I was asked recently if I was a reseller at a sale. I told the guy I was. He told me he also was and the sale was his death pile. I found some items to buy and he contacted me after the sale to buy his leftovers. It worked out! Best to be honest.
I would go 400 obo on the non fiction thing since it’s complete. Someone’s gonna take the opportunity to save 100-150 on it and you’re the only preowned one available it sounds like.
People usually ask what I'm looking for more so than if I'm a reseller. I do tell people I resell and it's never gone bad. I do ask them in return if they are too or if they are just trying to get rid of stuff or make money. Be kind and courteous and you'll usually get the same in return. That and don't need to low ball every single deal especially when it's already a really good deal. That's how I know when I do my garage sale how to spot a reseller lol.
I tell people who ask if I am a reseller that I collect. That has worked well for me. Some people don't take kindly to resellers. I just don't see the need to provide that information when asked. Avoid the hassle and drama. I do collect items at garage sales as well.
@@michaeltorrez223 Yep, the best lie I have ever told, though I do collect some items I pick up at garage sales.....soooo maybe it isn't a lie? I don't care either way. I don't feel obligated to provide any information to total strangers that I am purchasing garage sale items from.
You are so refreshing! I have taken your advice it's worked out! Honesty is the best policy! I am one of those people that is afraid to say I am a reseller! For now on I will definitely be more transparent especially since I am new to this
If people ask me if I resell I tell them I buy, sell, trade for a living. I don’t go out and just tell people what I do because a lot of people don’t like resellers. I know from experience. I think people with social media have better positive experiences than normal people. I don’t sell to other resellers right now because I don’t even make enough to stay afloat yet.
Same here. I tell them I buy, sell, trade and also collect. Obviously most of what I buy will be for resale but I do still like buying things for myself. My problem comes when I buy something for resale and then end up keeping it because it is too cool lol
I've gotten way more good deals saying I resell than people who disapprove. I'm a regular at a local estate sale company who knows I resell and they will grab me and point stuff out to me and give me good deals on bulk. Cash is cash.
Congrats on rolling up on it. I got lucky and found with some sleuth work. Went Thursday and Saturday (sales were sparse elsewhere Saturday so I went back) and crushed it both days. There were so many sales even in two days I couldn’t hit them all. Bartlett was a good one!
Nice finds i would go $399(open to offers) on the books about 25% off as new other and you'll be half price of the other listings. also went to neighbothood sales in the city so it's cool to see what happened in the suburbs.
I think it's more people I run into that at the sales (other shoppers) that i have seen react differently to you if you're a reseller. Most sellers are cool with it. Thanks for the episode.
Anything that you are not sure of how high the value could be, try auction with a high reserve price first get a idea of what people would be willing to bid on it. And with a satisfactory reserve you still get what you want
I realize my question was prompted from this video it was in one of yours...I’ve be watching a few videos a day for weeks now. Ha. When you purchase used computers in the past and they are working to resell, do you do anything to prep the computer...like a factory reset or something?
I have no problem telling people I'm a reseller.. I literally named my merch line IM A RESELLER lmao! your finds are always incredible. dope vid dude!!
You really scored on that 28 year old black leather jacket, especially if it was legitimate law enforcement attire. You didn’t say what it was worth (maybe in a future video) but for only $20, I think you should ask 10x that amount, $200. Good luck Ben & please let us know how it works out.
Hiya Ben. Still slowly selling off my ebay store. Also now recovering from triple heart bypass surgery had done recently. Be out of work next few months.
@ReadySetResell doctors are liking my progress. Still got go thru cardic rehab just make sure get strength n endurance improved. Uncertain if wait to go back to regular job as be lot of lifting n dusty n cold Temps coming soon
I was at a yard sale with my sister and sure enough there is a Shrek and Donkey for sale, and I asked the owner if he knew what the Donkeys name was since we know he is a Donkey, but he never ever said he had a name. So, the owner thought about it and said Eddie Murphy, and I laughed, but I'm guessing my sister never knew that Eddie Murphy played Donkey with his voice and my sister gets upset and says well that's racist. I tell her that Eddie played the voice, and she says oh sorry my bad.
Do you list the cameras as used or parts? Since you use film on those. I have over 30 cameras/video cameras that I need to list.. I just don’t want to buy chargers and batteries lol
I think it shouldnt matter if youre a reseller or not. If someone is selling something it should be a set price and they should know what its worth. If they agree to sell something for a price and someone buys it thats all there is to it.
I stopped letting people know I resell unless they ask point blank. It's awkward and I keep telling myself that if it's for sale and I pay what they ask, why do they care what happens to it afterwards anyway? Seems nosey and intrusive. The last time I let someone know after we negotiated, that I was a reseller and the vibe got super weird and she got mad at me, saying she would have charged me double. Reseller in my area is like a four letter word. I see the usual suspects every weekend and we all know and talk amongst ourselves as well as some estate sale companies, they invite us in. Other companies have raised the prices so high they ppl just dont even go unless its 1/2 price day. It's sort of a double edged sword. I keep in my lane and dont offer up what i do and it's working out better so far.
Why did you leave all those camera accessories? Those would have added value to the camera and I'm sure they would've gave them to you with the camera for free, hopefully there wasn't any lenses in there
Army veteran here. American flags are backwards on uniforms because it shows the flag is always moving forward, Stars and Stripes always going forward.
Nah I’ve noticed the opposite. People understand that you need to make a profit and are more flexible when negotiating with you to make a sale. Most people don’t care that you resell and understand that most shops / stores they shop at are all reselling to them. It’s normal.
I don't know if anybody has told you this yet but Harry Potter is witchcraft and the Bible tells us to strictly stay away it is sin it is not wise to profit off of other people's sin

I would do $300-$350 since u are the only pre-owned one thats a great deal. Another great Video
You're very polite and you're Fair. Because many resellers, are not classy like you.
I would go 400 obo on the non fiction thing since it’s complete. Someone’s gonna take the opportunity to save 100-150 on it and you’re the only preowned one available it sounds like.
I would do half of the book set so 250$ that’s fair and a great deal for someone
You've come such a long way with your pacing and editing. Keep crushing it!

Such hypocrisy .... a person holding a garage sale is a reseller
You are so refreshing! I have taken your advice it's worked out! Honesty is the best policy! I am one of those people that is afraid to say I am a reseller! For now on I will definitely be more transparent especially since I am new to this
one of the best resellers on youtube... by far surpassing those that are slipping with 12 different channels. Good work great content
I genuinely didn’t expect those utility knife’s to be that much, new bolo for me 🔥
Western shirt at that first sale looked really nice. Brown with floral embroidery. I have found some crazy valuable brands before.
Come on man THAT THE LEGENDARY JOE PESCI LOVE YOUR CONTENT HELLO FROM TEXAS
Always good to watch a new video
You are so adorable. The police jacket reminded you of home alone ❤😂 I’m hoping to start reselling when I retire ❤ . Great haul !
When I thrift I don’t tell people, some of my friends know. I am learning from the best, Ben and Karen!
First Lady knew her stuff
I think most garage salers know resellers because THEY are resellers. Even the thrift stores know.
All the Harry Potter stuff I've sourced sits for a long long long time. It's better to get it when the brand is HOT.
Gotta love freestylin I call em rogue garage sales!
Ben after every single sale - "Little did I know, this would be the best find of the day!"
Three pairs of docs in a single day hell yes
Bro, that was a clean transition on the comprehension set. 👍🏻

Go Ben✌️🌀🌀🌀You’re looking healthy and happy✌️✌️✌️❣️🫶🏼
RESPECT for Honesty. I would tell sellers I was recording? Common courtesy!
I would have let Shrek sit in the front seat with me for the rest of the day. 😂

I sold that superman album used for around $7. That was my personal one as a kid. Pretty cool you found a sealed one.
Awesome finds!!!

I sell tons of books and there are 2 local stores where the workers will put aside books for me because they know I resell.
How is there no wedding band on that finger
I hear from people it looks like you’re on a mission when I approach a yard sale. They go what are you looking for?
Schrade been around long time they have Uncle Henry & Old Timer Knives
bless you from mexico I love your videos
Hiya Ben. Still slowly selling off my ebay store. Also now recovering from triple heart bypass surgery had done recently. Be out of work next few months.
Dang man that’s rough. I hope you doing well since you have had the surgery and are having a smooth recovery process.
@ReadySetResell doctors are liking my progress. Still got go thru cardic rehab just make sure get strength n endurance improved. Uncertain if wait to go back to regular job as be lot of lifting n dusty n cold Temps coming soon
I would have kept that Accacia Strain tank for myself.
Hey Ben I know that you really like vintage clothing have you been to the bins before it’s worth it but time consuming if you do go could you film it?
I’ve been to a number of bins. They just aren’t my jam.
Are you a reseller ?! 😂 me: I’m like any other store front …. Yes I sell things 😊❤ and do what I love for as long as I can do it 🎉
What’s up with people not pricing their stuff?
If you do yard sales please please pull out your phone calculator 😂 super simple.

Do you list the cameras as used or parts? Since you use film on those. I have over 30 cameras/video cameras that I need to list.. I just don’t want to buy chargers and batteries lol
I test them out and list them accordingly. You can test the functions of most film cameras without needing to actually shoot with them.
I think they end up charging more cause they know you’ll get closer to full value.
Ben from the future!
I think I found one of your long lost brothers: What's Lucas Up To? On YT
Utah Jazz da best

eBay does live auctions
I tell people I buy, sell and collect.
I tell people I buy sell trade and keep sometimes
People get all proud when they can spot us lol ….. omg it’s been so annoying at times….. just let us work here lol
I think 300 for the educational set. Maybe you can even send it mail media….
Why did you leave all those camera accessories? Those would have added value to the camera and I'm sure they would've gave them to you with the camera for free, hopefully there wasn't any lenses in there
They weren’t accessories for the camera I picked up. They were mainly parts and stuff for others. No lenses.
“So uhh”
*Palm on lens*
The last 2 doc martens were Not a good deal ....thats why you didn't show comps!
??? I did show comps at 14:43…. They are up for $100 each pair. How was that not a good deal?
The American flag is backwards on that jacket.

Nice ! Teach us all how to get 700$ for the PS5 Pro ahah 😂
Don’t waste your money on that crap lol
@@LUMBEEPHENOM2012Surely not
dude, many people don't like resellers and ask for more money if they know you are a reseller.

If I say know I’d get that stuff for $40
Is that like an AI thumbnail or something cause that’s not the same person handing you the Lego set. Weird.
No it’s not AI. I made it like I do all of my thumbnails.
