👉🏼Listing Magic: How AI Will Save You Hours This Month and Boost Your Reselling Sales
One of the biggest questions I get from resellers is: “How do I know what’s going to sell?”
And the honest answer is — you don’t. Not 100%. Not ever.
But you can dramatically increase your chances when you back your instincts with trend data. The more informed your sourcing decisions are, the higher your odds of making profitable sales. That’s where trend tracking comes in — not as a guarantee, but as your unfair advantage.
But here’s the problem: trends move fast. What’s viral this week could be over by next month. Celebrity influence comes in waves. Buyer behavior shifts with the season, the algorithm, the aesthetic. And unless you want to spend hours a day scrolling TikTok or stalking influencer posts... you need a faster, smarter way to keep up.
That’s where AI comes in.
AI = Your Personal Trend Scout (That Works in Seconds)
Artificial Intelligence isn’t just for tech bros or Silicon Valley startups. Resellers are using tools like ChatGPT and Gemini (formerly Google Bard) to:
Find trending fashion styles before they saturate resale platforms
Track what celebrities and influencers are wearing
Analyze Google search volume to predict what’s about to pop
Review their own sales data to double down on what works
And yes — this works even if you’re new. No spreadsheets. No fashion degree. Just smart prompts and free tools.
My $855 Flip: How I Spotted a Dior Trend with AI-Level Speed
Let me give you a real example of how "the right style, the right celeb at the right time" can make you big money. A while ago, I found a deal online and scooped up a pair of $200 Dior boots. At first, it felt like a risk. But I had a hunch — and AI helped back it up.
I’d seen search spikes for Y2K fashion. I’d noticed a wave of TikToks mentioning John Galliano’s era at Dior. I did a quick Google Lens search — a tool powered by AI — and who popped up? Bella Hadid. Wearing vintage Dior boots I had just sourced.
I listed them — and within a few weeks, one sold for $855.
That’s the power of knowing what’s trending before everyone else on the resale world catches on.
Now, full disclosure: at that point I wasn’t nearly as deep into AI as I am today. I was dipping my toes—using it for listings, running basic data analysis—but I hadn’t yet set up Google Alerts or built AI-powered trend trackers. Looking back, I realize I could’ve spotted that Bella shot first, hunted down every pair of those boots online, and multiplied that sale by ten.
But hey—you live, you learn. And that’s exactly why I’m sharing these tools and tactics with you now.
Another Win: Chanel Pumps & Celebrity Influence
I once bought a pair of classic black Chanel pumps for $200. They were clean, timeless — and totally undervalued. Near-new condition, great brand, but they didn’t scream viral moment… yet.
Then I did a quick Google Lens search. And there they were — worn by a high-profile celeb at a couture show. The exact same pair.
Those plain pumps went from forgotten inventory to a $750 celebrity moment outfit. All because I knew where to look.
Trends don’t just live on runways anymore. They live in searches, scrolls, saves, and style recaps. If you can track them? You can profit from them.
How to Start Using AI for Reselling — Even as a Beginner
Here’s a taste of what you can do right now:
Search “Fall 2025 fashion trends” using Gemini (it browses live info)
Ask ChatGPT: “What are the most searched shoe styles right now?”
Compare Google Trends for “ballet flats” vs. “platform sneakers”
Use Google Lens on your current inventory to find celeb or trend references or, find celebrities at a recent event and Google search their outfits to see what brands they are wearing.
And here’s your homework:
Run a Google Bard search: “What fashion items are trending on TikTok and Instagram this month?”
Check your top-selling brands from the past 60 days. Then search them on Google Trends to see if their popularity is rising.
Another great example: Look up Coach vintage bags — especially the silhouettes from the 90s. A few years ago, you could buy them for almost nothing. But as collectors started spotlighting them, their resale value rose. Now? A vintage Coach bag is set to appear in the new Devil Wears Prada sequel — and they’re about to have a major cultural comeback.
