Las Vegas Teen Makes Clothing Resale His Side Hustle

Las Vegas resident Reanu Elises, 18, started buying and selling streetwear online when he was a high school junior. Like many other young adults, the world of online resale applications like Depop and Mercari have made selling clothing online for a profit easy. Now, Elises spends his free time at thrift shops looking for rare and vintage clothing he can list on his on his shop. Now in his freshman year at UNLV as a business marketing major, Elises hopes to open a shop of his own one day and start his own clothing brand. He estimates that he’s made about $1000 from just thrifted finds in the past year, which he’ll use to buy more thrift clothing and help pay for expenses in college.
