Become a Secondhand Store Owner

Open Your Own Resale Store or Consignment Shop

If you love hunting for treasures and are looking for a retail business that is rewarding and inexpensive to start, then starting a second hand store is for you.

About a Career as a Secondhand Store Owner

As a second hand store owner you will have the freedom to make your own decisions and express your own creative spirit through your store. You have the luxury of selling the types of items you want to sell. As a second hand store owner you could sell:

Antiques and Collectibles
Books
Baby Equipment
CDs and DVDs
Clothing
Computers
Furniture
Housewares
Garden Equipment
Musical Instruments
Sporting Goods
Tools
Toys
Anything else that can be resold

When you start a secondhand store business, you can choose to open either a consignment shop or a resale shop. Consignment shops get items from clients and sell them for a percentage of the profits. If you open a consignment shop, you will have less risk because you can fill your store with merchandise without paying until it's sold. Resale shops typically buy used items outright and resell them. If you open a resale shop you will have more of an investment up front, but you could earn higher profits because you don't have to share profits with clients.
