A small e-commerce started when I initially moved back from NYC. The business keeps me very busy when focused on it as my primary income and has been put on the back-burner when forking full-time elsewhere. The business built on aesthetic recognition and the sourcing underpriced items of value, particularly Dead Stock Sneakers, but also vintage clothing, etc. Items are sold online for profit by cross-listing items, utilizing up to eight various digital marketplaces.
