I sat down with Shannon Jean, who's built and sold over 10 companies, and we talked all about the art of reselling. He shared how he made $557K net profit selling luxury handbags, and why building systems is the real game—no matter what category you're in.
We covered how he connects directly with eBay and Poshmark execs to avoid account issues, how he uses liquidation sites like B-Stock, and why category only matters 30%—the rest is all systems and execution.
Shannon also dropped gold on customer service, like his “two tokens” method to de-escalate unhappy buyers, and how flipping industrial gear or niche apparel can create huge upside if you know how to sell it right.
Follow him on X (@ShannonJean), where he shares deals and posts about his $5 mastermind. He’s also the cohost of the Business Brain podcast at businessbrain.show.
