figured iâd make a post about things iâve personally learned boosting since iâve only ever seen one other real post about it but itâs fucking awesome.keep in mind, i only started boosting the day after christmas, so itâs only been about two weeks now, and i only use P0shmark and Merccari but iâve already made over $700 :-) if u dont wanna read the whole thing you can skim by just checking out the stuff in italics
things that sell fast and are easy to lift:
-Better Than Sex mascaras (waterproof or normal) I sell these for about $13 on p0shmark and they normally go within a day or two
-Tarte shape tape (if you want to keep the fact that these are stolen items, iâd only ever lift the same shade or similar shades. itâs kinda shady if one days youâre selling a fair neutral and a week later youâre selling a dark saying âit was a christmas gift and doesnât match meâ like bitch we all know nobody thought for a sec that that was your color lmaooo)
-ANYTHING FENTY BEAUTY holy shit. small easy things in this line include the highlight palettes and the match stix trios
-NARS blushes (specifically Orgasm and Deep Throat bc theyâre popular on the internet) (i sell these in bundles of two and they go within the first 2 days)
-NARS Laguna bronzer
-BECCA highlighters
-Too Faced sweet peach lip glosses
-Kat Von D tattoo liner
-Anastasia brow wiz
-small jewelry from american eagle, anthropolgie, francescas, hot topic
things that sell fast and arenât so easy to lift:
-any of the fucking urban decay naked palettes
-any of the fucking too faced sweet peach/chocolate palettes
-subculture and modern renaissance holy shit these normally are out of my hands within minutes of being posted
-high end perfumes (i donât even fuck with this shit)
-FENTY palette
-literally like any palette that you hear beauty gurus on youtube mention ever
-anything limited edition
-shirts and sweats from PINK or VS (but mostly PINK) (but you pretty much have to make sure that logo is somewhere apparent on the garment bc thatâs all people care about for real)Â
pretty much anything from the following brands will sell within a week at a decent price:
-too faced, urban decay, tarte, anastasia, MAC, NARS, Lancome, Kat Von D, Benefit, Marc Jacobs, Chanel, PINK and VS, brandy melville, free people, Calvin Klein
things you think might sell fast but actually wonât
-bras from PINK or VS (bc there are so many fucking sizes)
-foundations & concealers (bc there are so many fucking shades)
-skin care products (bc no one really gives a shit)
-stuff from Lush (people are hella sus of buying Lush products from places other than lush idky) (but if youâre gonna youâre gonna want to make sure to post a pic of the expiration date and if itâs outdated the price has to decrease by like 70% sorry babes)
-anything high-end that isnât spoken a lot about by beauty gurus on youtube (example: laura geller. her shit is awesome but nobody on p0sh cares about it bc she doesnât give her shit away to youtubers for free reviews)
other random tips
-if youâre not selling a whole lot or you want to sell items quicker for whatever reason, do research on what are the hottest products in the hottest brands at any given time. limited edition shit will always sell well after itâs removed from the shelves, but people will still buy stuff from you even if itâs still selling in stores. example: look up âbest drugstore lipsticksâ and lift 5 of them and sell all 5 as a bundle for $15-$20. example: watch popular beauty gurus on youtube and their 2017 favorites videos. products that are repeated multiple times by multiple different people should go into a lift list for you. items like this, at the moment, include: tarte shape tape, tart gifted mascara, urban decay perversion mascara, laura merceir powder (you can get the tiny ones at sephora a lot of the time), mario badescu facial spray, MAC lipstick in velvet teddy and honey love, urban decay all nighter setting spray, NARS laguna bronzer, anastasia brow wiz, any of the mascaras by benefit, naked heat palette, sweet peach palette
-take pics of the highlighters youâre trying to sell in good ass lighting where those bitches TWINKLE. this sounds like a dumb tip but good lighting (for everything really) is really important iâve found
-keep in mind the shipping price on whatever youâre selling. on p0sh itâs a flat rate of like $7 for the buyer, so you canât sell something at full price or even $7 beneath full price because that will make no sense to the buyer. As a rule of thumb, if itâs a lifted good iâm selling, i sell it for about 45% off. if 45% off still doesnât cover shipping costs then you have to knock it down a few more bucks. So basically anything that sells at retail price for $14 or less youâll have to cut it down more than 45% in order for the buyer to consider it a good sale. Often times people on p0sh will ask if you will sell the same thing to them on Merrrcari and some ppl think this is sus but honestly people just want the better shipping options Merrcari offers
-BUNDLE ITEMS. for exmaple: instead of just selling ONE pantie for $5 to 6 people and then having to package 6 boxes with one pantie each, just sell 5 panties as a bundle for $15-$20 to one person. this is still a good sale for the buyer, you make more money quicker, and you have less work to do
-if you want to be cautious of anyone finding out that the items youâre selling are stolen, make every clothing piece the same size (or at least around the same size) with maybe the occasional âthis was a christmas gift and itâs too large/small for me yadda yadda yaddaâ. Also, you DONâT have to and really SHOULDNâT provide âreasonsâ as to why youâre selling everything youâre selling. non-suspicious people donât even consider explaining why theyâre selling the item, and if you prelude every sale with a âthis was too big/smallâ, ânot my colorâ, â my fashion style has changedâ etc, itâll look more like you have something to hide than if you didnât say anything at all. Also, i know youâll probably be apprehensive of including any real pictures of yourself for your info page, but the more innocent and non suspicious and typical you look to the public the more typical you will seem. you could also prob find pics online and use those and use like a fake college
-include pics of the serial numbers of EVERY makeup product you purchase and boost, assuming you really did steal it and its authentic. this eliminates any suspicions that youâre selling fake goods, which is a common suspicion people have when one is selling a lot of high-end product for relatively cheap, with new things constantly showing up in their closet
-take good fucking pictures. just fucking do it. it helps so much. it makes you look professional and gives people reason to trust you and your âbusinessâ. also be fucking nice
-pretty stuff will always sell faster than ugly stuff. this is why palettes and highlighters go quicker than, say, skin care. skin care items are often items that have to be sought out, where as the sweet peach pallete is something someone may not have known they even wanted until they saw it posted. you know? doesnât matter how high end that skin care is bby people on apps like p0sh and merc are only window shopping for shit they dontâ have to worry about not working out. appeal to the single moms drunk on wine scrolling through their phones at 11pm
-package your shit nicely and be a kiss ass with a lil note or free gift or some shit. people eat that up Iâm telling yaand vwalla, start rolling in dat dough bby
