@@gingeredawn6764 I tried the oven method once and wood casing split. If it's summer where you live, the leaving-them-in-a-hot-car technique might work.
Even good condition, "missing important accessories," without the seller giving more info? No way. They don't even sell the accessories separately half the time
All categories used to be super discounted just a few years ago. Bare minimum seemed like 20% often 40%. Lately they aren't really discounted much at all 🙄.
I heard from someone in the comments who worked for Amazon that they don't decide the discounted price, the seller gets to decide how much of a discount they are willing to give.
Amazon is super weird about sellers selling things. So if the item is possibly opened, they can’t sell it as new even if it was never used. So some of these “like new” items are probably brand new with minor defects in packaging from the third party seller. Like new in package video games, even if the plastic is barely open or ripped on a corner, most sellers sell them as “like new” so they don’t get dinged by the buyers or amazon for saying it was new
Brick and mortar stores can have the same policy. I once got a brand new PS4 controller sold to me at a steep discount from a games store because the packaging was damaged, and that meant they were unable to sell it as new.
I once got a high end Sailor Mercury figure at a big discount from the like new category on Amazon. Turned out it was never opened at all because the og owner returned it due to being anal over a tiny defect on one of the tiaras (it’s one of those figures with the multiple heads/faces) that most won’t notice unless their face is like uncomfortable levels of up close like to Mercury’s face.
It's really strange, I bought a used Kindle on Amazon from a third party. It listed that it was in not great cosmetic condition, and only cost me $30. Took a gamble, got a perfectly working kindle with a few small scuffs up the back case that buffed out. Still works swell 3 years later lol.
I buy from the Amazon warehouse a lot. I found that if you click on the list of all of the sellers you can read a description under each listing of the condition. They will sometimes even tell you what is missing and if there is any damage and where it might be on the item. It definitely helps in deciding if it is worth the risk. I think a lot of the items are not actually used but have some damage to the packaging from shipping and storage at the warehouse.
Yup when buying books sometimes it will say if its a library book unfortunately not all sellers are honest and add in description the issues, they just copy and paste their may have markings stickers blah blah
@nicole_silvers I buy from Amazon Japan all the time. I usually receive my order in about 3 days! Sometimes, it is faster than things I have ordered with prime shipping from the USA.
Thank you for advertising the returned stuff! Most are put off by the idea of “pre owned” so this is good for those who want to reduce reuse and recycle!
I don't mind the idea at all but I've had problem after problem with Amazon stuff being messed up especially refurbished electronics. It's hard for me to trust that it will work or be right when I can't see it first. And I've received visibly used items at full price as well
eBay and Mercari are my go to. Mercari is generally cheaper. Check seller reviews first, make sure you can’t find the same image somewhere else and if it’s got a white background and looks like it was swiped off Amazon, generally don’t buy it.
I ordered a liquitex 48 pack of acrylic paints. Normally it was about 70 but I got it for 51 in “good” condition. I kid you not it was perfect. The slightest knick in the side of the packaging but other than that the plastic wrap was still sealed over it. That’s still my greatest find to this day.
I can tell you, from a used to be Amazon inspector 😂, that it goes by a system that we fill out on a computer and that tells us what category it goes in. Even if we are looking at it and are saying “hey this shouldn’t be resold” sometimes it will tell us that it can.

I order used Amazon products a lot and have had success on almost every item. It's a great way for me, a struggling artist, to pinch pennies. Of course I must tell you my one miss in otherwise great products. To be fair, it was marked as "acceptable ". Let me assure you, it was anything but.

I can laugh about it now, but at the time, it wasn't humorous in the least.🤣🤣
Amazon returns are a hit and miss. I buy it all the time. Make sure you check if it’s cheaper if there is a coupon for a new item. Coupons can’t be used on n used items
@@AfallinAngel it’s the coupons when you look at and item. Where you have to click the check mark to save 20% or $2.00 off. It’s not like looking for codes online.

I’ve purchased several returned Amazon products from the good to like new categories, and I’ve never had an issue. Most of the time it’s just the packaging that’s damaged. I almost always look for used items first, then if there aren’t any, I buy new. I’ve gotten some killer deals.
I wonder if the Amazon returns get marked kinda like how thrift stores do. It depends on who marks it and what that person knows about the item on the discount you're going to get.
I used to work at an Amazon warehouse. They have a computer system that asks them a bunch of questions about the item. It can take them 10-15 minutes to assess each one. And the items that don’t pass are destroyed.
Kind of. To my understanding an Amazon worker will access the returned item and give details about the condition to the seller who sold it before. That seller then decides what to price it as
As an art teacher, we’re always searching for inexpensive supplies. I’m always accepting pre-used materials because it’s STILL workable mediums. Just because the package is open or dirty, don’t mean a thing. I’ve purchase many books and other items in like new or acceptable. I encourage others to do the same unless your are giving g an item as a gift.
I bought a returned 24 pack of Prismacolor Verithins for half off. It had the Second Life sticker on it, but actually wasn't opened down the middle to make it slide and stand open. I think someone opened the edge flap, saw a pencil had a big split splinter in it from the factory and returned it. It was the light peach color and not important for my project so I just crazy glued it back together and you can't tell the 1 pencil was damaged.
When I used to shop for watercolor paint tubes, I always went for the Amazon used stuff. Usually never saw issues but some of those discounts were *chef's kiss*.
As someone who’s worked retail for 10 years, your expectations were skewed. I have retailers damage out merchandise because it looks like it MIGHT have a scratch on it from one angle under light 😂 “totally unsellable”
OH! I have a story about those Stabilo pens! I love them, for one- but I ordered a pack for 13 dollars... and they sent me the WHOLE RETAIL BOX of pens. I gave them to artists in my family, heh.
You and including some other art TH-camrs(drawing wife waffles,Moriah Elizabeth,Temi danso art,Sarah Renae Clark, and a few more) have inspired me to draw with pencils and alcohol based markers. I am enjoying drawing thank you for that.
This was a fun video! I agree; the first category isn't worth it if I can get brand new for a dollar or two more. The last category is gross, lol. The good category is the best.
Can we appreciate that Rae does everything for us. Like she spends thousands of dollars just for us just so we watch her videos😊 Let’s give Rae a round of applause for her video ( BTW LOVE YOUR VIDEOS )
I think the price does not indicate appropriately the degree of damage/usage. Appreciate your review because it helped my decision of whether or not to "take a chance".
I purchased a 12 set of Prismacolor from the good category once and the lid was completely damaged and dented in, but the pencils were in perfect condition. I think it is hit or miss. If you want to take a chance and the discount is reasonable it is definitely worth it. Depending on the item I normally check to see if there are Warehouse deals before purchasing new. Some things I would not consider, like a laptop or tablet, no. But art supplies, yes.
The "i" in stabilo is spelled like "ee" and is part of the fully name Schwan stabilo. It's one of Germanys popularest producer for stationary supplies.
not at all art related, but i’ve been watching your videos for a while, and you seem like you’re absolutely glowing in this video. hoping everything is going amazing for you 💕
Oh my I remember in Amazon I once ordered a book that was apparently « in good state » like not best but good and when I received it, IT WAS PERFECT! IT WAS SO CLEAN AND NOT EVEN BROKEN OR ANYTHING but a year later, I ordered another book that was also « in good state », but it had a very sus stain that was brown and huge on the cover and had damage on the side… it was still readable though…!
This video once again proves that a skilled artist can achieve incredible results regardless of the art supplies they have. It's a testament to their talent and creativity.
Girl let me tell you, stabilo fine liners are the best. I bought mine in 2012 and not a single one is dried out yet! I own all their highlighters too, some I bought as far back as 2009. Really the best investment I've made in Stationary!
It's so amazing to me (as a German) that people are so amazed and for us they're just a normal everyday thing. There's even a thing in German schools where people pick them up from floors or "steal" them from other students because everyone has them and constantly loose them because they're just so common.
I used to get them from art shops and my mom's college bookstore as a kid in the 80s, they were a trend and they only cost like 49 cents. Now I prefer micron pens because the ink is waterproof but I have a soft spot for all Stabilo
This was interesting - thanks for sharing this "reveal" on these categories. I've only once bought something that I think was probably in the "very good" category, and it was a toaster oven/air fryer. I think the original price was something like $189, and I got it for around $103, and it only had the teensiest scratch on the side. I use this thing every day and absolutely LOVE it, and it saved me a bundle!
"Stabilo" pronounciation guide from someone who used them since i learned how to use pens its german so the "st" at the beginning is actually pronounced "sht" (like the "its all about the mets Shpida man" meme) and the "bilo" at the end is "bee loh" so together its "shta bee loh" This has been your friendly german guiding you through our stupid pronounciation, have a nice day! also great video obviously!
I think the inspectors have very little time to actually evaluate the products. A lot of returned packages just gets thrown out without inspection as well.
I tend to buy mostly secound, "damaged" or "package open", things are usually in almost perfect condition with some hits on the box and at it worst, you'll be missing a small thing that's actually cheaper than how much you saved in the first place.
I buy the returned stuff from Amazon all the time! I always go with "like new", "good" and even "acceptable". You can rarely tell it's been used and I hardly ever have any problems and you save a HECK of a lot of money!
I sent back a set of oil pastels that I hadn’t even opened the delivery box more than a tiny cut to slip the return paperwork in, wonder if someone got a good bargain on that . I ordered a set of 72 Paul Rubin’s thinking it was new colours not just the same colours from smaller sets mashed together. Before it was even out for delivery I found out some colours had been renamed in English to confuse me and I in fact already had the complete collection, this what you get for midnight buying spree’s when you don’t do proper research 😂.
Just to clarify, the used products are not necessarily returns. Sellers can mark them as used in some categories. If you look at the listing it should tell you who the seller is. You may have gotten a mix of third party seller items and warehouse deals. If it's from Amazon warehouse deals, those may be returns but more often than not, they were inventory from a third party seller that was either damaged or previously lost in the warehouse(and later found). If it's lost or damage, Amazon will take ownership of the inventory and reimburse the seller, then turn around to sell it at a discount to recoup some of the loss. That's why a lot of them come in such good condition. Lost items are usually going to be like new and a lot of warehouse damage is more to the outer box and container so even acceptable ones are pretty good.
Ur amazing. I've been watching u since my granddaughter used to watch you when she was about 5 years old. Now I luv watching ur videos and all ur help. 💕🙏🇨🇦
Hi Rae, love your videos! Was wondering if you’ve ever run into the brand MondoLlama from target? They’ve got a crap ton of supplies they make like alcohol markers and acrylic paint! Would be cool to see you review them ^_^.
I think the prismacolor came in order just fine. If you see the 12 and the 150, they come in the rainbow like order. I bought the 36, the first "plate" is like the 12 ones, in rainbow order, the other plates are just a mess with the 2 metallic ones at the end. I tried to organize them but I gave up.
I bought the 120 set of Faber-Castell Polychromos from Amazon Warehouse - used Acceptable for $130. The Payne's Grey was the only pencil that had been sharpened, the rest may have been used to swatch. The tin did have a dent in it, but I put all my pencils in cases so that wasn't a big deal for me. I got a great deal.
I got a Used-Very Good pottery wheel and it broke the first time I tried to throw clay on it. But I have Used-Acceptable furniture and it's absolutely perfect
Had to pause the video. Anyone else yell at Rae to stop trying to figure out what it is and wipe off the color pencil container? No. Just me. I'll resume the video.
Me who's always watching her video while drawing so I can feel like im not lonely or so I can feel like someone is drawing with me while sharing drawing tips🥹

Stabilo is a german brand (as are very many pen/pencil brands :3) so you would pronounce it "shta-bee-loh"

and the "bilo" at the end is "bee loh"
so together its "shta bee loh"
This has been your friendly german guiding you through our stupid pronounciation, have a nice day!
also great video obviously!
What nail polish do you have one in this video??? Your like the 3rd TH-camr I’ve seen with this exact shade and it’s sooooo pretty!
It looks like the yellow gouache was opened, you are indeed quite lucky it didn’t run out!
I think the inspectors have very little time to actually evaluate the products. A lot of returned packages just gets thrown out without inspection as well.
I tend to buy mostly secound, "damaged" or "package open", things are usually in almost perfect condition with some hits on the box and at it worst, you'll be missing a small thing that's actually cheaper than how much you saved in the first place.
Hey queen!♥️Almost 2 million! who else thinks that rae is the kindest,most relatable and the BEST art youtuber on art youtube

I buy the returned stuff from Amazon all the time! I always go with "like new", "good" and even "acceptable". You can rarely tell it's been used and I hardly ever have any problems and you save a HECK of a lot of money!
How to order those returned products..Idk how
I sent back a set of oil pastels that I hadn’t even opened the delivery box more than a tiny cut to slip the return paperwork in, wonder if someone got a good bargain on that . I ordered a set of 72 Paul Rubin’s thinking it was new colours not just the same colours from smaller sets mashed together. Before it was even out for delivery I found out some colours had been renamed in English to confuse me and I in fact already had the complete collection, this what you get for midnight buying spree’s when you don’t do proper research 😂.
Just to clarify, the used products are not necessarily returns. Sellers can mark them as used in some categories. If you look at the listing it should tell you who the seller is. You may have gotten a mix of third party seller items and warehouse deals.
If it's from Amazon warehouse deals, those may be returns but more often than not, they were inventory from a third party seller that was either damaged or previously lost in the warehouse(and later found). If it's lost or damage, Amazon will take ownership of the inventory and reimburse the seller, then turn around to sell it at a discount to recoup some of the loss. That's why a lot of them come in such good condition. Lost items are usually going to be like new and a lot of warehouse damage is more to the outer box and container so even acceptable ones are pretty good.
gonna have a mental breakdown if i hear the word "literally" again today.
I said the same thing 😂
CONGRATS ON 2 MILLION SUBS RAE! SUPER HAPPY 4 U ❤
can we appreciate her metallica shirt and her amazing personality
CONGRATS ON 2 MILLION GIRL!!!
I bought a 8x10 block of arches used off Amazon for $15 and when it came it was 12x16 with very little damage. So a $60 block of paper for $15
Ur amazing. I've been watching u since my granddaughter used to watch you when she was about 5 years old. Now I luv watching ur videos and all ur help. 💕🙏🇨🇦
By 3:10 you had said ‘literally’ 7 times. That’s 7 times too many.
YALL RAE HIT 2 MILLION!!!
I've seen people buy pallets of returns! I wonder if you could find one of art supplies? Anyway, loved the video ❤️
I’ve done the liquidations at Amazon. Those pallets are a mix of whatever has to go.
@@amberarnold3734 I guess it's from other places where I've seen people order pallets with specific themes like makeup
RAE!! U HIT 2 MILLION 🎉
Can we just appreciate how she makes every video funny ❤️☺️

@@YoujineCornbuckle literally
The brushes were gorgeous and the gouache was so beautiful, I'm jealous.
Hi Rae, love your videos! Was wondering if you’ve ever run into the brand MondoLlama from target? They’ve got a crap ton of supplies they make like alcohol markers and acrylic paint! Would be cool to see you review them ^_^.
I might have to look at the used products more closely. Love the way the final painting came out. 🍋
Amazon said “quality at a discount”
The yellow gauche is open! When you did the close up, you can see it's open!
7:22 they didn’t think to clean it? Gross.
I think the prismacolor came in order just fine. If you see the 12 and the 150, they come in the rainbow like order. I bought the 36, the first "plate" is like the 12 ones, in rainbow order, the other plates are just a mess with the 2 metallic ones at the end. I tried to organize them but I gave up.
Literally, literally, literally ...
😂 ahahahahahahahahahahahahaahahhaaahahahahahahaahhh😂
Congrats on 2 million!!
On the gouache set, the yellow color looks like it's already open...? 6:14
Happy 2M Rae!!!!
take a shot for every time she says literally
I wish the drawing/painting parts of your videos are a little bit longer. I really enjoy your channel.
6:15 Is the yellow open? Maybe thats why?
YOUR AT 1.99 MILLION GIRL
I HAVE BEEN WITH YOU BEFORE YOU HAD 1 MIL ❤❤
LOVE YOU RAE
Imagine being that person who had the audacity to return something they they took bits out and used clearly a fair amount 🙃🙃
Omg Rae you are so close to 2 million subscribers I love your channel
Why does buying returned items sound fun though💀 idk why
Only if you wanna risk wasting your money 😭
I bought the 120 set of Faber-Castell Polychromos from Amazon Warehouse - used Acceptable for $130. The Payne's Grey was the only pencil that had been sharpened, the rest may have been used to swatch. The tin did have a dent in it, but I put all my pencils in cases so that wasn't a big deal for me. I got a great deal.
Can someone count how much times she said literally
SO CLOSE TO 2 MILL!!!!!
Count how many times she said “litt-er-a-ly”
I got a Used-Very Good pottery wheel and it broke the first time I tried to throw clay on it. But I have Used-Acceptable furniture and it's absolutely perfect
Istg these "CaN wE ApPrEciAtE" bots are a full-on pandemic on their own. Like hun- u aint even subscribed.
You know it's gonna be a good day when Rae posts
For Real Though Rae is The Best!
Had to pause the video. Anyone else yell at Rae to stop trying to figure out what it is and wipe off the color pencil container? No. Just me. I'll resume the video.
Ur not alone.
:)
Me who's always watching her video while drawing so I can feel like im not lonely or so I can feel like someone is drawing with me while sharing drawing tips🥹
Off topic but i love the metallica shirt!! 🤘＼(￣▽￣)／
