When we first sold on eBay, it was all clothes all the time. When we purchased our home, we renovated an old garage into a 500 square foot climate controlled clothing storage. It felt BIG compared to what we were used to. We built these rolling clothing hangers that also stored shoes. We were psyched. No more digging into piles or fooling with bins.

Over the years as reselling has become popular, clothing became a grind because it’s the gateway drug for anyone new to the scene. We still have a lot of clothes for sale and still scavenge them when we can get high quality for cheap, but our focus is on all the weird stuff we now love to find and sell. Possibility for better profits.

We’re now in the process of taking over half of that 500 square feet room to turn into a huge laundry room for our rental business. We’re currently washing all the towels and linens of three houses (each with three bedrooms) sometimes several times a week. Currently we do it all in our tiny 50 square foot utility room. It’s laundry madness. So we’re going to build a personal laundromat.

We put all our clothes on sale and some sold this week. We may do some culling soon. Evolution.
