Ive been reselling for over 15 years and have seen thousands of videos...something about this one that is honest and refreshing. Love the process and the breakdown of how you do things step by step. I have clothes in my deathpile but alwayssss avoid them lol, this will change that. Thank you for the video, I just subscribed and look forward to many more. God Bless

Just a suggestion for people watching this video, when my husband and I was selling shoes we used either goo gone to remove the marker from the shoes (sometimes goo gone is too harsh on some materials) but even hand sanitizer will sometimes do the trick!

I use nail polish remover (acetone) cheap alternative and have never had an issue with anything getting damage. Paint on leather soles sometimes comes up a bit but to me a little discoloration is better than thrift store markings.

I spray Goo Gone on a Q-tip and it immediately erases the marker from every sole I’ve worked on.

Continued success to you and your family.

@@ThriftandThriveMaritawith as much editing I can quickly caught the first few seconds I thought wow! She’s good! Glad I came across your channel. I sick at being organized and have been working on it.

The 'system' you have is kinda sorta what I started with a few years ago. While it worked great for me, the boxes can get very heavy and cumbersome to deal with for my wife, and grandkids, so we're moving to a 1-row wide box (rather than three wide). Otherwise, your setup is awesome and easy to deal with. Your voice, topic flow, and video editing are wonderful; so much easier than so many of the youtubers out there. Well done. We'll be checking out a few of your other 'tips & traps' type videos. My wife & I are typically burned out on haul & sold videos, but enjoy info that helps us improve our own listings, habits, and sales. Thank you!

I hope this helps you for your next filing year and that it gives you peace of mind so that you can enjoy what you do even more. Thank you for watching! ❤️🥰

Love your system especially the receipts. Great organization of paper. Bookkeeping is a 100. I try to figure that out at the end of the year doing write offs. I had a client who stapled her receipts to each page detailing what each items was for then she would make a copy. But we had a system that would automatically categorize your receipts.,

Thank you, Marita! All your tips are so helpful. Your effort is much much appreciated💕. Thank you again for making time on sharing your system with us💐

I bought my boxes off Amazon and I have them linked in my video description. I measured out my shelves and found boxes on there that fit in perfectly. At the store I use both my GoPro and regular camera. The GoPro for my point of view shots and then my camera for a full length view of me grabbing the items. I definitely look pretty silly while I'm out shopping. I also use my camera for when I'm shooting my at home sit down scenes just because I think it looks better. Don't ever be sorry for asking questions! I'm always happy to help! Thank you so much! 🥰❤️

Great video. I love seeing other sellers systems. Photographing the inventory numbers is genius. I do both and sometimes I notice an enter the wrong number and the photo saves the day. I use to have plastics drawers. They were a nightmare to deal with! So box/bin as you have is the best. For me I’d shave of a few steps to save time like measuring and packaging while the clothes are being photographed and then package number it so you don’t have to go back and fuss with the item again. And also my ocd is saying just get the sold items and package it instead of writing and erasing and just put certain numbers in a certain boxes and save the fuss amalgamating all the time lol. Again great video and I love your reselling space!

Thanks so much for sharing! Do your lights with the filters help eliminate your shadow on your item when the light is behind you? Also, I keep in a google sheet how much I paid for each item, so I know my profit margins. Do you just do an average for all items in a haul?

Hi , new to your channel one question do you keep item in the bag the way it is to ship? I have seen many videos where they take them out of bag and wrap in tissue paper not sure if that’s so they can keep recycling the bag. Going to try this system btw, I’m a hot mess over here!😅

@ThriftandThriveMarita

Hey! Thank you for watching! If you don't already even if you have a low number of items I would definitely decide on what inventory system works for you and your space and pick one that you can grow with. Once you have a high volume of inventory it's very time consuming and hard to pivot to a new inventory system that's more conducive for more items. As for growing when I got started I was putting back a lot if not all of my profits back into buying more inventory to grow my business until it got to the point that I just wanted to sustain it. Also, make sure you're taking your time at the thrift store and looking up your items before you invest your money into them. Wishing you all the best luck! ❤️🤞🥰

I love when others share their processes. Always good ideas. I'm wondering if you get many requests for waist and/or hip measurements when selling dresses?? I provide those measurements but maybe I don't need to. Just curious what your experience has been. Thank you!
