What is a good amount of inventory to have invested?

Excellent Question!

This could vary for everyone depending on your budget. If your budget is small, be selective and take note of what season you are in.

A lot purchases that will be made for clothing and holiday items for the purpose of resale will be made offseason, possibly taking some time to see a return. This is why it could take a good year to build up inventory to sell all year ’round.

Right now stores are rotating out inventory, so you will see a lot of great deals out there, believe me, 75% off of Christmas items ARE around, you want to stock up fast!

Stick with your budget.

If you only set aside $500 or $1,000, then stick to it. In the begining it’s easy to get sucked into a good sale. But always remember you have to do your research! Just because it’s on sale, doesn’t mean it will always sell or sell for a profit.

Chances are if you’re keeping up with your research, or you’re keeping up with the Boutique Bargains Alerts Service that we offer with our Boutique Bargains Membership – you’ll see what sells well every season.
