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!!

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!

Do you remove items from your store that haven’t sold after being listed for a while? Thank you for sharing your knowledge!
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
Woooow! What amazing super secrets!
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.
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!!
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.

Hard to find items to make much of a profit on here in Surprise/Peoria area too. Go to the bins occasionally & seem to do OK- just quite the drive. Do you go to the bins? What Part of Phoenix are you in?

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.
Thank you. Learning a lot from all your videos. Really appreciate you and your team. Many thanks
Great advice. Where do you get those plastic zipper bags? Those look great for storing garnets that you're arbitraging from eBay?
Thanks Chris as always invaluable guidance 👊🏼👊🏼
The beginning looks like my death pile when I first started on eBay 🤣
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 …
As always, thank you for the advice!👍
Thank you from Germany :-)))))
Good video Chris, thanks for the wisdom.
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.
You are amazing, thank you for sharing.
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.

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

yep I live in Florida as well the thrifts and bins are all filled with Walmart clothing. People here are not trendy and dont spend a lot of their clothing and if they do they are not giving them up to the thrift stores...

Solid info. Much appreciated.

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
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.

Hey Chris! What's up with your eBay store?
Chris - still wanna know where your pants from? Which brand? What kind or type? Seem mad comfortable. I’d like to buy.
Do you take pictures now out of your storage unit
what was that thing moving around behind you in the vlog at tip #1 a rat?
Nice Pliny hat
Madewell jeans at $20 and over have a 7% sell through. Are you sourcing certain styles with a higher rate?
👍 good stuff
Question man. When you say turn $5 to $20 are you also accounting for ebay fees and shipping or just gross sale in general?

Gross. $5 item sells for $20. After fees ~15% you're left with $17. $12 profit. Put 40% of the $12 into seperate bank account 'tax account' than repeat $5>$12.2 in related fees/taxes Find a bank or stock that can give you that ROI and I'll bet the house lol
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
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!

Yes it is. Just started from zero after being gone for 6 years. Made $88 off of a $5 thrift purchase the first week with zero feedback. Went back and bought a few more things and now I'm up over $300. Other than a few changes on ebay and shipping everything its all the same.
Share all the secrets with the competition??

He said in another video you need to understand that you as a business owner are not the only one effected by gas prices. Im not saying im general EVERYONE is complaining. He was explaining that since gas went up for example Goodwill prices go up because of gas. Stores in general prices are going up. It isn't just thinking about your gas. Its just an unfortunate truth that you also have to think about in general. Instead of just saying gas went up, how can you save me money on gas?
