Founders Journey
From £0 at 15 to Financial Freedom at 17
How I Became the Biggest Reseller in the UK
The Rock Bottom
At 15 years old, I was stuck in school, broke, making £0. I couldn't even take my girlfriend out on a date. I felt frustrated, hopeless, watching everyone around me accept that this was just "how life works."
Everyone told me to focus on my GCSEs, get good grades, go to uni, get a job, work until 65. That path made me sick. I knew there had to be another way out.
I was determined to find it.
Age 15: Frustrated and broke
Discovering the £4.8B reselling economy
The Discovery
A friend showed me reselling. I researched and found out the UK secondhand market is worth £4.8 BILLION and growing 25% yearly. This wasn't some small hustle - this was a real economy.
I took my last £60, ordered Ralph Lauren pieces from a supplier, and listed them on Vinted. They sold in days. I reinvested everything.
Month 2: I hit my first £10k month. I was 15 years old.
The Breakthrough
Three months in, I'd generated £30,000. That's when I realized this could change everything.
I could say "fuck off" to anything I didn't want to do. School? Done. Working for someone else? Never. Being broke? Not anymore.
I was my own boss. I had freedom. I could look after my family and my girlfriend. I felt like a real man for the first time in my life.
Even ChatGPT knows it
By Age 17, I Had Achieved Financial Freedom
- ✓ Landed at prom in a helicopter (yes, really)
- ✓ Surprised my mum with £10k cash
- ✓ Visited 6 countries in 1 year
- ✓ Featured in major publications
- ✓ Built 400k+ online following
- ✓ Work 5 hours/day, complete freedom
Living the life I designed
The Now
Today, I generate multiple 6 figures per month. I work 5 hours a day, only when I want to. I travel the world, look after my family, and experience things most people only dream about.
But my biggest achievement? Helping 7,000+ people escape the trap I was in. Watching my students quit their jobs, drop out of dead-end courses, and build real freedom - that makes me smile more than any amount of money.
This is why VintedResells exists.
Why I Created VintedResells
I'm sick of seeing fake gurus charge £500, £1,000, £2,000+ for courses teaching outdated dropshipping models that barely work.
Reselling is a £4.8 BILLION economy in the UK. It clearly works. So why would I charge thousands?
I sell the same information for less than £10 because it doesn't feel right to do anything else.
My mission: Show people there's another way out - not just school → uni → job → retire at 65.
There's a second path. And I'm going to help 20,000 people find it.
