Hood for you. I’m one huge hurdle behind of you and just started my KZfaq though

*Good

yeah before i was only selling new product, just a few minutes ago i learned I'm missing out not selling used product.. exciting stuff

Can you show me?

I used to sell lots of what you sell but it is getting very hard to find good stuff to sell now.I used to get so many things from garage sales and flea markets but getting very tuff now

Its better than being micro managed at a job. Being your own boss is priceless

@@etchosts8162 This is why I've made this my goal. My dad owned his own business for 40 years, so I'm well aware of the drawbacks and challenges that come with it - but at the same time, being your own boss is a massive benefit that can't be understated.

Thanks! This was very helpful. Yes there is a lot to it. I enjoy the sourcing and am still working on expanding my niches and ways to get the best inventory that will actually have demand! I look forward to watching more of your videos.

@John Wick the world will NEVER suffer a shortage of workers.

@@etchosts8162 Absolutely agree. Being your own boss should always be the ultimate goal. Even if you start working a part-time job, you’ll eventually transition to working for yourself.

Right. I only buy stuff I like so if it don't sell I get to use it.

Good statement. I will be doing that this coming year.

It’s not always that easy. Luck and timing also play a big role

@@ChicagoGuy77 you make your own luck and timing

@@maxrosspodcast2352 not that easy buddy 🤣

Exactly

There's so much free access to where you can learn that knowledge with google and youtube that you just have to invest some time into it and make yourself do that not so fun part of the business

@@AyeWall Yeah, there's plenty of info out there. I feel like business is kind of like music though. Like one of those things that some people will never be able to do.

@@wtfyoumeaninvalid i suppose so, not really sure. It came pretty natural to me. I went from what he said of sourcing around my house because it sounded fun to 4mos later i'm doing $6k+ gross a month on just ebay and now doing amazon fba as well.

@@AyeWall Where do you source your products? Are you doing garage sales/thrift stores or did you just go straight into wholesale?

Great advice! Thanks!!

Thanks

Which platform is better EBay or Amazon

gronet75 it honestly depends. I use eBay, Mercari, Poshmark, StockX, GOAT. It all honestly depends on the genre you’re selling. I personally stick to shoes and clothes, but will sometimes branch out on automotive parts if I come across them at an estate sale etc. I mainly stick to retail arbitrage and the goodwill for my findings, but have made decent flips on vintage car parts (since I’m a gear head) lol

@@hectornieves7611 thanks for your answer , I will start on eBay and check the others

gronet75 also don’t forget about Facebook Marketplace and OfferUp! Those are local platforms and I’ve made some sales on those as well.

Daaamn I’m a broke student I will take anything, been selling on vinted and sold 3 items for 30£ 😅 it took a long time to make the first sale after that I’m finding it so much easier

Is vinted a website for selling?

Same here. When I was able to make a few hundred dollars I wasn't able to replicate it

I do that easy

Well if you were doing so great then why did you quit

Good work

Im A+ certified Comptia, 901 902, and tbh...with goodwill and yard/garage sales specifically, if you know how to fix up consoles systems or old computers, you can make up to even 5× or 10× what you paid for them after referbish.

That’s awesome I know it’s not easy that’s why I’m afraid to do it

same here. i sell clothes mostly

Thank you Joseph that’s a great advice to share are you still mainly doing video games VHS books sick DVDs or are you finding other items that you like to sell any antiques Cetera

Underrated? Not really. He’s one of the most popular Pokémon of all time. Pokémon poser.

Cheers jimmy

Thanks Autumn

Hi Gary.. do you know the title of that video? I’ll look for it. Thanks!

I just started selling, a really long time ago a bought a huge lot of strategies. For 20$ got a bunch of Pokémon ones, a bunch in bad condition but about 4 in great condition. I currently just sold the 4 good ones and people are bidding and sending offers on all the beat up ones. BEAT UP, it’s as you say. You gotta make sure it’s desirable and in demand

@@Jp-gc6bh Seriously. I knew a guy once. Found a dead Pikachu on the side of the road. Legend says it's still being bid on to this day.

@@c8h8e8c8k8m8e8o8u8t 🤣

It seems a very good advice.

Thanks Alex

You can do teaching online too

@@tauseefp23 totally, that's what I'm doing. It's not the same and very tough. Appreciate the response.

@@derekmarshall2907 sorry i meant teaching online abroad, its in demand!

Howd you do it any tips for starting?

Thanks for watching!

Nice

Then get a masters degree and get a 50k job

You need the right keywords in the MPN category

That’s what I wouldn’t look forward to

lmao this hit home for me. they list 3 items and let them sit. Easy!

@Canelo, The Man, The Myth, TBE. I've been debating this. I have another business that I have to be here for but I probably need to take a day off now and then and get out of my area to source, even just an hour away.

That’s why I keep my eBay business to myself (£600 profit a week) plus I have a full time job since eBay takes me 1 hour a day. Whoever I tell people about eBay they either think il tell them my main selling item or they think il spoon feed so they don’t have to put in any work lol

I get asked every week, is it easy? I always say no. As for NOT telling people, I don’t recommend it because I have a least 10 people who GIVE me free items to list and they want nothing in return. Just cleaning out their closets.

That’s a solid setup

Thank You!

I agree. I'd like to learn more about it.

The future and the past is always about manufacturing. Or you can say making stuff cheap and sell it for a higher price. If we can all own the mean of producing then it would be amazing.

@@on9francisyu What happened with nanotechnology? Does anyone know?

Hey, Chris! It's Bulbasaur. Kudos!

not true lol. I have $20 tins from 2 years ago that i stocked up on from target, they sell for $69 each now on ebay....Vintage is good, but if you know your stuff, modern pokemon is big money too

Thanks Erin

While I agree with you, I like to think you make the money when you get things listed. So many people just source and end up with the piles of stuff and that’s just being a hoarder

@@commonsense1193 Obviously you need to get things listed to convert that cash. But if you always overpay for items then you are listing to break even and not making a profit. If you dont source at all you dont have anything to list to make a profit. And if you are sourcing too many things and cant sell them again that is also an issue at the point of buying things and not when you sell. When you look to buy things to sell, you need to pay a price that makes sense, you need to buy enough to keep yourself busy, you need to not buy so much that you get overwhelmed and cant list a thing etc. The buying part is the most important part of any reselling business, everything else is work to cash in on that buying.

@@popfuntoplay ok, well apparently you are ready for a debate today after posting that 3 months ago. I however am not, just figured I’d disagree while drinking my coffee. I still disagree but good thing we are all entitled to our own opinion

@@commonsense1193 We all have different opinions, the question is can you learn from others and do others opinions help or hurt. I have had a lot of success reselling items over the years and I like to share my wisdom. We don't need to debate, because my opinion wont change and I suspect yours wont either. I will leave you with a case study. I had a friend who looked to buy large amounts of stuff for cheap then would list 100s of $1-$2 items on ebay. He spent a godawful amount of time listing and he had sales, 1000s a month. He was exhausted and was spending some much time listing packing and shipping and not making much money. I had to spend 6 months convincing him to stop with the cheap stuff, put more of that time he wasted listing $1-$2 items into buying and focus on items that make $20 or more profit when he listed. Eventually the lightbulb clicked and he realized, you make your money when you buy and not when you sell. You can sell all day but if all your selling is stuff that makes a small margin you will burn yourself out. Again I say its better to put the energy into sourcing and buying better items that sell faster for higher margins then to focus so much energy into selling. The selling part burns you out.

As the saying goes, indeed, you get the value from the under-allowance, but the value isn’t completed until it’s sold!

Also XL if you are sending shirts out lol

That plush sells for around 4 to 5 hundred so thats not good that is actually bad

@@nicholasnazzarrio5730 Not when I sold it. This was a few years back

Theyll hold value

They sell really well on ebay. I'm almost out in my store. I have hmm maybe 20. The originals. Super awesome tell him dont cut off tags and put on a shelf...they hold value

@Elan - I hope you have the PERSISTENCE in learning how to spell the word correctly!

@@kevinp8108 thank you for correcting my spelling I don't know what would I do with out you.

@@ELFl-ew1dx No worries mate! I sense the sarcasm but I've saved you from future embarrassments. By the way, WITHOUT is spelled as one word. Have a wonderful day!

You can buy and resell directly on Ebay. There are so many thousands of stores, that simply putting in the hours can add all the value you need, e.g. seeking out the best value on items that will sell, giving better service than the other sellers, developing realtionships with suppliers, etc. Be sure to use a buying account and a selling account so that the more savvy buyers don't follow your reviews to your suppIers. I am in a small town in Alaska so no chance to source locally. It can be done I promise. If you have questions let me know. Start with $100. Buy items. Sell them for $200. Buy twice the items. And then just stack it from there. The you will have $1500 soon. And I turned $1500 into $50000 in two years with a 300 fixed price item store.

Trying to find items to resell at thrift stores is like trying to pass a kidney stone. Its just so painful because the prices at these stores are so high they make my dingleberry hurt.
