      so you have to pay 90 bucks to watch videos. do you have to buy the products from amazon then test them and record it? I like to know what I am getting into before purchasing.

    Your videos show the real side of reselling and it’s so appreciated. Thank you for the great deals.

    Here's a thing about Whatnot -- you don't have to start your bidding wars at $1. Specially if you're just starting off on Whatnot. Maybe start them off at a break-even point or a little higher. Once you have a good following built (stay consistent), the $1 dollar starts would make more sense. Anyhow, thanks Jamie and Sarah for always keeping it real! Love you guys!

    You folks aren't idiots. You live and learn right? I appreciate that these videos show the up and downs, the risks and the rewards. My hat is off to you both.

    I watched what not for 2 years before I ever bought anything. And now that I have here is what I know. You do not have to start auctions at a dollar. People will obviously buy it for a dollar if you do because everyone loves a deal. But they will bid on good stuff if you start it for more. 2nd being near Grand Rapids Mi. If you went to Mitch and were like hey this is the kind of pallet we are looking for. Can you help us out. You know he would and I am betting he could help you find some awesome things for Waaaaay Cheaper! I know you brought him so much business and he would be more than happy to. You are why I started going there! And thank you for that!

    I wondered how whatnot would go for you all. I like to resell too and I used to watch shows a lot and get so many clothes for so cheap. I always thought that those people selling had to be making next to nothing, but anyways, I've had my fair share of failed reselling experiments, but you never know till you try! Thanks for y'all's honesty! I wish you all the very best!

    If they items are not already in bags for inventory purposes, I wouldn't bother with the polybags at all, just tissue paper over the top and a thank you sticker on it. Whatnot sounds great, but most of those pallets are selling already at the Whatnot price or above, as you found out. But if anyone can make this work, it's you two. Keep looking!

    Jamie & Sarah I really like you. As a buyer of your whatnot show I really think the problem y’all had with the clothes is y’all weren’t comfortable selling clothes. Jamie especially when it came to the let’s said intimate pieces. If you’re not comfortable in what you’re selling it shows & that will show up in your sales. Sarah I found when you were selling you came off as more knowledgeable & comfortable. I believe you said in another video or on Whatnot that you weren’t comfortable. It didn’t show if that was the case. I’ll keep watching whatever y’all sell, if for no other reason than to see how yall grow. As someone who used to be in sales being confident in what your selling is 99% of the sale. You’ll know within the next 3 to 6 months if this is for you. Best of luck. Can’t wait to see what y’all come up with next.

    I purchased a large bundle of men’s clothing sold in Macys for $400, just right before Covid hit. Unfortunately I had many dress shirts, office attire at a time when no one was going into the office . I did make a profit of a few thousand dollars but it took a good 2-3 years. I still had inventory left and finally donated it all. I was tired of looking at it. I also will never sell men’s clothes again. Men aren’t shoppers like women when it comes to clothes

    you should have sold it on ebay or poshmark and it may take slower but you would have got a faster and more productive return and not lose money so that is kind of not a loss at all. The choice to sell so cheap was your choice...just saying..

    Are you required to use Priority Mail, & not USPS Ground Advantage?

    • @JAMIEANDSARAH
      @JAMIEANDSARAH  7 หลายเดือนก่อน +1

      You can do ground, I think it automatically does it when the package is under 1lb or over 5lbs.

    You two dont seem that heartbroken over your loss of the pallet. You make good income. Did u make this video as an example of what it looks like as reseller to lose money on sourcing at times? I can understand that but u just look too happy to lose that much. Not trying to be rude at all. I love watching your channel. May you have much success

    • @SharpLife4

      It’s content. Yes that’s why they made it. They show the pros and cons of buying wholesale and selling it. You don’t always win

      @@SharpLife4 yes i know that is the risk you take when buying wholesale or by truck load. i been reselling for 14 years. I am not blind to the business at all :)

    Hi, I live in a small town in Montana and looking to buy and sell return pallets. We would be interested in purchasing truckloads. Where can we start this process? Thank you!
