Reselling Scale Planner
Model your reselling growth over 12 months. See how reinvestment rate affects profit, inventory size, and when you'll hit time, cash, or storage limits.
Common Questions
How much should I reinvest in my reselling business?
It depends on your goals and risk tolerance. Reinvesting 50-70% of profits typically provides good growth while maintaining a cash buffer. Higher reinvestment (80%+) grows faster but leaves less margin for slow months. Lower reinvestment (30-40%) is safer but grows slower.
What's the biggest bottleneck for scaling reselling?
Usually time or cash. Time bottlenecks hit when you can't list, photograph, and ship fast enough. Cash bottlenecks hit when your inventory ties up capital faster than you sell. Storage constraints are third. This tool helps you identify which will hit you first.
How long does it take to scale a reselling business?
With consistent reinvestment and decent sell-through (30-45 days), most resellers can double their monthly profit within 6-9 months. Getting to $2,000-3,000/month profit typically takes 12-18 months of focused effort starting from $500-1,000 initial capital.
Should I focus on faster sell-through or higher margins?
Both matter, but sell-through often matters more for scaling. Items that sit for 90 days tie up cash that could be reinvested 3x. A $10 profit item that sells in 15 days often beats a $25 profit item that sits for 60 days when you factor compounding.
