What is ROI?

ROI (Return on Investment) measures the profitability of an investment relative to its cost. For resellers, it tells you how much profit you made for every dollar spent on inventory.

How to Calculate ROI

The formula for ROI is:

ROI = (Net Profit / Total Investment) × 100

  • Net Profit: Your selling price minus all costs (item cost, shipping, fees).
  • Total Investment: The total amount you spent to acquire and sell the item (Item Cost + Shipping Cost + Repair Costs).

Example:

  • You buy a shirt for $10.
  • You sell it for $30.
  • After fees and shipping, your net profit is $15.
  • ROI = ($15 / $10) × 100 = 150%

What is a Good ROI for Reselling?

  • 100% ROI (2x): Generally considered the minimum target for many resellers. You double your money.
  • 50% ROI: Acceptable for high-volume, fast-moving items.
  • 200%+ ROI: Excellent. Common with thrift store finds or vintage items.
