I had 382 transactions in August 2021. The wholesale channel shifted as I didn’t want to take on inventory and sit on it for two weeks. The market moves quickly and I lost that wholesale deal. Just because I’m out of the biz for a while, doesn’t mean the world stops turning. In September, I’ve…

I know a lot of people probably made a lot more money than I did using StockX. One of my peers did 40,000 dollars this year. This was not a big business year for me as most of my energy was devoted to getting AHN up and running correctly. I said in my first…
