@@allym8232 Hey! Yes recently I filmed a work with me for a day vlog where I briefly went over my inventory area and systems. Now I just need to edit it so I can upload it. But it should be out soon! Happy you're enjoying the videos so far! ♥️🥰
I personally haven't found a pair of shoes that doesn't have the size either inside or on the bottom of the sole. But I have seen some people measure the shoes in order to give an estimate of the size. I'm sure you could even Google the measurements of the bottom of the shoe and what that would equate to in a US shoe size.❤️
Such a sweet, informative, positive video. I love your excitement toward great finds, I'm the same way. I was feeling a little defeated about reselling after dealing with an dishonest buyer and watching a few videos how reselling is going down hill 😑! Then I stumbled upon yours today. What a light! Thank you so much for the positivity towards reselling.
Thank you!! I love finding treasures!! 🎉 I have seen some negative videos about reselling going downhill lately but I do notice that negativity gets more views so I think that could be an additional motive for those topics. I'm only one person but from my personal experience of reselling for 6 years is that it only continues to go up hill. There are definitely highs and lows, but that goes for any job or business you just have to ride it out and shift when needed. If I were you I would definitely keep on going! Reselling has brought me so much joy and I hope it does for you too!!♥️🥰
@@ThriftandThriveMarita you are blessed love and your such a sweet person. I can tell the first time I saw your video. Keep up the good work I’m getting my stuff ready to film and maybe I can send you my first video which I just know will be cringe worthy lol.🙋🏻♀️🤗
Thank you! I definitely feel very fortunate to have the thrift stores that I do. It definitely wasn't always this way. I used to live in a rural area and so I would have to drive two and a half hours each way to go to any sort of decent thrift store. I hope that you find amazing treasures next time that you go out. Thank you for watching! 🥰♥️
Love your videos! So entertaining, informative, and fun! Your videos are so easy to watch I lose track of time and am surprised and sad when the end comes!
I have found so many good finds lately, thanks to your videos! You’re the best! I feel like the other TH-camrs are great, but they all share the same brands, you’ve taught me so many new brands.
WOW am I learning all kinds of new brands!! I found my first pair of Judy Blue jeans today in a size 18, cheetah print and I almost squeeled out loud when I saw the tag and size... You are such a joy to watch!!!
I always love love love watching your videos! So informative and to the point. Can you show us your inventory someday? Thanks and great haul as always!
Thank you! So happy you're enjoying them! I recorded a day in the life/my work day video where I show and briefly go over my inventory. I need to edit it and post it! ♥️
Recently found your channel and am already benefiting. Never heard of Judy Blue jeans until you. Just found a pair and it sold for $30 within one day. Thank you for sharing your knowledge. Looking forward to bingeing all your videos. 😃
Hi! I just recently found your videos & am so glad I did! I look forward to watching them, they are always so informative & quick to the point. You're doing an awesome job! ❤ I've been reselling part time for about 10 months now & love it! I do work full time so any spare time goes to my reselling. How did you start off? Did you work full time & then made enough to quit? My dream is to be successful enough to do this full time one day 😊
Yay! I'm so happy you're enjoying them! That means a lot to me!♥️ So I used to be a barista and loved it! Then my husband and I found out that we were having twins and we already had a kiddo and I didn't know how I was going to pay for babysitting/daycare for 3 so I found reselling online. I really dove into it and within 1 years I was making as much as I was at my job+tips and setting all that money aside for an emergency fund so I could quit. Then a little bit after that I started making more and was able to quit. My husband was also able to take off his last year of work while finishing college and just my reselling alone was able to cover all of our bills, expenses and then also set money aside for a down payment on a house. I hope you can make it a full time job!! ♥️🥰 Wishing you only the best of luck! 🤞
I appreciate how you always wear cute clothes and look put together. I don’t get why some resellers dress so sloppy when they have access to such beautiful clothes.
Another great video! I sometime see Garnet Hill, but have never picked it up. I'll have to take a closer look at the next ones I find and see if they are worth picking up!
Thank you! I personally have good luck with Garnet Hill especially if it's a good material and/or a larger size. If you do find some I hope it works out for you too! ♥️🥰
Great video as always! Kodiak is a BOLO, at least in my books. It sells fairly quickly and for a decent profit. They sell clothes as well (workwear jackets and boots with felts sell amazing)!
😮I swear your area is the best 🎉🎉🎉 especially for sweaters , jackets, and dresses !! What a gold mine!! 🎉🎉but do you ever leave the stores empty handed or just with a couple items ?
Thank you! Before I moved I lived in a very rural area where I had to drive 2 1/2 hours one way to go to a decent thrift store so I definitely appreciate my local stores now! I typically find a good amount of items when I shop for a couple hours, but I've definitely had some dry trips too. 🥰♥️
@@ThriftandThriveMarita wow I hear ya , way too far to thrift !! Do you have buy sell trade stores near you ? I love going to them to unload inventory that is not selling fast . So nice to have cash on the spot ;)
That adidas with Collab MP,,Actually stands for our pinoy pride boxer Mr.Manny Paqiuao,im a filipina from Philippines btw and a new subscriber here also im learning so much about branded items u got in your country,thanku❤❤❤
When you say how much you plan on getting for an item- Do you list higher and so there is room for offers? Or do you list at the price you are discussing in the video. Thank you.
When you are looking up the value of items what site are you checking on ? I love watching your videos and I am trying to learn from you . Thank you so much for your great info and videos.
Hey! Great question. I look everything up on eBay whenever I'm checking comps on an item. So happy that you're enjoying the videos so far and that you're taking value from them. If you ever have any questions, feel free to leave me a comment. I'm always happy to help as best I can!❤️🥰
Hey! Thank you! So as of lately I've been really consistent about checking comps and sell-through rate on the items and I'm picking up. So for the most part they're selling pretty well. As far as duds that I've gotten in the past, which was a lot! I actually don't do anything with them except maybe run some sales on them. Recently I've sold quite a few items that I picked up 1.5-2 years ago. Some items just take a little more time than others.
I have been learning alot from your videos. You say your bread & butter are J. Jill and soft surroundings. These brands sit a long time for me. Any suggestions?
Hey! Happy you're enjoying them! Some of their pieces will sit for me too. What I do is I try and only pick up their blazers, jackets, high quality material items and larger sizes. Those seem to move quickly for me.❤️
Hey! So I honestly don't do any cleaning on shoes other than maybe wipe them with a wet wipe. I try and pick up shoes in good condition and if they are flawed or have any items that could be considered an imperfect I just provide photos. I'm pretty lazy when it comes to cleaning shoes. 🤦♀️♥️
Hey! So I go Mondays right around when they open because that's when I drop my kiddos off at school. Then I typically stay there for around 3 hours per store. I like to go to the stores that are more so in the city and then I also like to go to the ones that are in higher income neighborhoods. ♥️
Thank you! Happy you're enjoying them! I haven't really looked into doing Whatnot yet. The idea of doing live shows kinda makes me nervous. Haha. Have you done one?
Hi! Love you and your channel! Love to learn new search terms. I’m new at this. I try to find almost new shoes like you. How do you brighten the white strip round the bottom? I have the black and brown stuff. What do you do if anything to the soles? Thanks! Lynn from Lafayette Louisiana.
Hey Lynn! So I use a magic eraser for the white rubber bottoms of the shoes. As for the soles I don't do much other than a quick wipe down. Thank you for watching! Hope you're having a great Monday so far! ❤️
@@ThriftandThriveMarita yes. Great. On your channel as usual !! I love you. FYI. Peter Millar. Pronounce Millar at the end like large not miller. Figured you would like to know that!!
Thanks for the video! I think I’ve binge watched them all lol. My reselling question is what if something costs $5 in the thrift store but you are seeing it online for $25. Is under $20 worth it after all the fees, etc? Or do you aim for a higher profit margin? Thanks so much 💛
Hey! Yay! Happy you're enjoying them! So I personally would pick up an item for $5 if I knew it could flip for 20 to 25 but only if the sell through rate was at or over 100%. That way you'd be making that 10 to $15 profit back really quickly. ❤️🥰
Hey! Not sure if I'm understanding your question correctly. But I don't have a death pile. By the time my items are all posted it's time for me to go back to the store for more inventory. Since my cost of goods are a little higher, I try and make sure that I'm picking up items that have a good sell-through rate. That way I'm not holding on to them for a while and I'm able to get my investment back plus profit. Hope that answered the question. If not let me know. ♥️🥰
Thank you for another great video. My kid and I get sick. She has pneumonia. So I have a mom reselling question again. How do you deal with this situation when your kid is sick, and you get sick too? I list like 5 listings per week.😢 Any tips and tricks? Thank you in advance.
Hey! I'm so sorry to hear you guys are sick!! And pneumonia that's rough! 😥 So right now one of my twins is sick too. So they've been home with me the past couple days and I also have winter break coming up next week. So what I'm doing is I wake up at 5:30 in the morning so I can take my pictures , measure, package and inventory just the items that I'm listing that day. And that way the rest of the day I can just cuddle on the couch with my sick cutie and post my listings from my phone. But I'm not sick right now, so honestly if you're sick I would just try and sleep in as much as you can and relax. And then once you guys are feeling better, you can get back to the swing of work. You don't want to overdo it and then make it so that you stay sick longer!! ❤️❤️❤️
Hey, no I don't. I try to only pick up shoes that are in good condition. The most cleaning that I do for shoes is use a wet wipe. Haha I'm lazy when it comes to cleaning shoes. 🤦♀️♥️
Hey! So I personally do both. I go to a goodwill in the more expensive part of town and then I also go into the city. I think you can find amazing items in both. ♥️🥰
Question: at Goodwill do you only pick up pieces that are 50% off or do you pick up anything with a good flip price? Sometimes I am nervous I am overpaying at Goodwill because my store picks tags before I can get in, so i hardly ever find the color that is on sale. Thanks so much! I have learned so much from you and I am doing well in my online shops!
Hey! I pick up anything that I think I can flip for a good amount. Occasionally I'll get lucky and find a few half off items but that's typically only if I go on the day that they switch over the sale tag color. So happy you're taking value so far from the videos! Happy to hear that your store is doing well!! ♥️🥰
Hey! You type into the eBay search the item that you're specifically looking for and then you will see a number of how many active listings there are. Then on the right hand filter you click on the sold button and then it will provide you with a number of how many of that item has sold. If the number of active listings is the same as the sold number that's 100% sell through rate. If the number of sold listings is more than the active listings that's over 100% sell through rate. Hope that helps! ❤️🥰
Hey, I typically try not to pick up items that I think I'd need to wash but I do steam treat all of them which just means I use a steamer and that disinfects the item. ☺️
Hey! Yes, what I've noticed is that December slows down because people are more interested in buying new items for other people. They're not really looking to buy pre-owned clothes at the moment. But then after December people have their Christmas money and sales pick back up! Reselling is definitely a roller coaster! Congrats on your first year!! ❤️🎉🥰
I’ve never found FIGS. That’s a great find! Woo Hoo! I live out in the country in WA so finding a lot of good stuff takes time. Wondering how many days a week do you shop? And, how many listings do you try to do every day? Would be fun to see your work flow for the week!
I've only found it a few times before this time and never this many. I'm wondering if a hospital or clinic donated them because I know some places provide scrubs for their workers. I go shopping once a week sometimes I'll go two times if I don't find enough the first time. Right now I list 10 items every day on both eBay and Poshmark. I filmed a day in the life/work with me but I still need to edit it. A whole week's flow would be a good idea too! I'll have to work on making one ♥️

When you find shoes that don’t have a size number, how do you actually know which size these shoes are?
I personally haven't found a pair of shoes that doesn't have the size either inside or on the bottom of the sole. But I have seen some people measure the shoes in order to give an estimate of the size. I'm sure you could even Google the measurements of the bottom of the shoe and what that would equate to in a US shoe size.❤️

And that way the rest of the day I can just cuddle on the couch with my sick cutie and post my listings from my phone. But I'm not sick right now, so honestly if you're sick I would just try and sleep in as much as you can and relax. And then once you guys are feeling better, you can get back to the swing of work. You don't want to overdo it and then make it so that you stay sick longer!! ❤️❤️❤️
Where are you? Your thrift stores are very nice.
I'm in Washington. Do your Goodwills look different? ♥️
When you pick up leather boots or shoes, do you clean them up? If so how do you do it?
Hey, no I don't. I try to only pick up shoes that are in good condition. The most cleaning that I do for shoes is use a wet wipe. Haha I'm lazy when it comes to cleaning shoes. 🤦♀️♥️
How do you find out they have 100% sale through rate?
Did you shop Goodwill for your finds? Do you find better selections in the city or suburbs or does it make no differences?
Hey! So I personally do both. I go to a goodwill in the more expensive part of town and then I also go into the city. I think you can find amazing items in both. ♥️🥰
Question: at Goodwill do you only pick up pieces that are 50% off or do you pick up anything with a good flip price? Sometimes I am nervous I am overpaying at Goodwill because my store picks tags before I can get in, so i hardly ever find the color that is on sale. Thanks so much! I have learned so much from you and I am doing well in my online shops!
Hey! I pick up anything that I think I can flip for a good amount. Occasionally I'll get lucky and find a few half off items but that's typically only if I go on the day that they switch over the sale tag color. So happy you're taking value so far from the videos! Happy to hear that your store is doing well!! ♥️🥰
How do you look up a sale through rate?
Hey! You type into the eBay search the item that you're specifically looking for and then you will see a number of how many active listings there are. Then on the right hand filter you click on the sold button and then it will provide you with a number of how many of that item has sold. If the number of active listings is the same as the sold number that's 100% sell through rate. If the number of sold listings is more than the active listings that's over 100% sell through rate. Hope that helps! ❤️🥰
Hi! I want to try reselling too for a side hustle. do you wash the items before selling them?
Hey, I typically try not to pick up items that I think I'd need to wash but I do steam treat all of them which just means I use a steamer and that disinfects the item. ☺️
@@ThriftandThriveMaritaI do the same❤❤
♥️
I have had extremely slow sales this month. It's my 1st year reselling is this normal for December ?
Hey! Yes, what I've noticed is that December slows down because people are more interested in buying new items for other people. They're not really looking to buy pre-owned clothes at the moment. But then after December people have their Christmas money and sales pick back up! Reselling is definitely a roller coaster! Congrats on your first year!! ❤️🎉🥰
@@ThriftandThriveMarita I learned so much from you. Thank you greatly appreciated
I'm so happy you're getting value from the channel! Thank you for watching! 🥰❤️
Where is your Goodwill? Ours is not that great.
I'm from Washington. ❤️🌲
I've noticed that every State seems to find different brands.
Washington state or DC?😄
I’ve never found FIGS. That’s a great find! Woo Hoo! I live out in the country in WA so finding a lot of good stuff takes time.
Wondering how many days a week do you shop? And, how many listings do you try to do every day? Would be fun to see your work flow for the week!
I've only found it a few times before this time and never this many. I'm wondering if a hospital or clinic donated them because I know some places provide scrubs for their workers.
I go shopping once a week sometimes I'll go two times if I don't find enough the first time. Right now I list 10 items every day on both eBay and Poshmark.
I filmed a day in the life/work with me but I still need to edit it. A whole week's flow would be a good idea too! I'll have to work on making one ♥️
❤😂❤️👏
