How to Start a Vintage Store: 5 Steps from a Shop Owner

[@f.ono22]

The only thing I’m worried about is all the legal stuff like have a license and taxes It’s so confusing

[@MariaOliveira]

I know that can be! But really to get started online you don't need any of that ti start trying to sell a few things.

[@drumflip1253]

Great video.

[@MariaOliveira]

Thank you!!! 🙂

[@msinbalony]

great video.. so to the point and helpful. what about poshmark as a platform?

[@marthablack168]

If you had 100 items, would you post 10 a week or all at the same time? Is it bad for your items to just sit in the shop without activity?

[@coffeewiththeunknown8302]

Where do vendors finding clothing from the 1920-1960. Can you purchase in bulk online? If so what sites thank you video was helpful

[@sophie9091]

From experience as a frequent buyer of vintage clothes, things from 1920-1940 ish are the hardest to find good quality in big quantities. They are the oldest and hardest to take care of, and I find it's better to find a few really good quality pieces from those years and buy slightly more recent things in larger amounts

[@ms.gemini4657]

You are awesome my dear. Thx!

[@ShamarHassan]

Can your business have an llc and still be able to post on Etsy or Depop?

[@ArchivesandAssets]

Yes I think it would help actually. You need to differentiate from your personal/ business finances/ taxes

[@mailaiip98]

I really love vintage and want to own a vintage shop,but I don’t know where to buy clothing. If you can link wholesaled where I can buy in bulk. Thanks

[@LRRVintage]

Helpful. Thank you

[@cryptopirate8880]

Can we recreate some vintage clothing? I'm into mens vintage just add things to them that i would want to make it hipper ?

[@MariaOliveira]

Yes, go for it! It's a good idea.

[@chatestrella5774]

Thanks a lot.

[@rrrriiiccchhh]

Great video. You’ve got my support! I want to start a vintage shop as well and I already have an established eBay account. Is there more benefits to Etsy and Dpop over eBay?

[@willhodgson4107]

it depends what sort of vintage items you’re selling, for example if you’re selling 80s/90s jackets, sportswear etc or just clothes in general I would sell them on depop where the market for those items is large and is popular

[@holythrift]

I always double post! check out mercari too

[@cryptopirate8880]

Can you do both dpop and etsy or stick with one platform?

[@MariaOliveira]

I would try both and see which one works best for you.

[@holythrift]

i say both!

[@tanishamcgrone1325]

How to i ho about finding locstions to do a pop up shop?

[@MariaOliveira]

E-mail the shops you would be interested in doing pop-ups with.

[@AXavier007]

🥰🥰

[@primaprimavera357]

Vintage clothing business it's business, the same basics like for ANY clothing business. You have not told us the most important WHERE can we find vintage clothing. Your video is waste of time.

[@MariaOliveira]

Thanks! 🙂

[@riddyhaz7858]

Why don't you RESEARCH!!!

[@mc-ob7vp]

The video wasnt a waste of time! It did help me alot. You cant expect people to do everything for you. Do your own research🙄

[@MichelleCarrollimodelmichelle]

Idk about my IG account and switching it to my business. My account is all adult related content and I want to get away from that world. Also I don’t think the 88% of men on there would care much about buying anything from me 😂
