This is probably the biggest update we've made since launching Behind The Listings, so please give this one a read — particularly if you're currently on the Standard membership. After a lot of conversations between me & @Simon Smith , and after speaking openly with the guys on last night's Q&A, we've made the decision that: From Monday 5th October, Behind The Listings will become a 𝗽𝗮𝗶𝗱-𝗺𝗲𝗺𝗯𝗲𝗿𝘀-𝗼𝗻𝗹𝘆 𝗰𝗼𝗺𝗺𝘂𝗻𝗶𝘁𝘆. That means the current $19/month membership will become the standard BTL membership, and the standard membership will be removed. I want to explain properly why we're doing this, because this genuinely isn't simply about putting the group behind a paywall. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 𝗪𝗛𝗬 𝗔𝗥𝗘 𝗪𝗘 𝗠𝗔𝗞𝗜𝗡𝗚 𝗧𝗛𝗘 𝗖𝗛𝗔𝗡𝗚𝗘? 👀 When we launched BTL around two months ago, the idea was to build a big free reseller community with an optional Premium membership sitting within it. And honestly... the growth has been ridiculous. We've gone from nothing to 650+ members in a matter of weeks 🤯 We've absolutely loved seeing all the introductions, questions, pickups, wins and conversations — and there are some genuinely brilliant people in here. But actually running the community every single day has made us realise something. We don't want to build the biggest reseller community possible. We want to build the BEST one we possibly can. A smaller, hyper-focused community of people who genuinely care about reselling, want to improve, get involved, share knowledge and help each other. The free side has grown so quickly that both me and Simon have started feeling increasingly stretched trying to keep up with introductions, questions, comments, messages and everything else that comes with it. That's on us — nobody is demanding that we reply to everything! 😅 But we genuinely care about this community, so when somebody asks for help, we feel a responsibility to try and help them.

Please help my son Jamie and take 5 mins to take his reselling survey. Hey everyone, I'm Jamie Allen, a fellow reseller at R & J reselling. I’m working on an idea around reselling and I’m trying to figure out what actual resellers struggle with the most before I build anything. What’s annoying? What takes up loads of time? What do you wish was easier? I’ve made a quick survey if anyone's got a couple of minutes to fill it out. I would genuinely appreciate the feedback 🙏 Link = https://forms.cloud.microsoft/r/GSetySAfG6?origin=lprLink

Hey. Anyone know how much I should list this for? I’m not really knowledgeable on men’s. It’s a perfect Q4 piece I would think. It’s made in Italy with yarn from the British Isles 95% Merino Wool 5% cashmere. Proper heavy. Good condition but some wear on the elbow patches. Got it off Vinted for £15. Thanks 😉

NEW PODCAST IS LIVE! 🎙️🔥 This week we're joined by @Nick Conner to talk about something questionable... Have we niched down TOO much? 😂 The three of us have built a lot of our reselling businesses around clothing — but after such a difficult summer, it's got us wondering how much profitable stock we're walking straight past at car boots simply because we don't know enough about it! 👀 🎥 WATCH THE FULL PODCAST HERE 🚨 We get into: - 👕 Why we originally niched down into clothing - 💰 Whether specialising is actually leaving money on the table - ☀️ The reality of this year's summer slowdown - 🎮 Nick branching into video games, consoles, DVDs & electronics - 📷 The opportunity in cameras and other categories - 🚗 How differently we now look at car boot sales - 📊 Sell-through rates & knowing when an unfamiliar item is worth buying - 🧠 How we'd actually go about learning a completely new category - 📦 The downside of selling bulky/awkward items - 📱 eBay vs Vinted for different types of stock - 🤝 Why building sourcing relationships is so important - 😬 And a really honest conversation from Nick about just how difficult the last few months have been We also put our knowledge to the test with a few completely random items... which mainly confirmed that some of us have absolutely no idea what we're looking at outside of clothing 😂 It's a really interesting conversation because I don't think the answer is necessarily "become an everything seller." Maybe it's simply becoming knowledgeable enough that when a £100 profit opportunity is sitting right in front of you... you don't walk straight past it because it isn't a jacket! 😂💰 Really interested to hear what everyone in here thinks about this one: 👇 Are you niched down, an everything seller, or somewhere in between? And if you enjoy the episode, please jump over to YouTube and leave us a comment — it genuinely helps the podcast massively! 💙👊

Sorry not sorry, need to have a rant. Just been to the lockers to collect a parcel for a jacket I purchased off Vinted. Got home opened it up only to find it it’s not what I purchased. No name or label on the parcel which was a bit weird so submitted a claim to Vinted with delivery issues. It happens, I get it, no major fuss. Thought I would update the seller so sent a quick message just to let her know what was going. This was her reply: “the items that you added is not mine so you’ve received something from someone else my parcel has been delivered to you as per their details so do not scam me” Whoah lady I ain’t scamming you for a £5 jacket. I was being polite letting you know I had raised an issue with delivery 🤬
