- these are the best item to sell on ebay. you can find these regularly in thrift stores and garage sales everywhere. selling on ebay becomes easy when you focus on the right items. reselling is an awesome side hustle that can even turn into a full time income.
I don’t know if you have already, but could you share how you ship golf clubs and which ones to look for? Thanks for your videos
Whether it was the estate sales in UT or from the few I’ve gone to here in NC, they are the best. But, even better when a family run estate sale.
Last year I went to one in Wilson NC. Went twice and spent about $300. The house was being sold and there was “junk” everywhere. I told them I could come clean out the house for a fee when they were done, but they said they had it.
Two days later, they called me and said they had gotten a 35 foot dumpster and wondered if I’d be willing to help load it up. So I agreed if I could take things they were getting rid of. I spent maybe 12 hours over a few evenings doing the labor. And it was pretty much only me.
But I also brought three pickup loads of stuff home for “free”. This far, I’ve sold over $1K on eBay and FB MP. And still have a lot of stuff. Even if I never sold another item from there, that’s about an $85 per hour job. But I will still sell a lot more.
Want more stuff? Think outside the box for resourcing. Do the grunt work others don’t want to do. Pays off well.
Love your videos.
Your videos are THE most helpful for me an eBay seller. I’m looking to improve my sales rate. THANK YOU.
Get most of my stuff from online auctions pennies on the dollar. Goodwill and another favorite place to find little gems is in my son’s closets as they are grown and gone. Plus purging my closets at home. Thank you for the valuable information. I will continue to tune in.
I am jealous. I use to sell vacuums, food processors, stereos, etc....or their parts when things went sideways. I can no longer buy the big or heavy items due to injured back 3 years ago. Done with that. I have had to switch to high profit items that will fit in the palm of my hand. There is NO competition for the big and heavy product and tons of competition for the smalls. I sure miss buying everything and anything. SO MUCH MONEY to be made. Keep spreading the word. I need dealers to go for the radio and leave jewelry alone till I get done.
Thanks for the tip. I've noticed in the past if I was interested in an item on Amazon and didn't buy it immediately the price increases. In the future I will wait it out and hope for a discount.
Just starting out in the last couple weeks. So far everything has been from thrift stores or personal items.
I stumbled upon your TH-cam channel thankfully one day. Right when I started trying to resell part-time and I've learned so much from you. Truly. I work a 10-hour day job with an hour commute and just by buying items off of Marketplace I've had 4,300 in sales the last 90 days.
Hell yeah this is inspiring to read. So you buy of marketplace and resell on ebay?
@@ClimbClear yessir. Mostly. Haven't had enough time to go hit yard sales in my area. I sold $264 this weekend so add that to the first comment number lol. You can do it!
@@850CANEhow much profit after expenses and fees from that many sales?
@@ClimbClear idk. I'm going to do the math this weekend.
@@ClimbClear I'm sorry I had a really busy weekend but I'm definitely going to do the math this weekend cuz I really want to know how much profit I've made but I've now sold $5,135 since first commenting
I mostly get from thrift but found that during winter months started on online auctions. Just like anything it takes a ton of time to get used to what works and what doesn’t. Lot of trial and error
Amen!
Depends on the season. This past winter I've sourced items from multiple thrift stores, facebook, & nextdoor and occasionally estate sales. Prior to winter I was hitting up garage sales and will continue to focus on those again as they come out of hibernation along with the previous mention sources.
I mostly get things from thrift stores. Not too many garage sales currently here in MN. Summer time, I try to hit up some garage sales, but mostly thrift stores. I've sold a couple of those Bosch stand mixers. They go for great monies! Nice items!
Stayed till the end. Great content. Thanks!
I just picked up that same exact Bosch pro mixer today, complete for $6. 😉
The things you find at the bins, never really surprises me anymore. So many gems.
Great video. Thanks a lot for the advice at the end.👍🏽
When we go to doctors appointments we have specific thrift stores we like to go to in these towns. I live in a very small town so our doctors are in hour drive away. By thrifting this way a regular Dr appointment becomes a mileage deduction and as well. And since we are still learning it prevents us from buying too much as our time is limited some what as well. Then we have some local thrift stores as well but this year I am really excited to do some garage sale shopping on the weekends as well. Being in a small town the garage sales are really good when we have them. I know there are other resellers around me but I feel fortunate that we are not oversaturated with resellers.
I love your videos man, keep up the good work
Would you be able to show how you pack up heavy electronics? I'm wanting to sell in that category more but am unsure about proper packing.
Also, I is there a benefit to charging retail shipping prices to the buyer rather than your discounted ebay shipping?
Thanks
I agree. I’d like to see this. I did buy an air pillow machine and I love it! Definitely worth the investment imo. Some people do a box in a box and peanuts method but I hate that. I love me some air pillows and shrink wrap.
You lose money on shipping passing on the discount. You’re charged fees on your shipping. Shipping a receiver usually required more then you’d expect in materials. storing the materials has cost as well. If you don’t make a margin on shipping you’ll eventually go out of business or realize you’re making far less then you thought when you run your numbers
I live on the East Coast and most of my buys are from online auctions and estate sales. Til it gets warmer, hopefully, I will be getting more items from yard sales. But I’ve been doing quite well from the online auction and estate sales. as of right now, this is just a side hustle.
Aww, I am glad I stayed to the end. Sweet.
Hello from your "old friend" in Sedona! Nice meeting you and wanted to tell you, that day I actually had a remote control in the car ready to be shipped, thanks to the advice given in one of your videos. So, I have a challenge for you next time you're in the area if you're up for it... When I lived in Utah I had the blessing of Desert Industries and good old fashioned yard sales. Here in Sedona, every thrift shop, yard sale and even Goodwill is extremely overpriced. I'd be curious to see what your techniques would be like in an area like this...
Jride, I appreciate all the hours you spend on your videos. You could just shut it off and make more money reselling (Tech style). Hopefully you are making enough on YT to justify the massive hours you put into your videos. I get my items from my basement and garage. With three adult daughters I have used clothes for days and days. I would never thrift clothing until I get rid of my own used clothes first. I have enough clothes and items around the house to last me another 30 days before I will be forced to start sourcing. In DuPage County IL where I live (one of the richest counties in IL) there is stuff for days and days to get at thrift stores. However, they do jack up the prices around me at the store so your best bet is to get items from garage sales. Rich people dont have garage sales (they just donate there items). The Blue Collar neighborhoods have the best garage sales. Estate sales near me charge Ebay prices until Sunday when they offer 50% off (they need to dump or donate the last items and usually the left over stuff are large furniture items).
Content is much more scaleable then reselling with much less overhead. I’m having a great time and make great money doing both😊
Hi, enjoying your videos so much! If you have a chance sometime, could you please make a shipping video. I was just wondering how you ship larger item such as electronics , receivers, video equipment that is big and heavy. Packaging so things do not break would be super helpful. Thanks, congratulations on all your success.
I really appreciate you bro
I saw the exact rice maker at Goodwill this weekend. Didn’t get it though. I am just starting so I am trying to find things less than $10 to flip.
Look for small accessories: video game controllers/parts, computer mice, and certain cables. That stuff will ship cheaply and normally have fast sell through rates. Good luck 👍🏿
I shipped out a Golf Guard rolling travel hard case... 48" in total length.
Garage sales, but I'm going full time next month and will then branch out more to thrifts, bins, and estate sales. I'm excited and scared as heck! Lol
Hello wanted to ask how do you get all the boxes and the small mailing packages is it cheap
I have only been selling for about a month. Small to medium items nothing large. If my shipping cost shows $6-$10 I’ve just been figuring $10 into my selling price and offering free shipping. Which way is better? Free shipping or setting a flat rate and charging shipping? I have enjoyed your videos and I’m learning! Thanks for all the great info and tips.
SUNGLASSES...do you list all of your sunglasses as FRAMES ONLY?
If they’re scratched. If they’re in good condition sell them as sunglasses
mostly, I get stuff from friends and thrift stores. Garage sales in the summer are good otherwise.
Awesome
For shipping you tend to use lots of bubble wrap. What kind and Where do you getnit from thanks.
Yay, free tip!
I have some large framed lithographs to sell. I need to list them and learn how to shop bc they're bank....
Do you fully test all of your stereo and AV receivers or just see that they power on. If so, is there a quick way to test each unit? If you do not test, what is the return rate?
I’m pretty sure he fully tests them. If you don’t fully test them then they should be sold as parts/repair. There is no quick way to test them because there is so many ports and if you skip some and the buyer discovers some of them don’t work and it was advertised as fully tested, you could have some problems. Not sure what his return rate is, but it is generally low. Good luck
Do you have to purchase large boxes to ship your receivers and vhs players? Do you have a link on where to purchase the boxes you ship them in ?
He says he doesn't buy boxes. He goes to dollar stores dumpsters etc and gets free boxes.
My hesitation on selling electronics is the fear that they won’t work. Especially if I don’t have the proper cables or cords. How do you deal with that?
There will be times when electronics don’t work. It’s just the way it is. But the fact that most electronics have a superior sell through rate and sell for nice profits will make up for it. Not having the right accessories, you can likely sell it for parts/repair. It really depends on which item you are talking about. Even for parts/repair it’s probably still worth picking up if you get it cheap enough. Good luck 👍🏿
How do you know if the glasses you sell are authentic?
How did you charge $40 shipping on a $18 shipped item? Flat shipping or messing with calculated ground metrics?
How do you ship big items like vcr or bigger, flat rate or calculate?
There is no wrong way to do it. It’s completely up to you. If you decide to go with the flat rate model, there will be times when you make a few extra dollars with the shipping and there will be times you will lose a few dollars due to shipping. Example: say chicago to ohio (make money). Chicago to PR lose money.
If you do calculated shipping you will need to put the weight and dimensions in the listing up front. Flat rate, you don’t have to. Good luck 🙌🏿
How do you ship single airpods? Bubble mailer?
Envelope + bubble wrap to save money or use the bubble mailer to save time. Good luck 👍🏿
I was thrown off when you said you passed on Odyssey’s other clubs, what? Turns out after a quick eBay search they have made clubs other than putters…98.7% of the eBay listings are putters though
Content comment for the algorithm gods.
I've been looking at products on ebay for a few hours, and I literally can't find anything with a sell through rate over 50%. Am I doing something wrong?? I've looked at perfumes/aftershaves, video games, calculators, sunglasses, stainless steel coffee cups ect.
Super inmormative as usual. How do you test the pioneer receiver?
I think you mean informative.
1:25 When you say "making $100k or less," do you mean gross or net?
I'm very surprised at the cost of shipping that people are paying, for example the item you sold at the beginning for $50 and $96 postage? is this international? Crazy prices people are paying for old stuff...
What was that $40. little whute thing you sold? I'm sorry, i don't know what it was.
Can you direct me to a youtube channel that covers bookkeeping for ebay resellers, I want to keep it simple as I begin but I want to have solid record keeping from the start. Thanks.
Almost 100% thrift stores
I don't like nor do I eat Reese's Peanut Butter Cups.
You're not real if you don't like nor do you eat Reese's Peanut Butter Cups.
Yeah, you can’t afford to eat anything that might effect your girlish figure.
Didn't know the camera memory sticks were worth that much. I've got probably 20 or so 🤑
U didn't answer the question.
Just curious when u continue to do ill relevant videos telling people what to resell it doesnt take a genius to figure it out
Why not do a video on dealling with shit customers or dealing with ebay customer service
So, let me see, subwoofer you charged 72 to ship but only costs you 26. Not giving a break to the buyer? Somewhat unethical in my eyes. Sure your readers will comment buyer agreed to the charge but for me, that's not right.
I sell printers that can be between 20 to 50+ pounds. It takes a good amount of packing material and time to pack these larger items. Many times it can take me 1.5 hours or more depending on what the item is. Sometimes my “buffer” enough and it digs into my overall profit when shipping large items.
Do you ship large items?
It's not your wallet
People pay what they’re willing to for the item.
You've got the wrong mindset. It's called shipping and handling for a reason. That amount charged is to cover the packing supplies, the shipping cost, and the time spent packing an item securely so it makes it to the buyer undamaged. That is a skill that not everyone has. And when it's done correctly it takes a while. That's what you're paying for
His readers? Do you think he’s an author?
I do have a question if u focus on sell thru rate mostly why do some items still take months to sell
A 90 day 100% sell through rate is 3 months
