Today I want to talk about how I started selling on EBAY. It's a rather interesting story. As some of you may know I have a hustle instilled in me that runs in my bloodline and actually comes straight from my dad. My dad has been working since he was I believe about 11 years old. He has worked in many different fields until he discovered his talent which was antiques and art. He is a truly incredible artist and owns his own restoration business called Bach Antiques, at which he practically lives. I mean this man works 24/7 literally. But that's a whole different story that I'll save for another post.
The spark to start selling on EBAY first came about when I was asked to go to Sundance Film Festival by the Ciroc events company that I was working for at the time. I jumped at the opportunity and really loved the whole experience. As you may know there are a lottttt of perks that come with going to Sundance and one of them was of course the many gift bags that are given out at the events happening during the festival. I came home with an extra duffle bag filled with goodie bags. So I thought to myself... what am I going to do with all this stuff? I gave some to my family and well then the side hustle came into play.
I started an EBAY store and decided to sell all these items to make a side income and viola it worked! I continued to do that will items that I received from future events as well. Some I kept but the rest went straight onto EBAY. That's how I started and then continued to grow it into a semi small boutique where I started selling my unwanted clothing, shoes, bags etc. which I then coined as "recycled fashion". I'll go into that in my next post, but basically eventually you don't spend any money out of pocket and continue to recycle the funds you make from your unwanted clothes into buying new items! Stay tuned!
