@@cincinnatipicker I'm trying to better our lives for my family, I have a wife and a six year old boy. We haven't even been on a vacation together or anything in 12 years with my wife and six years with my son. I have the drive, will, perseverance, and intellect to do something big. If you read this, please let me know if we can email each other or Skype or something. I really would like you to talk with me, show me some of the ropes, I too was a victim of invoicing, I sold a guitar for like $350 and got a $33.00 charge a month later. I never did it again. I don't expect you to respond, I don't ever count on that, but if you happen to see this, PLEASE help me. I will not take it for granted.
Only eBaying since the end of March. So when the deal you were about to do was getting close I told my wife your estimate would be around $500 to $600 and you would offer $200 to $230. Thanks to you, garage sales, part-time pickers, and lot of Josh who gave me a free education My wife and me grow more confident in our abilities to do well. By the way, we are both 75 years young. I now have 135 items listed and have sold $2182.64 in the last 60 days. What a fun way to supplement our retirement income. Luv you guys!
I totally agree. I don't want to see the fees. Love how Amazon does it. When you donate a percentage of sales it's even worse. EBay pulls that separately a couple months later. A total shocker for newbies.
@@Joeboy007wJackg39 I've seen that on my desktop version. It is a little area where it says how much you owe. I'm pretty sure I saw a pay it now option. But of course I never clicked on it! So I don't know if there is an option to pay half.
Seems like a fair deal. Very nice of you to take everything off his hands. When you treat people right it can create good long lasting relationships. I'll bet he'll be calling you again. Best wishes! -Steven
Watching your videos make me smile because you are so nice to the people selling and you don't give them a hard time. I really wish I could be like you when I grow up!
Wait, what! Are you like 7 years old mate? The word literally repeats the fist 3 letters twice and ends with nati. Not that hard. I mean you spell it how you say it...
Really enjoyed the video. Like the fact you are straight forward on what you could possibly make and then tell what you think it's worth without screwing someone over. Some people don't realize you may have to sit on items for a period of time too before they sell which ties up cash flow and takes up space. Am contemplating starting to sell all my son's things from when he was little on EBay because it would be nice to clear out my back room and use it lol. I have every toy, games, etc that he ever had and since he's 35 now with no children it's probably time to let it go.
These videos take me back to when my grandpa used to take me to sales to pick antiques with him, my finds were never as good as his but damn was it fun and I learned a lot
A fair offer that makes the seller happy is just the best way to go. I've bought literally tons of stuff after other pickers lowballl the seller. I do what you do by being honest and telling them that I'm a reseller. Many of times it opens the doors for them to then show me better stuff that they were afraid to put out due to expecting nothing but lowball offers. This approch has led me to many a housecalls that benefit me and the seller greatly. Integrity in this business is a must. Your reputation is everything and used properly can open many doors. I'm six years post bone marrow transplant for leukemia and I'm not going to waste any time being a douche bag. Happy picking to you Cincinnati Picker! All is good😎😎😎
I absolutely love these videos! I've watched a ton and only found you a week or so ago. I'm hoping to have a garage sale of my own... nobody in my family really likes them! Doing it for you!
I have at least a hundred small GI Joe figures, multiple vehicles, several big GI Joes and several vehicles, from 80s and early 90s. Also have lots of ninja turtle stuff and figures from early 80s, along with all the movies on VHS. I guess I didn’t realize they were worth anything yet. I even have a GI Joe bed tent. These were my sons, but he doesn’t want them, so I just stuck them in my attic with some other toy collections from both my sons. Trolls of all sizes, creepy crawler ovens and lots of those molds to make them, pellet and BB guns, games, cars, trucks, pogs and pog makers, extra pog sets, etc. Who knew? Obviously, not me!
I have 3 sources who call me. These 3 men are PRICELESS!! One guy hits dozens of garage sales all weekend (so, I don't have to), then sells those items to me on Monday or Tuesday of each week. Kind of guy who buys an item for $1.00 - sells it to me for $1.50 - then I sell for much more than that. Everyone is happy in the end!!
This guy was awesome! He had stuff in boxes, clean, sorted and still in very good condition. Some of those things are old and still good and I am sure you can get some good money for them. When I moved and downsized, I sold my stuff in pretty much great condition. Happy to see other people out there keep their stuff well kept too. I think you could have offered him a little more. Not everyone is as organized and has stuff in good condition as him.
John I love how you always try to be fair to the sellers and still make a good profit. Live and let live. I think that's always a good motto. This video is also a great reminder how important it is to let the people know that you're a reseller and searching/ buying stuff. These are the kind of opportunities that bring in a lot of inventory and help the money to flow and the business to grow. Thanks for sharing :)
Love your videos man! Keep up the great work. Being a picker myself, it’s nice to see your strategies and the fact that you don’t lowball people is refreshing to see in the community.
I watched this video in my car and hand to GOD I noticed a wasp outside my windshield at about the 11.47 mark of this video and then 11:53 happened. I about made a poo in my pants... Lol
"I think it's worth $500-600, would you take $200?....... um no. He should've asked for individual prices to sell instead of as a big lot. He would've made way more money or piecing it out. The Oakleys alone are like $100 used and that's a very good price.
I never buy anything without the seller giving me a starting point. I think you did good though, because the work that goes into listing, selling fees, shipping supplies, and shipping fees, is exactly why most people would rather not deal with it, once they see how much work goes into it.
that guy was actually really nice. considering he knew the values that was associated with the items that he was selling. saying that he was saying the Oakleys were $200 at its peak. he just wanted to get rid of his items, and I respect that.
Thank you for telling how eBay bills at the end of the month! I am thinking of doing reselling here in Maine, and I really appreciate the help you give us!
Film SLRs are good sellers. More so the mechanical older ones from 80s and older. The 35mm SLRs that are electronic and more modern are not as desired. I've had good luck with the older SLR lenses too.
That was a good score! I love vintage toys. It's fun matching up figures with accessories...at least for me anyways. At the end they bring in more $$ that way. Great video!
200 is a nice deal, lots of the stuff I sell, especially here in San Jose i find alot of hockey equipment, beer league hockey is huge here, always finding gear at a great price
I sometimes offer to buy the entire lot and, if after selling the items, we make over a certain amount, say $600, any additional profit after expenses, the original seller would get a percentage. The percentage would depend on how easily the remaining items sold and the work involved in selling said items.
Norththehusky there’s gotta be profit to be made time it takes to sell and all the stuff you need maybe even get some things professionally cleaned some things might not work and be useless
@@bradleywalton970 these guys overshoot everything to make themselves look better mate and so they dont feel as bad about the purchase, maybe theyll find a few suckers here and there but im sure these guys are overshooting everything and saying whatever number comes out of their ass
You can set the Ebay fees to be paid weekly, automatically, so that there is no big lump at the end of the month. $200 is a good price for that pile of stuff :)
I sell a lot of decals on Etsy and they have a great way of doing fees. They take them out as you go and they keep the money for you. You do not have to pay a PayPal fee for each transaction, instead they transfer it once a month to your bank account. It's much better!
I agree about the fees being the biggest bottleneck. Ive been having my own struggles with it the past couple months. The worst is a surprising huge month followed by a terrible month. Im thinking about paying the 10% every time i sell something since im terrible at setting it aside lol. Or a store but im still in that beginning middle ground where im almost ready to pay up for a store but not yet. I also live about 15-20 minutes from you i think? Im near milford/eastgate. Liked the video. Thanks for all the good info!
200 Dollars. It's fine? WTF. You couldn't believe it either! Verry great deal. He could have sold the camera alone for 200 if he would have listet it himself.
Thanks for another video John! 👍 Whenever you show Ryan your ebay, you should make a video out of it. I would love to hear your work flow from start to finish.
1st mistake was dude having all this stuff and no price . Never tell that buyer what ever they think lol 200 . So after the oakleys it’s all profit !! Nice grab buddy
This guy is totally cool, I would buy him a beer for sure
Ryan is a cool cat. Glad that I met him.

That is awesome Terry!! I am almost at one year as very part time and at $1480 and top rated seller, keep listing Terry !!!
I wish eBay would just automatically take the fee when an item sells. Instead of letting it build up for a month.
Try paying half in the middle of your cycle. Seems to work better for me. That way you dont get crushed at the end
I totally agree. I don't want to see the fees. Love how Amazon does it.

I'm headed to la on Monday if your interested in selling some stuff, I could stop by. Thank you
I’m in LA
I started watching u today and I’m loving your vids
Pewdie Pie welcome to the channel
What makes this deal truly fair to me is adding the offer to mentor him with ebay.
Total agree. He gave all that stuff away technically got 200.00 and a mentoring program plus exposure! 👌👌
"I think it's worth $500-600, would you take $200?....... um no. He should've asked for individual prices to sell instead of as a big lot. He would've made way more money or piecing it out. The Oakleys alone are like $100 used and that's a very good price.
Letting go of stuff because you need the money compared to just wanting to get rid of it is a big difference and he knew that
Ebay is honestly awful in many ways, but where else are you going to sell mass amounts of random stuff? FB/CL can only do so much.
nathan hensn eBay used to be good until they started charging w fees
What !!! Wait!!!
200 for all. You are trying to be fair.
You robbed this guy blind!!!!!
Anyone else agree?
You and Lonnie are my favorite ones to watch

I am glad you don't low ball. Many resellers are lowlifes who low ball. You're definitely a class act.
Very cool very cool
Hey what type of zippo was that rainbow one next to the camel tin?
Also did you get 2 pairs or ray bans as well?
200 for everything works a lot better for both of you than 75-100 for only the good stuff. You still get decent ROI % even if it moves slowly
Great video John!
The borrowers is the best movie ever.
Is it possible for everything you buy you price check it on Amazon and show us the profit you could make? It would be really helpful!
Great job that was so fair.
