Circular Economy & ReCommerce is printing money faster than DeFi. I made $7k in 3 days last week. Guys, copy it and start copying!

Man, last week I saw a post on IndieHackers about how you can directly earn 100,000 dollars a month through Circular Economy & ReCommerce’s cross-border store. My eyes went straight. Without saying a word, I immediately pulled data from Google Trends and selected 3 products to test. As a result, my Shopify store generated sales of 7k dollars in 3 days, with a profit margin of 45%! This is not bragging, I have a screenshot of the background here - purely second-hand refurbished fashion brand bags, European station printer mode. Are you still selling new products and being crushed by big manufacturers? Wake up, Circular Economy & ReCommerce is the golden hen of 2025.

I have been working in ecom for 8 years. From dropshipping to self-branding, I have learned through all the pits. I won’t hide my secrets today, I will show you how to take off from scratch. Don’t follow Tik Tok to learn rubbish tutorials, just follow me. Last week, a lot of people in the Reddit r/ecommerce group asked me about the secrets, and I said wait until I post.

Why Circular Economy & ReCommerce is the 2025 ecom nuclear bomb? Brother, my data speaks for itself.

Bro, don’t rush to copy it, first understand why this thing is crazy now. Today, November 28, the search volume for “Circular Economy” on Google Trends exploded by +250% month-on-month, and ReCommerce-related terms such as “second-hand luxury goods” and “sustainable resale” took off across the board. New EU regulations force brands to promote a circular economy. Generation Z no longer buys new products, and they go straight to platforms such as Vinted and Depop to dig for second-hand treasures.

Last week @ReCommerceInsider, whom I followed on Twitter/X, posted a post saying that the global ReCommerce market is expected to exceed $2 trillion in 2025! What about cross-border ecom players? The monthly sales of second-hand electronic products on Shopee and Lazada Southeast Asia exceed one million pieces. Think about it, if you sell a new iPhone and get stuck by Apple, what about selling a refurbished iPhone? If you control your own supply chain, your gross profit will be doubled.

The first time I came into contact with Circular Economy was in 2023. I lost $2k and didn’t understand the supply chain at that time. Today is different. Big bosses in the private Telegram group share the refurbished supply of Alibaba International Station. The cost is so low that you will doubt your life. Dude, this is not a trend, this is the money printing press coming online.

• Market demand: Generation Z 80% prioritizes Circular Economy products (Statista data, I just checked)
• Competition is low: big manufacturers still sell new products, but they are too lazy to touch second-hand niches.
• Profit maniac: The original price of refurbishment is 30%, the original price of selling 60%, the net profit starts from 30%
• Policy bonus: EU’s new carbon tax policy, ReCommerce store SEO goes straight to the homepage

In the European station I tested last week, the FB advertising CAC was only $8 and ROAS 4.2x. Insane!

I personally tested 3 popular ReCommerce products last week, which one is the most powerful? Experience with data + screenshots

Just talking and not practicing the tricks, I will go straight to the practical stuff. Last Monday I searched for goods from Reddit r/ecommerce, built a store on Tuesday and launched new ads on Wednesday. The product selection is all pulled from Google Trends+Helium10 data, and the core of Circular Economy: sustainable, reusable, and high repurchase.

Hot item 1: Refurbished AirPods Pro (the most stable printer)
Source of supply: Shenzhen Huaqiangbei Refurbishment Factory, directly purchasing $45/piece, selling $89. The European station sells 180 pieces a week, with a profit of $8000+. Why fierce? Apple is limited in quantity and second-hand supply exceeds demand. My store rated it 5 stars, and customers said, “It's like new, and Circular Economy smells really good.” Pitfalls: Don’t buy fakes, choose ones with a warranty.

Hot item 2: Second-hand luxury bags (high customer orders, ROAS king)
Chanel, LV refurbished bags, sourced from French Vinted supplier, cost $200, sold $450. Sold 25 pieces in 3 days, net profit $6k. Last week @IndieEcomGuy shared something similar on Twitter, and the comment section exploded. Visual marketing is awesome, IG Reels invested 100 dollars and got 10 orders. The Circular Economy label directly attracts environmentally friendly fans.

Hot item 3: Sustainable home furnishing (repurchase artifact)
Refurbished IKEA furniture pieces, wooden tables and chairs, cost $50, sold for $120. Tested on Lazada in Southeast Asia, the repurchase rate was 28%. Why? My friend, buying second-hand is also environmentally friendly. “ReCommerce furniture” is a hot search on Trends.

• Product selection checklist: Trends index>50, competitive ASIN40%
• Don’t touch: Clothing is too seasonal, electronics have no warranty, luxury has no certification

My store backend: total sales 7k, return rate 3%. Before copying, please verify the source of the goods - there is a link in my Telegram group, please send me a private message.

Google Trends+ private group data: Circular Economy & ReCommerce is so hot, avoid these pitfalls

Today, November 28, I posted a screenshot of Trends in the group: “thrifting” peaked in the United States, and “ReCommerce” broke records in Germany. IndieHackers posted it last week and got 500+ likes, all of which were from friends asking about the source of goods. I go to r/ecommerce every day, and yesterday I saw a guy who went from 0 to 10,000 yuan solely on second-hand electronics.

But there are as many pitfalls as dogs! The first time I suffered a huge loss: the goods were fake and the advertising was burned out. Pitfall avoidance guide:

• Don’t mess around with supplies: To avoid Taobao fakes, go to Alibaba International or Indian ReCommerce factory. Test samples first 3 pieces.
• Store settings: Shopify uses the Circular Economy theme and DSers takes orders. SEO title plug “sustainable ReCommerce”.
• Don’t rush into advertising: First CB test $50/day, TO>2x and then Scale. Last week I did FB Advantage+ Shopping, and my CAC dropped by 30%.
• Logistics artifact: Use CJdropship to renovate the warehouse, and get it delivered within 2 days in the US area. return the goods? Add the “Circular Economy Guarantee” label and your trust will be overwhelming.
• Legal pitfalls: EU REACH certification is required, and ReCommerce stores should not sell unlabeled products.

I shared the Trends picture in the group last week, and 20 people copied it, and 3 people reported that it was profitable on the first day. The numbers don’t lie, man.

The whole process from 0 to printing money: I will teach you step by step how to build a Circular Economy & ReCommerce store
