Today I've got more of a raw concept so let me know what you think and if you'd like to see more! No editing, just a raw video of how to package up different items that I sold on eBay and Amazon.

I get my boxes from a local public auction house. About once a month they will have a new bundle of one size and you can get them for $5-10 for 25 or so boxes. The dimensions of the boxes also vary month to month! Last month I got five small monitor boxes (29" and smaller monitors or flat screens) for $5. They are very handy for more than monitors and TV's.

@MillennialProfit Ай бұрын
@@Chase-tr9ry I too, had the same exact mindset until I started selling a ton of the same item. When I was selling a lot of hats, it was becoming hard to consistently get the right size boxes that would keep them under 8 ounces so hats are the only thing I buy boxes for. Everything else I use scrap boxes for

I’m surprised you don’t use clear plastic bags for hats and jerseys inside the package. Most people say you should have a barrier inside to prevent damage from rain or moisture.
@miracle_flipper Ай бұрын
I have shipped lots of trading cards, most big sellers seal the cards in a plastic bag, I’ve never used them, never had an order water damaged. It’s nice to do, but not doing it hasn’t caused me any problems, including getting only positive feedback
@MillennialProfit Ай бұрын
I’ve sold thousands of jerseys and hats without using clear poly mailers. In my opinion, just anextra cost thats not needed. Too many people are overpacking and losing even more money because of it. Again, though, this is just what I do you don’t have to do it. Everyone’s gotta do what works for them.

Don't forget to tape down the corners of the poly to make the dimensions smaller and cheaper to ship lol. And I live in California, only thing we can afford to buy anymore is on Temu and eBay.
@MillennialProfit Ай бұрын
All the stuff I sell is smaller enough dimensions for it not to matter. I do this in the inter when I’m slinging inflatables but for shoes and hats it has no effect
@cerial0411 Ай бұрын
Thank you. Yes I was wondering how you were not mixing these things up. I seen you had the label with the hat etc. But was like how is he confirming that is the correct hat. So lets get this right. You print off all your labels at once, then write on the backs of all of them what and where they are(which is also a pick list, nice), then as you pick them you tear the labels and tuck them into the product, make a pile, and then ship them. Only possible issue I see in this is if a label wanders off from the warehouse to the package in the process(please go into detail how you prevent this with shirts). But, overall I really like the process as it seems like a very efficient setup.

Would like to see your live shopping and your thought process on what your comping out and what your pricing and what the profit should be on the item. For instance, shoes. Do you comp at double the money or three times money to make it worth buying.
@MillennialProfit Ай бұрын
I'll try to make some more of these, I just honestly dont do a ton of RA anymore, I'm like 90% OA right now. Check out my sourcing playlist and burlington videos though, I try to give my thought process on cops/drops in those and the reasons why. All I'm doing with any of it is checking sell through rates and trying to double my money at the least unless I can do volume and move multiples.

@MillennialProfit Ай бұрын
Yes for items under 3 lbs. Items over I exclude those locations. Either way you do it you should view it as a total price. There’s trending prices on eBay so if an item is trending at $40 free shipping, why would anyone buy yours at $40 plus shipping so you’d want to list at $40 free ship or like $32 plus $8 shipping. I find it easier to just do free shipping. Just make sure you know what things will cost to ship so you don’t get burned on your projections if you do this. The eBay shipping calculator is a great way to learn these rates.

Unfortunately, I can’t give up all that info before they happen for free or it would have an impact on my business and the amount of things that I am able to buy as well as the markets on all of those items. I do give all that info out in my group, but if I were to put it out to the masses for free a lot of the places that I get inventory like that would all get bought up and flood the market. I try to give up as much as I possibly can for free on here. And I always put out videos after the events so you can make a note of when they happened the year before. Like all of the Christmas clearance events that I hit.

Hi, I'm just a small time reseller individual been trying to resell on W.not and on EB, you think it's really necessary to pay them to promote or advertise what I sell? It's clothing I get from a liquidation warehouse I found here in Rochester, NY I honestly haven't been able to sell much only a few pieces here and there and I paid about $680 for that pallet. Also is this the best method to get a hold of you? Or do you have a group on Facebook or anywhere that I may join? Thank you much and blessings!
@MillennialProfit Ай бұрын
If you're buying items with good sell through rates then no theres no reason to pay to promote. I have a group you can join at breadandbutterresell.com but if you're just starting out I wouldnt recommend joining as we're a heavy online/retail arbitrage leads group and you can be very overwhelmed if you're not sure what you're doing. Online and retail arbitrage are risky markets.
