Profit doesn't have to be a mystery or a dirty word. In this candid, seller-led session, members of the Vintage Sellers Community gathered for a focused conversation on what it actually takes to turn a profit as a vintage seller.

‍

From pricing philosophies to revenue tracking habits, this workshop cracked open the books (figuratively) and got real about what works and how to build a financially sustainable shop.

Together, they covered how they think about sourcing, how they set prices, how they track revenue and profit, and how their models have shifted over time.

If you've ever wanted to peek into someone else's spreadsheet, or at least understand the thinking behind the numbers, this session is a must-watch.
