But I digress… I hosted my first Posh Show on Friday, October 14. I operated much like I did on whatnot… chaotic but high energy - offering mystery boxes and high-end pieces in bulk. I was thrilled if someone bid on every item… items were rarely if ever, bid on by multiple people. Unlike Whatnot, where I was up against dozens of other auction shows more established than me, on Poshmark, my 300K followers were alerted, and my show sat close to alone at the top of the Posh Shows feed. There were not 10 people bidding or even 30… there were over 100 to 150 people at any given time. The auctions were zipping up quickly from the starting bid to $40 $60 … a few auctions went up to $175, $212… I was in shock. When we closed our show an hour and a half later, we were sold out of products. The rack behind me was empty. I was sweating but I was also smiling. Beaming from ear to ear, in fact. Almost 900.00 in sales in less than two hours? Was this real? Yes. Yes, it was. Over the next week, the sales fluctuated between 800 and 1500 per show. Hundreds of orders caused a glut of work for me and my partner in between shows as well. We ran out of tape, marketing materials, and boxes. The frenzied pace of shipping and selling my established inventory gave way to an inventory deficit very quickly. Now I am having to squeeze sourcing trips to the bins into my work week. Oh yes, I also have a full-time job.
