A vintage clothing seller struggles with inconsistent sourcing from local suppliers and thrift runs, making expansion to retail space or online platforms risky due to unreliable inventory flow.
Existing online platforms like Vinted, Depop, and eBay don't provide reliable, vetted wholesale suppliers for vintage clothing, leading to risk of scams or poor quality bulk purchases.
