Exactly, (related story) my mom went back home to Nigeria three months ago. lol she tried doing the usual "I'll buy these nice shoes from Goodwill and send them back home where people won't know the real value". Great plan, she even paid the barrels/shipping (hundreds of dollars), everything looked right, except she didn't execute it well. Ended up getting scammed by her own friend (lol don't laugh).

Now she's trying to bring that demographic of my country to the U.S. (I'm trying to stop her). Because selling USED shit here is really pointless (unless of course it's eBay). She wants to now buy it from Goodwill and sell it at a Flea...I'm like "mom...mom...mommy, please don't do this". Who would go to a flea and pay x2/x3 the price of something when they know a Goodwill is around the corner?!?! AND SHE'S NOT EVEN SELLING NAMEBRANDS! AHHHHHHH What's worse is she says she doesn't need my help but I know I'll be the one carrying her shit. She doesn't even know she'll need stands/signs/price tags/bags/etc. I see where I get my entrepreneurial side from now.

That being said, lol don't sell used shit unless you know fashion and know what people would buy re-used. Or you'll end up with:
