Thrift Profit Cheat Sheet

Before you buy

• Snap the item and note the rack price immediately.
• Compare to a conservative resale range — not the best-case comp.
• Subtract marketplace fees, shipping, and supplies from projected net.
• Skip when margin is thin or authenticity risk is high.

After you buy

• Log store cost and condition notes the same day.
• Photograph tags, flaws, and completeness before listing prep.
• Set a target list price range — revise after sold comps research.

Honest limits

Printable-style buy math

• Low sold comp − fees − shipping − cost = leftover. If leftover is thin, skip.
• Use one marketplace fee percent at a time.
• Log cost the same day you buy.
