    I scored the Jean haul of a lifetime at a garage sale this weekend! 17 pairs of rock revival and miss me jeans… for ONE DOLLAR each!! All in excellent condition. I couldn’t get them off the hanger fast enough! We sell a little bit of everything, but I’ve recently been trying to gear more toward jeans(while my husband still prefers hard goods) because I definitely enjoy photographing jeans over tops/jackets! So I’m loving your content, thanks for sharing! ❤

    I sometimes get tendinitis if my hand gets overworked from phone usage, computer usage, etc. The brace helps keep my wrist and hand in a neutral position to still get work done but completely resting it is the only way I can get it to heal.

    What is your average buy cost and highest buy cost? We don't have cheap bins here. Thrift stores here in suburban California have price tags similar to Ebay stores. Goodwill maybe a dollar or 2 less.

    Average is around $6 and the highest I'd pay for an item just depends on what the item is. I'd pay $1000 for an item that would make me $2000 in a heartbeat.

    @@carrieathome I would also pay $1K too in that case. For the practicality of the question and realistically, what would be the highest cost you find when thrifting for jeans? For example, in our area, $6.99 would be the lowest, $12.99-$15.99 is considered average, $19.99 is the high side we normally find. As always, thanks for the answering questions 🙂.

    A couple questions but first...GREAT VIDEO. I appreciated the showi g how you list. This is perhaps my greatest motivator to nicheing down. My questions... When you open a second ebay store, does ebay take you all the way back to not getting paid till later and all that? (I want to do this for my nieche but am not looking forward to newbie issues like that) Second...when you do your taxes can you just combine all the numbers as if its just one reselling business? I want to keep life as simple as possible so im debating a new store or merging the one i have into a niche. Do you feel a niche store gets vetter traffic for those items? Thats three questions sorry.
