I made £550 in 48 hours reselling clothes but NOT on Vinted – I found a platform where sellers get the full asking price
VINTED is arguably the most popular platform for reselling. But one side hustle pro has insisted it's "completely died off" for her, and said there's a new platform she's using instead. 4 4 4 And that's Tilt. Liv explained in a video on her TikTok page that she made £550 in 48 hours through reselling - £509 of which was on Tilt. According to the app itself, Tilt is somewhere you can "discover emerging fashion, unlock rare collectibles, and shop through videos and live streams with friends". And Liv said that it's one of the only platforms where buyers get an epic bargain, and sellers still get their full asking price. She used her Gymshark bits as an example, as she said she was doing the brand new items for £10 each, or in bundles of four for £40. And thanks to a discount voucher Tilt users were able to get on bigger orders, they ended up getting the bundles for £32 rather than £40 - while Liv got the full amount her end. In the end, she sold six £40 bundles of the Gymshark bits, as well as a hoodie from the same brand for £20. On Tilt, she also sold seven Blakely hoodies and sweatshirts, as she further explained: "With the 20% off it meant that I was getting the full £35 but the person buying it was getting it for only £28 because Tilt was covering the 20%." She also sold 20 Mountain t-shirts on Tilt, meaning she made £509 across three streams in 48 hours on the app. Elsewhere, she sold a pair of Wrangler jeans she'd bought for £1.50 for an impressive £18 on eBay, and an £8 Carhartt hoodie on Depop for £24. I turned £10 into £10k after easy Facebook Marketplace side hustle blew up... now I'm rubbing shoulders with Premier League stars But she hasn't had much luck on Vinted - even after paying for the wardrobe spotlight feature. "Vinted has completely died off since I paid for Spotlight and I sold a book for £2, so £2 profit," she sighed. "Ridiculous!" "Monday & Tuesdays sales & how much profit I made," Liv captioned the video, calling her success "insane". "The tax man is going to love me," she joked. What is retail arbitrage and how does it work? Retail arbitrage just means reselling a product on for profit. It is completely legal in the UK, as, once you own an item, you have the right to resell it. Using an app called BuyBotGo, resellers scan items they find in the supermarket, and the app tells them how much the products are selling for on Amazon, and how many times they have been sold in the past month. The reseller will make a profit on the items by reselling them using Amazon FBA. Amazon FBA is a service that online sellers can use, where Amazon takes care of the storing, packing and shipping of your products. So all the reseller has to do is send the products off to Amazon and wait for the money to roll in. "What an insane profit!" another added. "Well done! Not bad for 2 days work." "Smashing it, do you list every item on all platforms at the same time?" a third asked. With Liv replying: "Sometimes I cross list and some things I just put onto one platform." 4

John Barker talks ‘Tilt' and putting emerging artists on center stage
At a time when the Irish music industry is flourishing globally, one monthly event is trying to shine a spotlight on the next generation of rising stars. Tilt is a free monthly music showcase event held in The Button Factory, curated by John Barker and produced by Steve Caffrey and The Sound Training College, which aims to highlight the best of the best of the independent Irish scene. caught up with Barker ahead of their April event, to discuss platforming emerging talent and the struggles faced by the music industry in Ireland. View this post on Instagram A post shared by TiLT Dublin (@tiltdublin) Tilt #33 takes place in The Button Factory on Tuesday April 22 and features three rising Irish stars; Tebi Rex, Bobbi Arlo & Joe Butler. The aim of the live events, which were founded in October 2019, is to highlight the best in Irish music talent while also providing exclusive hands-on training for students pursuing a career in the live music industry. Over the years, hundreds of acclaimed artists have graced the Tilt stage since 2019 including Sprints, Gurriers, Curtisy, Tolü Makay, Yankari, Ben Bix, Shiv and Annie-Dog. Tilt #33 takes place in The Button Factory on Tuesday April 22 and features three rising Irish stars; Tebi Rex, Bobbi Arlo & Joe Butler. Chatting ahead of the April event, John discussed how the idea for Tilt originally formed over a cup of coffee. 'We discussed the idea of maybe starting a regular full band showcase event, because the three of us were quite surprised when we realized that there was none in Dublin. 'For such a vibrant music scene and for a city that has so many musicians that create in lots of different genres, we were quite surprised to find out there was no regular full band showcase event in Dublin.' caught up with Barker ahead of their April event, to discuss platforming emerging talent and the struggles faced by the music industry in Ireland. 'There was none that provided a big venue, full setup in terms of gear and lighting and production. So we decided to give it a go.' Tilt #1 was a daunting prospect for the founders, but thankfully, music lovers showed up in their droves for what would soon be known as an integral event in the Irish music calendar. 'We were kind of up and running from then. It's taken a lot of hard work, because obviously, something new like this has to take time in terms of word of mouth – that's kind of how we've built up our reputation.' View this post on Instagram A post shared by TiLT Dublin (@tiltdublin) 'The thing I really love about it is, I've been asked previously to do similar types of showcase events, but it would have been like, one or two people involved. 'What I like about Tilt is that from the very start, there's always been a large crew involved. It's not just myself and Steve Caffrey, there's a large number of students from sound training college that work at each particular live Tilt event. So they're getting hands-on experience at every event in terms of how production works, how lighting and sound work.' John's aim has always been to champion the artist, with the founder recognising the challenges facing emerging acts within the Irish music industry. 'It's tough just living in Dublin in terms of paying rent and cost of living, but it's even harder then if you're a musician,' he began. 'You've got to think about equipment, and think about how much it costs to rent space and to rehearse and numerous kinds of costs of being in the band, and then you try to make money from it. It's really tough and only a handful of them are able to survive and make a living out of it.' Tilt #33 is presented with thanks to funding from IMRO in The Button Factory on Tuesday April 22. Admission is free. Doors are at 7.30pm. Entry is over 18s.

Lithuania deploys dogs in search for final missing US soldier after vehicle sank in swamp
Police working dogs are now involved in the search for the fourth and final missing U.S. soldier whose armored vehicle sank in a swamp in Lithuania last week. Three American soldiers were declared deceased Monday after crews retrieved the M88 Hercules armored recovery vehicle from a peat bog near Pabradė, Lithuania. The vehicle disappeared on March 25 "while conducting a mission to repair and tow an immobilized tactical vehicle," according to U.S. Army Europe and Africa. "Police working dogs from the Lithuanian Armed Forces began work yesterday afternoon and NATO ally Estonia joined the recovery efforts early this morning," U.S. Army Europe and Africa said in a statement Tuesday. "Two Estonian recovery dogs, Tilt and Maik, and their handlers flew from Tallinn, Estonia. They arrived on scene at 2:00 a.m. and began searching at 7:00 a.m. this morning. Handlers have positioned the dogs in a U.S. Navy Rigid Inflatable Boat to locate any trace scents below the surface," it added. U.S. Army Europe and Africa also said "more capabilities continue to flow to the recovery site, including... two specialized drone systems – including one equipped with ground-penetrating radar – are being used to assist in the search." "The names of the deceased are withheld pending confirmation of next of kin," it continued. "An investigation into the circumstances around this incident is ongoing." Secretary of the Army Daniel Driscoll wrote on X Monday that "We will not rest until the fourth and final Soldier is found and brought home. "No words can truly capture the pain of this loss, but my deepest condolences go out to the families, friends, and fellow soldiers mourning their heroes," he said. U.S. Army Europe and Africa announced Monday that the armored vehicle was removed from the swamp "after a six-day-long effort that required tremendous resources from Lithuania, our steadfast ally, and hundreds of service members from the U.S. Army, U.S. Navy, Lithuanian Armed Forces and the Polish Armed Forces – along with other elements from the Lithuanian government and civilian agencies – to solve the engineering challenge of recovering the 63-ton-vehicle from an area surrounded by unstable ground conditions."
