If you can tell I’ve SOLD THOUSANDS. Lol I hope I didn’t come across as arrogant I’m just new to TH-cam and still not the best on camera. I repeated that over and over because of my nerves and inexperience
Where do you get the plastic bags at? I have had a hard time finding something that would work for remotes. Glasses as well, as I assume it's the same bag. Seen several other people ask, but no replies. Please do spill the beans.
Thank you for posting this. I noticed that my local charity shop wasn't putting out remotes. I asked them about it and they said they have been tossing them out. I've asked them to start a box in the back and they agreed! I'll probably pay $1 a piece for them, but they dig out three immediately and sold all three to me for a $1 just for asking. Awesome.
Thank you for all your hard work explaining the intricacies of the eBay ways! 🙏 the remote packing sequence, burrito-style, made me hungry at the very end 😂
THANK YOU! I have been learning from several youtubers about thrifting and you are IMMEDIATELY my #1! I wish you had videos like this for EVERYTHING I'm selling etc. I'e been cleaning out my parents basement (full of 5 family members things from over lifetime) & been finding all kinds of stuff to try to resell. Books, toys, cds, dvds, electronics, misc. and now REMOTES. & I want to try buying a few things to resell from a thrift store now too beyond what I already have. Including things I'm foreign to like tools. KEEP UP THE GOOD WORK!
I have a one of a kind way of testing remotes. I'm also a maker and made a IR to sound and light demo circuit for kids for my local makerfaire 8 years ago. I was able to easily use it to quickly press all the buttons and hear unique sounds for the unique codes. Makes me more confident that the remote really works and made a breeze of testing 160 remotes that I acquired recently for only $50.
I so appreciate finding a channel like yours. You are a wonderful, get to the point teacher. I am older and supplementing income. Will never sell thousands of remotes lol but certainly can improve my sourcing skills. Thank you!
I dont know if you mentioned it, I glossed over the video because I already do a lot of what you already said. But remotes to beds and recliners also go for really good money. I recently sold a bed remote for over $100. Sold within an hour of listing it. But the bottom line is, when you are at yard sales or thrift store, comping is your friend. You cannot go wrong with comping things out. Knowing how to quickly and correctly understand comps is the key IMO.
Been selling on eBay for 19 years, I have only sold handful of remotes, thanks for the information I will be looking out for remotes in the future...just subscribed to your channel...
Jride you gave tons of good information! The trick on checking the remotes with the phones was very awesome. I will be using that on remotes I find in my pallets. I saw how you store them that’s a very easy way to grab them once they sell. Awesome information keep it up!
Thank you so much for this breakdown of which ones to sell, how to clean them, and the best way to format the title. That was all super helpful information!
your info on title structure has really helped me. recently went and redid all of my titles and sold a hand full of things that had been sitting and i couldn't figure out why. thanks!
great info man! We get hundreds of remotes a week and been selling them in untested lots... not the best money, but picking out the good ones will help.
Jake, love this video. So helpful as always. Do you have a similar tutorial for cameras? I have a few to sell but have no clue how to clean them. If that's something you have already recorded, I will find it (watching all your content) but if you haven't recorded a tutorial on how to prep cameras for sale, I'm sure all your subs would love to see one!! Thanks again for all your help.
Thank you for the informative video. Definitely will be comping out remotes I find. Where do you get the sealable bags that you put the remotes and sunglasses into? Do they have a special name? Thank you!
I've sold a TON of remotes and I have bins and bins full of them I still need to clean, test and list. There used to be a Salvation Army store near me that had BINS FULL of them, and they were so happy to get rid of them they sold me entire bins full for $15 or something. Then that store closed, but I have enough to keep me busy for quite a while, and every once in a while I find more at Goodwill or yard sales and such. I find some are so disgustingly dirty like somebody spilled soda on them that then that got sticky and then other dirt stuck to that, making them so disgusting that I feel like I have to take them apart to thoroughly clean them. I would have taken apart the one you cleaned in your video. I have a couple questions though--what do you do with the ones that don't work? Do you do any e-recycling? How do you test RF remotes? I have a couple of those. Where do you get your bags? Thanks!
Great video! I have sold a few remotes but ended up with too many that were low value. This video was very helpful. Just one question. Since you didn't have the Harmony charging base, did you sell it as untested? Thanks!
Question, if a few buttons don’t light up, or only slightly light up, should I toss it, 8 buttons on the entire remote are like this. Thanks for the great information.
Nice guide to flipping remotes. I have already been doing so for a couple of years but don't usually pick them up anymore as I find the majority of them only sell for $8-12 free shipping. Out of curiosity why is one of your remotes listed for over 14k?
I sold a few remotes on eBay a couple of years ago. Didn't get any returns. I just cleaned around the buttons with a QTip and used isopropyl alcohol spray, in very small quantity. I didn't know which brands to buy, but I just knew Sony were popular. Thanks for the tips! Could you just test the remote in front of a mirror? I also wonder if a lot if thrift shops throw remotes straight in the bin if they are donated without the appliance?
Great info. Any tips for easy fix to try if remote doesn’t seem to work? I picked up some good pioneer and Harman Kardon remotes for $4.00 each. Tested them at home and none work!
Great video and thanks for showing how to test them - I have ended up with some duds and stopped looking for them. Do you carry some fresh "AA" batteries with you when sourcing so you can test them? Do you have an EBay store and utilize the free shipping supplies? I was wondering if one of their padded poly mailers would offer enough protection (or a different brand)?
You are a treasure!!! Thank you for the invaluable information. I was at a church rummage sale a couple of months ago and they had boxes and boxes of electronics and remotes 🫤. I wonder how much money I passed on 🤷♀️
i just wanna know if you wrapped that label around the narrow remote as is once you packed it like that and if USPS took it lol some locations do not like when you have "un orthodox" wrapping methods. Good job!
I love your information and tips on doing things. With shipping, would you recommend a newbie shipping with ebay to start and then checking out Pirateship? I have seen a couple of people that ship only through Pirateship. Why through Pirateship? Any possible way doing a video of setting up Pirateship and how it works? Thank you for your videos.
@@JrideFlips That’s not what the result is. The profits end up getting competed away until nobody can make a living. You’re helping the buyers get cheaper remotes. Let’s have the debate/discussion. I’ll come on your show. :)
I use pirate ship every time because it allows me to use a credit card that has 3x points for shipping. The wife and I are going to Hawaii for free next month.
with the camera trick, I found that sometimes some buttons flicker light, and others don't on the same remote. Does that mean it's not really working? I found two Sony RM-DX700 in a lot from ebay, but one of them is like that, not sure if I need to say that, or is that supposed to happen?
How do you compete with the counterfeit remotes from china on eBay? There are so many unbranded and new remotes that are clearly identical to the manufacture, eBay is ok with it. I can understand selling aftermarket programable but knocking off of the exact design and model.
I saw a remote for sony at GW today for 0.99 and left it there :( Should have picked it up but it was only 1. I next best secret in selling a ton off is power supplies for laptops. For desktops the power cord is standard on them all but laptops could be big biz.
I have a few remotes that have buttons that don't function. So you just sell them and not write in the description that some of the buttons don't work?

@@StealthySandwich i get mine on Amazon and pay between 7 and 14 cents for each mailer. I buy them in packs of 100 or 300.

Beds remote are amazing, fan remotes are decent as well
Excellent video, I asked on another video about remotes then I saw the q&a on 12-7-23 on facebook someone asked and I am here now.

Actually I see someone who is passionate and truly excited about what they do.
Nice! Thanks Jride! Can’t wait to see you in the wild when you move up here!
That was an incredible video!!!🎉 I’m so excited to get out there and start sourcing remote controls! Wasn’t on my radar until now, thank you!!❤
Another awesome viideo, Jake! Please keep them coming. I like your straight-forward, but friendly approach in your videos - you're a natural!

I’ve sold thousands now. If it doesn’t have a screen like the harmonys or something sell them as used working. My failure rate is about 1 in 2000
Thank you 🙏 I can find things other resellers miss 💪
Slick trick with the cellphone!! Thank you

Can you give us some advice on how to find what model control we have if not marked on the control itself? Thanks again. New subscriber here!

I was wondering how many you’ve sold…lol…this was VERY helpful. Thanks again
Lol one of my first videos I repeated myself.. ALOT lol
Thanks for the info. Never thought of these. I’ll be looking now.
Where do you get your bags for remotes and what size?

Do you test radio or RF remotes? If so, how? I've seen some DIY projects for testing but retail equipment seems too expensive to justify the purchase.

Do you ever pick up fan remotes? They can have some crazy value too!
Yeah I planned on adding that as a bonus tip but I forgot lol
@@JrideFlips bro you sell exactly what I like to sell, subbed and looking forward to more vids
Great video. New sub, enjoy them. Do you use Pirate Ship a lot? I use sometimes. Since you are a numbers guy, is it more cost effective? Thx

@@JrideFlips Smart man. Thank you.

do you use only pirate ship for your shipping service? i've always used ebay but it seems cheaper
If I ever found myself stranded with someone on a remote island, I’d hope it was with you.
Hi Jride: Did you ship them with the batteries or no batteries? Maybe an obvious question. Just wondering what you do as a practice. Thanks, Lorrayne
No batteries

Haven’t yet. Will do!
On average how many thrift stores do you have to got to to find enough remotes for your business, thanks in advance
I thrift and yard sale 30 hours a week
Do you push any button?
Do you or know a good video on testing and reselling digital cameras
I am trying to find a universal charger to purchase on Ebay to charge multiple items. Can you suggest one to purchase?
Thanks!
Hey thank you so much!
Where do you get them from, none of my goodwill ever have any good ones

It's underrated selling area
Assume you do not include batteries with the remote? Just test it?
What type of roller printer is that? Looks handy!
its the wired rollo Printer x1038
Is there a sunglasses version of this?
Love.
What size ziploc bags do you use
I have a few remotes that have buttons that don't function. So you just sell them and not write in the description that some of the buttons don't work?
what’s the point of printing through pirate ship?
How do you know if they work?
What size "Ziplock" bags do you use?
Do you sell with batteries or without?
Without
You rock!
I don’t see your eBay store in your bio. Can we get the name of your store?

7:55 I show how to here
