I had a heart failure because i was burning the candle on both ends. I was in the hospital for a while, so now my health comes first. Great advice!

[@marilyncordell4687]

Prioritize, prioritize, prioritize! Your family and your health are so much more important than your business. Always. These guys who have nothing else to do but source and list and source and list do not represent all resellers. Everyone of us is unique in our lifestyle, our social situation, our family situation, our location, our financial situation, etc. We each have to determine what comes first and recognize that most of us can't do it all. I love your content and your positivitiy, Becky!

[@beckyparkco]

Ahhhh thank you! And you’re right-it’s always so important to take context into consideration. What you see as someone’s example may be impossible because they are in a different life stage or have different circumstances. Great point!

[@CarolanRoss]

Stay down-to-earth REAL, Becky. People love your genuine honesty. You communicate well and share great info in a creative way, while keeping priorities in line. Family first! And health, of course. You balance a LOT.

[@beckyparkco]

I appreciate you and your comment so much ❤️

[@FreewayFlippers]

You are spot on with so many of these! There is no one way to resell, you have to find what works for you, and enjoy it! Our 2025 is going to look way different than this year. Finding a community is very important. When we find other resellers we connect with, it is very refreshing, motivating, and inspiring. We are all about helping others and celebrating their success. Happy New Year!

[@beckyparkco]

@@FreewayFlippers yay for making loves and changes in 2025. And yes-community can be what keeps resellers motivated and on the cusp of what’s new in reselling. Wishing you guys all the success in 2025 ❤️

[@pnw-coast]

Great video Becky! I heartily agree with #1. There are too many commenters telling resellers that they shouldn't do certain things, like resell things that aren't highly profitable even though the resellers are fine with the low profit. If the reseller enjoys it, then let them take low profits. Not all resellers are reliant on resale income, so if they enjoy selling something that isn't highly profitable, then who's to say they shouldn't keep doing it. Now, if the reseller is complaining about low profit or is asking for advice on how to make more money, then those types of comments could be helpful, but in many cases I've seen it is just commenters trying to push their own metrics onto other resellers. The best change I made in 2024 was to be more selective in my sourcing. This is just a side hustle for me, so I don't want to increase my deathpile with things I won't enjoy cleaning or listing or shipping. Even if it's profitable, I'll just leave it behind for the other resellers in town. I'm not setting any reselling goals for 2025 because I have a some big non-reselling projects that I need to prioritize.

[@Allseasonsthrifting]

Yes!!! Health is the most important thing… we have to take care of ourselves if we want to take care of our family… I’m Korean too and when I started reselling there were some people in my community that gave me a side look and honestly it did affect me a bit. But, I kind of got over it because I love what I’m doing even if it’s just part time. Hope you have an amazing 2025!!!

[@sarahyoo5708]

Happy New Year! Asking for what you want is so on point! That’s great you’re taking risks and going for it!

[@christinetehonchuk5647]

I love your honesty and the way you show up on social media as a real person. Your insight and knowledge have helped me so much as a new reseller. Thank You! Thank You! I wish you and your family a wonderful and prosperous 2025.

[@joesmithasws4374]

My favorite video of yours by far!! I so appreciate your honesty and don't act like you know everything. I was reselling as FT for over 8 yrs and this year I went PT and got a FT job. It's hard balancing both so I really appreciate your content. I love reselling so I won't ever stop but like you, I also don't take care of myself since it's working 2 jobs and having kids! Ty for being so real❤

[@Kim-cq5gk]

Thank you for the real talk! I'm a part time reseller and have a full time job. My goal is to make money... whether it's $5-20 profit, I'm happy with it. My biggest takeaway from 2024 is to do better than MYSELF the previous month. As long as my numbers are improving month to month, I'm happy and encouraged! The challenge to profit $10 off of a $1 item is fun for me! Thanks again for sharing! Have a Happy New Year! 🎉

[@soheilasiadate2478]

Thank you Becky happy new year and I hope the year 2025 brings you more health, happiness and prosperity.

[@blakemccabe15]

you're a choir teacher?! That's awesome. I restarted my poshmark this year to sell items for a high school I work with's theatre department/choir teacher who had so much stuff they wanted to clear out and I wanted to prevent just everything going to the landfill. They had so much good stuff, including 80's designers and NWT items that they never used. I've only listed half of their stuff so far because they just gave me so much. I love supporting fellow music people. I have a degree in music and work with a marching band, but ended up becoming a social studies teacher (just weren't music jobs when I graduated 10 years ago).

[@beckyparkco]

Yes! High school choir ❤️ and yessss I have sold stuff from our theater department too, way back in the day. Such a treasure mine of vintage stuff. I love social studies teachers too! Also, stay tuned because 2025 is going to be the year of a podcast I’m starting for teachers with side hustles ❤

[@blakemccabe15]

@@beckyparkco Awesome! I will stay tuned

[@angelapartyflips5498]

Fantastic video, particularly the confidence you get for going for something you’ve wanted to do. I have been a reseller for almost 5 years and I’ve expanded in ways I never would have guessed but in 2025 my focus is to learn to sew as a hobby. I’m starting with a thrifted bedsheet to make pants for my kids and just knowing I’m about to embark on something new has me really excited. Love your videos!

[@beckyparkco]

@@angelapartyflips5498 omg I wanna learn how to sew tooooo. That’s awesome! But yay for expanding and growing in ways you probably thought were unimaginable.

[@angelapartyflips5498]

@ as I’m sure the same for you, I nurture several streams of income and desperate need something for fulfillment and creative / relaxing time in the evenings. Can’t wait! Sydney Graham just did a full series on learning to sew that really helped if you ever want to join me :)

[@RawGradeFlip]

When someone on the internet is telling you you are doing it wrong you know you’re doing something right! Here’s to a kick ass 2025🎉

[@beckyparkco]

I LOVE this. Thank you for the encouragement ❤️

[@superha74]

I started doing Live Shows on Posh in August and it was so scary but it boosted my business so much and now i have a consistent following and love building the community and helping others go live...ur channel has been my re-seller "school" and i give u so much credit to others when they are preparing too. What u said about setting realistic goals hit me so hard and i appreciate ur framing about enjoying the journey instead of grieving not hitting the mark.

[@wandac5104]

Always great content Becky, blessings as we head into 2025. Inventory check by Feb 😊

[@burktra]

Thanks Becky- I swear we are soul sisters. My downfall too is the inventory situation. Ugh! Thanks for all you do!

[@SuperMaxpuppy]

My lesson for 2024 is less is more. I started the year out overflowing with inventory and constantly trying to find items i sold. I made an effort to bring my inventory down from 1650 items to 1100 and everything is running so smoothly. Less lost items and less chaos in my house. When i feel like im getting too much, i pull some items and consign or take to buy sell trade stores.

[@laurendrescher1903]

I started reselling in March and one of my biggest take aways has been to just do it - do it even if you’re scared. I loved Poshmark but was super nervous about eBay and one of your videos this past spring was so encouraging that I took the plunge! It was clunky at first - super slow for sales and I was scammed once but I persevered and now eBay is one of my best platforms 🎉 (Will forever be true to Posh but so so so glad I threw eBay in the mix)

[@beckyparkco]

@@laurendrescher1903 this made my whole day. I’m so proud of you for getting on eBay!!!

[@cindicarnes1731]

I started reselling in 2021 only to keep myself busy until my hubby could retire. 2025 will be my last year to resell. He will retire in June and the traveling will begin. But I have saved enough to pay for a very expensive cruise and a trip around America. It has been so great and I know I will miss it on some level, but ready for the next season.

[@beckyparkco]

You should be SO proud of yourself. And you can always come back to reselling if you want in the future!

[@jasperanddustpan]

That 1 box you went through on past video encouraged me to do a full inventory. I have been yanking out 1 box a day and looking through it. I have found several articles just in inventory and not listed. I will keep you accountable ; ) Joking but for real, three are real advantages (of the $$$ kind) to do inventories.

[@beckyparkco]

I LOVE that that video motivated you to do what I had set out to do lol. Your comment motivated me to make a plan and stick to it so I too can get this done!!! Thanks for your comment ❤

[@jasperanddustpan]

@@beckyparkco The way I am looking at it is one crate at a time (25 items are in a crate). Totally a half hour a day project.

[@beckyparkco]

@@jasperanddustpan exactly. And yet…I haven’t done it yet…lol. JANUARY!

[@jasperanddustpan]

@@beckyparkco oh you said it now you have to do it. I find organizing stuff relaxing anyway...but getting started an endeavor that at the start is disorganized is what paralyzes me.

[@alanaw1207]

I like the “I can do hard things” that is the best thing I have heard in years ❤️ I struggle with my weight so I’m going to set a gym goal. Then I sell live and on posh Canada and US and I want to do a few lives in row to get through some back stock which I have lots of money invested in. Thank you I love this video!! ⭐️

[@beckyparkco]

@@alanaw1207 I’m glad you enjoyed this video, and I’m excited for your gym goal! I’m on a bit of a health journey myself, and it is so rewarding when you get to the end of a tough workout. All throughout it honestly kind of sucks, but finishing and being like “I JUST DID THAT!” It’s addicting ❤️ excited for your 2025!

[@downlow0075]

Thank you for the encouragement. Im new at this❤

[@beckyparkco]

You have GOT this. Aren’t you so proud of everything you’ve already learned and accomplished???

[@beckyparkco]

@@hiddentreasureskc thank you, friend. And yes…stupid inventory…lol

[@SweetCreekThrift]

I think one of my biggest takeaway's from 2024 will be to think before I buy. I want to source better quality products that will earn a larger return. I will be working on implementing that in 2025. I think if I were to "ask for something" it will be more followers! lol and by the way I LOVE to garden! I have my other YT channel "Two Acres In Texas" but haven't posted much in the past year. I decided not to do much gardening this year as I have been working hard on my resale biz but hope to pick it back up in 2025. :)

[@beckyparkco]

Two acres in Texas?? Great yT title and also, I’m so jealous of all that garden space!!! Definitely going to follow you over there!!

[@kpratt5960]

I have literally picked up some children’s items, knowing I’ll only make $8-15 bcz they are too good to end up in the landfills.

[@beckyparkco]

@@kpratt5960 yessss!!! And it feels so good ❤️

[@susanegley4149]

I do this, I'm 50, my kid is 19, but I can't resist little loveys. They only bring $10ish dollars, but it brings me joy.

[@pnw-coast]

I've also done this. Not just with children's items, but also other vintage items if I know their next stop is the landfill.

I was hoping you would do some Whatnot auctions during the Winter break. Kind on an inventory clear out of old stuff.

[@beckyparkco]

I would have truly loved to, but believe it or not, I’m even busier here during winter break because my parents and mother in law are all staying at my place over the holidays. Gotta come up with daily activities for them lol

[@yeehabubba-9710]

If he’s watching your videos, he is wanting to learn what and how to resell. He sounds a bit jealous. Hopefully, he will no longer be a “know it all” in 2025. I will say, I am a new subscriber and I’ve learned a lot from watching your videos. Thanks, hope you have a safe and Happy New Years! 🎉

[@beckyparkco]

@@yeehabubba-9710 i appreciate your comment so much and am humbled to hear I’ve been able to assist at all in your reselling journey. Happy new year ❤️

[@heatherwillis5505]

I definitely learned to take KZbinrs' advice with a grain of salt -- especially after I bought $750 on wholesale inventory from my then-favorite reseller only to get severely flawed (period stained!) items. Only 10 of of the 150 items were listable -- the rest went to the trash or were donated. I still love watching reselling content (just not hers, haha), but I don't take their word as capital T-R-U-T-H just because they appear to be more successful than me. On that note: I have an aunt who quit her job to resell after hearing secondhand about my "success." I think she's doing fine, but it was so scary knowing that she took such a huge risk because of me - as a result, I'm trying to be more transparent and not romanticize reselling (even though I do love it).

[@beckyparkco]

@@heatherwillis5505 OMG this sounds awful. I’m so sorry to hear you lost so much money, but also glad to see that rather than staying bitter or giving up, you learned from the experience and moved on. Hoping that 2025 is filled with more growth and a ton of profit!

[@yuant5617]

Is there a 2024 summary coming? :)

[@beckyparkco]

If I can get my stuff together, yes. Pol

[@marisacowan603]

If everyone has the same re-selling concept then only a very few would make money.

[@dunkdave]

I'm new to your channel. You indicate you are a part time reseller and you don't pay your bills with your reselling income. How DO you pay all your bills?

[@grabzndealz8213]

Profit is profit made no matter how much you make, if you get $1.00 in profit, then you are ahead of the game not loosing. $4.00-$5.00 made in profit, not bad, Now you are able to go out and invest that money and turn over even more profit ($8.00-$10) because you doubled that that $4.00-$5.00. Meanwhile that guy who made the comment is most likely waiting for a sale. Time is money. A realtor does not want a listing to go stagnant, they want to sell fast. What us resellers do is no different.
