I’ve always loved the hunt.
I started antiquing with my grandma when I was about 7, walking through little shops and finding treasures before I even knew what “reselling” was. By 2010, I was already selling things in local Facebook groups before Marketplace even existed.
Life took me in a different direction for a while.
I somehow made it through college and became a social worker for adults with developmental disabilities. I truly thought I found my forever career. I spent 7 years at my first “big girl job,” and for a long time it felt right. But over time, things changed. People left. Expectations changed. The work changed. The environment changed. It got heavier, harder, and more draining, and I realized I was being pushed toward a breaking point.
As much as I hate change, I was forced to make one - not because I wanted to, but because my mental and emotional health depended on it. I took a new job in the same field, thinking maybe it would feel different.
During that transition, I had more free time, so I wandered back into thrift stores. Just browsing at first. Then I started seeing videos of people who had been reselling on eBay for 20+ years and thought… why didn’t I think of this sooner?
So I jumped back in.
I started reselling my thrifted finds part time. I’m great at sourcing (and honestly I love it), but photography and listing aren’t always my favorite even though I’m super picky about my photos.
This year, something really hit me.
Helping others was starting to hurt me. I care too much. I don’t know how to say no. I take on people’s stress and pain without even meaning to. I also prefer staying in the shadows instead of being “seen.” I rarely post myself because I’m shy, but I want to change that. I want to be my real, authentic self instead of masking.
I want to be surrounded by kind, caring, like-minded people. People who aren’t rude, judgmental, or assuming. People who like learning, growing, and enjoying the little things, like thrifted finds and hidden gems.
So long story short:
I’m building this page as my safe space for all things reselling. A place where I can be myself, share what I love, and connect with people who get it.
I am only 3 followers away from 200, and I couldn’t be more grateful.
Thank you for supporting me, following along, and letting me share a part of my world with you.
