As a dad who worked a full time coding job from home for 28 years and raised three kids mostly by myself while doing really small scale ebay on the side my congratulations to you for your success doing this as a full time mom of 2 soon to be three (LOL it gets crazy with three LOL). All the best. New subscriber today.
Great video, I made a mistake on wholesale when I started because I went where it was widely available. But I love the thrill of the hunt so yard sales and Thrifts, ect are still my favorite ❤
I usually get free stuff from my friends to sell. So my profit is 100%. I accept a lot of offers because my inventory is more than what I can handle now. Love your videos
Been watching several of you videos over the last few days. I was really touched by your humility, transparency and grateful heart you display! I’ll never skip ads on you videos, you deserve the success ☺️
You've made everything so simple to grasp, including inventory. I really appreciate your help! I just realized today that as soon as the time is right, this is the last boss/"job" I'll ever have. No more bus driving for this guy! And as a single Dad I'll be able to educate my own child way more with my own values, instead of her insane public school indoctrination values! Yay! Thank you!!!
I Have resale license. Makes a huge difference. Easy to get. Haven’t found a way to buy bulk but am hitting all the thrift and yard sales I can. It’s 100 miles to goodwlll so have to plan ahead. Q3 is ramping up. Really looking forward to Q4. Stay safe and healthy. Blessings
Another fantastic video. I sell it all but my favorites are shoes, plush, vintage kids clothes and of course the handmade stuff I sell in my Etsy store because those are almost as much fun to make as it is to source for my Ebay store.
My husband and I are retired and loving to source from thrift stores which are all congregated on my end of town. Goodwill just joined us over here. Our area is also a yard/estate sale mecca! Thanks for sharing your ideas. They always help!
Thank you sooo much for this playlist! My husband and I have been given the opportunity to sell a friend's HUGE inventory of hardware and home goods. He's a millionaire who keeps buying out stores closing down and his horde has accumulated into several perfectly good houses and connexes stored full to the brim of stuff. I've never done anything like this before, so I plan on starting simple at first and selling on eBay while getting a handle on his beast of a collection of inventory. I would like to also branch out to Amazon, but like I said, will be learning on the way.
Great video 👍🏻 Getting so excited for your new little one. You look absolutely beautiful. I’m 7 weeks postpartum AND have a 4 year old and my business has really been feeling it. Kudos to you for rocking it! 👏🏻
I was electronics, games and new DVDs for years. My friend introduced me to a lady who sells pallets and she has issues getting rid of book pallets. Most of the pallets have 100s of college text on them.. I grab them up and make a killing everyone month. People forget about books and I’m ok with friend
Loved this! I am just starting out but going for my favorite things - fashion, accessories, shoes, cosmetics, art work, and (on etsy) refinished furniture because I do love me a good paint brush and a sander!
I’ve been binging your videos all day … I used to love selling on eBay and just recently decided to get back into it. Your videos are so helpful and practical! One question I have that I wasn’t able to find is How do you get the “thrift store smell” out of clothes without washing them?
What do you do when your inventory is free, how do you put it on a spreadsheet to keep track of your profit? And when calculating COG, do you add the shipping material also?
Great video! Also all depends on the availability in the area you live in. I live in OH. All of these resellers are bragging over Lululemon and Eileen Fisher, I could never find a single piece! Must be midwestern thing... What's available to me the most is the bread and butter items. So I have to learn how to list fast to make money with $20 items.
Exactly. I'm to the point where I know WHAT to pick up....it just doesn't seem to be in my area. Location is key. Like you I find I have to settle for mediocre/middle of the road items because the high end stuff is just not available.
@@lisasode8989 I also learn you CAN make money with brands like Banana Republic. I actually sold a few Banana Republic dress pants these past few weeks. A lot of people must be going back to work these days. :) If you do plan to sell bread and butter items, make sure you pick it up at the bins or garage sale (don't pay more than a couple bucks), and it needs to be unique. Blazers, dresses, sell really well. For dress pants, make sure you pick wool.
I used to do wholesale orders to pad my thrifting hauls so I could list enough. It just became a race to the bottom on retail items, and many times orders would get canceled so I would have nothing to list when I was expecting it. Now I thrift only, and it is still a struggle to find enough to list lately. Like not enough people are donating items right now. So, I have to learn more and do more research. :) I mainly sell electronics and toys.
Ohh restless legs are the WORST. I'm sorry! I suffer from those too, especially during pregnancy and right after. Have you tried magnesium calm powder? It helped me. I'll be in your shoes soon! 😅❤️
Another great video, I'm loving wholesale and liquidation as I found that to be more profitable in a shorter time span but I also love thrifting and going to yard sales still. I sell anything I find unless its topical, consumable, or collectibles
Very informative. Thank you. Quick question. When you go to thrift stores can you use your resale certificate #? Or just use it for new items at other stores? Thanks again.
So I’m curious I filed my taxes as a sole proprietor last year. In order to obtain a tax exempt certificate do I first need a business license? And how do you go about obtaining a certificaye
You have to register with the state you are in. Ask your accountant for advice. You might have to file sales tax returns monthly or quarterly. Every state has different laws.
Question, I'm *possibly getting started in selling on eBay, do you update your eBook for bolo items, or is it outdated at this point? And I love your voice, so easy to listen to. Prayers for you and baby :-)
How do we go about getting a resale certificate, how much does it cost, and where can you use the certificate and where can you not? I have so many questions. Lol!
If you google your state and "resale license" or "sales tax certificate" you should be taken to a .gov website that will give you instructions on how to apply! For my state, it was super simple. :)
great video with lots of info. do you need to have an LLC for a resale certificate or can you be a sole proprietar? Thanks for any info. you have. Have a Happy NEW YEAR.
I have read that the clothing in the bins have all kinds of bugs and spiders crawling in them. Imagine a houseful of very unhealthy people living in filth who get evicted and leave all their crap for the landlord to clean up. Be very careful.
Hello Ashley how has your youtube channel or your social media platform helped you with networking? Meaning since people know what you do, are you often referred by others to contact this person in wholesale/bulk buying?
That actually hasn't been a factor at all - though I wish it somehow helped! On the contrary, I often get people "offering" me wholesale because of my channel but it's a sneaky way to try to get me to promote something that isn't a good product, or just a way to try to take advantage of me because they assume I wouldn't know any better. 😂 I've turned down all of them.
TH-cam has been a four year journey for me - where the first two years I barely made anything. I wouldn't really call it "luck" to be honest - but I am lucky that I didn't give up and it has worked out okay. :)
Just an F.Y.I , the plastic wrap you have listed in you description below is not correct for electronics. Electronics need to be wrapped in static resistant wrap. Electronics are very sensitive and can be destroyed using the regular stuff. Just wanted to help someone out in the future. Love your vids. Keep up the great work 💪.
Not everyone has success like you. I'm struggling big-time right now trying to get sales going again like they were before. The struggle is REAL and so is the discouragement.
Great video, I made a mistake on wholesale when I started because I went where it was widely available. But I love the thrill of the hunt so yard sales and Thrifts, ect are still my favorite

Hi Ashley, as usual a wealth of information in a non stop video. Appreciate your sharing your knowledge and experience 👍Take care❤️🥰
Thank you!! 🥰

8 weeks pp. Have a 2 year old... I list like 1 item every 2 days haha... I feel ya lol
Wow! Congrats on your new baby! 🥰
@@HustleatHomeMom thank you!
@@InDirectDiana Same! I took a ton of pictures and once a day, I just list 1 or 2 things
Looking great Ashley! And thank you for taking the time to share so much amazing information!
Your videos are so motivating! Thank you for making them for us!

Whoa! Amazing!! 💯
Definitely thrift stores and estate sales. I find so many good things!
Loving the video. Love all your videos. I don't sell, just buy! I enjoy you because of your ethics and family values. Best wishes with the new baby.

One question I have that I wasn’t able to find is How do you get the “thrift store smell” out of clothes without washing them?
we have a local thrift store chain that have bin stores too
Thank you Ashley for great info to really help a beginner like me
What do you do when your inventory is free, how do you put it on a spreadsheet to keep track of your profit? And when calculating COG, do you add the shipping material also?
Absolutely great info! Thanks for sharing, Ashley!
Haha I was thinking that today..you should enjoy what your selling. Great tips!
Definitely! It's much harder to list when I hate what I'm listing lol
Great video! Also all depends on the availability in the area you live in. I live in OH. All of these resellers are bragging over Lululemon and Eileen Fisher, I could never find a single piece!

I have definitely noticed I tend to look for stuff I like great video one of my go to channels
Thank you for being ever inspiring! wish you tons of success and a peaceful and painless delivery. 😁
Thank you so much!
Thank you so much for your Videos with out them I did not know how to list a item to sell on ebay. Happy for your new Baby. Stay Safe.

Up late again watching your videos bc of my 4th trimester restless leg. #goodtimesNOT ha! Thanks for the info! Always love you videos!

I seen your garage sale video, I'm inspired..I'm getting a Gucci hat somehow, in black preferred.😉😀
Yesss! Hahaha! It's good luck 🤣
Thanks for your input!
Great advice!😃
You look great Ashley. Thanks for sharing.
So I’m curious I filed my taxes as a sole proprietor last year. In order to obtain a tax exempt certificate do I first need a business license? And how do you go about obtaining a certificaye
You have to register with the state you are in. Ask your accountant for advice. You might have to file sales tax returns monthly or quarterly. Every state has different laws.
Thanks for another great and helpful video!
Where do you look up prices for your items??
Saving up im starting from scratch and having to reinvest the money back in i have 30k in inventory
Do you think resellers should start out with a certain niche ? Thankyou for an amazing video
Showing my support! Thank you Ashley!! 💙👍💥💥
Hope you are feeling well - looking forward to you new arrival!
Where do I find pallets that I can trust?
Question, I'm *possibly getting started in selling on eBay, do you update your eBook for bolo items, or is it outdated at this point? And I love your voice, so easy to listen to. Prayers for you and baby :-)
It is updated but I should go back and make sure it's been recently revised! I do think the brands I mention still apply. 🥰
@@HustleatHomeMom Might you be releasing your spreadsheet soon? I'm struggling to track numbers. My head is SPINNING. 🙏
We appreciate you 🙏
Great video! Can you explain resell permit and taxes?
Hi Ashley I love you bin system .Is it like one big shelf or is it something different ?Thank you I'm advance for replying
It's actually 3 shelves together! Link to them is in my description :)
How do we go about getting a resale certificate, how much does it cost, and where can you use the certificate and where can you not? I have so many questions. Lol!
If you google your state and "resale license" or "sales tax certificate" you should be taken to a .gov website that will give you instructions on how to apply! For my state, it was super simple. :)
Just found your channel and I’m really liking your content. I’d really like to know how you track your inventory. Thanks!!
Is it good if I buy top seller company? they already have the system dialed in, and they sell hundreds of thousands a year...?
great video with lots of info. do you need to have an LLC for a resale certificate or can you be a sole proprietar? Thanks for any info. you have. Have a Happy NEW YEAR.
I have read that the clothing in the bins have all kinds of bugs and spiders crawling in them. Imagine a houseful of very unhealthy people living in filth who get evicted and leave all their crap for the landlord to clean up. Be very careful.
I’m having a hard time pricing for hardware like ceramics and wine glasses
The Crazy Lamp Lady and The Nurse Flipper have channels that could really help with that!
@@Aligray98 Thanks 😊
Solid advice Ashley!
Awesome video here really i thought about the truth about this one
You look fantastic! Thanks for all your insight
Thank you!

I resell so when I have family ill become stay in home mom that very important to me
Thumbs up 👍
Big like 👍
What about Amazon returns?
Please sell your book again!!!
Hey Ashley, you're still looking beautiful! How do I go about getting a reseller's certificate to become tax exempt? Thanks!
That would be your state resale certificate. Contact you comptroller office.
“Sorry if I’ve been kinda vague”…. Aka; sorry but I’m not going to actually give up my gold mine locations online.
You forgot to mention that you're earning money making TH-cam videos. Most people aren't that lucky.
TH-cam has been a four year journey for me - where the first two years I barely made anything. I wouldn't really call it "luck" to be honest - but I am lucky that I didn't give up and it has worked out okay. :)
You deserve every dollar with your knowledge and presentation.
Just an F.Y.I , the plastic wrap you have listed in you description below is not correct for electronics. Electronics need to be wrapped in static resistant wrap.

Not everyone has success like you. I'm struggling big-time right now trying to get sales going again like they were before. The struggle is REAL and so is the discouragement.
I'm sorry - it really is hard sometimes and I don't blame you for being frustrated. I get there too myself. 🙏🏻 Hang in there!
Drop your eBay link, I’ll buy something
I just want to know were i can find an awesome woman like you
You look like you do not feel well. Sending positive vibes yours and baby in the ovens way! ✌💜😀
Thank you!
@@HustleatHomeMom And I was going to say you look even more beautiful than usual (which seems impossible)!!! Perception is an interesting creature. 🤗✨
Great video, I made a mistake on wholesale when I started because I went where it was widely available. But I love the thrill of the hunt so yard sales and Thrifts, ect are still my favorite
