After a busy month full of weird and highly competitive flips, it’s nice to talk about something lowkey. Popstar Tate McRae recently hawked signed versions of her album “So Close to What” online, and her fans were quick to jump on the available stock. As you might guess, these sold out fast, and resellers have been all over the opportunity. It didn’t take long until we saw them reselling for a profit, and the money is still rolling in.

Tate McRae So Close to What Signed CD

You’re familiar with Tate McRae, right? We know, we know; there’s a million new popstars churned out every minute, how can anyone other than a teenage girl keep up?

She first gained attention in 2016 as the first Canadian finalist on the show So You Think You Can Dance, and quickly parleyed that attention into a major music career. Her debut album released in 2022, and followed it up with two more major hits.

“So Close to What” dropped yesterday, and it’s already on its way to the top of the charts. To capitalize on the launch, McRae listed a ton of signed merchandise for sale on her webstore. One listing in particular caught the eyes of resellers: signed “So Close to What” CDs.

Traditionally, signed vinyl has been the preference among fans and resellers for collectable music, but we’ve seen a number of signed CD releases catch just as much hype. Taylor Swift is the biggest name that we’ve covered, but other popstars like Olivia Rodrigo and Charli XCX have also peddled them.

The advantage of a CD over vinyl is mainly the price. Even with her signature, signed Tate McRae “So Close to What” CDs retailed for just $13, and customers were able to buy up to four at a time. This makes them a low risk, moderate profit option for resellers.

But don’t let the words “moderate profits” throw you. Sure, it’s always fun to score a few hundred dollars off a single listing, but experienced resellers know that day-in day-out regular flips are the best way to make a living by reselling.

Right now, Tate McRae signed “So Close to What” CDs are reselling for $20 to $40. Most sales are settling in close to the $30 mark with very healthy volume.

Considering they retailed at $13 and customers were limited to four, a reseller that got in on this opportunity and flipped their CDs for optimal profit could make $70 to $100 from this drop. It might not be anything mindblowing, but it’s good money for minimal effort.
