Yung friend ko ganito yung business. NiPM ko na nga eh sabi nya if you want na good quality yung and walang tapon and damages usually mga 15k daw isang bundle yun yung inaalok nya saken. Japan box daw kaya magaganda and sakto sa size ng mga pinoy. Ang laman daw nun is aroung 360pcs, so sabi niya pwede mo benta ng 80-150. Laki nga daw talaga ng tubo. Meron na syang 3 branch around Metro Manila. Eh sabi ko naman di ko pa carry maglabas ng 15k capital magiipon muna ako. Yung mga nakikita ko na 5k lang ang bundle sa sulit mga panget daw yun eh. Meron pa akong isang friend, bumili nung mga ganun lang sa sulit ayun di naman nabenta kasi ang papanget daw at ang dudumi.

^hindi daw sis eh pero based on my research, and sabi na rin nya, marami daw klaseng ukay eh. Merong Class A, B etc tapos merong Premium bundle, eto siguro yung mga mahal na talaga and walang sayang. Di ko pa carry bumili ng 15k na bundle haha pero malaki daw talaga tubo imagine 360pcs ang laman nun so mga P42 lang puhunan mo per piece.

We used to have this business when I was in college.

Really, it's not difficult to find a supplier. Just asking around will lead you to a supplier. The real challenge is not the source of supplies though...

...but on how are you going to sell it.

Finding the right location for your "random" design products is a challenge.

If you can find a way to sell your stuff initially without renting a place, that will be great.
Parang testing ka muna.

Or maybe you can find a retail store who will be willing to share her space for you for a fraction of the cost.

My point is, minimize your risk by not spending a lot initially until it's a proven business for you. What works for other people may not necessarily will work for you.

Frankly, i'd rather go to divisoria than from ukay source.

Ganoon nag simula [textspeak!] "Sari Sari" boutique that we see in the malls.

wow gusto ko din itry itong buisness na ito. kasi yung iba kong officemates mahilig din bumili sa ukay e. yun nga lang ang kaya ko lang din siguro e 5k. masyadong malaki ang 15k. siguro mamili muna ako ng magagandang styles tapos ipost ko sa net. ionline ko muna while medyo busy pa sa work.

curious lang ako, paano nila nakukuha mga items na yan? tinatapon ba yan sa ibang bansa or benta din?

Ganito business ng parents ko.  Maganda siya noon sa lugar namin, ngayon kasi tabi tabi na bawat kanto halos meron.  Medyo saturated na ang market (sa lugar lang namin).  Sa mga mag start pa lang ng ganitong business, malakas pagkakitaan diyan yung mga pants, lalo na kapag may mga nakuha kayo signature brand, syempre iba price.

Hi im currently on this business. Super ok siya i started with baby clothes yung sizes for (0-24months). I ordered half bundle lang tapos it contains onesies, frogsuits, bibs, bonnets and etcetera. mga roughly 150-200pcs yung half bundle nun.

I sell them online sa ebay, facebook and my own website. mga 1 month bumalik na yung puhunan ko. so i continued, right now im looking for a commercial space na to sell it. and im also selling na din ukay bundles. kaso mas maliit kita pag bundles rather than selling it for retail.

Im only selling my products for only P35-100 pesos. much cheaper sa mga kalaban ko online. kase i mas naniniwala ako na if you sell it na mas lower price mas mabilis siya mauubos at mas mabilis na mababawi yung puhunan mo. kesa naman ang mahal ng benta mo tapos yung pera mo hindi mo napapaikot.

Hi pasensya na po kase hindi pa ko nakakapag pm eh. Opo online ko po biniyuyungbenta sa facebook ebay and own website. Yung half bundle pala for baby items and kids lang po yun. 4500 yun bili ko ng sakin sis. Ishare ko po yun alam ko na supplier para makapag business na din kayo. Kung gusto ninyo start nadin muna kayo sa ganyan. Mabenta din ang mga pang babies. Hindi ko alam paano ko ipost yung number ng supplier eh bawal kase signs of advertisement daw. hehe.
