Could you share your organization and inventory process? Your videos are so enjoyable to watch 😊

@@allym8232 Hey! Yes recently I filmed a work with me for a day vlog where I briefly went over my inventory area and systems. Now I just need to edit it so I can upload it. But it should be out soon! Happy you're enjoying the videos so far! ♥️🥰

When you find shoes that don’t have a size number, how do you actually know which size these shoes are?

I personally haven't found a pair of shoes that doesn't have the size either inside or on the bottom of the sole. But I have seen some people measure the shoes in order to give an estimate of the size. I'm sure you could even Google the measurements of the bottom of the shoe and what that would equate to in a US shoe size.❤️

He's by far my best find ever! Happy you enjoyed it! 🥰♥️

Thank you!! I love finding treasures!! 🎉 I have seen some negative videos about reselling going downhill lately but I do notice that negativity gets more views so I think that could be an additional motive for those topics. I'm only one person but from my personal experience of reselling for 6 years is that it only continues to go up hill. There are definitely highs and lows, but that goes for any job or business you just have to ride it out and shift when needed. If I were you I would definitely keep on going! Reselling has brought me so much joy and I hope it does for you too!!♥️🥰

So happy you enjoyed it! Thank you! I'm very blessed to have them! 🥰♥️

Thank you! Wow what a great compliment! So happy you're taking value from them! ♥️☺️

Haha glad you can relate!! 😂♥️

Thank you! I love that I get to find clothes for myself that are high quality and for a low price! ❤️

Yay! That's awesome! I'm sure they're going to sell so fast! Thank you for watching. ❤️🥰

Yay!! That's so awesome! Thank you for sharing! Really glad that you're finding value from the videos. 🤗☺️

Thank you! I definitely feel very fortunate to have the thrift stores that I do. It definitely wasn't always this way. I used to live in a rural area and so I would have to drive two and a half hours each way to go to any sort of decent thrift store. I hope that you find amazing treasures next time that you go out. Thank you for watching! 🥰♥️

I hope you find tons of amazing items the next time you go out!! 🤞❤️🥰

Thank you!! I'll keep them! 🥰♥️

Thank you!! What a great compliment. 🥰

He's the best! I'm very blessed with my little family. 🥰❤️

@@ThriftandThriveMarita you are blessed love and your such a sweet person. I can tell the first time I saw your video. Keep up the good work I’m getting my stuff ready to film and maybe I can send you my first video which I just know will be cringe worthy lol.🙋🏻‍♀️🤗

Thank you!! So happy you're enjoying them so far!❤️🥰

Thank you so much!! I'm very flattered! 🥰♥️

So happy you're enjoying them so far! ♥️🥰

Thank you!! 🥰♥️

Thank you!! Haha they definitely were!! ♥️😂

Thank you! I hope that you're finding great things too! ♥️🥰

Thank you! So happy you're enjoying them! I recorded a day in the life/my work day video where I show and briefly go over my inventory. I need to edit it and post it! ♥️

I hope you're finding great items too! 🤞❤️

Thank you! ♥️

Thank you! Hope you're finding great stuff too! ♥️

Thank you! I hope you're finding some good stuff too! ❤️

Hey! So happy you're enjoying it so far! Thank you. ♥️🥰

They always find me! 😂

Thank you for watching! 🥰♥️

Oh my goodness that makes me so happy to hear!! I'm so happy you're getting value from the videos so far! 🥰♥️

Haha glad you liked their little appearances. 🥰♥️

Thank you! I personally have good luck with Garnet Hill especially if it's a good material and/or a larger size. If you do find some I hope it works out for you too! ♥️🥰

Haha thank you. I'm pretty lucky. 🥰☺️

Haha mine too! I have quite a few pictures on my phone of my helpers posing with my clothes. 😂

Thank you! I'm always learning so thank you for the information! Definitely good to know. 🥰♥️

Thank you!

Yay! I'm so happy you're enjoying them! That means a lot to me!♥️ So I used to be a barista and loved it! Then my husband and I found out that we were having twins and we already had a kiddo and I didn't know how I was going to pay for babysitting/daycare for 3 so I found reselling online. I really dove into it and within 1 years I was making as much as I was at my job+tips and setting all that money aside for an emergency fund so I could quit. Then a little bit after that I started making more and was able to quit. My husband was also able to take off his last year of work while finishing college and just my reselling alone was able to cover all of our bills, expenses and then also set money aside for a down payment on a house. I hope you can make it a full time job!! ♥️🥰 Wishing you only the best of luck! 🤞

Haha thanks!😂

Thank you for your feedback. I really appreciate that! I will be sure to keep adding keywords and prices! ♥️🥰

I'm going to do a video soon of all my processes throughout the whole week. ❤️🥰

That's awesome!

Hey! Great question. I look everything up on eBay whenever I'm checking comps on an item. So happy that you're enjoying the videos so far and that you're taking value from them. If you ever have any questions, feel free to leave me a comment. I'm always happy to help as best I can!❤️🥰

Thank you for the information I had no clue! Glad you're enjoying the channel so far! Thank you for watching!! ❤️

Yeah I'm on the East side. I've only gone shopping in Seattle once and I found some good stuff. I bet you find treasures all the time! ♥️

Thank you for watching!! ♥️

Thank you! Before I moved I lived in a very rural area where I had to drive 2 1/2 hours one way to go to a decent thrift store so I definitely appreciate my local stores now! I typically find a good amount of items when I shop for a couple hours, but I've definitely had some dry trips too. 🥰♥️

@@ThriftandThriveMarita wow I hear ya , way too far to thrift !! Do you have buy sell trade stores near you ? I love going to them to unload inventory that is not selling fast . So nice to have cash on the spot ;)

Of course! Happy you're getting value from the videos. I've never found a pair of shoes from that brand. Hopefully soon!❤️

@@ThriftandThriveMarita I haven't found many shoes from that brand either 😂

@@paranormalnora maybe we'll both find a pair the next time we go out! 🤞

@@ThriftandThriveMarita let's hope 😂

Hey! No they had the original insoles in.☺️

Hey! Great question! I typically list around $5-$10 higher than what I think it should sell for. ❤️🥰

Hey! Thank you! So as of lately I've been really consistent about checking comps and sell-through rate on the items and I'm picking up. So for the most part they're selling pretty well. As far as duds that I've gotten in the past, which was a lot! I actually don't do anything with them except maybe run some sales on them. Recently I've sold quite a few items that I picked up 1.5-2 years ago. Some items just take a little more time than others.

Hey! So I honestly don't do any cleaning on shoes other than maybe wipe them with a wet wipe. I try and pick up shoes in good condition and if they are flawed or have any items that could be considered an imperfect I just provide photos. I'm pretty lazy when it comes to cleaning shoes. 🤦‍♀️♥️

Hey! Happy you're enjoying them! Some of their pieces will sit for me too. What I do is I try and only pick up their blazers, jackets, high quality material items and larger sizes. Those seem to move quickly for me.❤️

Thank you! Happy you're enjoying them! I haven't really looked into doing Whatnot yet. The idea of doing live shows kinda makes me nervous. Haha. Have you done one?

I haven't but I am thinking about it. Probably a great way to move some items.

From what I've been hearing it definitely sounds like a fast way to move out inventory. If you do one let me know how it goes!

Hey! Not sure if I'm understanding your question correctly. But I don't have a death pile. By the time my items are all posted it's time for me to go back to the store for more inventory. Since my cost of goods are a little higher, I try and make sure that I'm picking up items that have a good sell-through rate. That way I'm not holding on to them for a while and I'm able to get my investment back plus profit. Hope that answered the question. If not let me know. ♥️🥰

Hey Lynn! So I use a magic eraser for the white rubber bottoms of the shoes. As for the soles I don't do much other than a quick wipe down. Thank you for watching! Hope you're having a great Monday so far! ❤️

@@ThriftandThriveMarita yes. Great. On your channel as usual !! I love you. FYI. Peter Millar. Pronounce Millar at the end like large not miller. Figured you would like to know that!!

😊😊😊😊😊❤️❤️❤️

Thank you! ❤️🙏

Hey! Yay! Happy you're enjoying them! So I personally would pick up an item for $5 if I knew it could flip for 20 to 25 but only if the sell through rate was at or over 100%. That way you'd be making that 10 to $15 profit back really quickly. ❤️🥰

Hey, no I don't. I try to only pick up shoes that are in good condition. The most cleaning that I do for shoes is use a wet wipe. Haha I'm lazy when it comes to cleaning shoes. 🤦‍♀️♥️

Hey! So I personally do both. I go to a goodwill in the more expensive part of town and then I also go into the city. I think you can find amazing items in both. ♥️🥰

I should do what?

Do a try on haul?

@@ThriftandThriveMarita lol yes try on haul , that's what I meant lol.

Yes everyone is asking for it, Try On Haul. what you think? will we get some videos.

Where are people asking for that? Haha I haven't seen any of those comments.

Hey! You type into the eBay search the item that you're specifically looking for and then you will see a number of how many active listings there are. Then on the right hand filter you click on the sold button and then it will provide you with a number of how many of that item has sold. If the number of active listings is the same as the sold number that's 100% sell through rate. If the number of sold listings is more than the active listings that's over 100% sell through rate. Hope that helps! ❤️🥰

Hey! So I go Mondays right around when they open because that's when I drop my kiddos off at school. Then I typically stay there for around 3 hours per store. I like to go to the stores that are more so in the city and then I also like to go to the ones that are in higher income neighborhoods. ♥️

@@ThriftandThriveMarita thank you for replying! Also, can you share what camera are using to film?

Hey! I pick up anything that I think I can flip for a good amount. Occasionally I'll get lucky and find a few half off items but that's typically only if I go on the day that they switch over the sale tag color. So happy you're taking value so far from the videos! Happy to hear that your store is doing well!! ♥️🥰

Hey! I'm so sorry to hear you guys are sick!! And pneumonia that's rough! 😥 So right now one of my twins is sick too. So they've been home with me the past couple days and I also have winter break coming up next week. So what I'm doing is I wake up at 5:30 in the morning so I can take my pictures , measure, package and inventory just the items that I'm listing that day. And that way the rest of the day I can just cuddle on the couch with my sick cutie and post my listings from my phone. But I'm not sick right now, so honestly if you're sick I would just try and sleep in as much as you can and relax. And then once you guys are feeling better, you can get back to the swing of work. You don't want to overdo it and then make it so that you stay sick longer!! ❤️❤️❤️

I'm in Washington. Do your Goodwills look different? ♥️

Hey, I typically try not to pick up items that I think I'd need to wash but I do steam treat all of them which just means I use a steamer and that disinfects the item. ☺️

@@ThriftandThriveMaritaI do the same❤❤

♥️

Hey! Yes, what I've noticed is that December slows down because people are more interested in buying new items for other people. They're not really looking to buy pre-owned clothes at the moment. But then after December people have their Christmas money and sales pick back up! Reselling is definitely a roller coaster! Congrats on your first year!! ❤️🎉🥰

@@ThriftandThriveMarita I learned so much from you. Thank you greatly appreciated

I'm so happy you're getting value from the channel! Thank you for watching! 🥰❤️

I've only found it a few times before this time and never this many. I'm wondering if a hospital or clinic donated them because I know some places provide scrubs for their workers. I go shopping once a week sometimes I'll go two times if I don't find enough the first time. Right now I list 10 items every day on both eBay and Poshmark. I filmed a day in the life/work with me but I still need to edit it. A whole week's flow would be a good idea too! I'll have to work on making one ♥️

♥️

I'm from Washington. ❤️🌲 I've noticed that every State seems to find different brands.

Washington state or DC?😄
