Just a decade ago, lab-grown diamonds accounted for only a tiny share of the global diamond market. But with manufacturing rapidly expanding in China and India, prices have plunged, transforming what was once a niche product into a mainstream choice. Today, lab-grown diamonds are fast gaining ground. In this podcast, jewellery expert Lovejot Dhunna explains how the resale value of lab-grown diamonds works and what buyers should know when buying the product.

Serial returners might think they are environmentally conscious, but new research shows they contribute a disproportionately high amount of emissions compared to other online shoppers. Assistant Professor Heleen Buldeo Rai from VUB Mobilise discusses: Increasing purchases and increasing returns The very high return rates for fashion Higher returns online compared to in-store purchases How to define "serial returners", including minimum threshold of purchases Environmental awareness of serial returners What causes serial returners to return goods bought online? Does the e-commerce sector have to take responsibility for encouraging this behaviour? Returns policies and consumer behaviour What tools could e-commerce retailers use to reduce returns? Retailer practices for resellable returned items Resale potential of returned items Sustainability implications of returns, and of serial return behaviour The distances returned items have to travel Serial returners are responsible for a disproportionate amount of emissions The research "Consumer heterogeneity behind e-commerce returns and emissions" can be downloaded via a link on the Postal Hub Podcast website - thepostalhub.com

A lot of people have side hustles nowadays -- a way to make some extra dough. And whether you're spending less or earning more... you're trying to find ways to stretch the budget. KSL Investigator Matt Gephardt took a closer look at this trend of "resale hustles" to see if the math actually equals out. He joins Greg and Holly to share what he learned.

Michelle starts with the news of the day: the removal of the 15-month wait-out period. From today, private residential property owners who purchase a non-subsidised HDB resale flat without taking an HDB housing loan will no longer be subject to the 15-month wait-out period. Why has the Government made the change, and what could it mean for Singapore's HDB resale market? Then we turn to China, where the country's semiconductor ambitions have taken another leap. Chipmaker CXMT has made a spectacular stock market debut, with shares soaring nearly 500% and its founder pledging billions of dollars in employee bonuses. Meanwhile, Apple has reclaimed the title of the world's most valuable company from Nvidia, while SpaceX has seen its valuation shrink by the equivalent of an entire Tesla. We'll also unpack mixed earnings and the latest results from Singapore-listed REITs.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

November is synonymous with Black Friday, great deals but what cost? Over consumption is endangering our already fragile planet. Is it time to change our ways? This week Do You Really Know is highlighting concepts and initiatives about reducing our consumption. You might have heard of ‘reduce, reuse, recycle' a motto with the aim of encouraging us to think about how we consume and consider the impact that buying lots of stuff has on the planet. But now the high end department store Selfridges has launched a new campaign, ‘Project Earth' to try and change the way we shop: resale, repair, rental and refill is their response to customers' growing demands for sustainable shopping and move away from fast fashion and disposable goods. What is the aim? How will it work? What other changes has Selfridges planned? In under 3 minutes, we answer your questions !

We are joined by one of my wonderful coaching clients, Lisa Lantz, the brilliant owner of The Getup—a community-focused resale store that sells everything from newborn and adult clothing to accessories, kids' gear, and toys. Lisa is just a few short weeks away from graduating from the Inventory Genius program, and she has made absolute leaps and bounds over the past year. We have never had a guest on the show with this specific type of inventory-based business model, and the breakthroughs she has made with her numbers are going to blow you away. Whether you run a traditional retail boutique, a resale shop, or even a dropshipping business, Lisa's journey holds some massive gold nuggets for you. Key Takeaways from This Episode: Consignment vs. Buy-Outright: Understand the financial risk of buying inventory outright from your customers versus running a traditional consignment model, and why your margins must reflect that risk. The Fear of Policy Changes: Why we need to "stay out of our customers' pocketbooks" and make business-first decisions without letting fear dictate our financial policies. Cracking the Cash-to-Credit Ratio: How tracking the exact ratio of cash payouts to in-store credit (which, for Lisa, sits consistently at 70% cash and 30% credit) allows for highly accurate cash-flow planning. Data-Driven Curating: Moving away from buying inventory just because "it's in good shape" to hand-curating based on high-margin, fast-turning categories (like discovering women's wear drove over 50% of Lisa's sales!). The Power of One-Dollar Levers: How focusing on just one simple lever—like raising your average ticket size by a small margin through employee training—can bridge massive sales gaps. Inside the Conversation 1. The Cash vs. Credit Conundrum Because The Getup is a buy-outright resale store, Lisa's customers can choose between cash or in-store credit (which now offers 10% more value) on the spot. When we first started working together, this model created a lot of cloudiness around her COGS (Cost of Goods Sold). We realized Lisa was paying up to 40% back in cash just to support her community and keep inventory coming in. But when you buy outright, you take on 100% of the risk if that item doesn't sell. We adjusted her payouts down, and despite her fear that she'd drive people away, not a single customer complained. "We hold off on making really important financial decisions out of fear of what people will think or say, and a lot of times, that story is only created in our head." 2. Finding the Ratios and Taking Control of Cash Flow Once we started digging into the data, we discovered a highly consistent pattern: 30% of her buyouts were store credit, and 70% were cash. Knowing this ratio changed everything. Instead of guessing, Lisa can now accurately map out her open-to-buy plan and know exactly how much hard cash she needs on hand each month. No more putting out daily financial fires! 3. Curating with Intention (and Saying "No" Gently) In resale, your inventory is a daily surprise. Lisa used to accept items simply because they were nice. Now, she uses her category data to make smart buying decisions. When she realized women's apparel made up over 50% of her sales, she knew exactly where to focus her efforts. We also talk about the delicate art of saying "no" to individual black-bag drop-offs without making it personal. 4. Moving the Needle on Average Ticket Size Our latest project is bridging a big sales growth gap not by wishing for random traffic, but by focusing on average ticket size. Lisa shares her strategy for bringing her part-time team into the numbers conversation, recording training videos, and why she is temporarily stepping back onto the sales floor to spot the operational puzzle pieces herself.

And The Update Is…a weekly beat on the industry . Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

In our latest Hearing the Council interview, Ward 6 Councilmember Charles Allen discusses two newsy topics he has recently tackled—the regulation of entertainment ticket resales, and the future of transportation at the new RFK stadium. In regards to the RESALE Act, we dig into the mechanics of the proposed legislation, including the bill's price caps, the ban on speculative and surveillance pricing, the required registration of ticket resellers, and mandatory all-in pricing. On the RFK transportation front, we discuss what is planned to get the District ready for game day in 2030. We focus especially on the Gold Line, the proposed, dedicated bus line serving the stadium via H Street, and how it could be the prototype for streamlined bus service elsewhere in the District. For the “fun round,” we have Councilmember Allen once again try to match past/present colleagues with a range of hypothetical tasks, from teaching a kindergarten class to clothes shopping to putting on a puppet show.

AP correspondent Ed Donahue reports prices are still high to see the remaining World Cup games.

The same handbag. Thirty different platforms. Hundreds of dollars between listings. And no way to know what it's actually worth.In this episode of HappyPorch Radio, Barry O'Kane speaks with Chris Lucas, founder and CEO of Secondsense, a platform that aggregates luxury resale listings from over 30 vendors, normalises their attributes, and tells consumers what a product is really trading at. Chris describes it as the Google Flights for luxury resale.Chris's background is unusual for the fashion space. Stanford AI, senior machine learning engineer at Instagram, then Harvard Business School. He built a prototype while still a student, a TikToker put it on her channel, the site crashed overnight, and Chris opened a fundraise the next morning. He didn't wait until the product was ready. He didn't wait until he graduated. He just ran.What's most striking about the conversation is Chris's view on where value sits now. He argues the modelling layer, the application layer, and the hardware layer are all effectively democratised. Someone can duplicate a website in minutes using tools like Lovable or Claude Code. The only thing that can't be replicated is years of clean, structured, proprietary data and the domain expertise to know what to do with it. For Secondsense, that means knowing that a caviar leather Chanel sells differently from lambskin, or that champagne hardware changes the price, details a layperson would never spot.✨ In this episode:Chris explains why the secondhand luxury market is broken: fragmented supply, opaque pricing, and one-of-one SKU processing that leads to chronic supply-demand mismatchWe hear the story of the TikTok video that crashed his prototype and the snap decision to fundraise before graduating HarvardChris shares his framework for thinking about the AI stack (data, models, applications, hardware) and why only one of those layers is defensibleBarry and Chris discuss why domain knowledge matters as much as technical skill, and why hiring people who understand both is a sportChris gives an honest account of Secondsense's sustainability story: it's real, but it's not what's driving his customers' purchasing decisionsWe explore the vision for scaling beyond luxury handbags into any product category that trades inefficiently on the resale market, from liquor and art to wine, electronics, and even equestrian saddlery

When James Reinhart walked into a Cambridge consignment store with a bag of business school clothes in 2008 – a J.Crew cashmere sweater, a Brooks Brothers coat – and was told they had no resale value, he didn't accept the answer. "I can't believe this cashmere sweater is worth zero," Reinhart tells Ken. That moment became Thredup. Sixteen years later, the company he co-founded as a broke ex-teacher earning $24K a year is a public marketplace approaching $400M in annual revenue, with 25M+ items sold this year across 35,000 brands.In this episode of The Retail Pilot, Ken sits down with James Reinhart – Co-Founder and CEO of Thredup – to unpack how a former 8th grade teacher built one of the most operationally complex companies in fashion. They explore the founding story, the "Netflix of shirts" pitch, the unit economics driving 80% gross margins, the Resale-as-a-Service partnerships with J.Crew, Athleta, Steve Madden, and Cotopaxi, the peer-to-peer launch competing with Poshmark and Depop, and the 4-day work week that became permanent.In this episode you'll learn:How a Cambridge consignment rejection and a J.Crew cashmere sweater became the genesis of ThredupWhy the first year ran on $70K with 7 employees – and why Boston VCs passed before Silicon Valley said yesThe "Netflix of shirts" original pitch – and why it was a "terrible business" that taught them everythingHow Thredup hit ~$400M in annual revenue and a 25% YoY increase in active buyersThe KPIs James actually tracks: contribution margins, LTV to CAC, and units per hour throughputThe supply-side strategy: why dominating sellers is the playbook (and what Airbnb, OpenTable, and Spotify taught him)Resale-as-a-Service: how J.Crew, Athleta, Steve Madden, and Cotopaxi power resale with ThredupThe direct listings launch: how Thredup is competing with Poshmark and DepopInside Thredup's distribution centers: hundreds of thousands of items processed daily, 1M+ photos a dayThe Dallas warehouse: 4 football fields, 4 stories high, 10M items, $600–700M in throughputHow AI is powering search, discovery, and Pinterest-board-to-shop curationThe 4-day work week experiment that never ended – and the sabbatical and maker day policies before itWhy Thredup went public – and why James thinks it made the company "so much better"This episode is for you if: you're a founder building operational moats, a retail operator exploring Resale-as-a-Service, an investor tracking unit economics, a brand leader weighing circularity, or an HR leader curious about the 4-day work week.Subscribe to The Retail Pilot for more conversations with retail leaders shaping the future of commerce.If you missed our last episode, where Denise Incandela unpacks Walmart's fashion transformation, be sure to tune in.Connect with Ken:-Follow Ken Pilot Ventures on LinkedIn, Instagram, and YouTube. Hosted on Ausha.

Grab our breakdown of the 5 Low-Cost Businesses That Make $1 Million: https://www.franchiseempire.com/lowcost?utm_source=fejun232026This video explores the complexities of purchasing a resale franchise, categorizing opportunities as either high-performing "diamonds" or underperforming "dogs". The speakers discuss the competitive nature of finding quality resales, noting that prime locations are often acquired by private equity firms or existing franchisees before reaching the open market. While resales offer benefits like established revenue and existing staff, they also present challenges such as poor community reputation, high premiums for profitable units, and difficulty securing SBA financing for businesses that are losing money. Ultimately, the video emphasizes the importance of thorough due diligence, including examining financials and online reviews, and being prepared to act quickly when a desirable opportunity arises.------------------Considering Investing In A Franchise?

Just how niche is the secondhand retail market?Secondhand retail is one of the fastest-growing forces in retail, with the market expected to approach $80 billion by 2030. According to America's Thrift CEO Chris Homewood, that scale would make the category larger than the GDP of more than 130 countries.But the story is bigger than growth.As consumers spend more of their lives in digital environments, they are increasingly seeking experiences that feel tangible, personal, and unexpected. Thrift shopping delivers exactly that. Unlike traditional e-commerce, where shoppers search for a specific item, secondhand retail is built around discovery. The thrill comes from finding something you weren't looking for, a premium jacket for $9, a collectible hidden in plain sight, or a one-of-a-kind piece that turns a routine shopping trip into a treasure hunt.That experience is resonating with a new generation of shoppers. More than 60% of Gen Z consumers now shop secondhand, driven by a combination of value, sustainability, and a desire for experiences that feel authentic. The result is a customer base that spans income levels and demographics, proving that thrift has evolved far beyond its traditional roots.For America's Thrift, the opportunity is clear. The company operates 35 stores across the Southeast and is pursuing disciplined expansion, opening approximately five stores annually while building a footprint that stretches northward. Supported by strong community partnerships and a business model centered on convenience, the company is positioning itself for long-term growth.As retail continues to evolve, one thing remains constant: people still crave discovery. And in an increasingly digital world, the joy of finding something unexpected may be one of the most powerful drivers of all.What You'll HearWhy the secondhand market is projected to approach $80 billion by 2030The surprising reason Halloween is the biggest season in thrift retailHow thrift retailers source, process, and price millions of donated itemsWhy Gen Z is helping drive the growth of secondhand shoppingHow America's Thrift is expanding through profitable store growthWhat landlords and shopping center owners are seeing in the rise of thrift retailChapters00:01 – Chris Homewood's retail journeyFrom the Marine Corps to Circuit City, Target, Ross, private equity turnarounds, and now leading America's Thrift.04:08 – What is America's Thrift Stores?A look at the business model, footprint, mission, and charity partnerships.05:57 – Who shops at thrift stores today?Why thrifting now appeals to both value shoppers and younger consumers.07:21 – How thrift retailers acquire inventoryThe donation ecosystem that fuels the business.08:22 – The operations behind inventory flowWhy convenience, processing speed, and execution matter more than buying.10:49 – The power of fresh inventoryHow nine-day inventory turns keep customers coming back.13:21 – Resale, apparel, and the growth of secondhandUnderstanding the size and trajectory of the market.15:06 – Store size, pricing, and profitabilityHow America's Thrift evaluates locations and prices merchandise.16:44 – The growth strategyWhy the company is focused on disciplined expansion and profitable new stores.23:37 – Why secondhand retail is acceleratingThe consumer trends creating long-term momentum for thrift.26:41 – How traditional retailers view thriftCompetition, co-tenancy, and traffic generation.29:28 – E-commerce versus physical retailWhy brick-and-mortar remains central to the thrift experience.34:01 – The future of America's Thrift StoresWhat's next for the company and the broader secondhand category.

Resale is forcing brands to rethink product design, pricing, and customer acquisition from the ground up. Ryan Rowe (Archive) and Alison Buchanan (Lululemon) join Brian and Alicia to unpack how lululemon's Like New evolved from a sustainability pilot into a meaningful commercial channel. We unpack messy reverse logistics, the AI agents now quietly running warehouse decisions, and the organizational vision required to make circular commerce work across a vertically structured enterprise. When the Future of Commerce Is Circular, Every Brand Is A Secondhand Brand Key takeaways: Resale has shifted from a sustainability gesture to a commercial channel with P&L accountability. Branded resale wins where third-party marketplaces can't: data integrity, trust, and brand language. Like New must operate to tackle a fundamentally different eCommerce problem — one-of-one inventory breaks mainline systems. AI is moving from assisting warehouse operators to serving as autonomous agents that optimize pricing and routing. Circular commerce is an acquisition engine; roughly half of resale shoppers are new to the lululemon brand. Key quotes: [02:41] "It's a very technical problem. It's a large-scale platform problem that touches virtually every piece of a brand's business." — Ryan Rowe [06:12] "Commerce is, is obviously just a space that we are starting to realize is a strong commercial lever… Like New for our business is really sitting at this intersection of business and impact." — Alison Buchanan [08:40] "Resale of lululemon was happening at scale already all around us. And it was either let it happen without us… or uphold our brand standards." — Alison Buchanan [26:26] "A lot of customers are actually trying brands for the first time with a used item… because it's a way for them to test things like fit and material and quality at a much lower barrier to entry." — Ryan Rowe In-Show Mentions: Archive Like New by Lululemon Associated Links: Check out Future Commerce on YouTube Check out Future Commerce Plus for exclusive content and save on merch and print Subscribe to Insiders and The Senses to read more about what we are witnessing in the commerce world Listen to our other episodes of Future Commerce Have any questions or comments about the show?

What happens when a 57-year-old family resale business goes viral on TikTok? In this episode of The Get Thrifty Podcast, host Maggie Scivicque talks with Margy McCarthy of Elite Repeat, a beloved family-owned consignment and resale shop in the Chicago suburbs founded by her grandmother in 1969. Margy shares how one TikTok video helped introduce a decades-old resale business to a whole new generation of secondhand shoppers, vintage fashion lovers, and consignors across the country. Margy talks about leaving corporate America, stepping into her grandmother's resale business, launching Elite Repeat's first website, growing on TikTok and Instagram, and using social media to bring new life to a shop built on word of mouth, community, trust, and timeless fashion. She also shares why vintage fur coats, designer resale, consignment, and one-of-a-kind secondhand pieces are making a major comeback. This episode is perfect for thrifters, resellers, consignment shop owners, vintage fashion collectors, secondhand shoppers, small business owners, and anyone interested in how social media can transform a legacy resale business.

Why trust, transparency, and long-term relationships are essential to successful consignment businesses.

Everybody on reseller YouTube screams "BUY THIS, IT'S A FLIP!" — but should you actually grab it? In this episode we break down the difference between a good item and a good item for YOU. Just because someone says it sells doesn't mean it'll sell in your market, on your platform, to your buyers.We're covering the real questions to run before anything goes in your cart: comping sold prices (not asking prices), factoring in fees and shipping, sell-through time, storage reality, and whether it even fits your brand. Plus the FOMO sourcing trap that turns "it was only a dollar" into a storage unit you're paying for — and the one time it IS worth buying on faith.If your Money Mountain is full of stuff you bought because a stranger online swore it was gold, this one's for you.

What drives a generation to skip credit card debt yet confidently spend on a vintage Balenciaga or a Fendi Baguette? In this episode, Hitha Herzog, Chief Research Officer at H Squared Research, breaks down the economic and cultural forces shaping how Gen Z shops today. From the rise of resale and the circular economy to the growing popularity of buy-now-pay-later services, Hitha explains how younger consumers balance aspiration with caution. She also unpacks the concept of the K-shaped economy, revealing why two shoppers can experience the same market in completely different ways—and how that impacts luxury, fashion, and consumer behavior.Key Takeaways:• Gen Z defines luxury differently — Resale, vintage, and experiences often matter more than traditional status symbols. • Economics shape behavior — The K-shaped economy creates vastly different spending realities among consumers. • The experience is part of the product — Packaging, unboxing, and storytelling influence purchasing decisions as much as the item itself.

Send me a messageWhat if returns are hiding 4–5 points of EBITDA in plain sight?In this episode of the Resilient Supply Chain Podcast, I'm joined by Terry Boyle, CEO of Trove, to explore one of retail and logistics' most neglected pressure points: reverse logistics. Terry's argument is blunt and useful: if brands care about supply chain resilience, sustainability, risk, data, and visibility, they can't keep treating returns as the untidy corner nobody wants to inspect.You'll hear how online returns are reshaping inventory economics, why imperfect product too often gets parked on pallets until value evaporates, and how better returns processing can unlock labour savings, faster return-to-stock, stronger resale pricing, and fraud reduction. Not glamorous. Very profitable.We also break down why customer-reported returns data is often unreliable, how item-level visibility can feed back into design, sizing, packaging, supplier decisions, and quality control, and why sustainability may scale faster when it is sold as better inventory economics rather than moral virtue alone.Interestingly Terry also shares the very real problem of “boxes of rocks” showing up in returns, because apparently even fraud has a logistics department now.

Trying to decide between a new construction home and a resale property? This episode breaks down the real pros, cons, hidden costs, and negotiation strategies that can help first-time buyers make the right decision.Many first-time homebuyers assume there is a clear winner between new construction and resale homes, but the right choice depends on personal goals, budget, lifestyle, and market conditions. This episode explores the advantages of new builds, including lower maintenance, energy efficiency, and builder incentives, while exposing common traps like upgrade costs, builder lender pressure, and misleading pricing. It also examines the benefits of resale homes, such as established neighborhoods, larger lots, and stronger location options, along with the risks of repairs and maintenance. Most importantly, buyers learn how to compare homes based on total value, not just price, so they can build a strategy that supports both their short-term needs and long-term financial goals. “Strategy beats emotion every single time.” — David Sidoni, First Time Homebuyer Coach HighlightsThinking about a brand-new home? What are the real advantages and hidden drawbacks?Lower maintenance costs and fewer repair surprisesBetter energy efficiency and modern floor plansBuilder incentives that may not be as valuable as they appearUpgrade costs that can significantly increase the final purchase priceCheck out our updated 2026 First Time Homebuyer's Episode Guide - Over 100 of our BEST Episodes of Detailed Homebuying Knowledge, Interviews, and MORE!

TICE Group Turns Returns, Trade-Ins and Resale Into Recovered Value, ASCDI Podcast. TICE Group designs and operates recovery systems for brands and retailers running trade-in, returns, and resale programs at scale. “Any extra dollar I can bring them back is a dollar that goes to profitability — not actually profit, viability,” says Guennael “G” Delorme of TICE Group. “Those returns do have a cost, and we all pay those costs.” In this ASCDI podcast, Doug Green speaks with Guennael of TICE Group about the hidden economics of retail returns, trade-ins, and resale programs. The conversation explores how returns can damage already-thin merchant margins, how those costs ultimately flow back to consumers, and why recovery systems can make a material difference for retailers, brands, and the broader circular economy. Delorme argues that the issue is not simply what happens after a product comes back. It is how much value can be recovered, how efficiently the process can be managed, and whether returns become a margin drain or a strategic recovery opportunity. The discussion also marks TICE Group's growing involvement with ASCDI, as the association continues to expand its coverage beyond traditional ITAD into adjacent areas of recovery, reuse, resale and lifecycle value. For merchants and brands, the opportunity is clear: better recovery can protect value, support profitability and help build more sustainable business models. Learn more at https://tice-group.com.
