From Bidding to Reselling: How Simon Charles Can Help You Make a Profit

Reselling has become a popular way to earn extra income, and for many, it’s grown into a full-time business. The key to successful reselling is simple: buying the right stock at the right price - and that’s where Simon Charles comes in. Our online auction site makes it easy to source a wide range of products at auction prices, giving you the chance to turn great-value finds into profit on platforms like eBay, Vinted and Facebook Marketplace, whether you’re starting small or already reselling regularly.

Find Stock at the Right Price: At Simon Charles, we run multiple daily auctions featuring everything from designer clothing and accessories to electronics, homeware, toys and furniture. Because items are sold at auction, you’re often able to secure stock for far less than retail, creating strong margins for resellers.

Resell What Suits You: One of the biggest benefits of reselling through Simon Charles is the variety. You can focus on what you know and what sells best for you, whether that’s:

Fashion and accessories Electronics and gadgets Homeware Toys and Collectables Furniture Whitegoods Jewellery Perfumes and Cosmetics There’s no one-size-fits-all approach, you choose the auctions and lots that match your budget, space and goals.

Turn Auction Wins Into Income: Once you’ve won your items, it’s simply a case of photographing them well, writing a clear listing and getting them online. Many of our buyers regularly turn their auction wins into profitable resales, learning over time what prices work and which items sell quickest. Some start off selling casually in their spare time, while others build it up into something much bigger, with a number of resellers even going on to make a full-time living from reselling. It’s flexible, it grows with you, and you can take it at whatever pace suits your lifestyle.

Start Small and Grow: You don’t need to jump in all at once. Many resellers begin with just a few items, gradually building confidence as they learn what sells well and which products attract repeat buyers. Over time, this helps them refine their niche, understand pricing, and improve their listings. With frequent auctions and a constantly changing range of stock, Simon Charles gives you plenty of opportunities to grow and scale up when you’re ready, whether that means increasing the number of items you list, expanding into new categories, or turning a side hustle into something more consistent.
