Macy’s lots are name-brand apparel, accessories, and beauty at department-store quality — the best margins hide in accessories (handbags, jewelry) and beauty, both of which move well on Poshmark, Mercari, and eBay. The work is real: apparel demands sizing knowledge, careful photography, and patience, and fashion is trend- and season-dependent, so this is not a set-and-forget category. Some lots ship unmanifested, which raises the risk on a first purchase. Watch brand-restriction rules — certain labels cannot be resold on some marketplaces — and avoid deeply seasonal fashion unless you can time the resale window. Beauty is the reliable workhorse here; branded accessories are the upside.
