Morals!I sense that trading is seen as a bit... awkward... within the community. Am I overthinking?
This isn't reflective on anyone - I think everyone is awesome, especially the people I tag in here.
We all know who the good traders are. We've all seen bad ones.

Get involved with the awesome people on Twitter (not like that).Twitter is fantastic for the buzz, the community and fostering your passion for shirts.
If you want to turn your passion into a profitable side-hustle then the community will support and encourage it.

Do your sums.Someone once said "the only way to make a small fortune in football is to start with a big one".
This might be true about shirts.
You probably won't become a millionaire. Sorry. But if you're smart your passion can give you some pocket money.

CONQUER THE WORLD!!!Ok I went in strong there, but you want to aim big. You need a big start.
(You don't need a big finish, that's something else.)
But if you start small you'll stay small. At least for the short term. You need to stump up cash to enter the game.

Don't say you're a shirt seller.
You've seen that Lynx Africa advert? The opposite happens.
The biggest issue is finding shirts cheaply. Make them come to you.
Instead you're a buyer. You're helping people, giving them money. It will help you source shirts for less.

So here's crunch time, the final two tips.
If you follow these tips I reckon you'll go far.
Or I'll have financially ruined you, one of the two.
Penultimate: THIS IS A FULL-TIME JOB. You can't join a union though. Perhaps @TheShirtUnion could organise something?

You, 2026:
(You will soon be living on a boat because Covid-24 has infested all known landmasses and this is the only safe place to be. You have created a desalination machine to make sea water drinkable. You only eat fish and seaweed.)
But you're rich!

Lastly... and in complete contraction to my previous thoughts
Yes it's a full-time job...
but it can never be more than a hobby.
Wow
I feel like this is the big reveal at the end of the Usual Suspects. Or I'm slowly peeling off my face mask to reveal the true identity.

That's it. That's what didn't work for me but what might work for you. Be good, don't hike prices, put the work in, be realistic about how much money you'll make, don't lose the passion!
