"Hi Side Hustle School team, I'm Jasmine, a longtime listener. For the past few months, I've become quite the thrift store aficionado, particularly with my local Goodwill stores. I've found some amazing deals on vintage clothing and unique home decor that I've been able to flip for a decent profit on platforms like eBay and Etsy. It started as a hobby, but now I'm considering taking it more seriously as a side hustle. My question is, how can I scale this venture effectively? Are there specific strategies for sourcing and selling that could help me turn this hobby into a sustainable side hustle? Additionally, I'd love to know more about managing logistics, such as inventory and shipping, to keep my customers happy and streamline the process as I grow. Thanks for any advice you can share!"
