Hello everyone,Iam @jedum today I want to share with you my experience in selling thrifted shoes in different places in Cebu Philippines, especially in the northern part of Cebu, namely Catmon, Sugod, Tabogon, Borbon, Tabuelan, and Tuburan Cebu, these are the municipalities in the province in Cebu that we always go to during our sales on Mondays, Wednesdays and Saturdays every week we do this

But before I had this livelihood, I tried many different jobs just to support my family, I went from being a single motor driver to being a food delivery rider (foodpanda, Grabfood, Maxim, Lalamove and Angkas) for many years, I worked in rain and heat just to have something to eat every day,especially during the pandemic in order to survive everyday needs, and now selling Thrifted shoes is my source of income.

As a seller of thrifted shoes that does not have its own store, I first have to travel a few kilometers to go to nearby municipalities to sell our shoes, especially today Saturday because it is the day that is used to of our buyers and they are waiting for us to come to the place where we sell, because today is Saturday our schedule is here in Damolog Sugod North Cebu, we are happy because we have many customers are waiting and they immediately choose what they want

Mens Shoes


because on this Saturday they have a lot to choose from, there are for children, there are for teens and adults, our customers are happy because they can buy at a low price and these are branded shoes, even if they are used but It is of good quality and in good condition

During the three years we've been doing this, what I've noticed is that children's shoes are easy to sell, because it's common for parents to have a few children first. in some cases, that's what I observed in my sales, the second is the tens, usually students buy shoes to wear to school and then the other men's shoes, especially the basketball shoes and the running shoes, this is what I have observed in my few years of selling Thrifted shoes everywhere.

As I mentioned at the beginning that I don't have my own shop, so we are just here by the side of the road, fortunately there are many mahogany trees in the area so we are under the trees and we were accompanied by good weather today so we were not delayed our sales, sometimes because the rain caught us in the middle of our sales so there were times when we only had a few sales, however, because I didn't have another job so I just persevered in selling even though the place where we sold was far away and Sometimes bad weather will accompany us, but we have to keep going so that we can bring home food to our dining table

And of course I want to thank the Lord for the good weather today and the strength of our bodies so that we can travel far and be able to sell shoes, and also thank the caretaker/owner of the place we occupied for selling that he allowed us to sell here.

That would be all for today thank you for reading my blog,God bless.
