The Reseller's Seasonal Calendar: What to Buy and When
Reselling is a seasonal business. Buy against the season, sell into it — but only if you can afford to hold. Here's the rhythm.
Buy low season, sell high season
Coats, knitwear and boots are cheapest in spring and summer, and sell best from October to January.
Shorts, dresses, swimwear and light trainers are cheapest in autumn/winter and sell from April to July.
The cash-flow trap
Holding stock for six months means your money earns nothing while you wait. Only buy far off-season when the discount is genuinely large.
Beginners should stay closer to the current season until cash flow is comfortable.
Year-round movers
Sneakers, denim, branded T-shirts and hoodies sell all year with milder seasonal swings — they're the backbone of a stable closet.

When should I buy winter clothes to resell?
