As a full time reseller and sneakerhead, I'm super pumped for this series! I've found some heat at Goodwill, best shoe find was Nike BB Adapt Air Mags for $10 and flipped em on GOAT for $325!
Highly agree. Sure it could be done without it but I feel this takes a lot of credibility out of what he is doing. Another thing is this is only doable if you live in a big city. If not you have probably 2-4 goodwills/salvation armies to choose from and they get restocked maybe once every 2-3 weeks lol.
@@Stephen_Viele right. I Live in upstate ny, and there’s never anything in the good will or thrift stores. And there’s one of each within a reasonable amount of time
Doesn’t being a public figure making a video about selling the sneakers on eBay undermine the idea behind the video? Someone will buy them immediately because it is you selling the sneakers to them.
Yes but also no... he is pricing them according to other listings, so it’s not like he’s making more money than other ppl, it’s just he’s selling them faster than normal. Which doesn’t necessarily mean it’s not authentic just the time frame of what he’s doing will be different If say you or me tried to do the same thing
Y’all are dumb. Direction is more important than speed. It doesn’t undermine anything. It shows hustle and hard work; keep doing you Seth half these bums are mediocre at best.
Awesome idea and personally something I can get behind because a little cleaning on a sneaker using the right tools, can transform them for sure. However where this goes awry for me is advertising your eBay store. Of course that's going to help move your sneakers super quickly but if the purpose of this channel is to show that anyone can do this, then that's an unfair advantage you have over everyone else. All of us don't have a platform that has over 750k subs. IF this series is to simply show us how well you did investing $20 and using all of your resources available to you, then I am game for that! It will be awesome to see the progress you make over the 3, 6, and 12 months!
Surprised no one is talking about the time part of the equation. He spent at least a few hours going to and from The thrift stores, shopping, cleaning, and listing for a 45 dollar profit.
Love this series. As the addicted sneakerhead that I am, I love your channel as it has some of the best and varied sneaker content available. Keep up the good work man!!
what an awesome idea for a series. I'm totally keen on this. However, I think it will be a lot easier now that you've tagged your eBay store and have 770k people you can sell to!
I'm in high school and I can confirm this does work I came in with 0 sneakers and thru lots of trades and deals I now own about 50 sneakers, patience is key
Man this awesome. Seeing an OG of the sneaker community on YT take it way back to what kids aspire to do on that path to having an awesome collection. Definitely keep going with this one. Super inspirational.
Seth, this is so amazing! Best wishes to you on this venture! If you ever find anything 11/11.5 I would love to support this. An idea for a title for this series, "Thrift to Flip."? A couple of small questions? Why not try some other avenues to sell, like a business Facebook Page, or Mercari? I think that would increase your opportunities and create an avenue of engagement. Also, why not try Instagram? If you sell direct to people it would save on the fees too? Maybe down the road offer up some mystery boxes, when this budget allows for it and you have the inventory that would be themed for a box. Again, best wishes and I can't wait to see more!!! :-)
For the people complaining about him making the account public, I don’t think it’s cheating because he isn’t using it for an unfair advantage. I mean sure he will probably sell faster but he isn’t pricing everything ridiculously high and is keeping them close to the same price as other listings. Sure he may sell them faster than normal but I’d rather have him be able to upload more episodes sooner than have to wait 2-3 months for a pair to sell, and for the next episode.
I’m so pumped for this series!!!
Thanks so much for the inspiration and suggestion! It’s been a blast to make!
@@SethFowler no
Same
@RetroRick your channel is so 🔥
@@prauw of course the fortnite kid is hating
Seth usually: "yup just picked these up for around 400 wich is a steal"
Seth now: 'So I found these for 12 dollars wich was a bit too expensive."
Hahaha 🤣
Huh. This is a cool thing to do! Can’t wait for it
This is like a revolutionary content on the sneaker game. Hope turns out well.
I totally agree. I watched this then had to map my week out of hitting Goodwill's in the area. Excellent content.
I love this my g! I think this is a cool new piece of content for you and all of us that support you! I'm excited to see what you do with it.
I really appreciate it man!
This is ambitious af!
It would’ve been if he didn’t advertise his own eBay account on video…
That makes the whole thing not as authentic
I'm already hooked on this.
Same
This series just feels like that really long and fun side quest you leave for when you finished the main game. The best of luck Seth!
You should make these vids longer bc they're tuff for sure.

How does this work for tax return? as each one you sell counts as your tax so its gonna be hard to sort surely?
I don't think you need to tax it
Don’t you think that promo of the ebay account is kind of a cheating?

Yeah I thought the same thing
@@Stephen_Viele right. I Live in upstate ny, and there’s never anything in the good will or thrift stores. And there’s one of each within a reasonable amount of time
Agree
No its fair strat
Doesn’t being a public figure making a video about selling the sneakers on eBay undermine the idea behind the video? Someone will buy them immediately because it is you selling the sneakers to them.
Yeah I wish the account had stayed anonymous. This is a really cool project but if the audience buys up the sneakers it kind of ruins the fun.
Yes but also no... he is pricing them according to other listings, so it’s not like he’s making more money than other ppl, it’s just he’s selling them faster than normal.

I literally saw the title and thought "Retro Rick" hahah
He is the homie!! Love that you are doing this!
Thanks for watching and inspiring man!
really excited for this series, got me thinking of doing it myself!

This was one of the most entertaining videos I’ve ever watched, I’m officially into sneakers now
what an awesome idea for a series. I'm totally keen on this. However, I think it will be a lot easier now that you've tagged your eBay store and have 770k people you can sell to!
