Welcome to The Business of Reselling, a podcast to help vintage & collectibles resellers grow their businesses, become full time, scale up, increase profits, and learn more about the lifestyle of 6-figure resellers. Your host Jessica Oman is an MBA graduate and co-owner of Storage Warrior, an online reselling business based in Canada, that was recognized as eBay Canada’s Micro Multi National Entrepreneur of the Year in 2019, and we are also eBay 25th Anniversary Hall of Fame inductees.
