Used clothing- I am sick of looking for stains, spots, picks, missing buttons, fading, yada yada yada…
I know it’s aggravating..So I just started putting that this item may or may not have minor imperfections due to use that can only be seen under close inspection & I haven’t had any issues..Because more often than not there will be some kind of flaw!!..But if it’s a major problem I disclose it in the photo and sell it for just enough to recoup my buying price!!
ya agreed, only mess with clothing that makes sense
@@TheOneTheOnlyToast Exactly. That's why I DON'T sell them... reading is fundamental
Had 25 sales this weekend and been getting 10 to 12 a day during the week.
I'm by myself listing packaging sourcing is crazy😊
God is good
All the time. So happy to hear you are doing well.
YES!!! He is! so exciting Praying for your success
What do you like to sell?
Books! Books are my biggest problem. I love them and want them to sell. Most of them don't, but I just can't walk by them. LOL
Amazon killed that model 10 yrs ago. Old year books and urban phone books do sell, especially the latter. Media mail makes lots still an option. But I mostly buy books to read myself.
Lonnie, if shipping is an issue because of packing up very delicate ceramic flowers and branches and such, consider using crafting/pillow stuffing fiber. I recently saw one of my other TH-cam Resellers (flyingpigthrifts) pick up bags of this pillow stuffing at Goodwill for like $.99. She said that she always picks it up when she sees it at thrift stores, garage sales or estate sales because she uses it to pack and ship intricate and very fragile figurines. If you have a figurine that is very valuable, it may also be worth spending a few dollars at either a dollar or craft store to pack it.
Great info 👍🏻
Amazing tip, thank you!!❤
I listen to Carole King's Tapestry every couple months on TH-cam. An album that has held up amazingly well.
Candace is the most adorable thing EVER. We like you, Lonnie, but we are here for our girl! 😂❤ You are a very lucky man
I've sent video evidence of an item working to eBay proving the buyer purchased the wrong plug in. It was worth the effort to make the video, which we do for all electronic items.
I would love to see a comparison on Ebay and Etsy fees on a higher dollar item. Let's say around $100. I don't think Etsy charges a fee on sales tax, so I bet the difference would be supstaintial
@ 27:03 there was a sign in Russian “Don’t Climb! It’ll kill you” that they put on an electric pole. 😊
DVD/VCR combos Amen. Other TH-camrs go on and on about them being so great lol.
I wish y’all still did a few picker videos. I used to really enjoy those. Y’all, Craiglist Hunter, and CWP are my favorites.
I sell dvd's and cd's like crazy, but you have to look for out of print and things that never made a transition to the next medium. That being said it's still very easy to make bad buys, but as long as you learn not to buy it again then you get a little value from it. I have quit buying many toys unless I see they have a super good sell through. I'm to stubborn to delist the ones I have listed, but they haunt me each time I see them in my inventory.
I do Vinyl. I've done it for 70 years lol. I do play grade the better stuff and visual grade the scratchy ones. It's all in the love for the item.
The amount of lava lamps I’ve sold when I use to manage Spencer’s gifts many years ago! I should have hoarded a bunch and resold them for this insane pricing! I should have kept mine I use to have.
Thank you Sue
I love watching the reels going to good homes
i was born 1961 and know every one of those.
Most old cameras have zero value, most people cannot understand descriptions of vinyl, ie if you say there is some sratches and approx grade = vg with probability of some noise. They literally get it and scream that its sandpaper and not playable (33s around 1985 and older even with physical flaws can still play ok) I've decided To delist 500 records recently, sick of dealing with people. That being said I made a couple thousand in profit on records, hard to ignore them. I have about 100 up ATM but any new ones have to be basically excellent or up. Tired of fighting with people over 10 dollar records
in summer of 1972 Garfunkel and his girlfriend came into the Village Green Restaurant in Cottage Grove, OR, where I was working as a bus girl. I was able to get his autograph back in the kitchen. I don't know if I saved it or not or where in the world it would be if I did after all these years, but it's probably worth a little bit by now.
Those puzzle things are called sliding puzzles. I know nothing of importance, just trivial things that are not important 😅
I love my glassware (I know, not everyone's cup of tea). But if it has a tiny chip or even a rim nick I won't sell it. I want buyers feedback to say their item was better than expected -as Lonnie says "no after sale problems". Warning, vintage or even antique clear glass is no longer worth the trouble to sell.
It's hard to sell vintage glass. More times than not there are flaws.
I sell vintage glass. I do not ever sell anything with chips or cracks. I throw it out. I agree that crystal glass is no longer worth reselling. The market is swamped with Princess House.
Wow I am so happy that you took my question and did a video on it I feel like I won the lottery thanks for the tips I really appreciate it !!!! And then reading all the viewers advice too what a great group!!
yeah I prefer to look for smaller items things that take up little space and go out the door quickly. I do fairly well with used clothing even if it is super saturated, I still manage to sell several shirts a day. Toys, plushes, little collectibles or electronics etc
Also, I found a Grainger's 4 miles away. They carry any box you can imagine!
I would suggest an additional exception to your DVD/VCR buys. If it's like $5 or less, and it has the remote, I'd say it's hard to go wrong. Even if it's completely broken and not worth selling for parts, you can just junk the actual unit and the remote will probably sell for $10 - $15 alone.
I used to buy a lot of glass. Almost purchased a vase this morning. But no I put it back. The shipping prices ugh. I like small boxes or poly bag stuff.
I noticed jewelry isn’t selling as much
man i used to ship large speakers, like I'm talking the dimensions once i double boxed them, just barely made the mark for shipping and not having to go freight. I had a pair a couple years back that took me 4 hours to pack up securely. It was a $1000 sale + ship, but man i swore of selling any that big for a few years, and am still pretty picky, the margins have to be really good. Recently broke that two year mark and listed a pair of speakers last month sold them for $1200, paid $300, and I got lucky, the buyer lived only 40 miles from me and we talked on the phone and he did a local pickup!!!!
For big heavy stuff like guitar amps ..I list on Facebook Marketplace or on Craigslist .Often I will list in neighboring states and sometimes the buyer is willing to meet halfway.Only on big ticket items though.
I'm new to it but I much prefer shopping and finding things I enjoy to resell too. Bulk buying sells I hear but shopping and picking makes it fun.
Such a great and informative discussion today. Thanks!!
Always enjoy your videos. Thank you for your efforts and sharing!
I really like the longer videos. Great for when I am working. Thanks!
USS John C Stennis, I laughed when you said she was old. I remember when she joined the fleet, then I did the math and really laughed!
Honestly though, Carriers cost so much to buy and take so long to build, compared to other ships, their service life is fairly long.
Much love you two. Hope you feel better. Highschool wow!😊
There’s nothing to learn about with the first category. Part of the joy of selling something is learning about it. Well, to me anyway.
WOW! All Those Reel to Reel For Only $60? Awesome Find! Good Job- Im New Here & I Love Your Channel👍😉🇨🇦
Great video
we all having buying regrets I would sell the shoes off in a bulk lot (reseller bundle) and then they would be someone else's headache, and free up space
I still haven't worked out what will sell quickly (apart from obvious items) I have been doing this for 20 years and I get something that I think will sell straight away sits there for ever, and an item we think is not going to sell for a while sells the next day lols
I have a lot of luck with disney mugs, as for cookbooks they don't sell very well in UK I think too mass produced
My daughter's cat did the same thing when tried to harness her. It was so funny. Needless to say I don't think we have to worry about her leaving the house. 🤣
Oh no! Not The Crawfish 😂😂Lonnie: “Gettin’ all crawfish on me”😂😂 I spit out my Diet Coke on that one!
Gotta love days you get good sales after days you don’t… I didn’t get a single saw yesterday, first time in a long long time that’s ever happened… and thank goodness today has been great!
i steer clear of vinyls. i cant count how many estate sales ive been too with huge piles of vinyl, all low end stuff that just sits and sits.
Niches in all things...if you see any marbles playing trophys, pins or badges grab them...old ones go for good money. Agree...after sales hassles you want to avoid.
Better get all my marbles listed pdq.😂
@donaldmiller9648 you mentioned playing trophies and badges. Would you mind expounding on that a little? Are you talking about any playing trophies? What are badges? Thank you.
Just subscribed. You offer the best and most useful info for eBay sellers. Your awesome
About trophies: BOLO ~ just found out that some older trophy bases were made of bakelite & those can sell for decent $. (The Nurse Flipper bakelite video showed a Lot that sold for $1100!) Love your videos and the info you provide❤
You guys did a good video , I watch pretty much all the reseller videos from u tubers from all around the country , I rank them in a different kind of way , first how I think they work together , then how entertaining, then how they spread there knowledge ,, I think you two work together on a 7 , 1 to 10 scale , how you spread your knowledge was the best 10. You two spread knowledge of in reselling excellently , one of the best ! Most resellers come off like they know it all , and tell stuff on there videos that everyone knows , keep up the good work , I’m surprised you don’t have many many more followers
Shoes, clothing, and slot car sets.
Just came across your guys' channel. Love it!
Thank you!
Awesome insights in to today's reselling.
I m late to view this one. But it's great info to learn .... even if we don't sell the same things, it's lesson in thinking ahead ,,, seeing before the selling. I will probably not buy new shoes in volume. Too much variation in sizing imho. Also,,, buying a ' lot' of Collectible figurines. 2 or 3 out of 50 may have a great return but sat on the rest.😮
Very helpful. Thank- you.
I’m also a fan of the Small’s drawer!
😂
With those dog Elvis costumes people can make there dog an Elvis imPAWsenator!
I love Dad jokes! 😅
😂
My dad didn't make this one. It is of my own creation haha.@@maryclemmer1329
Great video , Thx for sharing
Those 1080p vcr/dvd combos are where it’s at. I’d avoid the rest
I won't buy beer steins anymore. Slow sellers, fragile, pain to ship, low margins and there's just too many out there.
I had a laver lamp from the 70’s which was wax in oil. It took hours to warm up but it was fab when going. I threw it out a couple of years ago.
Yes the one we sold took 5 hours to get going!
i skimmed through - but did you mention an exception for new old stock dvd/vcr and electronics?
I find a few a year, and if name brand (Sony Toshiba Mitsubishi JVC) sell for BIG $
hey im the patch guy lol but just to clear my name i ended up listing to mecari and avoiding ebay with them. also they are 90's to early 2000's. I was tempted forsure
@noahmccaghren1857 You sell patches? Where? How do I find them?
also if you want to get into them i have several ready to purchase lol@@julielivingood7103
Plush lol I have sold a few good ones, but have skill many of them they just sit!
We're very new to eBay. Working on setting up a business to run during our retirement. Can you please help me find the area in the listing process to add "custom Label" for locating our sold items? Thanks for the great videos, they are a huge help!
Can you guys talk about that spreadsheet you use? Not sure if you talked about it yet in other w videos please link if you did, thanks
I grade Vynil only optically and point it out. In addition, always a little worse than it actually is. Relatively easy and quick to do. The condition of Vynil is difficult to see in photos, unless there are really noticeable scratches and damage. Vynil collectors are more likely to be deterred from buying and buyers are more likely to be surprised by the condition if it is better. Real collectors buy from dealers who also grade the sound, at least I suspect.
Hi guys. I think the last part you brought up on listing huge amounts of items you might think about taking a groups at a time of just pics and list them in free time, just a idea!
“Smalls” Draw 😂 yep underwear in uk and “Pants” are men’s underwear 😅 Great video Lonnie & Candice 👍 I won’t sell clothes just bores me only football (soccer) shirts football is massive in uk won’t touch China or anything breakable
We won't buy Disney figurines of any type without the box (unless the price point is right). I mean, I "can" pack them safely, but that's like, way too long of a stupidly delicate pack. Department 56 and Lemax fall into the same boat.
Big size and low return items are falling off. We'll even flip furniture (and even ship), but not if the price isn't right.
Clothing in general is a NO, but especially children's clothing. What a pain. Just no, no, no. Let me add one more Nooooo!
Kids clothing was my start to eBay 20 years ago. My son is disabled so got great clothes as gifts and no crawling or eating spills so easy to sell with little wear.
Where are the best places to source. I live in Springfield mo and thought it would be easy cause all the thrift stores but the price of things is same as eBay prices. Thanks!
Super education I watch Commonwealth Kevin and he's great and so are yinz
Well whaddya know....I went looking for that globe trophy on your store and somebody bought it today. I thought it was pretty cool.
It's a really nice heavy piece!
Candice when you are bundling the small cat collars consider puting 4 small cat collars in one one bundle.I had a girlfriend who liked to be tied up and small collars fit Wrists and ankles. No kidding she came back from a shopping trip showed me 4 cat collar's and a small package of rope. I just thought she wanted them for her 1 cat..she was like does this give you any Ideas ?? No not really Then she started to say meow meow. Finally got it minutes later ...true story.❤
What is your 3D printer?
17.4% - my suggested promoted listing rate from eBay today!!
Promoted listing are a sham. I'm 0 for every item I've used it at the 10% rate. 17% is a joke. I'd just as soon throw the item out than give the $$ to Ebay at this point. Two months and no sales at low prices means there are too many of the item anyhow. Those items now get tossed. It's the only way they'll be worth anything in the future.
😮
I haven’t heard you guys mention any camping trips this summer. Are you excluding trips due to all the inventory?
We haven’t been this summer due to the heat. Will probably take some time off in the fall.
I've always thought you were lucky to buy cookbooks in Louisiana, I'm mean who wouldn't want to learn Cajun cooking. Do you think your access to Cajun cookbooks may help your sell-through rate? My local cookbooks in Minnesota seem to be a dud. Love you guys...keep up the great content.
Definitely! I very rarely buy a cookbook if it’s not from Louisiana
Cool! I’m reselling in Baton Rouge and I come across Cajun cookbooks at every single estate sale! Good to know guys!
Can you add a shelf or change the smalls shelf to Shabba shelf please after me from Manchester UK, sounds good when rolled off the tongue in an American accent, as per a long time lurker but subscriber of your channel please. I SOLD A HAT!!! Keep up the epic content as always and rescuing pooches :).
Such a fun video!! 🤩Lonnie, ssshhhhhhsshhhhh! 😶🤐
u brought out that wii fit game for another video u did recently saying it wasnt a great buy and what not, im happy to see it sell
Large breakable items
the only reason I'd buy trophies is to impressive my future kids. Why yes I was on the 2007 Girls 7 & Under State Championship Team & Milwaukee's Top Sales Associate for Q2 2007
😂
Your postage costs seem reasonable compared to Australia. Most resellers here have free shipping and it costs a fortune.
i live in the uk and can confirm we dont call drawers smalls, we call them drawers
OMG 🤔Was That His Daughter?!!🤣 hahaha👍😉🇨🇦
Electronics drive me crazy because they always have their own unique charger, they need to sell quickly or the batteries degrade, I always need to charge the item before sending it out, and before I can even list it, I need to ensure there’s no data or confidential information And test everything. It’s time consuming, and they are items that depreciate while they sit. Occasionally something tests well before I sent it out, in the buyer reports a problem, or asks for technical support.
Learning what box an item would go in and the weight, is still a learning process for me. Just sold some karate gear and my box and weight was a lot more then what I posted.
Sometimes I don't list an item until I have a box for it I pack and stack and put a post it note on the outside of it accurate everytime
@@markbrausch346 I am going to do that
You need a scale. You will lose so much money playing the guessing game, my friend.
Hi always weigh your big odd items before you put a post price and remember weight of box and cost of cello tape and bubble wrap ,, and if it’s China or glass , the long long time to pack safely , I’ve been selling years and still mess it up , x
Kandis sounds just like Rosanne!
Can you tell us what you do with your stores on ebay, etsy etc when you go on holiday? Do you put them on holiday mode?
We generally extend the shipping time
@@shedflips so then do you just create a policy for it or how to change Shipping time on all listings at once then change back when returned?
My name in lights! Now, do you have any golf ball monogramers? 😋
😂
Great video , I’m at McDonalds o my I Pad I have no wifi I will be surprised if I get it back before the the 17 of August. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️💚🥰🤗
don't go all crawfish on me - I could see this being a saying that is started LOL
😂
I hate dealing with clothing lol
I avoid 95% of anything that needs to be tested. I will pick up some calculators and voice recorders if they are battery operated.
Where do you get all this stuff. For example all those nutcrackers? Or dog costumes?
Candice found the nutcrackers on facebook marketplace. We paid $6k for 200 of them. The dog clothing/costumes we bought at a garage sale, we paid $1 per unit. I forget what the total piece count was, I think it was maybe 560? I'll try to find the videos and link them for you.

They sell the lava lamps and spencers now.
Soooo ... I am ok with the new "long" format, but I think (though my channel is dead and I have no authority) you may be able to get more view time, etc. if you "broke" these into shorter segments.
What I am thinking is that you're doing the editing/uploading/etc. already, but what if you had a pre-recorded insert (to put at the end) that said: "Hey guys, in the interest of time we're cutting this video here. There's plenty more to watch, and if you're enjoying this, click here for part 2" and you just ended with no "resolution" and picked up exactly where you left off?
I think that would kill the whole vibe of what I'm trying to do here, actually pretty happy with both the video making process and the results right now. At some point I will try something else I'm sure. Now what I may do is cut into some of these videos to make some shorts content or something like that.
ya dont do throw yard sales or sale in flee markets
You should send Sue some flowers for the reels
So where are you buying the dog costumes that look new in the package (extra large gorilla )
It all came from a yard sale
👋🏾🐻 Great video.
Dog Gone!
They are your bats, but I would NOT have them in the rafters unless they are 100% supported, because WOOD WARPS unless you have 24-7/365 controlled humidity and great luck. (pool sticks, wooden canes, wooden hocky sticks, etc.) are subject to warping.
GREAT VIDEO! Quite motivational. Appreciate the 'long tail listings' - and your 'shed' I'd guess it's a 12x40?!?!
Close. It’s 12x30. We need a 12x40 😂
@@shedflips - I like the layout of your 'shed' ... we have 3 'semi trailers' - fixing to get a couple more conex containers. Plan to use the conex containers for 'new' inventory & sorting, processing... and the semi containers for the 'listed' with all the shelves and such.
@@shedflips - not sure what the cost of 'sheds' are there, but here (E. TN) I can get 4 good used 40' conex containers for the cost of one just of the 12x40 sheds, and a 12x60 isn't that much more than the 12x40 (here). Conex containers can be 'moved' FULL... whereas semi trailers can't be moved with anything in them once the axles have been removed. Also, the conex containers can be 'stacked' and joined, and expanded - if you know someone that can weld (and you don't plan on moving them anytime soon). Anyhow... just a thought. Conex containers require little maintenance, and are designed to LAST 30 to 50 years when on rock or slightly off the ground. I've had 2 of my containers for over 25 years. Just a thought...
Our buying price was not bad a the time. We bought it before the pandemic and inflation.
@@shedflips - I can touch solid good to great used conex containers for about $3k here in E. TN (should be less for you, so close to the ports)... a 'one trip' (looks new) is about $4500 (here). Whereas, the 12x40 wooden sheds START at about $12k 'delivered' - and can't be moved unless they are 100% emptied. Just a thought, IF you ever consider moving. If our property was laid out differently, I'd do two conex'es on each side, one 'across the back' - and put a domed roof over BETWEEN THEM. Neighbor has that type of set up for his hay & equipment, it's pretty sweet. LOTS of space, and an instant 'warehouse'... but I'd probably put the 'roof' to the OUTSIDE of the conex's - rather than the inside. A bit less 'easily accessible' space, but protects the roofs MORE, and turns the roofs into some additional 'under cover' storage potential.
I'm old - figure I *should* (maybe, hopefully) have ONE move left. The only question is WHERE to, at what cost, and how is ALL THE STUFF we have going to get moved too. LOL Conex containers of 'packed inventory' CAN BE MOVED filled, so it's actually a double win (for us), IF we eventually find a place we believe will be better than what we have now. Anyhow... THANK YOU (and your wife) for some great videos. MUCH appreciated! My wife & I have learned a couple things from y'all.
I can't stop buying anything. I have a problem lol
👍
Whenever I sell an electronic item with issues I’ll message the buyer and get a verbal confirmation that they are aware of the issue as described in the listing. I had several folks purchase an item and then claim they didn’t know about an issue even though it was described. They returned it claiming “not as described” which as you know means I paid for shipping both ways. This very quickly becomes cost prohibitive as you also know. It takes a little time but since I’ve been doing it I’ve had no issues. Just a thought.
That is worth mentioning to the buyer. However, when they don't respond, you should still ship. If they make an issue of it, you point them to the item description and if they still want you to pay return shipping, let eBay intervene. It is not your fault that they didn't read the details.
@@tonya4689 yes, I’ve had that situation happen several times. I agree, snd would still ship. Thankfully, most respond. Good point!
