I don't recall the source but I just read about a Poshmark clothing seller that made over 90K profit last year.

I have a niece who has several Rae Dunn mugs, etc. but she doesn't "collect" them. She puts hers to work and uses everything she has. She has Rae Dunn stuff for her desk, the kitchen, and her bathroom. I was in Marshall's last week to buy Yankee candles and they had Rae Dunn stuff all over the store. If you buy it online, on different sites like Amazon, it is pricey. I think the mugs are hard to use due to the shape, but I love how they look.

I have several teacher friends who are Amazon booksellers. They spend the summers going to Good Will, thrift, and some old bookstores. They all specialize in one or two genres of books and most of them make good money, enough not to have to work full time in the summer at another job. I like to look for classic children's books but when I see someone with a huge shopping cart of books, I know they are a bookseller and I get out of the way. When you see new clothing on Ebay it doesn't mean the seller has bought a whole shelf full of something, sometimes it just means it isn't their size or they don't care for it and they can't return it. Just trying to recoup their money.

EBay is not what it was 10- 15 years ago. China has flooded the market with a bunch of cheap, knock off junk and EBay charges so many fees now that the little guy can't really make anything. So many of the good sellers with legitimately good stuff at decent prices have left.
