The Elite Feature Drop. Fifteen upgrades, one membership.
The biggest update Elite has had. Wholesale and discount monitoring that does the margin maths before you buy, private supplier access, proper ACO tooling, real mentorship and an AI that builds your buying plan. Every one of them included at no extra cost.
Wholesale is normally a guess.
You see 50 units for £200 and you do the sums in your head, off a phone, usually while someone else is buying it. What do they actually sell for? How many do you need to shift before you are square? Is the lane already flooded? Most people find out after the box arrives.
The three headline upgrades in this drop exist to kill that guess. Everything else builds on top.
Every bundle costed, comped and graded.
Every major UK and EU wholesaler, watched around the clock for price rises, restocks and new releases. Nothing posts as a bare link: each alert arrives with the maths already done against live eBay sold prices and current asks.
10 x BRANDED VINTAGE DENIM JACKET, GRADE A
RALPH LAUREN POLO BOX, 20 PIECES (PRE-ORDER)
Two real alerts, two days apart, same room. The Ralph Lauren box still shows a profit on paper, and it is the better-known brand of the two, which is exactly why it is the dangerous one: you have to sell 17 of the 20 to get your money back, £39 of delivery is buried in the per-piece price, and half a bundle puts you £155 down. That is the number nobody works out in a car park.
What every alert tells you
The same maths, on a bundle we actually bought
25x WRANGLER JEANSCosted live on the Elite call in September, in this order. It is the same chain the monitor runs for you, written out, so you can see what the grade on an alert is actually built from.
Sticker plus delivery, always. The per-piece price on the listing is not what you pay.
Whatever you pay per piece, it has to sell for at least 150% of that to be worth the handling.
Men's Wrangler, newest first. Listings at £12 to £18 posted in the last two hours, five or more favourites each, from ordinary sellers rather than resellers.
Grade A goes straight on. Grade B loses about a quarter. This lot was 75% A and 25% B with a 10% misgrade allowance.
Fifty plus live listings checked. “Very good” clears at £12 to £15, “good” at £8 to £10, so even the B grade sells.
Jeans move slower than jumpers and fleeces. Roughly 50 to 65% sells inside two weeks.
And the part most sourcing pitches leave out: you cannot control what turns up. The same bundle can come back at 1.2x or 2.5x depending on the box. The analysis gets you a good expected return. The box decides the actual one, which is why people who do this seriously buy volume and let the luck average out.
Then members post what was actually in the box
There is a review channel where anyone who buys a bundle scores the supplier out of ten and says what turned up. The bad ones stay up, which is the only reason the good ones are worth reading.
“Incredible overall quality, probably about 4 grade B. Three pairs were still new with the tags on them. Sold 4 for £30 so far, all but maybe 5 pairs should go for the same.”
“All decent sizing with great designs, a mix of great brands with unknown brands that sold fast if you know how to list correctly. Arrived in under 24 hours and I used a discount code.”
“About 15 pairs are unsellable. They stated 5 to 10% would have stains or holes, it was more like 50 to 60%. Sold most of the top quality ones for £20 to £25. Overall I have made a profit on them, so not too bad.”
“Number of pairs with holes in, bad stains that I do not think will wash. I probably have five Grade A pairs at best. Luck of the draw with wholesale, and lady luck definitely not on my side this time.”
Updated three days later: they arranged a return and a full refund, so the customer service was great.
Four bundles, four different outcomes, all from August. The 6/10 is the one worth reading twice: the supplier said 5 to 10% would be damaged and it came back nearer 50%, and the member still made a profit because the per-piece price was low enough to absorb it. That is what the break-even number on the alert is protecting you from.
Every price drop comped before it reaches you.
The hub watches about fifty retailers for price changes. Everything it finds lands in the band channels, sorted by how deep the markdown is, and those channels are meant to be noisy. What matters is what happens next: the system comps each find against real eBay sold prices, posts the survivors into the deal rooms, and only the strongest earn a role ping. You are not supposed to read the bands, because the scoring already did.
A day, across the eleven band channels
Comped against real sold prices, then posted to the UK deal rooms
What the scoring rates worth interrupting you for
Kappa · Bronte Men Trainers
A price and a percentage. Three thousand of these a day. Whether it resells is still an open question.
Vans · Old Skool 36 OTW, Soft Sage
A real ping from the UK shoe room on 3 September. Same pipeline, but this one cleared the comp, so the only open question left is whether you are quick.
Shoe deals
Shoes are the room you get better at. The same models come round again, so you build a feel for which silhouettes hold their price and which ones are being discounted because nobody wants them. Every row below earned a role ping in the last month.

Misc deals
Misc is the wilder room, and the one people underrate. Phones, 3D printers, power tools, scooters, cameras. It rewards a different instinct to shoes, because you will not have a feel for most of what turns up, which is exactly why the comp attached to the card matters more here.

And a person reads the room over the top of it
The scoring is good, and it is still a bot. Two things that happened in the misc room in the last month, both of which are the reason the rooms work better than the software alone would.
Apple iPad Pro 2024, 256GB refurbished
Biggest spread the misc room produced all month, and the room threw it out. Four minutes after it posted, Louie replied with one word.
Six sales is not a market, it is an anecdote, and a median built on it is a guess. This is the card the reading order exists for.
HiKOKI combi drill and impact driver, 18V twin pack
Pinged this morning. The bot’s median was fair but conservative, so Louie went and checked the exact model, then posted the receipts into the room: a sale at £135.94 on 18 August, another at £109.90 on the 20th flagged as an outlier because a best offer was accepted.
The monitor finds it in seconds. The hand check is what turns a £29 spread into a £67 to £117 one, and it is why the rooms have people in them rather than just a webhook.
What to read on a card, in the order that matters
Every card carries the same numbers, and the biggest one on it is the least trustworthy. The order below is deliberately the opposite of the order most people read in, and it is the difference between the drill and the iPad above.
- Sells
Can you actually get rid of it? This decides whether your money comes back this week or at Christmas, which is why it is first rather than last.
- Confidence
How much real market sat behind that eBay median. Two hundred sales is a market. Six is an anecdote, and the median off it is a guess dressed as a number.
- Spread
What you make, read last. A spread you cannot realise is not money, and it is the number most likely to look enormous on a card you should walk past.
The eleven channels that feed it
Tracked around the clock across House of Fraser, Sports Direct, Amazon, JD Sports, Argos, B&Q and more. Deal Verdict is the odd one out: instead of a raw price drop it posts a written verdict on whether a deal is worth buying.
The feeds split in September into UK shoe deals, UK misc deals, and the same pair for the EU. The EU rooms are new and quieter than the UK ones, which is worth knowing before you join for them.
The scoring is not finished. Every card carries a guide-only warning, because a median from recent sales is not a guarantee. The 40 to 50% band was retired after a month because nothing worth pinging ever landed in it.
If you took every profitable ping in the two UK rooms, my rough estimate is £500 to £1,000 profit a month. That is an estimate from watching the rooms, not a promise, but it is why the extra £30 a month for Elite pays for itself in this channel alone.

Wholesale trackers (UK and EU), Fleek trackers, all eleven discount channels, discount code generation, ACO support areas, the ACO marketplace, the mentorship channel, 1-on-1 booking, channel picker and the AI plan builder.
The private supplier desk, sourcing and ACO guides, course modules and the first coaching call, all have their channels live in Elite and fill in over the coming weeks.
The secondhand market is the biggest we have measured going into a Q4.
We track secondhand demand using Google Trends and public consumer spending data. Setting last year’s Q4 peak at 100, the second half of August this year came in at 82, the highest August reading since we started tracking. More buyers, but also more people listing, so the instruction that follows from it is to hold your prices rather than race to the bottom.
Index, last year’s Q4 peak set to 100. Our own tracking of Google Trends and public consumer spending data, as presented on the Elite call of 6 September 2026.
November is the month it lands: coats, shoes, quarter zips and everything people would otherwise buy new at Christmas. Which means the useful time to have sourcing tools pointed at the market is now, while you are building the stock, not in November when you are trying to sell it.
