Written for people who actually source and sell.
Pricing, platforms, inventory, and the numbers underneath.
-
How to calculate your true cost per item
The sticker price is not your cost. Fold in shipping, fees and tax so the margin you report is the margin you actually got.
-
How to work out profit on a bundle sale
One buyer, one price, several items. Splitting that number back into per-item profit trips up more resellers than the buying side does.
-
Which of your purchases actually have a return window
Retail almost always gives you one. Thrift, estate sales and most marketplace buys usually do not. Know which before you list.
-
What records resellers should actually keep
Not a filing guide. Just what to have on hand before your accountant asks for it, and the two records people lose track of first.
-
Buying in one currency, selling in another
Cross-border profit needs both legs converted honestly, the buy and the sale, each at the rate that applied when it happened.
-
A simple bin system for reseller inventory
Finding an item is often slower than listing it. A basic bin system fixes that without buying anything or building a spreadsheet.
-
Spreadsheet or app for reselling inventory?
At five or ten items a month, use a spreadsheet. We make a reseller inventory app and we still say that. Here is what changes as your inventory grows.
Start tracking in the time it takes to scan a receipt.
Download ItemLogue and run your next haul through it, start to finish.
