    it seems a lot harder to go into a thrift store, with a mindset of only picking up “safe” items. a lot of thrift stores near me sell the obvious flips (phones, game consoles, designer) at 60-110% the ebay price. it’s easy to go in, see those and think that it’s not going to be feasible but I find when i slow down and check the comps any thrift store feels much more abundant. it kind of feels unreal the difference your own mindset makes while sourcing but i enjoy that you touch on that in the videos. Thank you Jride

    I started reselling my grandma’s jewelry on eBay for the first time in September this year and I’m happy that I’ve had sales with it! Been starting to try to branch out to other things besides jewelry, and I’ve sold some stuff locally on Facebook marketplace, and I want to begin to try electronics and stuff like that, that you say sells. My husband has a hoard of electronics, cords, all kinds of stuff like that, etc. and I’ll see if I can sell some! Selling electronics is new to me though, so it’ll be a little bit of a learning curve. At least I can go to my husband for help with testing stuff out to see if it works before reselling!

    At least five full time resellers in my area, small town that I just moved to of about 25,000. We run into each other everywhere. The nearest Target, Ross, etc are 45 miles away but there is a Walmart, Safeway and Ridley's here, as well as Sportsmans Warehouse. I prefer to sell clothing, but look up and pick up everything. Even in this little town, we are all finding good stuff. The yard sales are great as well, although that will give out shortly due to winter coming soon. I left a town of 450 six weeks ago to come here where I could be closer to sourcing possibilities. Winter tends to shut us down at times, but I don't believe that will slow us down because the donations pour into Goodwill, and the other two little thrift stores we have here.

    I just wanted to thank you for your pep talks. I recently went to an estate sale where I was searching for my usual repertoire items when I saw a big paper bag with FREE written across it. Low and behold, the bag was completely full of name brand sun glasses, glass frames, etc. (i'm talking Oakley, Ray Ban, etc). If it weren't for you, I would have waledk on by because frames are pretty much out of my wheelhouse. I figured I'd take a chance and have been stunned by the crazy numbers I'm finding for this stuff that they were giving away. Long story short, thank you very much.

    I agree that we can all find the goods. I do have to say though, that every person you say is killing it, also has a huge TH-cam following. I'm not struggling, but I don't have the reach that TH-camrs do. I'm actually okay with that, though. I'm making more than I ever did as a teacher. Now I'm retired and doing this full time. My town has 3 thrift stores that are okay, but I have found my best flips at yard sales and estate sales. I look up everything! Thanks for your frank and helpful tips.

      Yes. While this video does make some good points, survivorship bias is a real thing. Most of the items he demonstrates never appear in vast swaths of the country. And it's not that other resellers are just beating you to the item. Many of them were never distributed to the retail stores there in the first place.

    i did 500% increase in sales off promoted listings over the last week (week before was bad). yet the number of clicks to my listings stayed much the same.

Dropped prices by 20% to feed the ebay machine.. did mean I only broke even on one item sold but overall an amazing week and monday I got a new personal record for items posted.

    Hey Jride, just want to start off by saying thanks so much for putting this content out. It's nice to see a reseller than consistently shares EXACTLY what they're doing. So many resellers want to gate keep their items, which i understand but let's be real, the market has tons of room for growth. So thank you for that. I have started looking for some of the items you are selling and have already had many successes. Electronics especially have proven to be great, VCR's and DVD recorders, combos, etc. are great! so thanks for that tip!
    Question: I see you sell a lot of Bose speakers like in this video, how do you feel about similar SONY/Panasonic/JVC speakers, specifically the small cube surround sound ones.. I see a ton of them in my local thrift stores but wanted to get your thoughts in general on the market for those. Thanks!

    • @JrideFlips

    I've just started a few months ago and only have a little over 50 items and all I know is my sales practically stopped this month despite me adding more quality items. That's the issue people have, is simply that eBay is slowing way down ... As far as comparisons, I am slow at listing, and have two young daughters all day every day and no wife to list/organize everything for me and no TH-cam channel like you and all the people you mentioned to advertise... I am enjoying the process, but hope in being able to do this for a living is faltering due to reality of very little time, no help, and sales are just way worse than a couple months ago. People complain about it bc they want confirmation that they are not crazy and just doing wrong compared to the past. Well guys, if you're struggling, it's not just you, so don't feel bad. You undermine that others are working hard in this video and many of us are working harder than you imagine , so comes off a bit condescending my "demographic" , yeah.

      Cognitivestate, don’t get down. It seems your plate is full raising two daughters alone.You have my respect . I’ve been reselling by myself for about a year now and it’s been tough. Keep on listing, concentrate on keywords in your headline and take good pictures. I don’t worry about the description much, only to mention any problems with my item and to refer back to my photos showing the problem. I put FAST SHIPPING in every description. I price on the lower side and it seems to work. I also promote at 3% on everything. You’ll start seeing more sales when you get more listings.Dont give up and take good care of you and yours.

    Hey Jride, I watch you and a few others. I'm here in the DC Metro area. In Northern Virginia. Our thrift prices are through the roof. I've yet to find a TH-camr who does this full time in DC/NoVa. You mentioned Kevin the Commonwealth Picker is in Virginia. I looked him up. Looks like he does mostly garage/yard sales. That's the only way I've had success doing this for over a year now. I've traveled to rural parts of PA and thrift prices are much lower. It's unfortunate, but I think it is the uncomfortable truth that DC/NoVa is the hardest area to solely resell off of thrifting.
