Hi all!
I'm Heather, an entrepreneur in Asheville, NC. I created this channel to document my part-time reselling adventures and hopefully help to inspire your own hustle.
I've been a long-time Craigslist and Facebook Marketplace junkie but as of August 2019, I began officially reselling on Poshmark and eBay.
I have a retail background and am the owner of a multi-branded, online glass art business. I've learned so much through the years via KZread, I thought it would be fun to share my journey with others.
Let's do this!

Great sales 🎉❤love these videos ! I need to sell on etsy!, is it a hard app to figure out ? My posh sales are nonexistent.
Thank you for all the details you always give regarding each item and your optimism and pleasantness as you share with us. 😊🤩
Please list measurements on your items for sale in your posts. the bust, length, for tops, waist, rise, length or inseam for bottoms. Thanks
I include the measurements in the pictures of each item listing. I find it's easier for customers in the picture rather than in the listing, as most people don't read the listing. Thanks for watching!
@@SequelsBoutique that's funny because that's the first thing I look for. I appreciate when sellers include measurements wherever they are!
Love the cat sweater! You and your hair look beautiful:-)
Thanks so much. 😊
@@SequelsBoutique you’re welcome:-)
Love the cat sweater 🤩
😻
My mom had that same vest!!! 😂😂😂
You're mom was stylin' in the 90s! Bonus points if she paired it with Guess jeans, boat shoes and big hair. 😆
The cat sweater is awesome so 80s vibe or just plain crazy cat lady
I should have tagged it crazy cat lady 😍
That cat sweater is Everything!! Love the way you styled the Pendleton skirt - perfect outfit!
Thanks so much. It's giving 80s back to school vibes 😊
I love the cat sweater! 😻
You certainly purchased a lot of very nice items! I know your viewers will want ALL of these! The dress with all of the beautiful colors (especially the blue) is one of my favorites! 🤩😊
That blue dress IS lovely. Thanks for watching. 😍
Awesome tips and I love how you went straight into the point of all eight! Thank you, I enjoyed your video.
Great haul! Love your top sooo pretty 🤩
Thanks! 😊
Maybe you mentioned it, but the shipping discounts are now given to the buyer, and taken away from the seller.
Thanks for sharing this information.
I do the calculated shipped on eBay to avoid worrying about it now. Can't compete with Amazon doing "free" shipping and "free" returns anymore. Not the same platform anyway. If someone wants something they will pay the calculated rate.
At the moment, for my product category, my shipping prices are in line with my competition. However, I think I should adjust to calculated shipping in the future for more efficiency. Thanks for sharing.
Great tips! 😊 and great video overall. I agree 100%
Thanks a bunch!
Love the hair and another great haul too. All boho prints draw me in too
I decided to chop it all off for the summer. Thanks so much. 😊
Look at you using Sheath and Shift correctly!! Awesome! Love all the vintage you found. That Time and Tru dress would make your eyes pop!! It looked like a linen blend. Too bad it didn’t work out. The top you’re wearing is gorgeous and you look great in white - maybe you’re a winter.
Your tip has worked wonders. 😃 Oh, thank you so much. Winter might be correct as I look best in black, white, and blue. I'm trying to determine my best colors so I don't buy All.The.Things in my size when I'm out thrifting. 🤞
Hello! I went thrifting at Goodwill today! I lucked into a great haul today!
That is awesome! Oh, I'll have to be on the lookout for that haul video drop. 🥰
@@SequelsBoutique it’s at the end of my purse sale video that I uploaded today! There are timestamps in my video, so you can skip straight to the thrift haul!
Thank you 🎉
You’re welcome 😊 Thank you for watching.
Thanks for sharing. The best to you in your sales. 😃🤩
Thank you! 🤗

New here :) I'm from Texas and have been reselling for 4 years. I am still learning ways to grow my reselling business but have definitely come a long way than when I first started. Enjoyed the video, thanks for the tips 🩷
Welcome! I'm always thrilled to meet a new Sequels' BFF. 🥰 I've only been official for the last 4-5 years myself. There's always something new to learn and KZread has taught me so much. Thanks for watching and I wish you continued success!
All great ways to help for sure.
Thanks for watching! 🥰
New sub ❤🎉I love garage sales soo much ❤
Thanks for subbing! 🥰 I love meeting new Sequels' BFFs. I enjoy garage sales so much, too. Plus they always have THE BEST prices.
Hi, Sequels' friends! 🥰 Have you tried Poshmark Promoted Closet? What were your results?
Most definitely contact them w pictures
Thanks for the input. I did. Here is their response: "Rescues are items that are inherently flawed and didn’t meet our strict quality standards. They are advertised as having cosmetic defects, be missing labels, tags or hardware, or need to be cleaned/lightly mended." When I pushed back focusing on the fake Adidas sneakers they responded "Considering there is no adidas logo or branding on these shoes, they are not technically inauthentic. They are an unbranded shoe that was inspired by an Adidas style. There will be no further action needed." 🙄🤷♀️
I tried PC both ways - free trial from Posh and me paying for it. With Posh having the highest fees, we shouldn’t have to pay more to get things to sell. I spent $25 to make $61 in sales ($47.70) Definitely not worth the PC fees!!
Thanks for sharing! I've watched several other resellers even state their business DECREASED after using it. Posh ushing features like PC, rather than fixing their horrible search function, really grinds me gears!
Yeah I hate how most platforms have some pay to sell and then you do the work and its still wishy washy you know. Will not be doing promoted on posh
Me, too. It gives the largest, most profitable sellers the most money to spend a leg up on the competition. Thanks for watching!
Such a great review. You came to the same conclusion that I did. Thank you so much!
Glad it was helpful and thanks for watching. 🙂
Hi, Sequels' friends! What was your favorite item from this haul?
That Navy Crown and Ivy so sweet
So pretty! Thanks for watching. 😊
Shift dress - looks like 2 identical panels sewn together, no shape. Think of shift without the F 😉
Lol! This is exactly what I need to finally remember the difference. 🤣
Hi, Sequels' friend! 🥰What do you think of this box? Should I reach out to ThredUP?
Hi, friends. I reached out to ThredUp and stated "I’m sorry to hear that you were disappointed with the Rescues you received. Rescues are items that are inherently flawed and didn’t meet our strict quality standards. They are advertised as having cosmetic defects, be missing labels, tags or hardware, or need to be cleaned/lightly mended." I inquired about the youth items and the fake Adidas. I was asked to send pictures of the Adidas, which I did and confirmed there was no branding or tags. They responded and asked second time to send pictures of the tags. I reconfirmed the item have no branding or tags, thus why I assume they are fakes. I also reinquired about whether youth can be included in this box. As of July 2nd I haven't hear back. I'm hoping I'll hear back after the holiday weekend.
After following up on 7/9, customer ended up responding on 7/11. They never answered as to whether youth shoes should be included in rescue boxes. As for the fake Adidas their response was "Considering there is no adidas logo or branding on these shoes, they are not technically inauthentic. They are an unbranded shoe that was inspired by an Adidas style. There will be no further action needed." They see the sneakers as knock off, which are aloud in ThredUP boxes. If they had been counterfit (including a fake logo, rather than just knocking off the exact design), that would be a completely different outcome. Sounds like splitting hairs, to me. 🤷♀ I understand retail is full of knock offs but using the name Die Weltmarke Midi Den 3 Streifen and still being considered a knock off is next level questionable IMHO. These last few absolutely horrible boxes, along with this customer service exchange as really tainted my views of ThredUP.
Hi, Sequels' friend! 🥰 How were your June sales?
My June sales were way down, and I was listing like a crazy person. June has been my lowest net all year. Historically, things pick back up in July - so here’s hoping that continues!! Thanks for the reminder to go sourcing at home. I have some dresses in my closet that need to go.
I saw your shorts you WERE listing, listing, listing! Here's hoping you see the results of you hard work this month! 🙌
This box is very similar to the one I ordered a few months ago. Most were such low quality cheap brands with major damage. I bought mine 30% off putting it around $70ish and I still haven’t made my money back on it. Only sold 2 pairs so far. I’ve seen others get amazing shoe boxes and I just don’t understand how they can put together such horrible boxes and then really great ones. They shouldn’t be putting trash items in these boxes. Especially when they cost almost $100.
I'm so sorry to hear that. I've been watching others and seeing amazing boxes, as well. I understand not all boxes are 100% winners but I agree, they shouldn't be filling them with trash when they cost $100. I try to have a positive outlook, and I'm sure I'll give it another try in the future, but back to back boxes and a lackluster response from customer service is tarnishing my opinion of ThredUP.
👍❤️
hello ❤️, I'm very happy to watch your beautiful videos, subscribe to the channel and share the latest videos. Wishing you and your family health, peace and happiness 👍❤️
Thank you so much for watching! ❤
Great box! I’m glad thredup took care of you. They’ve been doing people dirty lately. Love the Van Halen tee! 🤩
I'm thankful I got lucky with this one. I agree, ThredUP is not playing nice lately. 🤷♀️
My last denim was awful too, super small sizes and 14 unsaleable and I will list old navy so that tell you something.
I typically donate half the denim box due to small sizes and pull elastic at the crotch. Yup, that Old Navy is a indicator for sure. While you won't make much money on the plus side they should move for you quickly. Thanks for watching!
Depending on the size of the Nikes you might be able to sell them in a woman’s category. I think women who wear a size 7 can fit into a boys 5.5 and boys athletic shoes are less expensive than womens. But… that box should not have children’s shoes in it. They have a specific box for that. Call them and get a credit back on those.
I did reach out to ThredUP and am awaiting a response. I didn't realize kids were based on men's sizing scale. This is great information. I agree selling them as women's gives me a better chance of getting them sold. 🙌 Thanks for sharing!
Yikes! That box is not great for sure. Dexflex was sold at Payless. An affordable comfort shoe. I wore them all the time as a teacher and now that all Payless stores have closed, I have to go to resell platforms to find them. Those Ugg slippers? Teenagers wear them as shoes. They’re very popular.
Oh, how I miss those Payless day! 🥰 This is good to hear. Hopefully I can get the non-damaged items moved to recoup my money.
I would definitely contact them. That's ridiculous.
I've reached out to them and will be sure to share the outcome. Thanks for your advise!
Ugh…I’d try contacting Thredup. Most of those shoes are not worth the time it will take you to list them. 😢
I've reached out to them and we'll see what happens. Thanks for your advise!
Not to bad wish thredup would quit with xs small med in boxes how bout a bit of all sizes. :) You will do fine selling them and make a bit of profit too.
Agreed! I'm SO over the extra smalls. Thanks for watching.
The DOLLY tee is everything! I wish it was my size! I have never tried this box because I am afraid I would get a box of the tourist tees. I think you received a very nice variety of tees👍
On the plus side it's a cheaper box so even if it's a rough one I've always made money.
That box looked like fun, I just went over and ordered one. If they are ugly or damaged I'll probably make things with them (hope to get good ones though). A little nervous as ThredUp hasn't been kind to me
I understand, as ThredUP is not what it used to be. On the positive side the DIY T-Shirt box has always been a winner for me. Fingers crossed you get a good one! 🤞
I love the angle but I wish you would hold the camera still and move the item instead?
Great tip! Thanks for sharing.
Love buying vintage belts and that vintage Scully pearl snap!! Wow!!!😮😮 Fantastic score!!! Great video!!
When I tell you the way I ran up to that Scully! 😉 Thank for watching.
@@SequelsBoutique 😂😂
Love your hauls! You always find great stuff 😊
Thank you! 😊
