how dare they build completely new buildings for ever single store and make their over head so high that they have to over charge people for junk that is donated to the store for free .. I can buy new clothing at walmart cheaper than they are charging for shirts for instance i bought 2 tank tops no holes never worn or washed .. for $7 and at goodwill the same tanks would have been $9 so yeah HOW DARE THEY .
This reminds me when I first started selling on ebay and amazon. I still pick every now and then because it's a ton of fun. Once you get some money saved up you can gamble with start looking into the liquidation business. I have over 7000 square feet to house my inventory. Picking is a great way to make a living, but if you can find a good supplier the possibilities are endless. For the new sellers, ink cartridges, and toners are how I made my start. Goodwill always carries these.
For real they said, ohhhh bout 1 hunned for this shitty thing that was 2 bucks, ehhh we dont know what it is but bout 1 hunned. This is why trailer trash stays trailer trash.
Some older adult diapers can be worth an amazing amount. A package of vintage Attends can go for $200-300, yes for one pack. There is a large subculture of people who enjoy wearing diapers and will pay, ABDL ( Adult Baby Diaper Lover). I've been selling on eBay full time for 15 years and do very well
Goodwill has raised their prices but like you said.. sometimes can find something. I found a Brand New (sealed) Cash Flow game by Rich Dad Poor Dad guy for $5 and sold it for $140 I believe or around there with free shipping. I was so excited I was thanking God! No shame in my relationship here :) He has helped me lots as well as your videos. Thanks Gill daddy & Gill mama. Really appreciate you guys. -Naomi
yes some of the stuff you find does retail for the prices you said... but brand new. call me crazy but why would i buy a used item with no instructions, no packaging when i could be the same thing in a box brand new for the same price?
I think it's more than making a living . It's a hobby and super fun finding stuff for cheap that worth a lot of money. I don't personally do this but I understand the concept. just thought all the people who don't understand should see this. Also the ones saying they get it for next to nothing and charge a lot should take into consideration the time they put into it. You're watching a video with the boring parts cut out. It's not as easy as you think. There so many ppl doing the same thing . As well as them selling it at higher prices . If you can't replace it for less than what you charge why would you sell it for less? haters
I haven't been to Goodwill in months, because they truly are some greedy dogs. The Goodwill outlet we have is a madhouse. Salvation Army and DAV stores are cheaper where I live. Great job guys! It's amazing what you can find while picking.
Good vid with great finds! Not everything a thrift store does is awesome but they keep us flippers going, so I'm thankful for all of them! Even if sometimes they do weird things.
I love it! I want to thank you so much for this video. I was sitting here pondering my future saying: "What do I want to do? Do I want to go back and get a programming job and join that rat race again doing generally useless and really hard stuff, making someone else rich?" No. I don't! I think I'm going to give what you guys are doing a try! I like going into thrift shops anyways. Never thought of making money doing it! Oh I would think you'd have to be in a big city to do this?
Jacob Becomes Israel The city needs to be big enough that there are at least 30 or more yardsales listed on a Saturday between Craigslist and the local newspaper classifieds. Goodwill is not where it's at, in my area. The prices are too high. Yardsales are the way to go.
Kind of funny to hear about Goodwill being greedy. Entertaining video. That Lacoste shirt is worth $100 new in France. I’d say $40 used in good condition no pb. $3.95 m, if it’s new is one if the best clothing deal ever.
Goodwill regional managers make 300 to 400k per year the CEO makes over a half mil. Did a research paper on it in school. Oh and they pay disabled workers less than half minimum wage. I have boycotted the northern Oregon stores and encourage all to do the same. Southern Or seems to have scruples still so I am able to make a profit and have a clear conscience. Great videos BTW I love your attitudes!
It depends on who is managing the store. Some are cheap and sone are sky high. Word of advice on your polaroids wait till you have 10 then list at a buy it now of 140-160 offer international calculated shipping. You will sell them in a heartbeat. Usually overseas but awesome profit!!!
Same thing with Goodwill here in town, if I take myself 45 minutes south to Eugene the Goodwill does not jack the prices up there - too much inventory I guess. I spotted an Aero Garden at my local Goodwill, I will have to see if its worth purchasing. I sold my first Polaroid camera, shipping it out today. Then I'm taking myself picking.
Keep In mind neither of these people even brought up the shipping fees it costs to ship some of these large items. You may pay $10- $15 for a item that sells for $30-$40 but it will cost you $20 to ship it through FedEx or UPS. Ebay customers almost always expect free shipping and than you have ebay sellers doing everything they can to undercut eachother. Add the listing fees and the 10% - 20% fee ebay takes off the total sell price of the item and the 3% pay pal takes off of every transaction and you really made $3-$5 off a item you have had listed for 30 days or more
actually goodwill has been in the antiques and resale business since before ebay - they hire professional researchers for their items and have their own auction site
I hate it when they price things for the price you would get it everywhere else. They get most of their stuff for free. Ive found that nowadays you have to have a vast knowledge of stuff. There are always things they don't even know what it is so they can't just look it up.
Cool, but people need to keep in mind their costs traveling to the thrift stores. Of course, if one does this by the rules, you pay tax on your profit, but you also get to deduct expenses, like your mileage, if you keep the proper records.
Every time, before I begin picking, I say in my head.. " I am grateful for what I find today" . I ALWAYS do this. It is not directed at Jesus, Allah, Buddha, Odin, Anubis, Loki, Ra, or any of the hundreds of other "One hit wonders" of gods past. It is just something I do. This , "attitude of gratitude"., Try it, and see what I am talking about.
I am curious as to the names of some of these places that you are shopping at. Mostly I shop at Goodwill but I have been looking for some other good ones.
Let me guess, you're tens of thousands of dollars in debt because you paid a business that calls themselves a "university", to teach you skills that you could have learned on your own, believing that your four years of parroting and partying would compensate for your lack of ability to use your own brain. But now, can't find a job that reaps the benefits of thinking outside of the box and running your own business, as you have had that ability all but stripped from you in school, where they instead, tell you lies and teach you how to be a puppet ass slave working for a set wage. Ensuring that your life is spent slaving away for someone else?
I feel you bro Goodwill has gone way over board with their prices to the point that a lot of people have stopped going to one particular Goodwill in Dublin. Ca. thanks again I just started selling and found out though your videos I have been up unitl tonight shipping all wrong. I have a long way to go thanks again you guys keep up the videos I love them.
I appreciate what the thrift stores do for their programs. If you research stores like Goodwill you will be amazed at the amount of money that actually goes to their programs. Funny how there are lots of corporate fools at the top of this company making insane amounts of money. That is one reason I have no problem speaking up when a thrift store is trying to get eBay or higher than eBay prices. The way I see it is if you want eBay prices then close the store and sell on eBay.
By the time you pay for the item, shipping, Ebay fees, and gas for your car to go to Goodwill, this might seem like your not making much money on your items that are only worth about 15 bucks.
We wrap them in bubble wrap and pack them in peanuts. The thing you have to watch for with electronics is that they are completely enclosed. If those peanuts get into the inside, it can ruin them. Make sure they are not exposed to the peanuts directly.
Yeah, your Goodwills seem to be overpricing. It's starting to happen in my area too. It irritates me how they wrap board games two or three times with packing tape, which can tear the paper right off the game box, and the way they just price anything they think looks valuable with a high price tag. They need to back off!
I do clothing frequently. My question is how to get that thrif/musty smell out of it. Moreso without washing or do you wash yours. I damaged a coat one time by washing it.
We do not do lots of clothing mainly because there is more profit in other items. Do not worry about washing clothes, unless there is a stain you are trying to get out. Most people when they buy used clothes will wash them anyways. You will never have a problem with someone saying your clothes smell musty.
Gilldaddy I did Ebay clothing and OH yes they bitch , i have had complaints from musty, to cat piss smell to dog hair to cigarette smoke.. when i smelled NOTHING . so I did this if it was washable i would wash it and put it directly into a space bag. with a dryer sheet inside . if it was dry clean only i would wait til i had several pieces and take advantage of a dry cleaner sale . that is only worth doing if it is a very expencive item. like a wedding dress or High dollar brand name item you know your going to make several hundred dollars on.
Well, it is about time I get a hater. I always thought people donate stuff to first, get rid of it, and second to help out the charity organization that the thrift store represents. At least that's why I donate stuff. The thrift stores are still getting the same amount of money from me as they would from whoever else purchases it. Even better the sick kids or whatever the charity they help is making money from me. The best part is I make money by giving money to help charity. ;)
How do you test things like that camera before buying? I've passed up lots of that kind of stuff because there is no guarantee that it works. Do you guys just chance it?
We can't always test everything that we buy. If it's at a weigh and pay, it's a risk you take. If it's at a ts, we usually have 7 days to return if it doesn't work
I find it kind of sad you are Jewish and don't even know why I am Native American, and my people also experienced genocide. Why do you find it kind of sad indeed? Your move...
Is this $100,000 year before after you pay taxes? And is this before or after you buy gas, maintenance, shipping,etc...?? I say good for anyone that is willing to hustle and work hard to make a living.... Thank you for sharing!
It takes money to make money...and scared money dont make money. Quit asking them questions and do it for yourself, Storage Wars is actually a real thing too not just a T.V show
im about to start doing that too im selling my crap 1st to build some Paypal bank then that. Your video was helpful thank you! It's odd what sells now. I'd think that stuff would be dead but no it refuses and it's a good thing too!
Anyone hating, these people are exercising their rights as American citizens. The same rights I put my life on the line to defend. If you don't like what they do, then put your life on the line and change it. If you can't or won't, shut the fuck up!!!
yes and no, you can drop ship from Walmart.com but you can also sell on walmart.com same way you do on Amazon. for instance if you do a search for an item, and walmart wharehouses are out of that item it will show it is still available for purchase because someone else is selling it.
I haven't used my account to sell anything for some time but recently decided to sell a few things. I sold one item for $65 and Ebay takes out $6.50? and then paypal takes out another like $3? Those fees seem really high! Is this what they commonly do now? I don't remember it being 10%+ in fees! ouch
yes on average I pay 15% in fees between the two - they now charge a percentage of your shipping fees - and and - I have found that paypal and ebay have charged like 5 and even 6 times for one shipping label - so get this if I had bought say a $10 shipping label I have found they had charged me 6 times for it !!!!
A new site called BONANZA does not charge for listings, and their fees are very low. It is basically another Ebay that has become popular recently. They also use Paypal and you can get a discount on shipping for USPS.
+Zackary Anderson They end up loosing money with shipping fees and shit like that you can tel they're noobs paying a whole lot just to amke 10 dollars and then pay for shipping
When we thrifter, we went daily. Different stores every day. We would go probably 30 miles out at the most. Different things cost different shipping amounts. The buyer pays shipping
Dont mind the haters man. Just jealous! I have been on YT for awhile and you will get the dislikes and negative comments...just ignore them buddy! Keep up the good work,we should collab sometime.
gettingbigforskinny believe what you want. First this video is not new. We have not sold on eBay in a long while. I have videos that show our sales on eBay in 30 days when we did. We only sell our own branded products on Amazon now. Your right though I purposely exaggerated prices because.... wait not sure why I would do that.
one thing they are not telling is all the fees charged from ebay and paypal and then the high shipping cost for most of the stuff they are selling because it is big and bulky and heavy so there $1000 is probably more like $400 or $500 which they still are making a little money but not as much as they say and really not worth all the trouble for a couple hundred dollars that might take weeks to make just depending on how fast the stuff sells so in the end this method is not worth it.
People that watch these video know that there are fees it's not a secret. I never say 1000$ profit. 1000$ selling price. When we did this full time our sell through rate was around 77% over 30 days. The rest would usually sell the next 30 days. EBay and PayPal fees are around 12% or so. As far as shipping rates the prices I quote is the selling price WITHOUT free shipping so the customer pays the shipping not us. Usually because eBay gives you a discount on shipping you actually make a few bucks on the shipping. So over 1k selling would usually profit us more like $800-$850. So your a little off but that's ok.
HAHAHA, this guy is so funny! Years ago I had the idea of reselling although, I never really did it because I have been working full time. Why are there so many u tube videos showing this though? Of course those greedy Goodwill bastards have caught on!
You know thrift stores are generally aimed towards people that are less fortunate and may need some of these things you guys buy have you ever thought of that? I mean you guys buy that printer purely to resell or even that Internet modem. Does this ever dawn on you?
James S I think that the "less fortunate" could careless about a label printer or internet modem. If they were buying out all the children's clothes and coats from thrift stores then you would have a point! What are you doing watching this if you're so concerned?
Melissa Cochran I can watch what i want and this was in a recommended video tab so i watched it. and i'm not sure if you have kids but from as old as you look in your photo i assume you do but internet is a necessity in school nowadays no matter what grade you are. and i'm not sure the last time you bought a modem but they're fairly expensive and i know plenty of less fortunate families that couldn't afford to pay for a new one. And it's really the principle of the matter these people gloat about how little they spend and how big of a profit they can make and then other people see it and even more people see it then sooner or later theres nothing left or the stores start to price accordingly to fight resellers. Im a game collector mostly retro games i despise resellers but i won't step foot in any type of thrift store because i can afford the games from a retail shop or even pawn shops. Yeah id love to get a really expensive game for cheap but I'm a strong believer in lead by example and i've told a few local friends this same thing and they stopped looking at thrift stores. SO does that give you a good explanation or you want an even more in depth one?
+FadingToaster 406 If that was true then why would the thrift stores be selling this shit if the people they help need the shit they are selling? You make no sense
you put some cream in there and it shocks the shit outta your face....OMG...that line had me laughing so hard, I literally cried...LOL tHIS IS DEF GOING TO BE SUBSRIBED TO
Yes, how dare Goodwill trying to keep their stores open, lights on, employees paid, and their programs funded.
Yes how dare them.
how dare they build completely new buildings for ever single store and make their over head so high that they have to over charge people for junk that is donated to the store for free .. I can buy new clothing at walmart cheaper than they are charging for shirts for instance i bought 2 tank tops no holes never worn or washed .. for $7 and at goodwill the same tanks would have been $9 so yeah HOW DARE THEY .

there is no way in hell you sold all that trash

AWESOME Aerogarden find!!!
yes some of the stuff you find does retail for the prices you said... but brand new. call me crazy but why would i buy a used item with no instructions, no packaging when i could be the same thing in a box brand new for the same price?
I really appreciate your insight. I get a little myopic and your videos open my eyes to new categories to sell. Have a great day Brother!
I think it's more than making a living . It's a hobby and super fun finding stuff for cheap that worth a lot of money. I don't personally do this but I understand the concept. just thought all the people who don't understand should see this. Also the ones saying they get it for next to nothing and charge a lot should take into consideration the time they put into it. You're watching a video with the boring parts cut out. It's not as easy as you think. There so many ppl doing the same thing . As well as them selling it at higher prices .

I haven't been to Goodwill in months, because they truly are some greedy dogs. The Goodwill outlet we have is a madhouse. Salvation Army and DAV stores are cheaper where I live. Great job guys! It's amazing what you can find while picking.
I just did an advance search on sold items....that conair touch and tond massager brings about 12 bucks.
Good vid with great finds! Not everything a thrift store does is awesome but they keep us flippers going, so I'm thankful for all of them! Even if sometimes they do weird things.
We have battery/film packs out of the other cameras that we find. We stick them in there and make sure they work -=)
You guys are awesome my partner and I are just getting started, we love your videos keep doing what you do. May you guys continue to prosper
you can still find stuff i found a 200 dollar 400 disc cd player for 20 bucks at goodwill.
I love it!
I want to thank you so much for this video. I was sitting here pondering my future saying:
"What do I want to do? Do I want to go back and get a programming job and join that rat race again doing generally useless and really hard stuff, making someone else rich?"
No. I don't! I think I'm going to give what you guys are doing a try!
I like going into thrift shops anyways. Never thought of making money doing it!
Oh I would think you'd have to be in a big city to do this?
Jacob Becomes Israel The city needs to be big enough that there are at least 30 or more yardsales listed on a Saturday between Craigslist and the local newspaper classifieds. Goodwill is not where it's at, in my area. The prices are too high. Yardsales are the way to go.
Jacob Becomes Israel Obviously you don't have to go to 30 yardsales in one day. You might his 5 good ones in one day and be done.
You are a good eBay seller.
Kind of funny to hear about Goodwill being greedy. Entertaining video. That Lacoste shirt is worth $100 new in France. I’d say $40 used in good condition no pb. $3.95 m, if it’s new is one if the best clothing deal ever.
Goodwill regional managers make 300 to 400k per year the CEO makes over a half mil. Did a research paper on it in school. Oh and they pay disabled workers less than half minimum wage. I have boycotted the northern Oregon stores and encourage all to do the same. Southern Or seems to have scruples still so I am able to make a profit and have a clear conscience. Great videos BTW I love your attitudes!
Thats why i am looking to hook up with a productive girl like yours , and not a consumer one
10 to 15 bucks for a tivo remote? hhahaha more like 4 bucks
It depends on who is managing the store. Some are cheap and sone are sky high. Word of advice on your polaroids wait till you have 10 then list at a buy it now of 140-160 offer international calculated shipping. You will sell them in a heartbeat. Usually overseas but awesome profit!!!

We always charge shipping on anything over 13oz. If you don't, you're losing money
+Gilldaddy I charge the shipping, and people buy. Must be doing something right!
I learned a lot in this video. Very good.
Ah so goodwill got crazy expensive to compete with ebay?
actually goodwill has been in the antiques and resale business since before ebay - they hire professional researchers for their items and have their own auction site
I hate it when they price things for the price you would get it everywhere else. They get most of their stuff for free. Ive found that nowadays you have to have a vast knowledge of stuff. There are always things they don't even know what it is so they can't just look it up.
On one of your videos you mentioned you don't use the ebay app on your phone. What do you use to look up selling prices then?
How do you know routers and modems and printers work before getting them home to sell?..
Cool, but people need to keep in mind their costs traveling to the thrift stores. Of course, if one does this by the rules, you pay tax on your profit, but you also get to deduct expenses, like your mileage, if you keep the proper records.
Some good finds! Almost anything sealed will get a good price.
How do you know if the electronic items still work? Do thrift stores etc. let you test them?
Every time, before I begin picking, I say in my head..
" I am grateful for what I find today" .
I ALWAYS do this.
It is not directed at Jesus, Allah, Buddha, Odin, Anubis, Loki, Ra, or any of the hundreds of other "One hit wonders" of gods past.

You could also collect aluminum cans or stand near a busy intersection with a sign too.

Gilldaddy
good will has their own on line ebay esque auctions site BTW where they put the high dollar stuff .
some of those prices can't be real right? I mean something that used at 10:15 going for 100$ wouldn't it be more like 15 to 25 maybe...maybe
Lol...I remember the infomercial for that mask.
what kind of stuff sells quick on eBay or Craigslist I hate waiting to get stuff stoled ty for the video it was helpful
How do u know thhe prices of what they will sell for while you in the stores?
You guys inspire to be out there everyday now !
Do you guys makes any money on the big heavy items after Ebay fees and shipping?
do you test the polaroids? or do you sell as is? film is expensive.
By the time you pay for the item, shipping, Ebay fees, and gas for your car to go to Goodwill, this might seem like your not making much money on your items that are only worth about 15 bucks.
How do you guys prefer to ship those receiver units? Do you ship them using bubble wrap or packing peanuts?
We wrap them in bubble wrap and pack them in peanuts. The thing you have to watch for with electronics is that they are completely enclosed. If those peanuts get into the inside, it can ruin them. Make sure they are not exposed to the peanuts directly.

Good idea on flipping thrift shop bargains! But the senior discount? Am i missing something?
That store didn't have a button for military discount :)
+Gilldaddy Ahhh, OK lol
Well, it is about time I get a hater. I always thought people donate stuff to first, get rid of it, and second to help out the charity organization that the thrift store represents. At least that's why I donate stuff. The thrift stores are still getting the same amount of money from me as they would from whoever else purchases it. Even better the sick kids or whatever the charity they help is making money from me. The best part is I make money by giving money to help charity. ;)
Are the items actually selling within a reasonable amount of time?
How do you test things like that camera before buying? I've passed up lots of that kind of stuff because there is no guarantee that it works. Do you guys just chance it?
We can't always test everything that we buy. If it's at a weigh and pay, it's a risk you take. If it's at a ts, we usually have 7 days to return if it doesn't work
I find this kind of sad. Dont really know why.
Lol thanks!
You feel bad selling vintage items? Or your life sucks because you don't do it?
I find it kind of sad you are Jewish and don't even know why I am Native American, and my people also experienced genocide. Why do you find it kind of sad indeed? Your move...
Does ebay make you wait 90 days to get paid even if you meet the other requirements when you first start selling?
Are these "sold for" prices that youre estimating? Or "listed at" prices?
Your wife's cute man!. How much would you put her up for on eBay (Hypothetically of course, hehe). I don't mind buying ANYTHING 2nd hand!
;) thanks, you couldn't afford me hehe
Hellwig64275 You find that acute herpes scar on her upper lip attractive do you?
Haha, not on this face ;)
Gilldaddy My mistake. It's actually the lower lip. It's right there in the thumbnail!
Nope!
Is this $100,000 year before after you pay taxes?
And is this before or after you buy gas, maintenance, shipping,etc...??
I say good for anyone that is willing to hustle and work hard to make a living....
Thank you for sharing!
We don't sell on eBay anymore but when we did we made around 60-70k a year after everything.
It takes money to make money...and scared money dont make money. Quit asking them questions and do it for yourself, Storage Wars is actually a real thing too not just a T.V show
Shipping will be the major cost, specially on those large objects, after ebay & paypal fees, the revenue is around 300
Do you guys ever find comic books or sport cards? I would buy them off you
im about to start doing that too im selling my crap 1st to build some Paypal bank then that. Your video was helpful thank you! It's odd what sells now. I'd think that stuff would be dead but no it refuses and it's a good thing too!
Good info & the price is right!
Is this the fucking Banjo-Kazooie soundtrack? That's awesome.
Anyone hating, these people are exercising their rights as American citizens. The same rights I put my life on the line to defend. If you don't like what they do, then put your life on the line and change it. If you can't or won't, shut the fuck up!!!
I'm just getting into this and doing all my research. I really appreciate Folks like you. I'm still not clear on how you figure your shipping costs?
Why is it called "picking"
I turned in 60k in sales in 2016 on ebay doing just this. I've now added Amazon to my arsenal. Walmart.com is another place
yes and no, you can drop ship from Walmart.com but you can also sell on walmart.com same way you do on Amazon. for instance if you do a search for an item, and walmart wharehouses are out of that item it will show it is still available for purchase because someone else is selling it.
You still have those It depends?
What stores he is using to buy? Fritz stores??
Thank you for sharing these videos!
they are greedy? says the ones that goes around and buys crap and sell it on ebay
your logic is flawed
Tell me how?
DrFuntimes
How do you explain common sense to someone who has none
How did you get the 10% "senior discount"?
Hehe its military discount but they don't have a button for that
What's the song
Goodwill is shit. I don't even go there anymore because their stuff is priced absurd lately. I stick to other thrift stores.
I haven't used my account to sell anything for some time but recently decided to sell a few things. I sold one item for $65 and Ebay takes out $6.50? and then paypal takes out another like $3? Those fees seem really high! Is this what they commonly do now? I don't remember it being 10%+ in fees! ouch
yes on average I pay 15% in fees between the two - they now charge a percentage of your shipping fees - and and - I have found that paypal and ebay have charged like 5 and even 6 times for one shipping label - so get this if I had bought say a $10 shipping label I have found they had charged me 6 times for it !!!!
A new site called BONANZA does not charge for listings, and their fees are very low. It is basically another Ebay that has become popular recently. They also use Paypal and you can get a discount on shipping for USPS.
How often do you hit local areas up and how far do you drive out ?
Also how much does shipping run on the bigger items ?
+Zackary Anderson They end up loosing money with shipping fees and shit like that you can tel they're noobs paying a whole lot just to amke 10 dollars and then pay for shipping
When we thrifter, we went daily. Different stores every day. We would go probably 30 miles out at the most. Different things cost different shipping amounts. The buyer pays shipping
Dont mind the haters man. Just jealous! I have been on YT for awhile and you will get the dislikes and negative comments...just ignore them buddy! Keep up the good work,we should collab sometime.
Christ, I fucking love your videos. My aunt makes about 2K+ a month and turn me on to you. I love the videos!
new sub to you...found this very interesting. deff have a bunch of stuff lying around the house i can start with.
that lacoste was FAKE. Easy way to tell, they use a number sizing system, no L, XL, ect.
Aren't Thrift Stores for people who "Can't Afford" retail? Why do people who can obviously afford retail work so hard to drive the prices up?
DAMN YOU GUYS LOOK GOOD FOR GETTING SENIOR DISCOUNT!!!!
No button for military lol
good luck sell all that old outdated crap, and specially the exaggerating prices you two give them
gettingbigforskinny believe what you want. First this video is not new. We have not sold on eBay in a long while. I have videos that show our sales on eBay in 30 days when we did. We only sell our own branded products on Amazon now. Your right though I purposely exaggerated prices because.... wait not sure why I would do that.
What was the brand of that skirt?
It look like DKNY on the tag.
How much does it cost to ship this stuff?
Different things cost different amounts but the buyer pays the shipping cost on everything so we don't stress on shipping prices
By the way I do thrift haul videos and kill it on eBay!
Is that song from Enchanted Forest???
one thing they are not telling is all the fees charged from ebay and paypal and then the high shipping cost for most of the stuff they are selling because it is big and bulky and heavy so there $1000 is probably more like $400 or $500 which they still are making a little money but not as much as they say and really not worth all the trouble for a couple hundred dollars that might take weeks to make just depending on how fast the stuff sells so in the end this method is not worth it.
People that watch these video know that there are fees it's not a secret. I never say 1000$ profit. 1000$ selling price. When we did this full time our sell through rate was around 77% over 30 days. The rest would usually sell the next 30 days. EBay and PayPal fees are around 12% or so. As far as shipping rates the prices I quote is the selling price WITHOUT free shipping so the customer pays the shipping not us. Usually because eBay gives you a discount on shipping you actually make a few bucks on the shipping. So over 1k selling would usually profit us more like $800-$850. So your a little off but that's ok.
Do you sell on AZ as well?
Just started
HAHAHA, this guy is so funny!
Years ago I had the idea of reselling although, I never really did it because I have been working full time. Why are there so many u tube videos showing this though? Of course those greedy Goodwill bastards have caught on!
LA-COST like that.
haha no doubt. love them.
It will be a cold day in hell if you find any DVD player or SONY digital camera for less than $20 in any thrift store. Where do you live, Alaska ?
You know thrift stores are generally aimed towards people that are less fortunate and may need some of these things you guys buy have you ever thought of that? I mean you guys buy that printer purely to resell or even that Internet modem. Does this ever dawn on you?
James S I think that the "less fortunate" could careless about a label printer or internet modem. If they were buying out all the children's clothes and coats from thrift stores then you would have a point! What are you doing watching this if you're so concerned?
i
Melissa Cochran I can watch what i want and this was in a recommended video tab so i watched it. and i'm not sure if you have kids but from as old as you look in your photo i assume you do but internet is a necessity in school nowadays no matter what grade you are. and i'm not sure the last time you bought a modem but they're fairly expensive and i know plenty of less fortunate families that couldn't afford to pay for a new one. And it's really the principle of the matter these people gloat about how little they spend and how big of a profit they can make and then other people see it and even more people see it then sooner or later theres nothing left or the stores start to price accordingly to fight resellers. Im a game collector mostly retro games i despise resellers but i won't step foot in any type of thrift store because i can afford the games from a retail shop or even pawn shops. Yeah id love to get a really expensive game for cheap but I'm a strong believer in lead by example and i've told a few local friends this same thing and they stopped looking at thrift stores. SO does that give you a good explanation or you want an even more in depth one?
+James S Perhaps you should blame the government and wall street for the economic collapse that has forced people to do this?
+FadingToaster 406 If that was true then why would the thrift stores be selling this shit if the people they help need the shit they are selling? You make no sense
Thanks! Cool.
