On a serious note. I never question what you two do. I just watch and learn. Basically a free mentor/clothes guru
Thanks so much for watching we appreciate you too! 🙌🏻
I wish every single reseller would watch this video. The "race to the bottom" mentality abounds here in the US. Thanks for sharing your best practices with us!❤❤
No problem thanks for watching and your support! 💕
I just wanted to say thank you,not only for all your great content and laugs but also for your generosity of helping orhers by sharing your experiences and knowledge, i recently lost my job due to spinal injury and was in a pretty dark place,being the breadwinner i didnt know what to do, i like antiques and vintage so started selling some i had found in the charity shops ,your page and both of you have helped me in a way you will never understand, Thank you again ❤
Honestly no need to thank us! The fact you watch is more than enough, I’m glad we could help in anyway we have and can only say thank you for your support! Much love 💕💕💕💕
I'm catching up as I've only just found you! However, I'm now addicted. This is a brilliant video. Thank you so much J xxx
Thanks for watching Julie We appreciate you if we can help with anything just dm us! 💕
Thanks for sharing your advice… So many great points mentioned here! My favourite of which is to look at retail prices rather than comps on eBay. I sell mostly bread and butter brands such as white stuff, fat face, phase 8, Reiss, et cetera, and was absolutely amazed how much prices have increased recently and have repriced some of my stock accordingly.
But also if you sell vintage and handcrafted items, make sure to mention the work that goes into making those items and how exclusive they are, because most modern clothing doesn’t have that same level of quality.
Also I very much agree that, most times, you get out what you put in, as regards describing condition, colour, measurements as well as sizing and have decent photos the prices increase and the stock get sold quicker. It is better to sell less, after all more stock needs more Storage which costs money in itself.
I think it’s also a very important point to accept returns. A lot of sellers are reluctant but if the buyer isn’t happy, they will open an item not described case anyway, leave negative feedback and kick up a fuss. So this helps to minimise that situation.
I would also like to point out that I used to think also that reselling was all about designer brands. But looking at my biggest sales, they’ve been mid market and vintage items. The Maxmara, Dolce and gabbana is sitting around forever waiting for a buyer. So as you have very much pointed out in the video, it’s full of surprises and all about the buyer’s whims, and about the right marketplace for the right buyer.
Thanks again X
How refreshing people not apologising for how they choose to price. Total common sense, anyone who argues is either jealous or doesn't understand business.
We absolutely love you both... keep doing what you do..
This comment is exactly why we make these videos…. Thanks so much for watching we really do appreciate you guys! 🙌🏻
Thank you for such an eloquently presented, well thought out video with lots of well reasoned arguments against the “race to the bottom” culture that seems to be prevalent on eBay. I have seen the impact it has had on lots of stuff, from board games to high end electronics and home electricals too. Thank you for the extra filtering tips, to be honest I hadn’t thought of that although I always scroll through to find the highest soles and pitch mine about the same. Good to hear other more experienced people think like I do! Keep up the great content guys! Thank you! Much appreciated and enjoyable watching!🙏
Thanks so much, it’s something we just think can benefit everyone! Thanks for watching we appreciate you ❤️
Hi! A video about photographing garments would be great, how do you get lighting right, what do you use etc
It’s on the list thanks for the suggestion and for watching ❤️❤️❤️
A great point! I recently helped a friend with his listings. I said he was too cheap and the photos weren’t goo enough. I more than doubled the price on a listing for him and filled it with much better photos. The garment sold within 24 hours at the newer price that was more than double what he originally priced at. Now he prices his items like I do and takes good photos. 😊
Awesome! Well done it does make a difference 👍🏻
Brilliant video guys. I think the economic situation will impact a lot of people's businesses in time as I predict quite a dark depression. I think in your situation that in a weird way comps don't really matter because your item will be so different to all the others out there like you explained. Keep pushing those comps up, especially when inflation is running at 20% when ignoring all the fudged government data.
Thanks for watching we appreciate you and you make some really great points! 🙌🏻
Another Brilliant informative video from you guys. As an avid follower on all your platforms I've seen past vids where you advise/explain 'List Up'.
Another downside of most selling platforms, is when you do a search through comps, looking what to price your item at they always suggest the cheaper end items as they want you to sell quickly so they get their Fees.. x
You make a great point VESTIAIRE is the worst for this….. ignore them and price accordingly! 😂😂😂
Thank you Both for taking the time to share this Informatition with us. I definitely spend a lot more time checking comps on items since watching you. Things may be taking longer to sell but Im getting much better prices.
What Im trying to do is build my shop with much better Quality Fashion. Its taking time but I love what im doing.
Keep your wonderful Informative, light-Hearted & funny Video coming.xx
Great work Alexa! I think in the long run it’s the best way to do it! 🙌🏻
Hi Bethany & Austin, I try to keep prices as high as possible for all the reasons you are saying, it’s like everyone else is in a race to the bottom, very frustrating when you have a good quality, excellent condition item and you see comps for £25-£30 seems the ball park figure at the moment on EBay !!! I think a lot of people just want a quick profit & turn over which is detrimental to the reselling market on a whole, we who are trying to keep the market up are left holding a lot of the time. It’s madness out here as a seller… love you guys ❤
I tend to hang on and wait until the cheapo sellers run out then I sell my stuff. It’s hard work getting stuff to sell so I’m not letting it go for nothing! It’s concerning though that these people don’t realise they are adversely affecting the market…
@@themoodyteam No I don’t try to keep the market up, I just wait until I get what I want for my stuff basically. Works for me! Hmmm, LPs you say? 😀 Always wondered about those! Might have a look!
@@themoodyteam Totally agree though, there will always be people out for quick money, I refuse to be a busy fool, myself…
@@themoodyteam Of course yes, adapt and overcome 😀 I do think clothes and shoes seem to be quite a good niche. However, the luxury market although super profitable is also fraught with risk when knowledge is limited like mine. Must learn more! 😀
Thank you! All such great points I wish all resellers looked at it like you!
P.s We love you too! ❤️
Well put love it wish everyone puts up there stuff at the right price I get up set when I s some comps sold at £100 and some at £30 I just got a pair of the who Converse and comps was £400 sold down to £35 so I put my up for £200 as I’m confused and don’t want to undersell them
Great point! 🙏🏻
Il pay whatever Austin says. Standing there like he's in the Cardiff soul crew.
😂😂😂😂😂😂
What an excellent video. Really helpful, really useful, really informative. Just love the knowledge you have for brands. Thanks so much for making this. 👍👍👍
Thanks for watching hope it helped in some kind of way 🙌🏻
Absolutely awesome video... Love how you guys are always willing to help others improve. You've actually changed my perspective with a few things you highlighted. 👍
Much appreciate your feedback! Thanks for watching 🙌🏻
Wow!! Total quality content 👌
Much appreciated thanks for watching 🙌🏻
Thank you for sharing this. I will be using your search tips when I’m next out and about.
No problem at all hope it helps! 👍🏻
This is my first video 🎉 and 5 mins in I’ve learned that comps don’t mean completed 🤦🏼♀️ seriously tho, I’m ALWAYS saying to my husband that sellers are tanking prices on eBay in various different ways. Looking forward to watching this 😊
I think some people do think it means completed. And that’s interesting in itself! Either or, it’s okay regardless!
Thank you for watching!! We do get more fun I promise!!
Thank you this is so helpful! You two are so full of knowledge it’s amazing.
So very kind of you! Thank you so much for watching!!
Hi Guys, Thank you so much for sharing your knowledge. We really do learn so much from you and your content is amazing. Keep up the fantastic work and can we join you on that yacht Lol. Love Paul and Marie🥰 👍
Thanks so much guys! Two seats waiting for you on the yacht whenever you are ready! 💕
Thank you for this video - full of lots of interesting info! 😊
Glad you enjoyed it, thanks for watching we appreciate you 🙌🏻
Learning a lot from you guys, so thanks x
Thank you for watching! 💕
100% agree with you guys.
🙌🏻
Very helpful video, thank you for all the advice.
Thank you for watching and commenting we really appreciate it!
I’ve got a Burberry wool coat made in Spain can not Find comps on it but I payed £19 for it need a wash as it looks old just need to look up to see if it Real but it look old
Send us some pics on insta and I’ll let you know 👍🏻
Thanks for sharing, very interesting and helpful. Quick question, how do you price to take account of any offers? Thanks
Hi thanks for watching, We price above market as mentioned so we allow for room to negotiate. Hope this helps 💕
Good morning guys! X
Good morning!
I sometimes wonder if you have more of a following as well when you do You Tube. I follow you on Ebay because I found you on You Tube.
I do see your point though in terms of clothing being dubbed down price wise on a secondhand market
To add to this I would love for you to go through an obvious reseller account and say what you would do differently if it was your account..... would make a brilliant video.
In the last year from doing TH-cam we’ve had one subscriber sale, which was on our other eBay account and one on vinted.
I do in all transparency think we get watchers from the Channel over to eBay however these don’t equal sales just traffic, which is probably a good form metrics, however it doesn’t effect the prices we achieve. If that makes sense.
I know some use TH-cam as a platform to sell, this really isn’t of interest to us. As much as sharing knowledge to make higher prices.
i rarely use comps ....and if i do i always go higher
I was talking to Austin about you before we filmed this. We’ve always done it this way, and I starting following you and your vintage, homewares etc and I was blown away with not only your knowledge but your confidence in your listing and pricing. Inspirational.
@@theluxurypickers awww thanks ... I'm hoping to chat abit about pricing vintage at the summit ...nobody should be racing to the bottom ...we need to get everyone to elevate the price so we all benefit
Soo defensive a video - what happened ?!
Not at all! Just taking the time to explain some the methods to our reselling and profits.
I agree... I've been keeping this in mind when pricing.. it's easy to sell something cheap but it only affects us in the long run.
Spot on! This is the message everyone needs to pass on! 🙌🏻
Thank you! I have just upped my prices by around 40% 🙂
Yessssss let’s make some money! 💕
I finished watching this video... I literally want to stand up and clap and throw red roses at you. This. Facts. Bravo!! 👏👏👏👏🌹🌹🌹🌹
This Comment will be printed out and framed! 😂 thank you so much ❤️
@@theluxurypickers Haha! You're very welcome too!
pootle from the flumps, its the hat!!! words can get missconstruddled on the internet, passion can come across as something else, but ive never seen that from you guys, could talk alot about human psychology its my thing lol...but this is about how to be the best that you can be,
Pootle! 😂😂😂😂 thanks again for watching 🙌🏻
You now have a reputation and people will know that you are selling genuine items so why would you sell them for rock bottom when you have taken the time to learn. I only have full respect for your way of doing things
All great points! 🙌🏻 thanks so much for watching we appreciate you 💕
Ooh, after watching this I'm going to set my own price for the black nova check Burberry golf jacket I picked up just before Christmas, simply because it's embroidered with the 2001 Royal Lytham St Annes open golf logo and I can't find any others at all apart from a visually similar one on Depop. I've been back 3 years via terrapeak on ebay and there's nothing in the same pattern showing up.
Completely agree, applies to my vintage goods category also. i often price using etsy prices which are higher than ebay but often i still get the sale on ebay. i think good photos, feedback, etc is a big factor.
100%. Even items we know will get the sale on Vestiaire like your Etsy we will price the same on eBay and eBay will get the sale. There’s always opportunity to achieve more, if It’s selling higher on Etsy there’s obviously a demand for it that eBay hasn’t caught up on or historicity has been priced out on eBay.
It’s all very interesting.
But yes the combination of a good quality listing helps hugely.
I didn't realise till I started reselling that I was a goldilocks buyer.. I'd see 3 items exactly the same but at 3 different prices. I'd think the lowest price one must have a problem and the top price one is trying to rip me off. So I'd go for the middle price one thinking its safe. 🤣 Apparently its actually a thing and often think about this when I'm listing.
Goldilocks buyer 😂😂😂😂
Totally with you on all of this, I don't have the background in high end branding but consider it my job to be learning all the time. I like to push prices too. Yay! Its not just me who researches the hell out of stuff lol
Awesome stuff! If we ever stop learning we may aswell just give up so well done! And thanks for watching 👌🏻
So glad to see this. I do 99% hard goods. It's similar in that market. I follow a number of resellers on TH-cam. I cringe every time I hear "I took the (lowball - in my view) offer. I just wanted it gone". Then in the next breath complain about the race to the bottom. I always sort by highest price when I do comps then price accordingly. And wait until the right buyer comes along. Works for me. NB - I have a small store currently.
Hi You make some great points and I actually think the whole “wait till the right buyer comes along” is the fun! Thanks for watching ❤️
Thank you both again for such a knowledgeable video. I'm learning so much I picked up a pair of Spokes the other day after watching your past video, and panicked when I saw the comps so glad I watched this today. So grateful for your knowledge and passion for reselling!
Thank you for watching! ❤️
Hi, I have been working my way through your vids, I've learned a lot. I don't remember things easily so I have a list of designer names written down. Excellent advice on listing at the right price. When you had a barber coat, did you shave some money off the price. Also from Cardiff. TTFN
Awesome thanks for your comments you could also type a brand list in your notes on your phone and just add more as you go etc. It was a Barbour hood and we sold it new with tags for pretty much retail. Thanks for watching 🙌🏻
The barber coat was a joke. Good advice Thanks
Your passion for the clothing value is amazing and it rev’s me up to get more for my items, thank you so much, can’t get over how much information you give to help us all, truly appreciated ❤
Thank you so much for watching we appreciate you! 💕
Brilliant video guys, probably best and most informative I have seen re clothing, thanks guys👏👏👏
Thanks for watching Carl we appreciate you! 🙏🏻
Excellent video and your points are well made. Thank you for the great content and inspiration to us all.
I would be interested to know which American YTers you follow/rate for clothing reselling? Thanks again!
Thank YOU for watching! ❤️
There are quite a few we will make a TH-cam short on this! 🙌🏻
I don't know if mention this in this video or another, so will ask anyway... If you have items like shorts or 'summer items', would you wait until warmer months to list them as this would sort of follow trends, or would you list and leave it up anyway?
Seasonal trends don’t enter our universe. There is always someone going on holiday or winter sun and if your selling the only Dior bikini because people are holding off till summer to list. Yours is going to sell.
I don’t get it maybe I’m being thick ? But if u can get so much from escada trousers why don’t u buy all the cheap ones of eBay and resell them ?
Because this was a video about selling, getting the best prices for your items and helping the community with a different idea.
Not a buying video.
And if I were to buy up all the product on eBay that was underpriced and Vestiaire, depop etc I would I literally need 100’s of millions of pounds. So maybe in the mean time sending a little help to the community is a good idea.
And if the general reselling community raise their prices even 20% then I can rise my prices again 20% so it’s a win win win.
But feel free to start buying Escada trousers! A little free tip off there too…
I was going to knock off a few quid today for some of my listings. But nope… And yes, photos are key…I also turned a ski jacket inside out, as it had soooo much detailing. Different details, geometric print, flawless, and crisp. Not classed as a luxury brand. Definitely will focus on the highest price. Lots of learnings on this vid given your vast experience- will watch this a few times, and refine listings accordingly ❤ Thank You
What a great attitude! Honestly we just want everyone to make more money! Simple 🙌🏻
Thank you both for this information, I’m just starting out, this information has really helped me understand. Thank you 😊
No problem hope it was of some use! Have a great day 🙌🏻
You look so much like Trevor Coult in a good way look up his chanel, He got a medal from our late queen 🙂
Austin gets compared to so many people! I’ve never met anyone that looks like so many different humans!! 😂
@@theluxurypickers 😂
Really Like your ebay selling model really helpful maybe but I'm just thinking it would be difficult to source high end items regularly ?. Your ideas are great thank you
We sell high end as well as high end high street and that lets us source more than enough product for our store! 👍🏻
Every reseller should be subscribed to you guys if they wish to prosper…
That’s such a massive complement! We really do appreciate you!
I’m only at 17:28 of you video, but guys i know exactly what you are saying. I rarely go into shopping centres etc, as they aren’t my bag. I went recently to my local shopping centre with my best friend as she wanted to go into All Saints. As resellers, I think you will agree, All Saints is a flooded market and “comps” are not great. Obviously some items go for more than others, and the older label stuff sells better, but generalising - like your Fred Perry example, it’s not one of the high end high street brands for good sale values. Anyway, I nearly died when I was looking at the price tags in the shop. Hardly anything was under £200, I saw a couple of basic dresses - nice, but nothing earth shattering, both priced at £299. I know this is current season, but my mind got to thinking that if I could source that dress, there should be nothing stopping me for example being able to resell that for £200+ (at least), because it’s a 1/3 off retail, so still a bargain, and a buyer genuinely seeking that dress out would be happy with that in my opinion 🤷🏼♀️ But I know most people would scoff at selling an all saints dress for £200.
Before you guys ever came on the scene, this whole topic used to boil my blood, as the market is getting driven down in many areas, not just clothing. I deal a lot in women’s footwear, and seeing the prices dive breaks my heart. I have only started diversifying away from fashion this year into other categories, but I am glad someone is now giving a voice to the problem that has been bubbling away for some time now.
Thanks so much for taking the time to comment but All Saints is a great example. 👌🏻
Regarding giving a voice I think we should all be ‘shouting up the comps’ from the rooftops! 😂😂
Spot on once again, great advice! Drives me mad when I watch a TH-cam video and the person shows comps then says " I'm just going to price slightly lower to undercut the market and get a quick sale"!! Affects us all in the long run!
Exactly! Such a good point thanks for watching 👌🏻
Great video. 'Set the market' should be the reseller mantra for 2023.
Yessssss! Let’s do it! ❤️
thanks for this, i actually have a pair of Escada jeans listed now, and i'm realising they are priced super low for what they are. I'm going to get them on vestiare!
Doooooo it! 💕
Great video as always guys, what American youtubers would you recommend?
There are so many for different reasons…. ralliroots, Paul cantu, homeschooling picker, common wealth picker, hairy tornado and crazy lamp lady to name a few! 😂
Great video it’s given me some pointers. I will definitely try the methods you suggested but I’m a bit worried it will affect my sales, as it’s my only income. I usually price mid-range. I would love to see a solds video from you guys soon too😊
100% completely understand. And also understand everyone has different circumstances and businesses in general.
We just wanted to share how we viewed it, it may help the way you filter comps or look at some brands and that’s super cool.
And it might also help people understand our business model more and why we say the things we say!
Thank you so much for watching and commenting!
An excellent overview, many points well made
Much appreciated! ❤️
Totally changed the way I approach my pricing, thanks so much! Quick question: when you list on ebay, how much detail do you go into? What do you think is the best balance to strike between coming up high in the search listings and time spent on listing? Thanks as ever for your reselling know how and support!
Love you guys x
We love you Tooooooo! ❤️❤️❤️
I always thought comps was 'completed listings'
Me too
No comparisons or comparable…… Google knows 😂
Love you two, you always talk total sense
We appreciate you saying so! Thanks for watching we appreciate you 🙌🏻
OoooohhhhYesssssss
👌🏻👌🏻👌🏻👌🏻👌🏻
Why do you not include measurements in your listings? Does it increase your returns rate?
Time efficiently in the most part. We do include dimensions on handbags etc it’s something we have explored and fitting it in our schedule. Due to volumes we process.
However our returns rate remains under 2% on average per 200 orders.
I’d much rather have a return for fit, which happens regardless of measurements in some cases, then ‘not in received condition’ due to poor photographs or undisclosed information. Which effects your metrics.
If measurements are requested we give them.
There is much more importance is good quality photos, customer service and titles and descriptions.
Thanks for sharing! It's a shame you had to spell it out ... I got you the first time you suggested to comp across platforms 😉 Sending good vibes
Thought it was a great point and topic for a video. Multiple people addressed the same point, and we realised we had never taken the time to talk about how we do things!
It’s hard to explain in these tiny comment boxes! 💕💕
