Itās been about a week since I was last on here and Iāve been lifting and boosting so hereās a nifty guide on what Iāve learned boosts well and what doesnāt.
1) The app I boost on is Depop, which Iāve found is better than Mercari because it links to your PayPal, not bank. Depop takes 10% of what you sell similar to Mercari but Iāve found that Depop also doesnāt take out more and it doesnāt cost money to list on Depop.
2) When boosting, take pictures with BRIGHT backgrounds, in sunlight usually and DETAIL what youāre selling.
I made $100 in the last week from lifting and boosting Copic Markers. They sell like crazy if you sell them for $4.50 a pop and if you bundle them (I sold 10 for $50) then youāre getting a damn good deal (especially because I didnāt buy any of them)
šAnime Merchandiseš
Anime Pop Culture is selling fast, this means BNHA, Yur! On Ice, Vo!tron, etc. VoÅtron is a big one because itās an online series, so merchandise is somewhat rare to come across if itās not from a convention. HT sells some shirts and pins and patches. If you bundle that stuff, youāre golden.
šStuff with a Y2K feelš
*NSYNC, Britney Spears, Rugrats, etc tend to boost well on Depop because people are looking for that āVintageā look. Since itās big in stores like UO now too, you can be sure to make a pretty penny.
This one is obvious but everyone is looking for a Kanken. Specifically, The Kanken Mini. Itās around $70 in stores so if you boost for around $50/$55 then youāre set.
What doesnāt boost well:
Iāve found that handbags donāt tend to boost well, because on Depop nobody is really looking for them, on Poshmark thereās too many people selling the same bag, and on Mercari thereās too many bootlegs so youād have to give an arm and a leg to prove itās real.
The TF Peach Collection isnāt boosting like it used to. Whatās in now is the TF Gingerbread Palette, the TF Christmas collection and limited edition collections. If itās sold out online but not in stores, you can boost it real well. A lifting buddy of mine snagged some of the gingerbread matte lipsticks last year and now that theyāre back in season theyāre selling like crazy.
šLook for ISOās on Mercari and Depop. Serious ISOās, not a 12 year old putting out a āswap?ā for band merch. Those ISOās arenāt usually likely to be serious. But if someone is looking for something specific, or you can bundle what theyāre looking for (I.E: ISO for Copic Markers and SPN merchandise), then youāre good to go.
