    Start a Reselling Business From $0 (Real Strategy That Works)

    Join 3200+ Resellers in our $5 Reseller Mastermind Community and learn how to flip auction and liquidation goods for profit here: https://www.shannonjean.info/5MM Check out my Free Auction Starter Guide at https://www.shannonjean.com/auctions and Free Newsletter at https://shannon-jean.kit.com/ In this episode, we break down one of the most important truths in reselling: you don’t need money to get started. We dive into real strategies for launching a reselling business from $0, starting with items you already own and learning how to sell before you ever invest in inventory. From Facebook Marketplace to eBay, the focus is on building real sales skills first — listing, pricing, customer communication, and closing deals. We also explore how beginners get overwhelmed when dealing with too many low-value items — like hundreds of unsold toys — and how to solve that fast through bundling, wholesaling, or using live selling platforms to move inventory quickly. Another key topic is scaling smarter. Instead of listing items one by one, we discuss how grouping products, selling in bulk, or partnering with other resellers can dramatically reduce workload and increase speed. We also break down important fundamentals most beginners ignore: Why you should start with what you already own How to avoid getting stuck with slow-moving inventory When it makes sense to open an eBay store How to handle taxes, sales reporting, and unsellable inventory Why AI tools can accelerate your research — but shouldn’t replace your judgment One of the biggest takeaways is this: reselling is a problem-solving business. The more you understand your products, your market, and your numbers, the more profitable you become. If you’ve been waiting to start because you think you need money — this episode will change how you think.

    He Built an Appliance Business From Scratch in 60 Days (No Experience)

    Join 3200+ Resellers in our $5 Reseller Mastermind Community and learn how to flip auction and liquidation goods for profit here: https://www.shannonjean.info/5MM Check out my Free Auction Starter Guide at https://www.shannonjean.com/auctions and Free Newsletter at https://shannon-jean.kit.com/ In this episode, I sit down with Yancy Forsythe, who went from zero experience in appliances to building a fast-growing resale business in just a couple of months. What makes this story so powerful is that Yancy didn’t come from the industry — he simply took action, placed his first bids, and figured everything out along the way. We start with his first bold move: bidding on liquidation auctions with no prior knowledge. Yancy shares how he won his first lots — including refrigerators and wine coolers — and the reality that hit when those items actually arrived. From logistics challenges like unloading trucks without equipment to storing inventory in his own garage, this is a raw look at what getting started really looks like. One of the biggest lessons from his journey is learning through mistakes. His first deals didn’t generate profit — they were about breaking even and gaining experience. But those early sales revealed something important: customer demand. Buyers kept asking for washers, dryers, and more appliances, which pushed him to expand into full truckloads and diversify his inventory. We also dive into sourcing strategies, including the differences between platforms like B-Stock and working directly with appliance wholesalers. Yancy explains how buying truckloads improved his margins, but also introduced new risks — like receiving lower-quality inventory or handling floor-loaded shipments with no pallets. A key part of his growth has been marketing. Instead of running ads, Yancy built traction organically through Facebook Marketplace and creative strategies like giveaways. By offering free appliances in exchange for engagement (likes, comments, shares), he rapidly grew his audience and converted that attention into real sales. Another major advantage in his business is offering warranties. By combining manufacturer warranties with extended coverage, he increases buyer confidence and differentiates himself from typical marketplace sellers — turning one-time buyers into repeat customers. We also break down his current sales system, from using a simple inventory catalog to pre-qualify buyers, to scheduling appointments instead of operating a traditional storefront. This approach filters serious buyers and keeps operations manageable while he balances a full-time job and real estate investments.

    I Went “Auction Shopping” LIVE… Here’s What I’d Actually Buy (and Avoid)

    Join 3200+ Resellers in our $5 Reseller Mastermind Community and learn how to flip auction and liquidation goods for profit here: https://www.shannonjean.info/5MM Check out my Free Auction Starter Guide at https://www.shannonjean.com/auctions and Free Newsletter at https://shannon-jean.kit.com/ In this episode, I take you inside a real-time “auction shopping” session — breaking down live liquidation deals, pallets, and truckloads to show you exactly how to evaluate inventory before you buy. Instead of theory, this is a practical deep dive into how resellers actually think when looking at deals — from Target pallets and Costco returns to appliances, camping gear, and even luxury health & beauty products. We walk through real listings together and break down what makes a deal worth buying… and what makes it a complete waste of time. One of the biggest takeaways? If you’re buying without a manifest, you’re gambling. I explain why scaling a reselling business requires predictable, data-backed decisions — not “mystery box” guessing — and how understanding the numbers is what separates profitable resellers from beginners who lose money. We also dive into how to think about inventory strategy: Why selling bulk or live (Whatnot/TikTok) can outperform listing items one-by-one How to quickly calculate if a deal is profitable using simple math Why your goal should be to recover your investment FAST by selling high-value items first The hidden risk of customer returns (especially electronics and appliances) How condition labels like “Used Good” and “Fair” can make or break your margins I also break down how tools like auction manifests and AI-assisted analysis can help you evaluate deals faster—but why you should always double-check the data yourself. One of the most practical insights in this episode is how to think about landed cost: not just what you pay for the pallet, but shipping, storage, repairs, and time. If your numbers aren’t right from the start, the deal doesn’t work. If you’ve ever wondered how experienced resellers evaluate deals in real time, this episode gives you a raw, unfiltered look at the decision-making process behind profitable buying. Stick around, subscribe to the channel, and join me next time as we continue breaking down real-world reselling strategies, sourcing opportunities, and business models.

    I Tried TikTok Live Selling… It Blew Up

    Join 3200+ Resellers in our $5 Reseller Mastermind Community and learn how to flip auction and liquidation goods for profit here: https://www.shannonjean.info/5MM Check out my Free Auction Starter Guide at https://www.shannonjean.com/auctions and Free Newsletter at https://shannon-jean.kit.com/ In this episode, I sit down with Brayden, a rising reseller who went from starting in a shared garage to building a high-volume reselling business in less than a year — and his biggest breakthrough came from live selling. Brayden shares how he got started just 9–10 months ago with no warehouse, no storage, and no experience — flipping Costco liquidation luggage sets out of a garage. From there, he gradually scaled into a storage unit and began experimenting with different categories while learning the fundamentals of sourcing, pricing, and customer demand. One of the biggest turning points in his journey came when he shifted from selling individual items on Facebook Marketplace to flipping entire truckloads. By connecting with other local resellers — including home stagers — he unlocked a faster way to move inventory through B2B relationships instead of relying solely on one-by-one sales. We also dive into the importance of problem-solving and customer trust. Brayden shares real examples of handling returns, refunds, and damaged products — including how he refunded a customer before even receiving the return. His philosophy is simple: this business is built on relationships, and long-term trust is more valuable than short-term profit. But the most exciting part of Brayden’s story is his recent success with live selling. On Whatnot, he initially made what he calls a “tuition mistake” by buying the wrong inventory — high heels in limited sizes that didn’t move. After adjusting his strategy, he pivoted into Built protein bars and quickly found product-market fit, selling out inventory and generating consistent profit in just a few shows. He then expanded to TikTok’s live auction platform, where the opportunity is even bigger — but requires a different approach. With over 250,000 impressions in just one week and ranking in the top 100 in his category, Brayden is now tapping into massive organic reach while building a new audience from scratch. Throughout the episode, we break down the real lessons behind his rapid growth: Why live selling rewards speed, personality, and consistency The importance of “pushing the button” even when you’re not ready How volume beats perfection in reselling Why documenting your journey publicly can accelerate your growth And how relationships — not just products — drive long-term success DISCLAIMER: This video is for educational and entertainment purposes only and is not financial, business, or legal advice.

    I’d Make $5,000/Month Reselling (9 Steps I’d Follow Today)

The best part? You don’t need to buy anything to get started. We begin with the simplest strategy—selling items you already own—and using platforms like Facebook Marketplace, Whatnot, and TikTok to learn the fundamentals without risking capital. From there, I explain how to study your marketplace, copy top sellers (and do it better), and build listings that actually convert. I also share how to structure your listings for maximum trust, including credibility statements, product details, and your “noble cause”—plus a powerful tactic using customer testimonials to increase sales. As you progress, we cover getting your resale permit, choosing a profitable niche, sourcing inventory from liquidation platforms, and why starting small is critical to long-term success. This isn’t about gambling — it’s about knowing what you can sell before you ever buy. If you want to build a real, repeatable income stream through reselling — whether it’s $5K or $50K per month — these 9 steps give you a proven roadmap to start and scale.

    So, you want to resell iPhones?

    Join 3100+ Resellers in our $5 Reseller Mastermind Community and learn how to flip auction and liquidation goods for profit here: https://www.shannonjean.info/5MM Check out my Free Auction Starter Guide at https://www.shannonjean.com/auctions and Free Newsletter at https://shannon-jean.kit.com/ In this episode, I talked with Sean Cleland to break down how resellers are actually making money in today’s liquidation market—especially in electronics, where margins are tight but volume is everything. We cover the two most important rules before buying any inventory: knowing your downstream buyer and understanding your data. Sean explains why this is a velocity game, where products often sell before they even arrive, and how having a fast sell-through channel is critical to success. We also dive into how B-Stock auctions work today, including the rise of “Buy It Now” listings, how pricing is driven by real sales data, and why more inventory is moving toward instant purchases instead of bidding wars. Sean shares insights into margins across categories — from sub-10% on iPhones to higher margins on laptops, wearables, and niche electronics — plus how resellers increase profits through bundling, warranties, and exporting to higher-priced international markets. We also explore ITAD (IT Asset Disposition), a lesser-known sourcing channel where businesses offload used tech like laptops and phones. These loads often come with better data, testing, and consistency — giving resellers more confidence and faster inventory turnover. If you want to understand how experienced resellers operate in a low-margin, high-velocity environment and how to compete using better data, smarter sourcing, and strong buyer relationships, this episode is packed with real-world insight.

    Auctions Deep Dive (Why Retail Prices Are a Lie)

    Join 3100+ Resellers in our $5 Reseller Mastermind Community and learn how to flip auction and liquidation goods for profit here: https://www.shannonjean.info/5MM Check out my Free Auction Starter Guide at https://www.shannonjean.com/auctions and Free Newsletter at https://shannon-jean.kit.com/ In this episode, I dive into B-Stock auctions and walk through real listings to show how I evaluate liquidation deals in real time. We start by exposing one of the biggest traps in reselling — inflated retail values — and why you should never rely on the numbers shown on manifests. I review Amazon FBA pallets, BJ’s truckloads, scratch-and-dent appliances, and Ace Hardware tool loads, explaining which categories I avoid, which ones I like, and how freight, condition, and resale demand impact profitability. We also look at unmanifested pallets and niche industrial inventory, where fewer bidders can create hidden opportunities — if you do the research first and verify real-world demand before buying. If you want to get better at reading manifests, spotting risky listings, and finding liquidation deals with real upside, this episode gives you a practical behind-the-scenes look at how experienced resellers analyze auctions.

    Stop Letting Marketplaces Own Your Customers (Do This Instead)

    Join 2000+ Resellers in our $5 Reseller Mastermind Community and learn how to flip auction and liquidation goods for profit here: https://www.shannonjean.info/5MM Check out my Free Auction Starter Guide at https://www.shannonjean.com/auctions and Free Newsletter at https://shannon-jean.kit.com/  In this episode, I sit down with Joe Benson, founder of Eversight, to talk about one of the biggest mistakes resellers and online entrepreneurs make: relying entirely on marketplaces instead of building their own customer base and brand. Joe runs a digital marketing agency that has been operating for over 20 years and recently transitioned to a recurring “website as a service” model. We talk about how that shift changed his business, improved stability, and helped him scale to a fully remote team spread across the U.S. and internationally. One of the key themes in this conversation is the importance of owning your customer relationships. When you sell exclusively on platforms like Facebook Marketplace, eBay, or Whatnot, the platform controls the audience. Joe explains why building your own website, email list, and brand presence gives you long-term protection, repeat customers, and more predictable revenue. We also discuss how content and personal branding play a major role in modern business growth. Joe shares how consistently posting on social media and offering value through things like website audits led to a significant percentage of his agency’s new business coming directly from social platforms. Beyond business, we talk about lifestyle design and what it means to build an uncommon life. Joe shares the story of taking his family to live in New Zealand for three months — something that was only possible because of the systems and remote structure he built into his company. It’s a powerful example of how entrepreneurship can be used as a tool to create freedom, not just income. If you’re a reseller, side hustler, or small business owner looking to build something more stable, scalable, and independent from marketplaces, this episode offers practical insight and real-world experience from someone who has done exactly that.
