I do this all the time . I get rid of junk for low resale but my store consistantly sells 4 to 5 items every day not making alot but did 4000 in 90 days problem is my selling cost are at 55 percent but still earning about 1100 amonth followimg these sugggestions. Waiting to return to work as a sheriff deputy and struggling to pay my bills for personal reasons but consistantly listing everyday and selling rhe good items i can find along with the other things and dropping prices and making offers everyday is keeping me alive . I get it it works and when i get in a better place i will source better but for now this is working . What you are telling them really does work . Good video
Our secret is our Inventory draft bank. One should put into savings a minimum of 10% of their daily listings. We store up 20% ourselves Example: If we post 20 live listings we also created 2 for our draft bank , or say we create 277 live listings than we would either create another 28 for our draft bank or list 250 live and put the other 27 in our DB. Also we maintain a minimum 500 drafts in our DB at any given time this allows us a few days of grace should we ever need it.
I do appreciate your help and I've learned a ton since you've been helping me. It has certainly taught me the power of consistency. I'm on a roll and will continue. Thanks bro.
Been selling full time on eBay for 25 plus years and I will tell what this man is telling is very accurate. Our goal is 90 days or less for every item we sell. Yes new listings daily out going shipping daily.
i love tough love. 90s kid who treasures ANSWERS, and real-talk. im gonna play this vid again! im thinking i gotta do lots to get these old dbz cards moved. gonna brainstorm with this on repeat
Thanks for the advice. I realized that the things I like are not always something that sells. I am actually going thru my store now, taking the stale items adjusting the prices to get moving. A few I just took to goodwill. Figured I would get a receipt and use the donation to lower my taxes. Let goodwill sit on it. Lol
Agree completely. I have seen a ton of items (sports memorabilia/cards) that have been sitting in someone's store for five or six YEARS. I've bid what I consider reasonable, and get turned down. Obviously, no one else is meeting their price, so perhaps they need to do a re-think. A smart dealer would have taken a smaller profit on the items and put the money into something else. There could have been twenty turnovers of that profit by now.
sometimes i take a week off from posting as other work picks up. i don't really feel any effects in my sales. but i consistently get 500 plus listings up a month on the low side. so maybe it balances
I’ve been selling on EBay since the 80s. Fact……you must list every day! I also sell on a few other platforms and I list every single day! Side note….I also work a full time job…..just have to be consistent! Thanks for your videos…I enjoy them!
Interesting since eBay didn't start till 95 and in late 97 when I first started they were still struggling to get traction because no one trusted the internet or putting their credit card online. It really wasn't until 2000 when it took off.
You mean my faded glory jeans aren't desirable? Why aren't they flying off the shelf?!!!! The only way selling long lead items works is if you have tremendous space and you get things dirt cheap to let them sit for potentially *years* and you accumulate enough that sales become consistent.
Wow, that is awesome. Now I know why they call you rockstar. Tell it like it is like brother. they say treat your business like a business not a hobby. hobbies cost you money they don’t make you money. 😊Some people cannot handle the truth. If You can’t deal with the heat, get out the kitchen.lol
glad you are safe. you are so right. what do you suggest we do with the inventory? can't just trash it! and I am out of funds for new inventory.... HELP!
Send some that rain to Tennessee Casey! 🥵 I agree, you have to list. Funny how this hits home. Igot in a rut a while back and finally got busy today and listed about 5 Netgear Nighthawk routers, I feel I always sell my items too cheap, well I know I do but after a while I just wanna get them gone. These routers some run $200+ and the ones I sell are literally almost new but I list them at starting prices around $10-$20 and Buy It Now prices of around $25-40 (depending on model). Casey can you do a video and talk about pricing in depth??? 🙏🏻 Please.
If you have quality products stop selling so cheap. If you’re making your established profit margin reducing your price alittle, great. It’s a win-win for you and the buyer. You’re in business to make money, right? Don’t give it away at garage sale prices. What you are doing is losing your unnecessary gains and driving the market down hurting other buyers in the process. Don’t make it a race to the bottom price because it only hurts all sellers in the long run. Peace and blessings.
@@Major_Pita1 thank you, that's solid advice. I know I find myself thinking, "Why am I giving these really amazing products away? Why am I making pocket change off things I know are worth a lot of money? Why?" I just get so tired of seeing items sit on eBay for weeks and no offers because other sellers list the same item for less so I absolutely understand when you say it hurts the market and especially other sellers... I certainly want no part in hurting other sellers, we make ebay possible! Seriously my heart goes out to good honest sellers because there are so many scammers on eBay and other platforms that people new to eBay that are honest and good end up leaving after getting scammed which in turn simply dilutes the platform with more scammers than good sellers. Ugh... Anyways sorry for the rant, you 100% right I need to just buckle down on my prices rather than give in and accept a low bid, perhaps I need to be more patient. If you have anymore advice or suggestions it be greatly appreciated. Thanks 😊
@@Major_Pita1 Well I had a lengthy reply but seems it didn't post but I thank you so much. I understand completely because I see other people listing the same items I've listed but for cheaper and so I see exactly how it can hurt other sellers and I certainly want no part in that. Your also right I need to stop accepting low bids or listing low and buckle down and have patience. Thank you for your solid advice and support, please if you have anymore advice or suggestions feel free to drop them here. Blessings to you as well 😇.
@@repairstudio4940 - Always remember that it's a balancing act between getting the most money per item and getting the most items sold. The sweet spot, where you make the most money, is generally somewhere in the middle, where you are not giving away your items, but are also not holding out too long to try to squeeze out every last penny out of each item.
@@Major_Pita1 unfortunately eBay is to blame do to having to promote all listings AND run sales in order to sell anything. Gone are the days of actually getting full market price for items.
Constant activity. I have, on occasion, gone 6 days straight without listing, and maintained very good sales. I did do other tasks during that period, like markdowns, promotions, sell similar, send offers, ship, answer questions, etc. Consistently listing good items is still the gold standard.
This week I was way more consistent then usual, listed 10 a day for a couple days and made almost 10 sales in two days, and I don’t even have 100 items in my store yet. Then I missed a couple days and only been getting 1 or 0 sales a day, so it’s really the algorithm? Gonna aim for 7 listings a day since I get burned out
@@RockstarFlipper believe me we all needed to hear that. That's why I've already started getting rid of alot of inventory. I was thinking it but you definitely said it.
Good advice. I think this is the problem with my store..I list anything and everything and I know alot of it have low sell thru rates but most will sell eventually, just trying to build up my listings but sooner or later this slow selling stuff is just taking up limited space. I am listing more daily consistently and have seen a slight increase in sales so far.
I think the hardest part for a lot of eBay sellers is being disciplined in not buying low sale through or low value items just for the sake of having something to list
Even on vacation mode for a week, I got some sales. Would it be smart to schedule items during the week or just have them all flood when I'm back home? Thanks
My question is how do you stay completely consistent and enjoy the benefits of having flexibility and the money to enjoy things. I went on vacation for a week. Put store on time away. My sales bottomed out. It took 3 weeks of back to listing every day to get my sales up. Still not quite what they were begore vacation. Do you just never go on vacation? How can you truly list every single day and never get to go anywhere or do anything?
I sell vintage. Tech is not my strength. I have sold 6 older Apple computers over the past year but shipping them was a total bi***. I actually love the research, learning and applied knowledge for selling vintage. So. Yea. Small ouch on those out there who view of us folks who sell vintage. My sub niche is homemade items & art. I enjoy that too.
I'm one of those people who would do a listing flurry, then ramp up to another listing flurry a few days later, so thank you for bringing the "list 4 or 5 items a day, every day" to my attention, to make the algorithm work in my favor. I do have a question about that. I've put a bunch of listings together, and I'm planning to meter them out at 5 per day as you instructed...however, does the time of day matter? If I drop 5 listings at 1130pm on a Monday, do I need to wait a full 24 hours after that (1130pm on the following Tuesday), or is it only the actual date that matters? So, could I drop 5 at 400pm on one day, and then 5 more at 830am on the next day (and get the algorithm to work)? I appreciate your help! I've been selling since '99, mostly recreationally until about 5 or 6 years ago, so your advice on the more technical aspects of selling on eBay are VERY valuable! Scott

I agree with the consistency but it's not healthy to work 7 days a week. Long-term It can lead to burnout. We have to take care of our mental health too.
What would you recommend for getting better inventory from thrift stores? I do great in spring/summer/fall but as soon as I have to return to the local or even. Thrift stores hours away the quality of inventory goes waaay down and that is winter. Starting in January and all the way till May. I feel like I have a reasonable grasp on what is good inventory as I've been doing it for 5 years. Even the estate sales are super hard around here. The main thing is that goodwill which dominate our area has priced certain things like dvds, books, cds, games, etc at this flat 2.99 and it makes it tough. Additionally we have 14 clothing flippers who dominate each store and won't hesitate to hit hard goods too. Sorry I know this sounds whiny and I don't mean for it to but it's just been my issue for a while and why I'm stuck making sure 2.5k gross in winter and 10.5k in summer per. Month. Thanks in advance!
Question I bought a pallet and listed everything but now I have nothing more to list I've even listed stuff from my house I'm just running out of stuff to list and it's hard for me to get another palette at this point what should I do
Network, find the items that sold best on the pallet and look for them on facebook marketplace, on ebay for cheap to make offers on, search Ebay for "Lots of" tons of ways to source
Go to estate sales. That’s where you will find some of your best deals. Typically where I live the first day is full price, second day is 1/2 price and third day is fill a bag for $20-$25. If there is no fill a bag day be super aggressive with low offers on the last day
List everything all year-long. It's 90° out, but I have family that took a cruise to Alaska 2 weeks ago and they needed sweaters. Those same sweaters are needed in Australia, which has opposite seasons as we do.
I buy most of my items from goodwill. I buy certain items for $8.99 and sell them constantly for $40 to $45. Other items for $7.19 and they sell constantly for $30 and up. I guess it depends on your goodwill and how they price their items.
You have to be better at spotting value than other resellers and people pricing for the thrift store. This is a very competitive business. Goodwill does suck but I can always find items to resell because I am a lot better at than they are, which mostly comes down to experience. Also try small thrift stores staffed by volunteers.
@@larrycoonrod5563 no I agree but at the end of the day thrift stores aren't the best place to get consistent quality inventory for your time spent. I'm not trying to be a prick but it's not really debatable with people who have been reselling for over a decade anymore.
So what am I supposed to do if I don't want to be some slave that has to list stuff to get sales on stuff I already listed? This tactic is basically extortion from eBay. I have a full time job I have no time to list a lot and often
@@PabloDiabloTreasures if you can’t treat eBay as a full time job you’ll almost never get full time results unless you suck it it up. Work double time. Grow eBay big and then quit the job and focus on eBay
@RockstarFlipper I like my job and it pays really well so I can't quit it, but with over 1700 items on eBay I should be getting more sales. In fact in prior years I had fewer items and was having more sales
@@PabloDiabloTreasures prior years yes…things changed. Harder to sell. Tougher economy. Gotta list daily. Run sales. Promote. Edit items daily. End items and relist daily. Lots of activity of some sort. Even listing 5 per day is good
Jocelyn doesn't just buy from Goodwill, and she has a marketing degree. She has marketed herself for years. She buys a lot more than from just Goodwill. She's put the time and work to be where she is today.
i have lived in that area my entire life. it sucks now. a few years ago you did not even have to look. good luck finding high sell through items to make a living. the game is over unless you have deep pockets
My biggest issue is consistently finding good things to sell. I'm looking for ways to find inventory that doesn't require me to do a lot of walking to source the items. Stupid knee problems! Any suggestions? If I know I need to take a day off per week, I need to still have items go live every day. Does the time of day matter, same time every day, or do they just need to go live each day?
This is not accurate in my experience, I List a pallet usually every Sunday. Sometimes into Monday, and just ship the rest of the days off the week, 200k + a year
Thanks, but most of these big resellers which we watch everyday on TH-cam put alot of their time into making videos, consulting, coaching, writing guides/books etc. i.e. they make money talking about ebay, not necessarily from selling on ebay.
@@GG-wh4ug those aren’t the people I’m speaking of. You realize there’s hundreds of thousands of sellers on eBay making $1m plus in sales per year and none are on TH-cam.
@@RockstarFlipper but the average person is not privy to the profits these sellers are making, just by looking at their store. The only comparisons we can make are from what other sellers tell us or claim, which mostly happens via TH-cam or insta. But I do agree with you, consistency and good products are key 100%.
@@GG-wh4ug just filter for solds on their store and you can get a rough idea what they are grossing. You would surprised how little many TH-camrs with a large following are selling. Looking at you Hairy Tornado.
@RockstarFlipper Not for everyone...some of us are part time sellers, some side hustle sellers, some offloading years of accumulated family junk sellers....dont assume your way is every way.
@@BusyBeeCompany #1 show me where I said that….ill wait. #2- no matter what kind of seller you are you should be maximizing your profits. And treating it like a business. Period
Some don't true. Some lie true... but there are many sellers who make actual legit money ($100k+) who make videos. Why? Because its just that much more money. Why wouldnt we want to get a youtube check, or affiliates or sponsors etc. Multiple streams of income. Could i live off my ebay, wholesale, reselling? Yup 100% I COULD... but having youtube and sponsors gives me the ability to live the life i live with the house, in this neighborhood, with these cars etc. Thats about the only honest answer I can give you from a successful point of view. If someones not selling and lying on youtube they are trying to fake it till they make it and get the youtube money. Theres a few for sure

Our secret is our Inventory draft bank. One should put into savings a minimum of 10% of their daily listings.
We store up 20% ourselves

Sorry I know this sounds whiny and I don't mean for it to but it's just been my issue for a while and why I'm stuck making sure 2.5k gross in winter and 10.5k in summer per. Month. Thanks in advance!
💯 You get out of reselling what you put into reselling
I even have drafts for vacation
Same!!
Do you think 2 to 3 sales a day in a store with 400 items is ok? I need to do better! I do agree consistency is key! I want to sign up!
@@tinatinabobenasales5053 it’s not bad. That would be 60/70/80 in a month. 4 per day is 1% which is great
@@RockstarFlipper I can do better! I want to!
I sell 1-2 items a week on ebay with free shipping.
If you need help selling more please let me know, rockstarflipper@gmail.com
Re-donating slow items for the tax help. Anything tin,metal or aluminum, scrap yard.
Appreciate the video
Question I bought a pallet and listed everything but now I have nothing more to list I've even listed stuff from my house I'm just running out of stuff to list and it's hard for me to get another palette at this point what should I do
Network, find the items that sold best on the pallet and look for them on facebook marketplace, on ebay for cheap to make offers on, search Ebay for "Lots of" tons of ways to source
Go to estate sales. That’s where you will find some of your best deals. Typically where I live the first day is full price, second day is 1/2 price and third day is fill a bag for $20-$25. If there is no fill a bag day be super aggressive with low offers on the last day
Guess I gotta list 10, 000 comics
Scheduled listings don’t help?
@@teedawg2386 a long as listings get made live it doesn’t matter how
Is there things that sell better in different seasons?
@@SLEEP8313 all year. Every year. Everything sells. It’s winter in other places
I hear ya
List everything all year-long. It's 90° out, but I have family that took a cruise to Alaska 2 weeks ago and they needed sweaters. Those same sweaters are needed in Australia, which has opposite seasons as we do.
Goodwill parking lots are packed. If you get the bulk of your items from Goodwill you aren't going to make very much money.
Same here in FL
I buy most of my items from goodwill. I buy certain items for $8.99 and sell them constantly for $40 to $45. Other items for $7.19 and they sell constantly for $30 and up. I guess it depends on your goodwill and how they price their items.
@@vickymessmann4851 yes in Florida it’s trash mostly in GW with high prices. But even with good locals there isn’t enough items to go around to build
You have to be better at spotting value than other resellers and people pricing for the thrift store. This is a very competitive business. Goodwill does suck but I can always find items to resell because I am a lot better at than they are, which mostly comes down to experience. Also try small thrift stores staffed by volunteers.
@@larrycoonrod5563 no I agree but at the end of the day thrift stores aren't the best place to get consistent quality inventory for your time spent. I'm not trying to be a prick but it's not really debatable with people who have been reselling for over a decade anymore.
So what am I supposed to do if I don't want to be some slave that has to list stuff to get sales on stuff I already listed? This tactic is basically extortion from eBay. I have a full time job I have no time to list a lot and often
@@PabloDiabloTreasures if you can’t treat eBay as a full time job you’ll almost never get full time results unless you suck it it up. Work double time. Grow eBay big and then quit the job and focus on eBay
EBay only knows you are an active seller if you list pretty much everyday.
@@lisab3307 Yerp
@RockstarFlipper I like my job and it pays really well so I can't quit it, but with over 1700 items on eBay I should be getting more sales. In fact in prior years I had fewer items and was having more sales
@@PabloDiabloTreasures prior years yes…things changed. Harder to sell. Tougher economy. Gotta list daily. Run sales. Promote. Edit items daily. End items and relist daily. Lots of activity of some sort. Even listing 5 per day is good
I have 400 items listed I sell 2 or 3 a day
Not terrible
Problem is people watch TH-camrs like the Crazy Lamp Lady picking up crap from Goodwill and think this looks easy.
Jocelyn doesn't just buy from Goodwill, and she has a marketing degree. She has marketed herself for years. She buys a lot more than from just Goodwill. She's put the time and work to be where she is today.
I am in Saint Petersburg Florida and I been to a few thrift shops and I never can find good thrift shops. Do you know of any near by?
@@ChrisMalinak check all the Salvation Army locations and goodwill outlet near Gandy
i have lived in that area my entire life. it sucks now. a few years ago you did not even have to look. good luck finding high sell through items to make a living. the game is over unless you have deep pockets
My biggest issue is consistently finding good things to sell. I'm looking for ways to find inventory that doesn't require me to do a lot of walking to source the items. Stupid knee problems! Any suggestions?
If I know I need to take a day off per week, I need to still have items go live every day. Does the time of day matter, same time every day, or do they just need to go live each day?
Do online arbitrage. Order from other stores and resell to help cut know on the unnecessary sourcing. Peace and blessings.

@@Major_Pita1 Thanks! I'll look into it.
I have my items go live at 6pm Pacific 9 Eastern. It’s the time of day people are most active on Ebay
This is not accurate in my experience, I List a pallet usually every Sunday. Sometimes into Monday, and just ship the rest of the days off the week, 200k + a year
There are always exceptions.. this is a MAJORITY statement
Anyone else feel like they just got grounded?
Eight hours a day work it like a job
eBay is not passive income. If you want to make a full time living doing it, you have to put in full time hours. There is no way around that.
Bingo
Thanks, but most of these big resellers which we watch everyday on TH-cam put alot of their time into making videos, consulting, coaching, writing guides/books etc. i.e. they make money talking about ebay, not necessarily from selling on ebay.
@@GG-wh4ug those aren’t the people I’m speaking of. You realize there’s hundreds of thousands of sellers on eBay making $1m plus in sales per year and none are on TH-cam.
@@RockstarFlipper but the average person is not privy to the profits these sellers are making, just by looking at their store. The only comparisons we can make are from what other sellers tell us or claim, which mostly happens via TH-cam or insta. But I do agree with you, consistency and good products are key 100%.
@@GG-wh4ug just filter for solds on their store and you can get a rough idea what they are grossing. You would surprised how little many TH-camrs with a large following are selling. Looking at you Hairy Tornado.
Who the hell is listing wagon wheels
Looks/sounds like you need to clean your gutters.
@@ArLaMe these houses don’t have gutters. 😉
they work like hell and have no life
You hire help
only if your margins are good enough.
@@BusyBeeCompany that’s the point of selling.
@RockstarFlipper Not for everyone...some of us are part time sellers, some side hustle sellers, some offloading years of accumulated family junk sellers....dont assume your way is every way.
@@BusyBeeCompany #1 show me where I said that….ill wait. #2- no matter what kind of seller you are you should be maximizing your profits. And treating it like a business. Period
most dont why the f is tech n sports and all these other guys including you putting out videos daily? give me a answer with some validity
Some don't true. Some lie true... but there are many sellers who make actual legit money ($100k+) who make videos. Why? Because its just that much more money. Why wouldnt we want to get a youtube check, or affiliates or sponsors etc. Multiple streams of income.
Could i live off my ebay, wholesale, reselling? Yup 100% I COULD... but having youtube and sponsors gives me the ability to live the life i live with the house, in this neighborhood, with these cars etc.
Thats about the only honest answer I can give you from a successful point of view.
If someones not selling and lying on youtube they are trying to fake it till they make it and get the youtube money. Theres a few for sure
You don't live in Tampa. Stop saying that. You're 30 mins away or so. You're in Wesley Chapel. 2 different counties. You're right down the road from Pasco County's dump.
I needed this pep talk! Thank you! I have 1.8K items. More than 1K is junk 😢. PLEASE post your email address again , I need to sign up for help!
