Hey, it's Cindy! Welcome back to Moms & Crumbs, where I teach you how to build real income from home and learn how to resell on Whatnot.

In this episode, I'm taking you behind the scenes of one of the craziest—and most important—moments in my reselling journey: buying my first pallet. From hustling thrift stores with my kids to driving 12 hours to Utah in a cargo van, this episode is full of lessons, laughter, and a few "what was I thinking?!" moments.

When my Whatnot shows started growing, I realized I needed more inventory than weekend yard sales could provide. That's when I discovered reseller boxes—and eventually took the leap into buying pallets. But getting there wasn't easy. Between scammers, diaper-filled pallets (yes, really), and learning who to trust, I had to make every mistake possible before I figured out how to source like a pro.

If you're thinking about scaling your reselling business—or you're afraid to take that next big step—this episode is for you. I'll share what to look for before buying a pallet, how to avoid getting scammed, and when you're actually ready to make that kind of investment.

🎧 Hit play on this episode to hear the full story, laugh at our Utah adventure, and learn how to take your own next step in reselling—without losing money (or your sanity!).
