Customer Reviews
Please ask about inventory!
Hello, I like the podcast so far, definitely a podcast that is needed.
I wish you had standard questions that you always asked. I really want to know about how sellers go about acquiring inventory, especially when people sell vintage items.
Examples:
1-When you first started how/where did you go about acquiring inventory?
2-How has it changed now that you’ve grown?
Interesting podcast
Host does a solid job, and the guests are interesting. Wish they were longer.
EXCELLENT………
