As we start building this community, I’d love to hear everyone’s story and what you’re working towards. Here’s mine. I’m James Gore, I’m from the UK, and I started reselling as a teenager buying from outlets — mainly trainers. In my second month I made just over £3,000 and realised pretty quickly that this was something real. I kept going until I moved to Canada for two years to serve a mission for my church. While I was there I met another Brit who had been reselling before he left too, but he focused on vintage and sportswear. When we both came back to the UK, we relaunched Open Outfit — the business he had originally started — and I invested to become a co-owner . Fast forward about 4.5 years and we now process around 4,000 items a month through Open Outfit, and we’ve also built a wholesale business alongside it that regularly processes full containers of stock. I created this group as a way to expand my circle, share what we’ve learned along the way, and have a place where people in reselling can ask questions, compare notes, and help each other move forward. Would love to hear who you are, what you’re doing, and where you’re trying to get to, please make it an official post rather than a comment below

Hey everyone, welcome! I’m James, founder of Open Outfit and part-owner of a wholesale business supplying vintage and pre-owned clothing. Over the last few years I’ve: - Sold over 100,000 items online. - Personally listed and processed 120,000+ items. - Grown Open Outfit to £600K revenue last year. - Co Owner of a wholesale operation which processes up to 40,000+ items every month. So I’ve seen reselling from both sides: the day-to-day grind of listing and shipping thousands of items, and the bigger picture of moving stock at scale. 👉 But to be clear — this group is not here to advertise wholesale.This community is here to share knowledge, raise the standard of reselling, and support each other. Why I started this group I realised there wasn’t a single place where resellers could: - Learn what actually works in eBay, Depop, Etsy, and beyond. - Share strategies without hype or fluff. - Grow together, whether you’re just starting out or scaling into thousands of sales. That’s why I created The Reselling Standard — to build a community that sets a higher bar for reselling. 🚀 What to do next: 1. Drop a quick intro comment below — who you are, what you sell, and your biggest challenge right now. 2. Get involved: ask questions, share wins, and help others. 3. Remember: the more you contribute, the more valuable this community becomes for everyone. I’m excited to have you here — let’s raise the bar and set the new standard together. – James
