Episode 295. Resellers Who Overprice Everything" — Are They Wrong or Are They Right?(S6.E34)

Is overpricing your reseller listings a genius strategy or a straight-up scam? On this episode of Consignment Chats, we're debating one of the most controversial topics in the reselling community: overpriced listings. From $2 thrift mugs listed for $40 to "confident pricing" vs. "delusional pricing," we're breaking down both sides.In this episode, we cover:✅ The case FOR overpricing (anchoring, hype items, protecting against lowballers)✅ The case AGAINST overpricing (algorithm penalties, buyer trust, community reputation)✅ How to actually price using comps instead of vibes✅ Where WE land on overpriced listings (spoiler: we disagree)Whether you sell on Poshmark, eBay, Depop, Mercari, or Whatnot, pricing strategy can make or break your reselling business. This episode is for anyone who's ever wondered if they're pricing too high, too low, or just right.Subscribe to our Sister Channel for sourcing and tips! @ThriftFindFlip To Grow Your Reselling Busines⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠s visit us at @ConsignmentChats http://www.ConsignmentChats.com⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠

Episode 293. Motivation Won't Save Your Reselling Business (Here's What Will) (S6.E32)

Motivation got you into reselling — but it will NOT keep you in reselling. In this episode, inspired by Mel Robbins' interview with 8-time Olympic medalist Shelly-Ann Fraser-Pryce, we break down why "standards" beat "motivation" every single time, and how to build a reselling routine that survives slow sales weeks, burnout, and your Money Mountain staring you down. If you've ever felt like quitting reselling when the hype wears off, this episode is for you.We're talking:✅ Why motivation is a mood (not a strategy)✅ How to build reseller "standards" that don't quit when you want to✅ Bouncing back from a slow sales week without spiraling✅ Why comparing yourself to other resellers is killing your consistency#ResellerTips #ThriftFlip #ResellerMotivation #ConsignmentChats #SideHustle #MelRobbins #FlippingForProfit @melrobbins episode with Shelly-Ann Fraser-Pryce: https://youtu.be/ylswUDZVgWM?si=gFzeYKqngcdHBtKBMoney Mountain Tracker Tool: https://www.etsy.com/listing/4550401748/12-week-listing-challenge-tracker Subscribe to our Sister Channel for sourcing and tips! @ThriftFindFlip To Grow Your Reselling Busines⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠s visit us at @ConsignmentChats http://www.ConsignmentChats.com⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠

Episode 291. You Don't Have a Time Problem, You Have a Perfectionism Problem (S6.E30)

Perfectionism feels like ambition — but in reselling, it's the #1 silent profit killer. In this episode, we're breaking down why "just one more photo," "let me research the price more," and "I'll list it when it's perfect" are keeping your Money Mountain from moving. We talk burnout, analysis paralysis, done-over-perfect listing strategies, and how to know if you're a perfectionist or just avoiding the real work. If you've ever rewritten a listing description five times or reshot the same photo for 20 minutes — this one's for you.
