Love your channel and the vlog style. I was watching you before the tech interview when you was are 3,000! You are def going to blow up please keep the videos coming!!
I'm one of your new subs. Lol I have an Etsy store, but I also Ebay. Been selling online for over 20 years, but I really want to revamp my store and streamline the listing process. I am way too critical of what I list to make sure everything is perfect. It takes FOREVER! I'm trying to do better. 😂 Thanks for the videos!
You know what’s really cool? I watched one of your videos and loved it so much I started following you (and I really only follow about 3 resellers currently). The very next day I saw Tech interviewed you 😅! Thank you so much for putting these videos out. I really appreciate it. ❤
So glad we found your channel! My wife and I are part time resellers and even trying YT as well. We are working to up scale our business and definitely find that consistency is probably the hardest thing for us starting out. I am a pastor and she is a stay at home mom. We homeschool our kiddos as well! Keep the great content coming!
Found your TH-cam from seeing you on techs and then I remembered we are in the same area. I’m on the other side of St. Louis… south city. Great content!
I came over to your channel based on your Tech and sport video. ❤ I am interested in switching over to clothing so this was very timely and the video was great
Hi! I am one of those 2000 new subscribers in the last week! I have went back and watched every single one of your videos! I love your channel! Too funny, my husbands name is Kiel too, but as you can see he spells it completely differently, it’s KIEL instead of Kyle. Thanks for the content, look forward to more videos from you and your family!
I absolutely love your channel. I had never seen you before until the tech sport video. I am a men’s clothing reseller but mostly do jeans and I have a ton of the same jeans you have and I have followed all the title structure from the group and I can’t get sales. It’s so frustrating. I am giving it till the end of May to see if I can get some traction in my store. After that I’ll count it a loss and just have a yard sale and sell my inventory at a loss. This has been super discouraging for me.
When I first found you a week or two ago I was very surprised that you only had 3.2K subscribers because I thought you had very good and well edited content. So it isnt all that surprising, but congrats on the growth!
We love the good and beautiful! Homeschooling 5 kids here, been using them for the past 5 years. I thrift and resell on the side. Only doing 2k gross per month, you’re a great inspiration!
Would you consider doing a video oe short on how you made your flat lay station. My mother sells on eBay and did something similar, but hers definitely needs some improvements. Best wishes to you and your family.
Good questions! We bag each item and put a custom sku number on them, then we put them in boxes. We list our items usually the next day after purchasing them. We don’t keep a death pile.
Those prices are very high for those brands you’re mentioning. If my stores started charging that much on average, then I would utilizing sales/discount days they may have or learn the brands that I can buy for $22 and flip to make at least $30+ profit on.
@carrieathome I do. I go on Sundays where one color tag is half off (which is still high to pay for reselling) but another color will be $1.50 but those are usually picked over and those items tend to just sit for a long time. I do have a GW Bins but it's a hike. Might be worth it though! Thanks for responding 🩷
Hope you don't mind me asking. Where do you get your numbered labels for your inventory? I have not had luck finding preprinted labels above 10,000. We used Kenco Store on Amazon with bad results to get them previous. Thank you very much and continue to have great success.
are all your jeans sold as "buy now"? how long on average before they are sold? did you experiment with the percentage of promotion before choosing 6%? is it always 6%? thank you for sharing.
I’ve tested all sorts of promotions and 6% just seems to be my sweet spot but it varies for sellers. I try to sell my item within 3 months of having it.
When you listed those 120 items, did it increase your sales? If so, how many mores sales did that listing generate? Would you do that amount of listing again? I am planning on starting this, this week. I got my items and want to see how it will go. Thanks.
I saw a slight boost but I think it also depends on what you’re listing and how big the store is to begin with. Listing the 120 boosted my store size by 6% so it wasn’t as huge of an impact for say a store size of 200 items. Good luck on the challenge!
I’m a one woman show when I go out sourcing with my toddler. My husband works full time. I feel guilty if I am out too long, so I try to keep my trips short. Which reflects in my sales. Do you ever experience mom/dad guilt having your kids go along? How do you make it fun?
I pack book, toys, snacks, and screens for the kids! I also believe kids should be incorporated into our days more. Kids adapt to their environment well so if they have thrifty parents, they have a thrifty childhood :)
Oh my goodness please tell me what is on the surface of what you are photographing on? A blanket? Do you have a TH-cam about your set up? Y’all are so cute
@@carrieathome Thanks for the response. I completely respect your choice not to share. For learning sake on my end, could you share why you don’t share it? Again, not out of judgment, just learning the potential pitfalls of sharing. Thanks again and am loving your videos.
No worries! I’m not linking my store because it’s our livelihood and want some protection from copy cats or creeps on my store. Plus, I don’t think eBay’s algorithm would like a bunch of people clicking on all my items and not buying anything.
@@carrieathome That makes a lot of sense! Congratulations on your success because of all of your hard work. Thank you for sharing your reasoning. I appreciate that you were willing to do that.

Yep, it's amazing what an impact the endorsement of a big TH-camr can do for your channel....congrats...well deserved!
I’m very thankful! He doesn’t have to do it and he doesn’t do it for just anyone! Very blessed 🙏
Absolutely, but it's obvious why he did. You guys are doing great and have fantastic content! @@carrieathome
Your one of my favorite channels. Your both so calm and easy to listen too.
Thank you!

Saw your interview with Tech it was very good a lot of good information!

Thank you! You should post your store in the group and see if we can give you some strong pointers!
@@carrieathome I’m going to post some titles on the group to see what they all think. Maybe I’m thinking my titles are good and they’re not.
@carrieathome with your high volume, which accounting method works best for you? Congratulations to you and your family on your success!
Congrats!! Love your channel!!
Thank you! ❤️
Subbed from the U.K. :) the algorithm really picked up on you congrats on the boost
Thanks for the sub!

I'll make a video!
Congrats seen the podcast with Tech ! Amazing
I would love to see on how you store your stuff after you put it on eBay? Do you list things right after you buy it or have a death pile?
Good questions! We bag each item and put a custom sku number on them, then we put them in boxes.
We list our items usually the next day after purchasing them. We don’t keep a death pile.
Hi, what kind of material do you have on your jean display photo board? Thank you.
It’s a fleece blanket 😊
Learning so much watching you. But should I do if my goodwill charges $22 for used jeans? Every brand from AE to Madewell.. sometimes more!
Those prices are very high for those brands you’re mentioning. If my stores started charging that much on average, then I would utilizing sales/discount days they may have or learn the brands that I can buy for $22 and flip to make at least $30+ profit on.

I found someone on ebay who does custom sku number labels!
Techs routine was intense
It is but I can see how it’s adaptable!

What size polybags and Clear bags do you purchase for jeans?
12x18 bags
What's your eBay store name?
Love all your videos so far… Are you cross posting to Posh, Mercati etc?
Thank you! And just on ebay!
Out of curiosity. What is the size of your photo background board?
It’s about 5ft by 5ft 😊
I’m a one woman show when I go out sourcing with my toddler.
My husband works full time.
I feel guilty if I am out too long, so I try to keep my trips short. Which reflects in my sales.
Do you ever experience mom/dad guilt having your kids go along?
How do you make it fun?
I pack book, toys, snacks, and screens for the kids! I also believe kids should be incorporated into our days more. Kids adapt to their environment well so if they have thrifty parents, they have a thrifty childhood :)
I'm new to this so I don't know if I'm just not seeing it but do you have a link to your ebay store?
You’re fine! I don’t have my store linked. 😊
Are you in Colorado? Where?
We’re in Missouri!
Question...what type of bags are you using for your clothing?
They’re clear polybags
Hi Carrie, where do you find your backdrop? TIA
We made it out of plywood and a Sherpa blanket!
@@carrieathome thanks so much 🙏🏼
I’m the best pickleballer that’s a full time reseller and uses the good and the beautiful sorry 😂. It’s a very niche persona
That’s cool! We’re still pickleball newbs but it’s been really fun. Trying to add it to our weekly activities lol
@@carrieathome it’s addicting I play almost everyday 😅
Oh my goodness please tell me what is on the surface of what you are photographing on? A blanket? Do you have a TH-cam about your set up? Y’all are so cute
Aww thank you! We use a fleece Sherpa blanket thing that we found at Walmart 😊
Omg. Was that Panteras? O_O
What is the name of your ebay store? Just subscribed. 👍
Welcome! I don’t have a link to my store
@@carrieathome Yes. I noticed that. Thanks for the reply. 🌝
What is your eBay store name? Would love to check you out there.
Hi there! I’m not currently not sharing my ebay store name

@@carrieathome strange but ok. I know a lot of TH-camrs get sales from their audience
I know, but my intentions aren’t to sell to my audience.
Congratulations.
