Ready to Resell

2025 Was Rough—Here's How We Survived (And Actually Thrived)


Listen Later

Leah and Kayla are getting real about 2025—the good, the bad, and the seriously ugly parts of running a reselling business this year. Spoiler alert: it was a wild ride.

From watching their sales tank in spring to scrambling to figure out what the heck was going on, the hosts don't hold back about the challenges they faced. Inflation hit hard, shipping costs sky-rocketed, and everyone was feeling the pinch at the grocery store AND in their reselling businesses.

But here's the thing—they didn't just give up. Instead, they pivoted. Hard. They jumped into eBay Live auctions when the opportunity came knocking, started selling pre-loved items for the first time ever, and basically rebuilt their entire business model on the fly. And honestly? Some of their "oh crap" moments turned into their biggest wins.

If you've been struggling this year, wondering if you should keep going or try something different, or just feeling like you're the only one having a rough time—this episode is for you. Because spoiler #2: change doesn't mean you failed. It means you're smart enough to adapt.

Plus, they spill the tea on why thrift stores are basically retail now, how pre-loved items are sometimes selling for MORE than new stuff, and what they're planning for 2026.
