What if you could build a systematic reselling business that averages $200+ per item, gets inventory for free, and has the potential to become a full-time income?
Meet Matt and Hannah Lee, who’ve been doing exactly that for the last eight years through ShareTown, a platform that connects return item pickup reps with direct-to-consumer brands.
Unlike the treasure hunt of liquidation pallets, this is a more systematic approach with lower transaction volume but higher profit per item. But these items are big, bulky furniture, mattresses, and exercise equipment that require proper transportation and storage.
For the last three years, Matt and Hannah have turned this into a full-time income, flipping 40-60 items per month and averaging $200-250 profit per item.
Listen to Episode 687 of the Side Hustle Show to learn:
- How ShareTown’s business model actually works
- What it takes to earn $200+ per item consistently
- Marketing strategies that build repeat customers
