Timecodes:
i make up to two grand a week on depop
and this is how i do it
this year i can earn up to 50k i source
the best of the best
vintage clothes rafi's closet has 183
000 followers making money is really
addictive
today i'm looking for any vintage gems
anything that i can kind of uh rework
i've already picked out it's really
beautiful i love the pattern another
really nice shirt that would look really
good
with high-waisted jeans maybe yes
love it love it the way i would describe
depop it's
like instagram and ebay brought together
you list your item
you interact with your followers either
you sell it for the full price or you do
an offer for them this i'd usually sell
for around 22. the jumpers i sell
or vests i sell for like 25 or 22.
like that's 2.7 kilo so that is
4 pounds 40 quid all right cheers i
bought this for 40
um and i'll probably sell it for about
400.
i was starting initially to clear my
closet and also
to make a little bit of cash on the side
i actually realised i could earn
a decent amount of money from it i'm
really excited
about these three pieces it's a brand
new style i have a feeling that it will
be
really popular i think the breakthrough
moment
was when i was going meeting other
sellers who were doing this full-time as
a business
so i started buying in more stock
listing on a regular basis
in the second year there was about a
thousand followers a week
coming in onto the shop this jumper here
has the tiniest hole i've got white
thread and i can
stitch that up on a weekly basis we can
make from anything from 70 to 120 sales
it's quite addictive if you start making
money out of it
right now i'm just going to quickly hand
stitch this
hole you can't really tell at all that
it's had a hole in it
so that's perfectly fine now
love depop dramas i've seen one where
can you wear these shoes quite well and
i'll give you an extra 60 pounds and i'm
like
no no so i'm going to turn this jumper
into
a jumper vest jumper vests are just
selling really quickly
it's really really simple
with pricing rework stuff it totally
depends what it is and the labor that's
gone into it
but if it's a piece that's actually
taken a day or a few days
it could be anything from 50 to 100. it
totally depends on the actual piece
i'll put this jewelry on to wear with
the clothes and the photographs and kind
of just sell
the items and show people how they can
style it themselves
so i like to spend my earnings either on
travel which is really good to be able
to explore markets
i like to buy vintage designer pieces
the experiences um anything that i can
do with my mates
so what i'll do now is i'll just
find a space in the garden with a good
backdrop
and take some photos
[Music]
i might take like six eight photos
just to make sure i've got the right
angle the photography is
actually one of the main parts of
selling because if it's not photographed
well
your customers can't really get the
value for it
get them in the shop it's really
exciting it's nice to be able to get
them out to people
incredible quality um model size
10 height five foot six instant buyers
on
and then just 22 pounds and then
post listing and it will
yeah so that's on now that's live
with v's closet i'm looking to expand it
into
getting more independent sellers
independent creatives involved and
actually
giving a platform to people um that want
to
make and sell just create a store
full of vintage and sustainable pieces
and then this is the one i reworked
so it'll be nice to see how quick that
sells
i think we're in for a good night
because we've already got some good
likes coming in
when i saw an item i feel excited and
happy
it's a really good feeling
[Music]
you
