How I did it: It's a lot easier than I thought - I was caught up in making mistakes. So I googled around for other's experiences, and once I found a subculture of fashion blogs where people are actively buying cheap thrift clothes, presenting them well and selling them for profit, I was give a lot of confidence. There are hundreds of thousands of people doing this, there's no reason to hold back!

Lessons & tips: Take good photographs, try to give as much information on the item as you can (ie: with clothes, you should list the type of material and whether it's machine washable), and be patient. Using words like "L@@K!" really doesn't help as much as it does being clear in the title.
