In this session, we share Brian’s reseller success story, highlighting how he went from full-time IT manager to a fully diversified reseller using tools like List Perfectly to scale across marketplaces—including Walmart—with LP’s spreadsheets that already include images.
How Brian Transitioned From IT to Full-Time Reselling
After 25 years working with hardware, robotics, and IT infrastructure, Brian used a major life shift as the catalyst to finally pursue reselling full-time. His story shows how technical skills, determination, and the right tools can reshape a career.
How He Built a Deeply Diversified Reselling Business
Brian sells pre-loved clothing, media, consignment, dropshipping, print-on-demand, Whatnot marketplace listings, Etsy, Depop, and more.
He also developed long-term sourcing partnerships through ministries and local nonprofits—often receiving entire storage units of free inventory while giving back a percentage.
Why Technology + List Perfectly Power His Workflow
Brian uses:
- List Perfectly AI Lister (Pro Plus Tier 2)
- Custom AI Prompts
- LP Catalog for inventory control
- LP downloadable spreadsheets with images, allowing him to efficiently list on Walmart
- Automated bookkeeping
- ChatGPT to create refined AI prompts
These tools allow him to create 1,000–1,500 listings per month while managing multiple revenue streams.
How Walmart Became 30% of His Business in Months
Even though Walmart isn’t directly integrated with LP yet, List Perfectly’s image-included spreadsheets make it possible to move listings over quickly without rebuilding them. Walmart has become one of his fastest-growing revenue channels.
The Greater Alton Seller Circle: Community Over Competition
Brian founded the Greater Alton Seller Meeting, an official eBay local meetup.
He believes in building community, not competing with it, and encourages every reseller to find or create a local circle.
When to Pivot and When to Double Down
If a marketplace isn’t performing, Brian reallocates his effort toward platforms that are.
If a marketplace is growing—like eBay, Walmart, Poshmark, Etsy, Depop—he doubles down using LP to streamline his workflow.
Marketplace Changes and Brian’s Take
He shares thoughts on eBay’s upcoming promoted listings Halo model and encourages resellers to stay adaptable as platforms evolve.
