    I’ve been reselling and watching YT reselling videos everyday for almost three years and I would be insanely hard pressed to not say that this is the best reselling video I’ve ever watched. This is pro level eBay hat reselling advice and a deep dive into vintage hats that most would never have seen. I’m speechless. And I really appreciate you taking the time to make this video. I’ll probably make hundreds off of it over the next several years or more

    Wow, this is such a good video! I mean, the information is excellent and super helpful, I'm taking notes! But beyond that this is really well done, presented in a super clear, organized manner, you have examples for everything and you leave the pictures of the examples up on screen for long enough that we can see them---that's something that drives me nuts, when TH-camrs put some really important info up on screen, whether it's a photo or text, and they leave it up for like a tenth of a second!--and your pacing is great, too! Thank you so much!

    As a woman that knows nothing about hats, I have passed up hat lots that I knew had to be valuable, but I didn't know enough about valuing hats to take the chance. This is thr most comprehensive explanation of hat reselling basics I have seen on TH-cam. Thank you very much for the information. I can forsee your channel growing fast. Bravo

    Thank you so much for such an informative video! I don't know much about hats but my son and nephew decided to nix their stash so I thought, might as well see how much they are going for on eBay...that's when my eyes started to cross.... lol. This has helped tremendously!!! I live part time in a camper (work stuff) and wanted to change from my usual eBay listings to something a little more portable. This might just be it!!! side note......Reckon you could do a video on how to tell if a hat indeed is vintage? I have a new era 9twenty and cannot find another like it anywhere on the web. It does have the holographic strip in it so it is authentic. I just can't figure how to find out the age before I list. It's Just a thought........

    • @EarlyBirdPicker
      @EarlyBirdPicker  2 หลายเดือนก่อน

      Thanks so much for watching, I’m very appreciative! You’re right, maybe I should do a follow up video.
      As far as the hat you asked about, without seeing it, my gut says it’s not vintage because of the holographic strip. I don’t think they did those 20 years or older ago. But you never know I guess 🤷🏻‍♂️
      Thanks again!

    Great info! Question about the plastic “zipper-style” back part of the hat, is that desirable/undesireable? I have a vintage corduroy Budweiser hat with the rope and two mudflap girls with that type of back. It was made in Thailand though, by Otto Cap. I can’t find any like it and am clueless how to list it! Any advice? Thanks from Alaska 😎

    • @EarlyBirdPicker
      @EarlyBirdPicker  2 ปีที่แล้ว

      Thanks so much for the support! Most hats are identified vintage based on look and style. What is usually a giveaway is if the hat is made in the USA.

    I have a 1990's Sports Specialties hat that has what I can only describe as having a raised outline of a basketball player on the side of the hat. The Team (Charlotte Hornets) logo is on the front of the hat and the raised / embossed outline is on the side of the hat and is the same color and material as the main body of the hat (white) - what is that called?
