I’ve been reselling since February of 2021 and had a couple mistakes but I know it’s taught me a lot about the business and I know I’m in the right path to get where I want to be.” “Stay consistent, patient and  be smart about what you decide to keep for yourself. I went a couple months without reselling between my start and now and one thing that caused that was me being lazy or not wanting to wait for the right customer to buy the shoes at the right price,” said Alfredo Delgado.
