- Thanks for joining me today! Sorry again if the camera movement is shaky - I'm still working on a rig of some kind for my GoPro. I love it when things seem bleak only for things to quickly turn around in the end. 😅 That's the thrill of Saturday mornings for you!

When yard sales are priced so high I feel like hanging out and follow them to the thrift store they donate to ! LOL
Bahahaha 😂
hahah so funny and so true!😂😂
Right?!
Thrift store pricing can be ridiculous too these days.
@@DD_LetTheDogsOut thats true I feel that too
You never should be disappointed in yourself, you are great at what you do! Some things you have no control of🥰
Do not have to apologize for showing us the realities of reselling. Some sourcing trips are duds and others are amazing, with everything in between. It good for the newer resellers to know and for the seasoned ones to nod in understanding. :-)
Yup show the truth. It’s Hard Work and you definitely earn the money you make.
I recently got a Disney lamp for $5. I listed it at $69. For a quick sale. But after two weeks it still had not sold. So I took a best offer of $40 plus shipping. So $35 minus mercari fees. I think it was worth my time, and I was looking at reviews one afternoon and the lady who bought the lamp had left the funniest review. Talking about how it was wrapped and wrapped then cover and cover again. She said lol she didn’t think she was ever going to actually get to the lamp with all the wrap. I’m just so glad it arrived in good condition. I go a little overboard on wrapping breakables. But that’s a good thing. Plus the lady’s review made me laugh. 😊 Leslye
I saw a cool coke lamp but was too scared to ship it so didn’t buy. Good on you for making it work.
Thank you for sharing the beginning even though it was a "bust"! Not every sourcing spot is gold!
Glad you didn't quit!! So good!!! That last one was the saving grace. This was such a great haul.
Great video as always!!! I think you have different types of shoppers at yard sales compared to Ebay. I believe some people selling at yard sales now think they'll get the same profits as online. Selling on Ebay to me is almost like being a personal shopper and buyers are willing to pay for items they are looking for (designer, vintage, electronics etc)! Just my thoughts about it. Thx for the video!
This sale reminded me of a flea market..I cant wait to go to a flea market in my area and vlog it… Thanks for sharing
cant wait to see it!
My favorite finds have been things that I bought for myself that went up to the attack and then I immediately forgot I owned them. Recently sold a Star Wars action figure two pack that I probably spent $20.00 for $500.00 :)
I'm with you on selling mostly clothes and agree with everything you said! I used to sell "anything" that would turn a profit. As I matured as a reseller, I began to niche down to 95% Men's and women's jeans. The results are incredible! When your a generalist, you spend all day in one store because your hands have to touch EVERYTHING and rummage through every dept. Selling only denim, I save so much valuable time being only focused on a few racks in each store. More efficient way to get through bins too. Sure, there MIGHT be a vintage baseball glove in sporting goods that could make me $20 profit but I'm OK with just grabbing one more pair of Everlane jeans instead.
This is a great point! Something I've only really honed in on recently. So glad to hear you've had success doing the same 🥰
Great point! I've been thrifting and flipping for a few years now. I didn't have a niche I just bought decor and things I like without a brand and would post it. I would switch out my decor when I was bored but storing the items have been a challenge. Things break or I run out of space. I'm really leaning now more to clothes since I have 5 kids and we all need clothes. I didn't do well with clothes on FB marketplace my only source of selling platform. Now I'm going to try and venture into eBay in hopes I can open up my clientele.
@@rachelking7002 Good for you! I have not ventured in home decor at all, save for maybe a few pieces of porcelain knick knacks. I assume Home Decor to be low profit and slow moving as it is not much of a necessity in most cases and I don't see eBay being the first place that comes to mind for the average consumer unless it is a very rare, unique and sought after. Clothing is a bit competitive but very abundant. The biggest hurdles to get over is learning what brands do well and then actually falling in love with the process of listing. I hear and see so many times of how much resellers hate selling clothes because you have to take measurements and a reasonable amount of photos. Theres really not much to once you learn to enjoy listing them. When I lay out a piece and take photos, measure and finally fold them into a clear poly bag, I think of how much the customer is going love the item and it becoming their new favorite pair of jeans. I bit weird, yeah but its important to practice mindfulness, be in the moment and take it one item at a time, then you hit flow state. I can ramble forever but just know im rooting for you. Keep learning from Ashley and Chris from Daily Refinement. Be patient with yourself. You will do well.
@@merchantmondo8985 thank you so much for sharing your knowledge and if you have anymore ideas or tips and tricks I'd definitely appreciate it as they come!
Your yard sales are like ours in Idaho...people drag stuff out, don't bother to clean anything, some don't even bother to price, and they expect to get ebay prices.
"I'm enraged as well." 🤣🤣🤣 Girl, ain't no one mad 🥰
🤣 I pretend my audience feels every emotion with me lol!
@@HustleatHomeMomI just love how calm your rage is ❤️
i cant believe how fast imy fingers ran to hit the like button and watch button!! thanks for sharing with the world(all of us)
and neeeeever think you let us down!!! or yourself keep pushing because you always pick up great items
Thank you so much!
I hope i am not the only one that sees a strong resemblance between this woman and Holly Marie Combs from charmed they could be family. Keep up the good work i enjoy your work.
Is it just me or do any of you get irritated when people lost yard sale items so high? I figure if they want that much why don’t they resell online… not at a yard/garage sale.
Yuy, they expect eBay prices without all the eBay work of searching/hunting, cleaning it up, taking pics, making listing, boxing up, and shipping out. So frustrating!
Cause people don't want to be bothered with shipping , online etc. And if not sold and sent to goodwill etc profit is to go to the needy. I get it
Your last stop was so good! Glad you kept going and it was worth it in the end 😊
Always so excited when you put up a video, I live for them thank you for great content you’re awesome 😎
Thanks for sharing and caring! Great haul!
I'm so amazed that you only went to three sales and found ALL THAT great stuff. I know most was at the last one but wow! Great job! 😁
Great content as always! Thanks for sharing!
Great finds, thanks for sharing! 😊
Nice finds! Thanks for sharing 💞
Thank you so very much for sharing your experiences.😊👏
Great recovery towards the end. Great stuff! 🤘
I’m not much of a clothing reseller although I have sold a few things. I’m more bone china and glass even though that’s getting tough. I’m in an area of Florida where isn’t much in the way of better clothes and shoes. Many Goodwills are now pulling better items and sending to their online auction site. Garage sales are mostly kids clothes and toys with a few random things thrown in and even those are scarce. Enjoy watching you and wish I had your ambition while I sit here with 20 plus boxes of stuff to list.
Always love your videos! ❤️
Anthony informative video. You scored some great items.
Another great video Beautiful Ashley! 😊
HI Hustle at Home MOM ! YOU are AWESOME! You are such a Trouper for sure. Please take care of you and your body too. God Bless, Sherry :)
I almost went to that community sale at the mall, but it would have been a little out of the way for me and community yard sales dont usually end up being super successful for me (im looking for a lot of vintage since I sell mostly on depop). So I stuck to my map and my plan around Utah County and I found some cool stuff. This is really only my first summer hitting the yard sales and I've been learning a lot. Thanks for your videos. I've been learning a lot from you too 😊
You made the right choice! 😅 Glad you got to some good sales this past weekend!
@ 3:17 "thats Cashley" i literally laughed out loud.Great video !!
lol! It was so fun to see him! 🥰
You find not just good brands but a huge quantity of those great brands and at amazing prices. I’ve been thrifting now for 6 months and only found 1-2 Lululemon things and 2/3 were too expensive to buy. Found a few Patagonia items but Goodwill usually catches them and marks them up too much. My best scores lately are 1. Patagonia Ascensionist backpack for .50 and flipped for $100. And just found a pair of purple Tieks for $5. Not listed yet. Thx for the videos!!
you rock! Really enjoy your videos and I think you do not need to apologize so much ;-)
I love your spirit ashley :)
How great!
Hello and thank you so much for your videos. I love learning new things which I always do when watching you. I'm not sure if this has been asked before but I was wondering if you wash the clothes before selling? And again thanks for the awesome content!
Yes, I always wash or steam :)
Love your videos! I just found a vintage Gucci wallet/card holder in great shape for .50 cents at a small thrift store! 💖✌️
Oooh amazing find!
I understand, I've gone to Neighborhood Yard Sales and usually their prices are higher than Ebays and MSRP prices!!!
Thanks for the video. Be kind to yourself.
I agree!! I went to community garage sale in a more upscale neighborhood and the prices were too high on the decent stuff and there was a lot of merchandise I see everywhere with no value. I do better in my small town.
Yeah, I think they want the online prices that you are getting. It is understandable when they watch youTube and see what the things go for....they google what the price could be. Seems logical to me even if the yard sale vibe is dying out.
Love the shirt!!!
You ought to research the yard sale that the do all the way up Alabama into Tennessee it is amazing miles and miles and miles of treasures
Thank you so much for sharing! Do you have a sheet that you use to track everything that you can share?
Coming soon!
Wow some that stuff at beginning was well overpriced can’t understand why they don’t just flip online if they want that much but seems like it turned out good in the end for you though. My favorite best finds are vintage Gunne Sax dresses found 3 so far at bins all sell very quick and for great prices I love finding them🙂 All the best with the baby I have around 2 weeks to go now!
You are in the home stretch! Congrats!! And I love finding Gunne Sax, that's so awesome you've found 3!
Can't believe the yard sale prices!
I am definitely jealous!
Do you ever do a follow up vid of what some of the items sold for?
Just joined daily refinement and tech and sports Patreon are you still working with them and if so when r u on their calls or when do you do your coaching sessions? Love all u do you are a great inspiration always:)
😁Thank you so much and please no one can be mad at you doing your best. Honey we are all humans so those hating on you should move on. You are fresh💗 and I just love a woman's point of view.👍👏🙏✌💯
You poor thing! You can tell the pregnancy hormones were getting to you, I thought you were going to cry when things weren't going so well. You never have to apologize, we tune in to watch you, not just what you are buying. You can't help it if you're not finding what works for you, so no more saying sorry! Glad you did finally find good things. It was nice to see the smile return!
Hellooooo
Am Fc from Thailand.
Follow you now.
Thanks you all great content....
I have a friend who gets so frustrated that she doesn't sell her stuff easily but she will literally list it for like $5 less than she paid for it because she thinks it still has all that value. I try to explain to her that no one's going to pay more than $5 for what she's listing and she has it for like 30?
This is for yard sales, local resale events like jbf. Mainly baby stuff
You inspire me to get out there by myself! I love when my husband goes with me, but on Friday mornings when he's working I go alone and I get anxious about it. I get really shy if no one else is at the sale and it's just me with the owners. I also don't know what to say when they comment about something not being my size or whatnot. I then feel awkward for sourcing to resell. I just gotta keep getting out there!
Oh I so understand! I am with you - I feel uncomfortable when not many people are there, but I also have gotten more immune to it over time. 😅
I get really shy and awkward too 🤣 Sometimes I’ll end up telling the garage sale host that I am a reseller though and most people are super supportive and willing to give better bargains!
@@wednesdaysbliss1 no way! that's awesome! I'm always pinching my butt hoping they don't suspect I'm reselling LOL
@@kh863 I totally understand! More often than not I still don’t say anything! Although I find I get more flack from GW employees than anyone else 🤣
@@wednesdaysbliss1 💯 the thrift employees can get quite salty about it!!
Thank you for sharing your finds! I have played with the idea of selling higher end items like the channel glasses you picked up, but i'm not comfortable putting them on ebay. Are there better places for those items where you have more protection from scammers?
Yes! I actually sent those off to The Real Real - just for peace of mind. Selling high-end items on eBay has been really tricky for me lately.
Better than an ISA !
College text books sells good
Goat mom🐐
How do you know about all of these brands? I've never heard of these brands.
I think the 1 and 2 dollar items may become few because everyone wants to make money with everything is so expensive.😮
Do you ever have a tough time letting things go and wanting to keep them for yourself? I feel like I'd purposely buy them in the wrong size so that I don't keep it. 🤣
Haha! Yes, sometimes! But I find it hard to keep anything when I know it'll sell well... I'm a walking contradiction 🤣
Hi is there a link to buy your ebook?
Well done makeing that much money we're I live in the UK there nothing like this
Everyone is trying to make a living and survive.
What do you suggest for washing hats? I always worry that I’m going to ruin them.
I just wash them in the cold cycle and then let them air dry!
14:37 You don't wash every article of tagless, pre-owned clothing? I bought tons of clothing that appears brand new but tagless, and what's holding me back from selling them all is having to wash hundreds of garments that may not even sell. I'm pretty bummed and overwhelmed. ):
They were doing what you were it seemed. I feel like most thrift stores can even be outrageous any more
not so sure they "over-value" they just know that people are buying to re-sell and want to get the most money they possibly can (even if it's WAY outside reality). HELLO folks we don't buy things for $50 and sell them for $200 or $300 on eBay!!!
Hey, the garage sale people are trying to make money also! You buy everything cheap and then jack the price up for your profit!
Yard sales are yard sales and business is business. They have the right to charge what they want. She has the right to skip on the items due to price or ask what their best is. She also has the right to do whatever she wants with what she purchases at said sept agreed upon price. The sole purpose of a business is to make a profit…
😀
Request. Please leave your insert photos of sold and listed items up for longer. They disappear before they can be read. I counted seconds, and some of them were only up for 3 or 4 seconds. Some were as many as 10 seconds. Personally, 15 seconds would be better.
hi ashley! what camera setup do you use?
I have a gopro and also use my iphone or a Canon G7X 😅
@@HustleatHomeMom :) awesome! do you mount your gopro to a backpack or something while you’re sourcing?
?? Q: what is your process for cleaning up shoes?
I use a magic eraser or Lysol dual action wipes on the sole, and then leather lotion or leather polish if it's leather! I have a video about shoes it you click on my channel page :)
🌷🌷🌷🌷
I do very well on brand new lego Walmart or target. Lego is collectable once there out they dont make them anymore. Within 1 years you can tripple your price. Some really go high. Dont buy star wars lego they keep making those.
Really don’t understand high priced garage sales. Like, y’all are fixin to drop all this at GW once this is over anyways, right?! 🙄🤣
😂
Do you sell jewelry??
I enjoy your channel yet wonder Why is it OK for you to buy and sell at a profit but it isn’t OK for the yard sellers to try to make a profit?
They absolutely can! I just think a yard sale is maybe not the place to charge ebay/posh prices. There is no return guarantee, no satisfaction guarantee, as-is purchases only, no authenticity guarantee... Just my opinion, but I wonder if these sellers don't go home with almost as much inventory as they arrived with. If their goal is to sell, I think they need to embrace the mindset most people have when they shop at yard sales - they are expecting yard sale prices. :) But if it works for them, that's great! I could be wrong.
Thanks for taking the time to reply!
Also a LOT more work goes into sourcing, cleaning, steaming, researching, listing, sharing etc than just to throw it on a table outside. So why should th epeople throwing it on a table outside not putting in the work and not paying eBay fees feel they should get that pricing? Lol everyone is free the charge what they want but usually yard sales are to get rid of things not turn a profit
So, what happened to $5, $2, etc prices at garage/yard sales? 😂
If you want to sell it , price it to move
Your search is for sale products being under priced there while they understandably trying to get the profit themselves. Especially if they are the original purchasers. Can't win them all
You need to get a new hat and some dark sunglasses so you won’t get recognized lol. Why do people think their used stuff is worth so much??!!?? Drives me insane.
Oh I love saying hi to people, it's always fun! 🥰
People are naturally greedy.
When did you start haggling at yard sales? You used to pay full price
It's always been that way. It's a game.
I do most of the time, like at that first sale I happily paid what she asked. But the difference with the last sale was that the prices were just too high for me and felt unreasonable. In those instances, I'll ask if they're willing to negotiate and if they aren't, no hard feelings, but if they are, I'll ask for a reasonable discount. For the last sale, they were asking $385 and I asked for $300 and they were totally happy with that. 🙏🏻
The people at the 1st yard sale didn’t “overvalue” their stuff they were just smart and knew the value nothing wrong with that. I don’t understand why you think you let anyone down because YOU didn’t get to buy a bunch of stuff really super cheap and resell it for a huge profit who cares.
Overpriced? It would be the same prices you would charge right? All these vlogs you resellers do are making people wise up. Its getting harder and harder to resell because of youtubers. No hate, just saying... anyways... love your videos
Thanks for your kind comment! Maybe, but I also think there is a difference between an advertised yard sale and what to expect with pricing vs. a price we would see on eBay, Posh, etc. If someone is advertising a yard sale, I think it's reasonable for those stopping by to expect steeply discounted prices, so when the opposite happens... it can be a little jarring. Also, as an eBay seller, when I buy something from someone I'm taking on all the risk. Risk of returns, risk of damage, risk of it sitting in my store for months and months, risk of negative feedback or lost shipping, etc. When I buy from a yard sale, as a buyer, I get none of the guarantees that come from buying online - I can't return it, I get it as-is, and I accept any damages or flaws. So, while I do hope these sellers sold a lot of great stuff and made some good money, I was there with cash ready to buy up a lot of inventory and take on a lot of risk, but these steep prices steered me away. I guess it depends on the seller's goals! These are just my opinions though, I mean no offense and wish nothing but the best to these sellers! 🥰
@@HustleatHomeMom I completely understand and agree with what you said. What im saying is that TH-cam vlogs on reselling is making everyone think they can get eBay prices no matter what and where they sell it. I do however as a long haul truck driver and part time reseller, appreciate your videos... its a catch 22 for me. Just dont be discouraged. You are doing great.
I do think youtube makes it harder in some ways for resellers, over the years I've seen way more competition out in the stores...But the more sellers, the more buyers, right? Before I was a reseller, I never shopped on Ebay. Now I'm constantly buying things from eBay and poshmark 🤣 & Selling online is way different than selling at a garage sale- online you can charge a premium for the reasons Ashley mentioned and the fact that you have thousands of potential buyers looking for an exact item shipped to their door. Garage sales you have a small amount of people settling for a random item they may or may not need.
But you are the in the business of overpricing things??? Lol. Everyone wants only every item at $1 but never happen!
