RSco Update: Answering Your Questions and Feedback!
Share
Hey everyone! First, let me start with a huge thank you to Becky Park for her incredible videos featuring RSco! Becky has not only brought awareness but has also sparked great conversations in the reselling community. Thank you for trusting us enough to share RSco with your audience. 🙏
Now, onto the updates! Becky’s videos generated excitement—and naturally, some questions and concerns. Here’s a quick recap addressing some of the most common topics.
RSco Business Model Questions/Concerns
"Meh" / "Not impressed" / "You should stick to hunting."
We totally get it—our model isn’t for everyone! If you love the hunt, keep at it. We’re not here to tell anyone to stop doing what they love.
But we also know there are thousands of people who want to try reselling—especially as a side hustle—but don’t have the time or interest to spend 3-4 days a week hunting thrift shops and garage sales. For those folks, we’re a lifesaver. We've talked to dozens of people locally who want to start reselling but said, “Only if I don’t have to hunt!” For them, we’re a solution.
So if you love hunting, that’s awesome—keep doing your thing. But if you don’t have the time or the passion for it, RSco might be the right fit for you.
"Why don’t they just sell everything themselves? They’re picking out the good stuff and dumping the rest."
This is a great question! The reality is, if you want the best cost per item, you need to buy in huge bulk—like semi-load huge (that’s 48 pallets). To list all that inventory ourselves, we’d have to 3-10x our workforce and warehouse space, which we’re just not ready to do.
So here’s our current model:
- We buy in bulk (pallets and semi-loads).
- We list only the items we can sell within 6 months. Yes, we prioritize efficiency (margin and especially restocking items we've already listed).
- We pass the rest along to resellers. There's always a surplus from point #2 above. There's always more to buy.
This only works if the resellers can make money on our bundles, and that’s what we’re aiming for. We’re also passionate about helping other resellers succeed. One of our customers is using their profits to build a flower farm where their adopted daughter with Down syndrome can work someday. Stories like that are what get us fired up!
Membership Questions/Concerns
"The membership is way too expensive!"
For some, we get that it might seem like a lot. But for others, it’s money well spent.
The main value of membership is first dibs on bundles. Members get 1-2 weeks to purchase bundles before they hit the public site. That exclusivity helps us keep inventory moving, forecast staffing needs, and make smarter purchase decisions.
We didn’t price membership to attract 1,000 people; we’re aiming for 30-50 members who see the value and align with what we’re offering. That said, we’re listening and are open to tweaking things as we grow.
Bundle Quality Questions/Concerns
"The J.Crew returns have too many damaged pieces."
Totally fair feedback! To make it right, we’re extending our members-only replacement/credit feature to everyone who buys these bundles. If you find items too damaged to fix or resell, just send us simple photos, and we’ll issue replacements. If we don't have replacements, we'll issue a prorated store credit. We want this process to be as easy and pain-free as possible, so just reach out to us.
"The custom bundle for Becky was hand-picked and not representative."
Actually, that bundle was intentionally created to reflect the kind of inventory we have in abundance and can source more of! I even told Becky, “These brands might not be super exciting to you, but this is what we have—and can get more of.” That’s great news for everyone because it means what you saw in her bundle is truly what we’re offering.
Bottom Line
This is still new. We’re learning as we go, and we’re committed to making this work. We’ll swing and miss sometimes, but we’ll keep swinging and making adjustments along the way.
If we can make this work for resellers, it works. If not, it doesn’t. Very simple.
Finally, if you order from us and aren’t happy, please don’t hesitate to reach out. We’ll do everything we can to make it right—and we’ll learn from the feedback to keep improving.
Thanks for being part of our journey!
