What is your take on this

My husband and I have been reselling for about 6+ months now, and we’ve officially reached the point where our profits are enough to cover our rent! 🙌 That’s huge for us. It’s been a grind — hours of sourcing, listing, packing, and posting on social media (and honestly, we could probably be even more consistent).

But here’s the thing that’s been on my mind — not a single one of our sales has come from friends or family. 😅 Out of everyone we know, maybe 2–3 people ever like or comment on our reselling posts… and two of those are our moms 💜😂

Is that just how it goes? Do most resellers notice the same thing — that support usually comes from strangers before people you actually know?

Anyway, just had to get that off my chest. The progress is real, even if the likes aren’t showing it.

Wow, that's not the kind of person you want in your life. Sorry to hear that. I can see why you need to protect yourself, in that case.

I've had such great experiences selling for family and friends, for a 50-50 split of the net. People are happy to clean their homes and make some money in the process. I must be the exception to the rule? 

I just had an old friend bring me bags of clothing and shoes. She gave me permission to donate anything I don't want to list. 

I told her I'll provide her with the Order Details on each sale, as an accounting. She said she didn't need any paperwork -- she trusts me (and she can). These are the kinds of friends we need in our lives.  I am gathering from these comments that friends like her are very few and far between.
