Thank you so much. The white tee is free people and the jacket is Blank NYC, I should have shown you the back. The back has a huge tiger on it, ha hahahahah totally over the top but it's fun. xo Quenby
I love that dress too and it the material feels so good. Why couldn't you wear it at 77? It is modest, or do you think it would look "too young" ? For me personally, there are styles I don't feel comfortable with wearing at age 47, so I know what you mean, but many women say wear whatever you want, and I like that idea too!
Me too Mary. I think it was really good. Some of the good stuff will make up for the little tank tops, so overall it was excellent. I appreciate you watching! xo Quenby
That top is hanging in my own closet right now. I am the worst reseller and want to keep everything but I am only keeping a couple items from this haul (so far). xo Q
Good box!! Free people and everlane are my best selling brand as well it really depends on the pieces! I have alot of nwt crop tops and mini dresses that have been sitting for 2 years and still in my closet not kidding! But also others like long dresses and Flare jeans, overalls, cardigans that have sold in days... really depends on the piece.
I agree with you. I love those brands. I got several everlane boxes from helspy and that stuff SOLD OUT. Have you tried ending the listings that aren't selling and editing them a bit and "sell similar"? You probably have but just asking bc that helps me a lot to move older stuff. xoxoxo quenby
talking about not being computer tech savvy, that is me so I would have sooooo many bloopers at the end of my videos! I want to have a TH-cam channel someday.
Just Do It Margaret! I am so glad I did because I now have a world of reselling friends! TH-cam is a long haul project, it can take years to get anywhere, so might as well get started. And just be yourself, bloopers and all. xo Quenby
Love Free People!! If you make sure your eyes are not in the pic, then the camera will focus on the tag. Of course, that means you can't see it, but trust that it's doing it's job. :)
Thanks Kim. I should have shown you the back, it has a huge embroidered tiger on it. What? ! I know, it's too much, but so fun. It is by blank nyc. xoxoxoxo Q
Ok so I watch ao many unboxings and this one was the first on that seems worth it!!! Thrifting at the bins my Cogs are $2 and under BUT I dont find alot of bolos... although my vintage finds sell faster and for more than the bolos that I have in my closet! Anyway, seriously considering trying Helpsly! Thanks! New Sub and fellow TH-camr 😊 ~jc
Welcome, so glad to have you! I have ordered the FP Helspy box a dozen times. Sometimes they have NWT boxes, and others it preowned. You just have to accept that with wholesale boxes you will get a few gems, and a few flawed items and it all works out in the end. FP is my best selling brand on Poshmark so I feel confident with these boxes for me, but def do what makes the most sense for you and your business. Thanks! Quenby
Yes. I was really into it about 5 years ago and it was fun to learn so I put one in my living room. These days I use it for stretching more than tricks.
I am a faithful fan of free people, umgee and soft surroundings. My favorite piece was the crushed velvet maxi skirt. Free people excites me. Great haul.
So I incurred quite a consequence for use of a very old stock. Photo of a Johnny was blouse. My listing capabilities were suspended for three days. This really does hurt business. I was not able to put any new inventory up.
Thanks for sharing this. Weird because I see people using JW stock photos all the time. Some brands on ebay's vero list will pull your stuff down. I have had it happen with Spanx and Chico's. That said, I use stock photos all the time and have only had a few listings ever pulled down, so that is what i meant. Low ratio That said, I am glad you shared this with us so we know what the consequences could be. Thank you!!!! xo Q
I have not tracked it in a long time. In the beginning I would keep detailed records of each sold item and how long it took to sell etc, but I have done it long enough that I trust I make money on these and I no longer track the specifics. I think that is a good idea in the beginning.
That tiered dress is such a popular style right now. All of those tiered flowy or wrap midi to maxi length dresses are doing so well for me right now. Oh and that smocking too. Nice.
Thanks Karen. HOpe you are doing well. I have everything photographed from this box and almost all of it listed, and it helps to have stuff I really want to list. xo Quenby
Another great and helpful video. I need to get one of these boxes as soon as I get caught up with my listings. Thanks for all the wonderful information and your great humor, you are such a blessing.
Oh My Gosh, thank you for this BEAUTIFUL comment. You are a blessing to me too. I would not make the videos if I had no friends to watch and leave me comments. xo Quenby
I think the problem when resellers say that they have trouble selling free people, like you said it really does come down to style. I know that Free People movement even NWT does not sell well typically. I would buy it at the bins only. However even older free people beach tunics and their thermals always sell. So It really is just the style, how substantial the item is, and how saturated it is. I almost always check comps for free people unless it is a very current style. Even then I’m very careful not to pay up to much for just anything. I think Free People has been holding its value much better than Anthropologie. They’ve done a lot more collabs and always find a way to stay current and relevant. However Anthropologie home items are still going strong for me. I still love to sell Anthropologie but I’m awfully picky about it these days.
I agree with your assessment of free people and Anthropologie. I do okay with free people movement though but it's not high dollar return on investment probably because it doesn't retail as high. Anthropologie dresses do well for me too. Thanks for your great comments!!!
@@TheGratefulQueen I have had more substantial pieces like full body onesies particularly the baggy ones nwt sell for over $100 for me. If it’s current and on the site still they do even better. I wish some of the smaller items did a bit better though because they are so comfortable. I mean the quality is amazing. I am obsessed with the free people movement bike shorts. Especially after having a baby. Everyone should have a pair.
The hot glue gun is a good idea. I actually can’t sew like at all but I learned to sew labels back on and it’s so easy. Labels and buttons basically. I wish I could work myself up to do a dress seam.
Hi Stephanie, I am going the bins on Thursday this week instead of Friday, incase you wan to meet there. I love everything in this box. I did find a few flaws on items but that is to be expected. I ordered the preowned anthropologie box too. xo Q
Hi Quenby-- Have you seen an increase in sales (especially Poshmark) since you've been listing 10 items a day? It's been dead for me lately, but I don't list as many items as you do. ~Kim
I def see an increase on ebay, but not poshmark because I am not listing 10 a day on there. Poshmark is an afterthought for me. I use vendoo to crosspost but I am not as committed. Maybe I should commit and see what happens, but one thing at a time right? I think the most important thing, in my humble opinion, is to list consistently. List 2 items every single day, rather than 10 one day, 2 the next, none one day etc.....xo Q
OMG the hot glue gun trick/tip saved me, thank you! Is there a trick to finding stock photos where the item isn’t the current season or year? Loved the bloopers too ❤️
I am so happy my glue gun tip helped you. I use it all the time. I find stock photos no matter what season or year it is. Some brands like FP have the OB number, if I don't have an actual style number, I just google all the keywords like "free people cream sweater wool snap neckline" and I usually can find it like that too, Work for every brand. . xo Quenby
We the free is my favorite line from them!!!
I think it's mine too. I also love "Free People New Romantics" but I rarely find it.
I love your white tshirt and pretty jean jacket, Quenby! ❤
Thank you so much. The white tee is free people and the jacket is Blank NYC, I should have shown you the back. The back has a huge tiger on it, ha hahahahah totally over the top but it's fun. xo Quenby
Lawrdeeeee…..😍😍😍😍 I will be stalking your Posh to snatch up some of these beauties!!🌟
Great! Everything from this free people box is listed.xo
I'm here for anything waffle knit!❤
I know, right? I love the waffle knit. xo Quenby
My fave piece is the black dress with the floral looking ❤bottom. Not that I could wear it, bring 77 years old!!

Thank you very much. I started putting the bloopers in about a year ago just to be more authentic and transparent. We all make bloopers right?
As usual, a great video that I enjoyed very much! 🙂

Hello Quenby..So glad to see you..Happy Summer!
So GREAT to see you again. How are you? Xo
@@TheGratefulQueen Great. I have been in Tucson all of May, seeing the grandbabies before they leave for Japan.
Nice video. Skinnies jeans will come back around, fashion always does.
Good point. I am going to hang on to my personal skinny jeans and wait for them to come around again.
You look fabulous Thank you for sharing
Thank you so much. An embroidered denim jacket always helps. xo Quenby
I use the keyword minimalist when something is neutral and I think it’s working.
Cool. I am going to try that keyword
Oh I hope I can find that thermal with the colored balloon sleeves, I will snatch that up! So excited for these to be listed!

Oh Good, we are thinking alike. That is a good sign! 🌻🌻🌻,Thanks!
Cool stuff. I’m one of those that can’t sell FR. I think I liked the white dress most. I tend to like white stuff though.

How long did it take for them to ship the box
They shipped it right away, but I live in California, so it took a bit for it to get here. Maybe 7 to 10 days? Are you needing inventory quickly?
@@TheGratefulQueen I was just asking because I know they had issues before. That was super fast shipping 😊
Question. Have you ever tracked how much you spend vs how much profit you make from these Helpsy boxes?
I have not tracked it in a long time. In the beginning I would keep detailed records of each sold item and how long it took to sell etc, but I have done it long enough that I trust I make money on these and I no longer track the specifics. I think that is a good idea in the beginning.
