Episode 88: Meet Jade of Fashion Without Trashin (part I)

Jade of Fashion Without Trashin has been selling secondhand clothing for a loooooong time. Today Jade will share her journey as a reseller: from Ebay to Poshmark to literally opening her own store. She has a ton of expertise to share! By the time you finish this episode, you will know more than ever that selling secondhand is hard work, it’s skilled work, and it's worth paying for. We are also going to talk about our feelings about big fast fashion brands getting into the resale market, much like they all tried to get into rental before the pandemic.

Find Jade on instagram as @fashionwithouttrashin She shares a lot of really useful insider secondhand seller info!

And Amanda will tell you all about what rotisserie chickens and swimsuits have in common...it's the pyramid of merchandising! Just a little installment of #buyerslife!
