Thought I saw a RAT jump at @1:50, but it was only the lady behind tossing a shirt across. Phew!

Your resourcfulness tip really hits home! My first like, 3 years of reselling was mostly a minimalist journey, selling old textbooks and clothing that I didn't wear, 3 or 4 sales a month, with my full time job. Then I realized people did this for a living and started asking my family and friends for the stuff they had planned on giving to goodwill anyway, started thrifting for inventory not long after that, Now I have an extra room in my house for all my inventory, quit my full time job a few months ago and have been on the journey of figuring out what kind of business I want, thank you for all the tips and super helpful info!!

I am new to selling but I love to thrift shop I am in my 60's and have enough stuff in my house that I don't need I could sell with out going to thrifting for about a year

I really LOVE his slogan…”Make progress daily” I cannot tell you how much it motivates me! Thank you for what you do

My favorite example of the profit to be made from elbow grease was a beautiful white lace blouse that I got for less than $1 at the Goodwill bins. Someone had spilled what seemed like an entire cup of coffee on it. I got it cleaned up, photographed it nicely, and sold it for $20. 😎

I owed my first business for 15yrs..The last 6 minutes of this video is EVERYTHING

Agreed. I made a mistake in the beginning. I bought a target pallet, I didn't have enough space and truthfully it stressed Me out. I started going through what I have listing more than sourcing. This helped so much on my sales and "cleaning up" I have no regrets learning is important and thanks to KZfaq people like you, I've only improved.

I still saving up for better lighting, so thank you for suggesting taking pictures outside in the shade!!! 😎

As always, thank you for the advice!👍

Thanks Chris as always invaluable guidance 👊🏼👊🏼

Thank you. Learning a lot from all your videos. Really appreciate you and your team. Many thanks

Good video Chris, thanks for the wisdom.

Thank you for taking your time to share your knowledge and experiences. It's all very helpful and appreciated!

One of the best videos I have watched that’s been helpful , Thank you so so much , and I’ve been selling for a little bit but you have pointed out several things I need to straighten out . So helpful . Thanks again what a blessing you are …

I really enjoy your content - always learn something new :)

You are so generous with your knowledge! I learn something new every time I watch your videos. I truly appreciate you. Thank you

A really honest informative video good stuff !

Can't get enough of the wisdom on your channel so signed up for the pateron membership which is great value, thank you.

Do your research on every item, ran into a Nike Jordan Cactus Jack T -shirt at store for $14 sold for $180. Get to know everything in your niche. Love your videos, really motivating, keep up the great work.

Wow. That's such excellent advice for any sort of business and especially this one. I really appreciate you taking the time to share. You did a great job summarizing this concisely

Solid info. Much appreciated.

You are amazing, thank you for sharing.

Totally in my head with these tips. I'm guilty about buying more than I can chew because of space but I have taking notice and began to think before I buy buy buy. It's more of a hobby atm with just selling dvd, books, and board games. Granted I'm not making 100s of dollars a month but it's fun to see how things you buy for $1 can be worth 10x or even more.

I enjoy your videos they are very helpfull. Thank you

Awesome content, thanks

Thank you so much for this information!! I was clicking the like button and not sure why it clicked as a dislike and then I tried again, it was the same for 3 times until I was able to correct the mistake. Not sure why KZfaq would dislike when I was clearly clicking 👍. Thank you for this videos mostly this one. Made me realize a mistake I made that I have to fix. Single mom here making a good living and fixing details through your information. Appreciate it!! 🙂

Another great video!

Love watching your videos and hearing the podcast with tech that you used to post here weekly. Will you continue? Haven’t seen an upload in a while. Did I miss something? Thank you for the invaluable tips.

Another great one

Great video 😊

great vlog

The beginning looks like my death pile when I first started on eBay 🤣

Loved the video thanks for sharing! Question how do you keep your clothes from getting odours and smelling fusty in storage?? Any tips much appreciated ❤❤❤❤❤❤

Woooow! What amazing super secrets!

Good info

👍 good stuff

Thank you Chris. God bless you and your family. 🙏

I used to have a route of about 5 or so thrift stores per day 6 days a week and I found most of my home run items at the same thrift store that I would go to at opening every day. I spent about 3 hours per day sourcing and 1-2 hours listing. I was making a few grand or more profit per month doing that and only spent about 30 hours a week or less depending on how many items I had to list.

Beginners pls read: Your beginner advice is KILLER! Idk if newbies really value how true ur advice is…as example i started goin to nike outlets at beginning bc i LOVE nike/athleisure…also almost everything sells…problem is wit things like sneakers, u listing for higher amount….not everyone lookin fkr expensive sneakers all time…so they can take longer, which if ur capital ($$$) low, this can kill ur biz and ur motivation….i was watvhin wrong youtubers who had me buy studio lights, branding my closet, and just wasting soooo much time and energy….now i have giant mannequin and studio box lights that lengthen pic process by a lot…tryin to reuse lights and cut boxes up to make a giant light box shelf like u….if u new to this, please dont make my same mistakes! I promise if u follow this channel from beginning YOU WILL BE SET UP FOR SUCCESS My main problem is i am in nyc area and have tooooooo many options for thrifting but also cost of goods is higher here…havent done gw bins yet but have two relatively close to me….although nyc gw bin shoppers scare the F out of me too…just feel like it HAS to b pretty crazy there

Thank you from Germany :-)))))

Im 16 so im waiting till I’m 18 and for now I’m gaining knowledge so thx to u I’m learning alot. Your content has lots of great tips

I had a guy yesterday I always see at the GW, he has full-time job and goes to GW everyday after work he handed me 2 items and said these are good and I don't have time to list and too much inventory piling up unlisted ...I told him, you love to pick and I have the help and the store volume to sell it quicker, ypu Pick and I'll pay a little bit over, save me time, let you enjoy picking without the hassle and a quick turn around, could work for both of us.

I just saw an animal move behind you and dive into the pile of clothing .... it was hard to see exactly what is was but I think it was a bird! Don't want your inventory covered in bird poop!!

Do you remove items from your store that haven’t sold after being listed for a while? Thank you for sharing your knowledge!

Hi. Love your channel. I'm a recent sub and I was wondering, if sourcing wholesale pallets, how often should I order them? Weekly, biweekly, monthly...etc

We have a community dumpster for our apartment and every once in a while someone throws away a bag of clothes or electronics/different products that are in visibly good condition. I try to grab them and check them out but my husband acts like I'm absolutely insane 😆 Even if it's not worth flipping I like to at least donate it to my local homeless shelter. It drives me nuts seeing people throw away tons of perfectly good items. Sometimes they'll sit the items on the ground so others can take it but most of the time they throw it in the dumpster.

Great advice. Where do you get those plastic zipper bags? Those look great for storing garnets that you're arbitraging from eBay?

10k budget? Your nuts, i dont know a single person starting out with 10k to throw stupidly into this.

Any suggestions for getting clothing cheap? Yard sales seems like a tough way, would have to hit so many of them and spend time and money finding one that has decent clothes. The thrift stores where I'm at in orange county California price jeans at $10-20, t shirts are $6-15. Which sounds crazy but that's how it is now out here.

Awesome

Here in Phoenix the competition T the thrift stores is fierce. If you aren’t there at the roll out, then you are out of luck. A route with roll out timing is a must here if you are hitting thrifts.

Nice Pliny hat

Love your content i am based in NEW ZEALAND and about 2 years ago (WE have a site here called trademe the NZ variant of ebay) i started buying moving blankets off someone on this site and started reselling them on the same site i was selling 100's then he ran out and i had people wanting repeat orders so i imported half a container from china and sold out anyway fast forward i just bought a 20ft container at half the price i paid for the last lot and new shipment due jan 12 2023 so it is cheaper when you buy more is all i can say cheers keep up the good work

what was that thing moving around behind you in the vlog at tip #1 a rat?

One full week, 133 active 11 sold for $247.00. I have a couple bins of cloths I received for free some with tags still on them. (most are cheap, not brand name) are they worth the time? Oh, I sold a canoe and accessories on FB for $650 . I destroyed my shoulder and my paddling days are over. Made back what I paid.

When buyer sends an offer and you accept the offer. Buyer doesnt pay/cancel within 1hr than later says they want to cancel the order. Per ebay rules buyers have 1hr to cancel their offers accepted. But after they're committed to the buy. If a buyer asks to cancel order after 1hr do you still cancel order for them or just wait for ebay to auto cancel the order to avoid a defect? Thanks! Went from above standard > below standard > above > top rated

Pleasant Hill Contra Costa Blvd & GW W.C. was meh - every time I've gone thru. Danville a total bust. Salinas really sucked. Palo Alto not too bad, but not worth the drive from east bay. Livermore is hit or miss, but more nice stuff - $6.99 - $8.99+ /clothing items for all - GW shoes all $15.99 - they are set like a franchise. The time suck was notable. I think we forget to count the hours. Plus on mileage write off.

Was that a rabbit jumping in the back ground?????

How long do you keep items that have not sold

Hey Chris! What's up with your eBay store?

I recently sold a Uniden police scanner for $275.00, and $10.00 flat rate shipping. It had 1 view. The next day I sold a Canon camera for $199.00 and $10.00 flat rate shipping. 0 views. I can't understand.

Do you take pictures now out of your storage unit

Chris - still wanna know where your pants from? Which brand? What kind or type? Seem mad comfortable. I’d like to buy.

just go out and find a lot of madewell jeans huh. Well here in Florida people shop at Walmart and all the thrifts and bins are filled with garbage clothing. It would be much easier if we all shopped in California.

Hi, how do you report taxes on purchases from the mall or ross etc for resale? I'm almost clear on how it's done when purchasing secondhand but I have seen alot about retail for resale being different. Thanks in advance😊

how come your eBay store is not active? I tried the link...

WHAT FLIES BY IN THE BACKGROUN AT 2:07

Madewell jeans at $20 and over have a 7% sell through. Are you sourcing certain styles with a higher rate?

Share all the secrets with the competition??

I have never seen either of those brands out thrifting here in my area of Florida

I am a new seller. I am trying to sell things that I have home. I sold an item and after a month ups returned it saying that "unable to forward" What do you think I should do please?

Chris, I found that the only way to survive now is buying items in bulk and making connections with people with inventory. Going to the thrift store now to find items isn't profitable!

Question man. When you say turn $5 to $20 are you also accounting for ebay fees and shipping or just gross sale in general?

😎💪

Don't forget fees, packing supplies ect

Hey Chris, I took all my listings down (around 3K) and I scheduled 15 a day (average). I am having no sales… What you think?

Two words. Goodwill outlet

✌️👍🙏

Ok...Chris something jumped from one rack to another behind you around the 1:50 mark 😬 just wanted to let you know. Keep me up dated....

Ok....🤭🤭🤭read futher. Sorry 😆😆

lol They call Ebay...Fleabay. I wonder why...?

Who pays for the gas??
