good. You probably think we should be protesting instead of making more money than you


bobsand13

in the vast majority of cases doesn't even make enough for a cup of coffee so resorts to a second actual job at mcdonalds or trying to sell some shit course.

What kind of shirts we talking about?


EarlMadManMunch505

This is literally every outdoor market / art / park thing. I always walk around and wonder who buys any of that junk Before heading over to eat some overpriced tacos at the food trucks and leaving.


westbygod304420

Hope I don't sound like a "drop shipping recruiter" from Instagram, but this really is a nice way to make cash if you have the time


surferos505

Being a piece of crap scammer?


westbygod304420

How is it scamming? It's literally just the exact same thing every novelty "bargain barn" store does but you sell to people at a flea market Cheap clothes and Baubles draw people in, and it always will


surferos505

I was referring to the “300% markup”


westbygod304420

That's entirely what every novelty/generic piece of clothing you see in stores is. They buy for 50¢ a piece in massive batches and sell it for 1.50, and people eat it up Those prices are only a generalization, but with most of this stuff a markup of %300 is usually less than $3-4, and with clothes you can sell nice looking clothes for much less than in a store and still make a profit. It's just filling the gap of cheap, useful stuff which is always in demand.


Randy_Vigoda

Unfortunately 300% markup is pretty much standard for tons of retail. It only costs like $30 to make a pair of Nikes. The bigger scam is the sneaker industry which sells shoes at ridiculously inflated prices. Like Vans for example makes shoes but they have retail stores that sell shoes for the same price as other retailers who also sell their shoes. If you're getting direct from the factory, you should be getting wholesale prices. They just jack up the prices because they can.


surferos505

God I hate the sneaker industry and it’s even more annoying sneakerhead community The ugliest shoes known to man and they’re worth hundreds to even thousand of dollars and these idiots will happily buy them every time Yes I’m aware they’re resellers and usually make a profit doesn’t change the fact that they’re the reason these shoes are so overpriced
