Jack Long from Buckinghamshire says he began selling second-hand items at the age of 12.
A young entrepreneur who quit his minimum wage job as a warehouse picker is now making £50,000 a month selling pre-loved trainers.
He started his entrepreneurial journey aged 12, selling family members’ unwanted items on eBay with "the plan" of eventually launching his own business.He added: "I just want the business to keep growing more and want to change the way people shop online. I want to be one of the biggest retailers for pre-loved shoes in the country.
"I was just helping out a family friend, and we saw a pair of trainers and it basically went from there,” Jack added."I think I paid £15 for them and sold them for £30, and then I was like, ‘I can definitely do something with this’."Jack said he wanted to give the shoes "another life" and prevent them going to landfill
Jack claimed he worked 24/7 sourcing, cleaning, and authenticating shoes, while livestreaming himself showing the available trainers in the evenings.
