Just a suggestion for people watching this video, when my husband and I was selling shoes we used either goo gone to remove the marker from the shoes (sometimes goo gone is too harsh on some materials) but even hand sanitizer will sometimes do the trick!
Thank you. ❤️❤️
Magic eraser and alcohol too
I use nail polish remover (acetone) cheap alternative and have never had an issue with anything getting damage. Paint on leather soles sometimes comes up a bit but to me a little discoloration is better than thrift store markings.
I don’t think I’ll ever find a video that is soooo helpful and organized like this one.
Thank you for watching! Glad you found it helpful! ❤️
Ive been reselling for over 15 years and have seen thousands of videos...something about this one that is honest and refreshing. Love the process and the breakdown of how you do things step by step. I have clothes in my deathpile but alwayssss avoid them lol, this will change that. Thank you for the video, I just subscribed and look forward to many more. God Bless
Sorry for the late response. Thank you so much! Your comment means a lot to me! Really glad this video could bring you some motivation.
Thank you again!
God bless.
I used to do video editing for TV news. If you ever get to a place where you would like to farm this out to someone so you can do more of the content I would be happy to chat with you. I'm a 54 year old mom who is just getting started with reselling myself. You have a natural delivery, camera presence and a kindness to your videos that make them enjoyable to watch. Continued success to you and your family.
Hey! That's awesome! I definitely think I could see contracting out my editing soon. I'm such a slowpoke when it comes to making one video. If you have a chance, do you think that you could email me at maritathriftandthrive@gmail.com ? That way I can reach out to you down the line about editing.
Thank you so much! I hope the same for you and yours! ❤️🥰
I’m always glad to see another video posted. I wish you could post more, but I know it’s so time consuming.
Thank you Carolyn!! I eventually want to do 2 videos a week, but as of right now it takes me 10 hours to make 1 video so I need to get faster on the editing side!🥰❤️
@@ThriftandThriveMaritawith as much editing I can quickly caught the first few seconds I thought wow! She’s good! Glad I came across your channel. I sick at being organized and have been working on it.
Love your system especially the receipts. Great organization of paper. Bookkeeping is a 100. I try to figure that out at the end of the year doing write offs. I had a client who stapled her receipts to each page detailing what each items was for then she would make a copy. But we had a system that would automatically categorize your receipts.,
great vid! love this process, i just ordered a whiteboard!
Yay!Hope you enjoy it!😘
It's an amazing system implemented by a very intelligent, highly organized and a very beautiful and charming person! Thank you so much for sharing your method!!! You make this world better!
Wow! Thank you for such a kind comment!! This made my day! Really glad you found the video helpful. 🥰❤️
SO helpful. You should take that videoeditor up on her subcontracting proposal; I agree you are really a natural and very enjoyable to watch. Your kind nature comes through alone with your skill. I had a question but you answered it at the VERY END!!! 🙂
I'm really thinking about it since it does take me so long to make one video! Thank you so much!! I'm so happy that you enjoyed it and that I covered your question. ❤️🥰
You were terrific!! Thank you!
Great video. I love seeing other sellers systems. Photographing the inventory numbers is genius. I do both and sometimes I notice an enter the wrong number and the photo saves the day. I use to have plastics drawers. They were a nightmare to deal with! So box/bin as you have is the best. For me I’d shave of a few steps to save time like measuring and packaging while the clothes are being photographed and then package number it so you don’t have to go back and fuss with the item again. And also my ocd is saying just get the sold items and package it instead of writing and erasing and just put certain numbers in a certain boxes and save the fuss amalgamating all the time lol. Again great video and I love your reselling space!
Thank you! I've tried soooo many ways and this has been the most efficient and I'm able to do all the steps quickly when I batch the tasks out. ❤️
Thank you, Marita! All your tips are so helpful. Your effort is much much appreciated💕. Thank you again for making time on sharing your system with us💐
Thank you so much! I'm really happy that you found it helpful! ❤️🥰😘
Not only are you a gorgeous woman, but you are also organized. Your husband and kids are so blessed to have you.
Love this kind of video and love your place very much!
One question, how do you store heavy item like jacket, suit?
Thank you so much! You're so sweet! ❤️🥰
I forgot to mention that I have 4 large tubs just for coats that I bag up in extra large plastic bags.
I just wanted to say I love all your videos, but I believe this one video is truly THE most helpful reselling video I’ve ever seen. After a near disaster with my taxes this year, I was desperate for a better system. I’ve already implemented so many of these tips & I feel 1000% more organized. Thank you!!!
Yay! That's so nice to hear that you found it helpful! I've had a lot of questions on my systems and how I do my inventory that I would try and answer in the comments, but I'm a visual learner so I felt like a whole video may be useful for people with similar learning styles. I hope this helps you for your next filing year and that it gives you peace of mind so that you can enjoy what you do even more. Thank you for watching! ❤️🥰
The 'system' you have is kinda sorta what I started with a few years ago. While it worked great for me, the boxes can get very heavy and cumbersome to deal with for my wife, and grandkids, so we're moving to a 1-row wide box (rather than three wide). Otherwise, your setup is awesome and easy to deal with. Your voice, topic flow, and video editing are wonderful; so much easier than so many of the youtubers out there. Well done. We'll be checking out a few of your other 'tips & traps' type videos. My wife & I are typically burned out on haul & sold videos, but enjoy info that helps us improve our own listings, habits, and sales. Thank you!
Was literally searching “poshmark inventory systems” on TH-cam 5 minutes ago and then this video popped through in my subs! Thanks for the timely upload!
That's too perfect!! I hope you're able to find some value in the video! I love your channel name btw! Just subscribed! 🥰❤️
@@ThriftandThriveMarita thank you! Means so much! Your videos were some of the ones that inspired me to finally start a channel :)
Finally! Thanks for this awesome video! Amazing as always!
Thank you! Hope you enjoyed it! 🥰❤️😘
I spray Goo Gone on a Q-tip and it immediately erases the marker from every sole I’ve worked on.
Thank you! 🙏❤️
That is one big basement
I used to work in a tiny space in my garage at our previous house so I'm very grateful for all the space I have now! ❤️😊
Such a great video Marita. This should be required viewing for everyone who thinks reselling is easy money.
Thank you!! Reselling definitely comes with a lot more work than people think. It's so worth it though and is the best job I've ever had!❤️🥰
As I was leaving goodwill today, I thought, I hope Marita posts today! Love your videos. They have helped me so so much. You’re my fave TH-camr. Your smile and cheerful attitude bless me.
A couple of questions-
Where do you buy your boxes that hold your inventory?
When you film in the thrift store, are you using a GoPro?
Do you use a camera to film at home or your phone?
Sorry for all the questions!! I just love your style and appreciate your help so much!! ❤❤
That's too funny! I've been slacking on posting this month. We have a bad bug cycling through our house.😕
Aw thank you so much! You're so kind!
I bought my boxes off Amazon and I have them linked in my video description. I measured out my shelves and found boxes on there that fit in perfectly.
At the store I use both my GoPro and regular camera. The GoPro for my point of view shots and then my camera for a full length view of me grabbing the items. I definitely look pretty silly while I'm out shopping.
I also use my camera for when I'm shooting my at home sit down scenes just because I think it looks better.
Don't ever be sorry for asking questions! I'm always happy to help! Thank you so much! 🥰❤️
@@ThriftandThriveMarita I’m so sorry yall have been sick! That’s so hard when you have a few kids.
I had to share something with you!! I bought a pair of Veronica Beard pumps at one of my local thrift stores where all shoes are $2 a pair.
Today was my first sale since coming back to reselling last Wednesday, and I accepted an offer for those shoes of $175.
Not a bad re-introduction to reselling. 😂🤯
Thank you for letting us in and educating people like me that just started reselling
Thank you for watching! Hope you found it helpful. 😊❤️
Thanks for the great video. I always learn something valuable from you. Thank you.
Oh good! That makes me happy to hear! Thank you! 🥰❤️
Cool to see your system. You're inventory system is a bit different from some others and its good to see everyone has their own way of organizing. Thanks for showing us your process!
Hey! Thanks for watching! ❤️
Hi, Marita! Thank you for sharing your process. Have a great week! 😊
Thank you for watching! Thank you. Same to you! 🥰❤️
Seeing how you do your inventory was so helpful. I'm at about 180 items and I really need to figure mine out. Only question I have is using the Alphabetical rows compared to just numbers. Is there a reason you chose that? Oh, and I LOVE the board with measurements and sku and taking a pic with the item! I'm going to incorporate that as well. I love your table height. I'll be on the hunt for a thrifted table I can work off of without bending over so much. Love your channel!
Oh my this video helped this newbie so much. I only have 110 items so far which include hard goods. I have saved this video for future!😌😀
Yay! So glad you found it helpful! 🥰🤗
Great video and tips. Along with the white board info, I also include photos of the actual measurements showing the ruler.
Thank you! That's a good idea too! 😊
I love videos like this!! Love seeing everyone’s systems! Thank you!
Thank you for watching! Glad you enjoyed it! ❤️
New to the channel. I like your lime dress...👍
Hey! Hope you're enjoying it so far! Thank you. I just recently found it! ❤️
Loved this video! Thank you for showing your system! I’ve been reselling PT for a long long time and I’ve always struggled with this. You explained it very nicely.
Yay! I'm so happy that you enjoyed it! It's something that I really struggled with too. Once I got my systems down and stayed organized it made reselling even more enjoyable! Now I feel like staying organized is a form of self care for me. Lol.❤️🥰
oh my! This is the video I've been waiting for! Thank you so much.
Yay!! Hope you find it helpful! Thank you for watching. 🤗🥰
This is amazing content! Exactly what I needed to know step by step! Kudos:)
Thanks for this video Marita, this is a very well organized inventory system!
Thank you and thank you for watching! ❤️😊
Such a well done and helpful video. Thanks for sharing your process!
Thank you for watching! Glad you enjoyed it. ❤️
Thanks for sharing your system! Love your setup! Currently we work out of a small area in our garage, but my dream is to have a basement setup like yours one day! Very inspiring 🙌!
Thank you for watching! I'm very grateful for the space that I have! Before we moved into our new house, I was working in a tiny section in our garage too so I know how constricting that can be. I hope you get your dream space soon! ❤️🤞
Just started reselling late last year and still trying to figure things out. Your videos are so helpful! This one was great, going to try this storing method 🤞
So happy you're enjoying them and getting value! I'm excited to hear how it turns out for you. ❤️
I have subscribed! You are so organized. My only concern is why do you carry so much inventory? I question having that much investment and having old stock. I personally limit myself to 3 racks of clothes. But, you are brilliantly organized and definitely must organize myself better. I do Poshmark Lives so can't fold up my clothes as they always need to look their best. I love how you shoot your items. Having a back drop like that eliminates that one step of using a back ground eliminating app.
Great video! I really like the white board with measurements and sku number. I might try that out! Thanks for sharing. 😊
Thank you and thank you for watching! Glad you found that helpful! ❤️
I enjoyed learning your System..It makes so much sense to get Organized..
Thank you for watching! Glad you enjoyed it! Staying organized for me is a form of self care. Lol.🥰❤️
You have some pics of my cute little grandkids over your right shoulder at 1:20! Great video!
Haha! Aren't they little cuties?! 🥰🥰🥰
Thank you so much for taking the time to explain all of that ! Great, helpful video.
Thank you for watching! ❤️
Thanks for sharing your processes. Very inspiring. And I was looking for a sweater shaver so I will be ordering one tonight with the info you provided. thanks again
Thank you and thank you for watching. How perfect! I hope you like it! ❤️🥰
This was really satisfying to watch - I love organization. I really enjoy your channel, Marita - you are so lovely. 😊 ~Laura, Washington state
Glad you enjoyed it! Same here! Thank you so much. I'm from Washington State too where are you located?!❤️
Hi Marita, I recently discovered your channel and you have quickly become one of my favorites! You have a great eye for fashion and I love the way you explain things. Would you be able to share how you do your shipping? Thank you for all of your wonderful videos, they have been so helpful.😊
Thank you so much Julie! That means a lot to me! I could definitely make a video soon walking through my shipping if that's something you'd be interested in. Thank you for watching! ❤️🥰
Great system. You did a great job.
Thank you! 🙏
Super organizational skills. New subscriber. thanks for showing us all of this.
Yay! Thank you and thank you for watching!!
Excellent video!! Thank you for sharing this fantastic information!!
Thank you for watching! ❤️
That dress is so cute and gorgeous. Love your videos !!
Thank you!! 🥰❤️
Great video!! Love your system!
Thank you!!
Nice set up. Thanks for sharing.
Thank you and thank you for watching! 🥰❤️
I love when others share their processes. Always good ideas. I'm wondering if you get many requests for waist and/or hip measurements when selling dresses?? I provide those measurements but maybe I don't need to. Just curious what your experience has been. Thank you!
Same here! I love anything to do with organization and systems! I personally haven't had any issues with just providing pit2pit and length measurements when it comes to dresses.❤️
Great content! Very helpful! I like how you do the whole process. I’m going to try and do the same. Thanks!
Thank you! Glad you enjoyed the format. Yay! Let me know how it goes for you. ❤️
At what stage do you actually create your listing? Do you do it in multiple steps? I may have missed it. Very good and thorough video!
Insightful. Thank you!!
Hope you found it helpful! Thank you for watching! ❤️
Thank you so much Marita for this wonderful and informative video. You’re awesome! 😎
You did a great job!
Where did you purchase your boxes on your shelf and shelf itself? Ty :)😊
Thank you and thank you so much for watching it! I purchased them off Amazon and I have them linked in my video description. I love them! ❤️
My pleasure to watch your video.
Can you tell me Marita where I can find the Royal blue dress with flowers you were preparing in your video. I cannot seem to find it in your Poshmark closet? Ty
😃 Hello ! I have been enjoying your content and demeanor for a couple years now, and want to thank you for sharing and especially your kindness. I started in 2022 in my home and have now moved to coshare a studio space with my husband. Its time for a system lol🤣. I store inventory in covered Plastic totes and organize by "type": jeans, tee shirts, dresses, long sleeved dresses ect.. ( But i need a sku system * I wonder if you based "type'" in certain Lettered boxes OR if it is a random storage based on your daily hauls? For Example: So if you haul 2 jeans, 1 blouse , one swimsuit... do they all just fall into the next Letter/number ? This is the part I could use a little help on? How I can try and organize based on clothing type? Thanks in advance for your help and continued online teaching and sharing presence💞
Impressive system. 😮
Thank you! 😊❤️
Maybe I missed this but where did you get the boxes that you store your inventory? Thanks for sharing. You are such a natural on video. Keep up the good work 🎉
I actually just ordered them off Amazon. I love them! I have them linked in my video description. Thank you so much and thank you for watching! I've been enjoying your channel too!🥰❤️
Maybe place a yard stick on your items when photographing? Won’t need to measure and write down on the white board?
That's a really good idea! Thank you! ❤️
Lift off removes marker on the bottoms quickly
Thank you! 🙏❤️
Where do you buy those plastic bags????!!! Wow! I should do that from now on! 💕❤️💓🎉🎊🥳😊
I buy them off of Amazon. I have them linked in my video description. 😊❤️
Great system!
Thank you!!
Thank you so much! This was very helpful!
Thank you for watching! Glad it was helpful! 🥰😊
I needed this ❤. Thank you
Hope you found it useful! Thank you for watching! 🥰🥰
Love this! At what point do you enter into the platforms with bottom descriptions? Also do you average the cost of each good on a haul?
Great video thanks for sharing.
Thank you for watching! ❤️
Promoted closet is a waste of money. I paid for several weeks and I either made nothing from it some weeks or barely paid for itself when I did make sales from it. The only way I'm staying consistent these days is crossposting. Some weeks posh likes me and sometimes not. It took time to get the ball rolling on ebay because noone wants to buy from a new account without feedback. Once it got up and running it's been better than posh.
Than you. This was helpful.
Thank you for watching! Glad you found it helpful! ❤️
Great system and thank you for sharing. I am just starting so my inventory is low, but I hope to start some growth. Any suggestions for a newbie? Thanks in advance!
Hey! Thank you for watching! If you don't already even if you have a low number of items I would definitely decide on what inventory system works for you and your space and pick one that you can grow with. Once you have a high volume of inventory it's very time consuming and hard to pivot to a new inventory system that's more conducive for more items. As for growing when I got started I was putting back a lot if not all of my profits back into buying more inventory to grow my business until it got to the point that I just wanted to sustain it. Also, make sure you're taking your time at the thrift store and looking up your items before you invest your money into them.
Wishing you all the best luck! ❤️🤞🥰
Great video, thanks!
Glad you liked it! Thank you for watching! 🥰❤️
what type of a spreadsheet do you use to manage your inventory? also, how do you manage your photos of items?
Love this! ❤
Thank you! 🥰❤️
Thank you for your videos! I've been really enjoying then. I've been interested in switching from my current automation sharing tool to Prime Lister. Just a question for you... do you run it all day long or just for a few hours. My current tool only let's me share up to 8,000 times. So I usually run out for only a few hours per day. Thank you!
Hey! Thank you for watching! I have mine set to share my closet 3 times a day which is around 8k shares. But with PrimeLister it's cloud based so unlike PosherVA you don't have to leave your computer up and running in order for it to continue to share your closet. You set up your actions in the beginning and then every day it just works in the background for you without you having to do anything. Hope that helps. ❤️
Thanks so much for sharing! Do your lights with the filters help eliminate your shadow on your item when the light is behind you? Also, I keep in a google sheet how much I paid for each item, so I know my profit margins. Do you just do an average for all items in a haul?
Hi , new to your channel one question do you keep item in the bag the way it is to ship? I have seen many videos where they take them out of bag and wrap in tissue paper not sure if that’s so they can keep recycling the bag. Going to try this system btw, I’m a hot mess over here!😅
Hey! Sorry for the late response. I store the items in the inventory bags and then I shop them out in the same bags. I think it looks professional and also gives an extra layer of protection. ❤️
Do you us a spreadsheet or app to keep,track of everything?
On EBAY they want the shoe measurements? How do you do those?
Where do you list the SKU number on Poshmark or on Depop if you are familiar?
Nice!!😊
Thanks! 😊
Thanks for the video!! What steamer do you use? And do you ship the shoes in a poly mailer, bubble mailer or box? Thanks 😊
Thanks for taking the time to watch it! I bought my steamer off Amazon and have it linked in my video description. I ship my shoes out typically in poly mailers but if they're larger I ship them in large polymailers. 😊❤️
@@ThriftandThriveMarita I went to your affiliate Amazon link for the steamer and it appears that that one is no longer available. You may want to update your affiliate link :) Thanks again
Few questions here, do you put your shoes in a box after?. For your clothes..do you weigh them? For shipping I mean
Hey! No I actually ship my shoes in oversized poly mailers. When I ship out clothes I only weigh them when it's shipping time and that's only if it's a sale through eBay.❤️😊
@ThriftandThriveMarita so how do you know how much shipping will be? Thank you
@@ThriftandThriveMaritayou put all shoes I. Oversized poly. Do you just keep them in the plastic bags?
Do you do any measurements?
So with your dresses you don't do a waist or hip measurement?
No I don't add those measuring in. I personally haven't had any issues with leaving them out. 😊
Those are big boxes. How many inventory items in each box approximately?
I typically can fit around 50 items per box. 😊
What do you do for moth prevention? Thx for the video ❤
I keep all my items sealed in those bags so it prevents moths and pests from getting in. Once I'm home from the store I either have my items bagged that day or the next so they're only hung up for a day or less. Thank you for watching! ❤️😊
Great video! How many items do you list a week?
Thank you! I list a minimum of 70 a week. ❤️😊
What size are the storage boxes
What’s the app called you use for storing your receipts?
I don't use an app I just use a special folder in my phone. 😊
Wow!
❤️
I don’t see you weighing any items like shoes. I’m trying to figure out shipping for eBay. Do you have a set shipping price for certain items?
Hey! I don't weigh my items until it's time to ship them out. When I enter in the weight for my listings I typically just guess how much it will weigh and normally I'm not far off. As for shoes in my listing I charge all shoes under the price for a padded flat rate envelope. 😊❤️
First get a really big basement.....
I just recently got this house. For the first 4+ yrs of reselling I was storing everything in a small section in a one car garage and doing all my other work in our living room.
@@ThriftandThriveMarita Been there! I used the garage door track for hanging things.
#OrganizingGoals
Thank you! ❤️
What’s the brand of your lemon dress?
I just recently found it! It's from Steve Madden. 🥰
@@ThriftandThriveMarita nice and tropical !
Right?! I love summer time dresses! 🥰
Do you do your own taxes or go through a tax expert? I have no idea how to go about it without spending a lot. I don't make much monthly but I was told to still report
I don't pay anyone to do my taxes, but when I was just starting out I set up a meeting with an accountant and had a free consultation where they gave me a bunch of information on what and how I need to track everything. Maybe look up a local accountant in your area and see if they provide a free consultation.❤️❤️
@@ThriftandThriveMarita thank you so much. I will do that.
Of course! Happy to help! ❤️
@@ThriftandThriveMaritaI’ve heard us newbies need to get info from a CPA. I will find an accountant to help. This k99 is stressing me out
Hi I love you ❤videos
Hey!! Thank you!!❤️
eBay over time removes my storage note code and it’s soooo annoying
Oh no! That's frustrating. Are you entering it under the Custom SKU option?
❤
Hey Susan! I hope you're doing well! ❤️
are u looking for a husband?
I'm already married. 😊
