Why resellers start with vintage

Low to get into, quick to learn, and riding one of retail's fastest-growing markets.

Getting started Low risk to startOne box, no trade account, no minimums. Order it like any other purchase and only scale once it's working.

HOW IT WORKS — WHEREVER YOU'RE STARTING FROM

NEVER SOLD BEFORE?

Your first box, step by step

1. Pick your box — start with the Branded Mix: recognisable labels, broad appeal, and a spread of categories so you learn what sells.

2. List your pieces — photograph in daylight, check sold listings on Vinted or Depop, and price against what actually sold.

3. Learn and reorder — track which brands and styles move fastest, then reorder around what works for your shop.

ALREADY SELLING?

Stop sourcing piece by piece

1. Skip the sourcing slog — one box replaces a weekend of car boots and charity shop runs, with every piece already graded.

2. Sharpen your niche — category boxes like Y2K, denim and gorpcore let you stock exactly what your audience buys.

3. Restock on your schedule — fresh categories added weekly, consistent grading every order, dispatched within 48 hours.

Frequently asked questions

I've never bought wholesale before — how does it work?

Simpler than you'd think. You order a box like any other online purchase — no trade account, no minimum order, no paperwork. We pack it with handgraded vintage, dispatch it within 2 working days, and it arrives ready to photograph and list. Many of our customers started with a single box and built from there.

Which box should I start with?

If you're brand new, the Branded Mix Reseller Box is the one we recommend — recognisable labels like Nike, Adidas, Ralph Lauren and Carhartt with broad appeal, so you learn what sells in your market before you specialise. If you already know your audience, pick the category box that matches it — Y2K women's is the fastest growing segment of the resale market.

What condition will the items be in?

Every item is hand-inspected and graded before dispatch. Our reseller boxes are Grade A/B: a blend of near-perfect pieces alongside items with light, honest signs of age — exactly what vintage buyers expect. Each product listing states its grade clearly, so you always know what you're buying before checkout.

How quickly will my box arrive?

We dispatch all orders within 2 full working days of payment. UK orders typically arrive within 1–2 business days after dispatch; EU orders 3–5 business days. Everything ships tracked, securely packed, and you'll get tracking by email the moment it leaves our warehouse.

What if some pieces don't sell?

That's part of reselling — not every piece moves at the same pace, and slower items aren't dead stock. Relist them with fresh photos, bundle them with stronger pieces, or drop the price and move on. Mixed boxes spread your risk across categories and brands, which is exactly why we recommend them for your first order. Our free Resellers Guide covers pricing and relisting strategies in detail.

Do I need a registered business to order?

No. Anyone can order — there are no trade account requirements and no minimum order quantities. Plenty of our customers started reselling as a side hustle alongside a full-time job and formalised the business later, once it was making consistent money.
