Another idea too that you could do quickly is using Velcro for all of your labels! Have every bin at the exact same spot have one side of Velcro, and every single label you have obviously the matching piece. It might also be easier than fumbling around with plastic :)

I love this idea!

Love when Nikki joins you in the videos, she's so great on camera. Y'all have an awesome dynamic together. You are both so informative and love the organization.

Tables on risers - great idea!

Interesting, definitely with you on the multi stage listing. I have unlisted, box of drafted, box of draft & photo. I used to have another step of the putting away but now my last photo is sku on the bag. Able to do things in smaller chunks so it doesn't go so overwhelming. Oddly enough I'm better at processing stuff I just got over items from awhile back before I started my systems. I think its because I see it more as todays homework but unlisted stuff I bought during garage sale season is where do I start highest value, items for that season, just by box. Now that its winter here I knew Id have lot more time to list even if I didn't get to everything in the summer. Even going back through my boxes to double check each listing Ill find things that are unlisted, I swear its ebay. Its a lot to keep on top of.

I learn so much from you gals. You have a great system, for sure.Thank you for taking the time to share with us like you do! Happy New Year!🎉💖🥳

Thank you guys for this video! I have been back selling for about 3 months now and just hit over 300 items in my store. Right now i'm using all the closet space in the house LOL and some. So I went and bought the shelves and boxes and have been putting all my items in poly bags and into the boxes. Watching your video gives me a blueprint and start and I love that!

Loved the tour. I’m nowhere near as large as your business, but I’ve been redoing and rearranging my office this morning. It was getting out of hand, which is easy to happen. I just use a bedroom for the majority of my reselling. I don’t plan on getting too big at it, but I love every bit of it.

So loved the Nikki tackle at the end‼️ Okay, so I get that inventory numbers are reused, but??? The labels from the link have a permanent adhesive. Soooo, I don’t understand how you keep track of all the numbers, especially when you sell so much. Sorry, I’m just not understanding 😩😳 and really want to understand your process of keeping track of and reusing inventory numbers . I’ve been using bins labeled by classical composers (so it’s less boring): Liszt, Mozart, Hayden for example. Things have to change though, too much inventory, a good thing but don’t want to let go of the composer bins, they’re fun and different. A reseller has to do what a reseller has to to keep things interesting, that’s one of mine. Happy New Year and thank you very much for the video 💕

Thanks for the tour. One question, why don’t you have hours shelving back to back to reduce space? Your # of aisles would be reduced and give you room for additional shelves. Also how do the # of items per box compare with the bins? I’ve always used bins but may need to start thinking about boxes. Thanks so much

@cayleyelaine

Жыл бұрын

Yes!

do you keep track of what you paid for a particular item, so when you list it, you know your bottom $ price to keep it profitable. Also, if you buy say 20 items in a sourcing event, how do you know if that day was profitable? do you check the sales for that event, or is that a waste of time?

@cayleyelaine

Жыл бұрын

We put our cogs for each item in our custom sku within each listings. It's probably different for everyone but for me, I find a sourcing day to be profitable when I'm able to bring back significantly more in value that day than I spent in expenses.

Thank you ladies!

So it looks like you hand write the sku numbers on blank labels. When that item sells, do you reuse that sku number or just produce a new number in the system?

@cayleyelaine

Жыл бұрын

We reuse.

You mentioned your "light graveyard" and I noticed you didn't have any lighting equipment set up at the stations now, except at the white box for shoes, etc. Did you just stop using it due to having enough sunlight filtering in? I typically take all of my photos outside now, but I can't always do that, and in theory, I would like to do all measuring & photographing in my spare room to keep from carrying up & downstairs to be done, but the lighting is not great in there.

We just wanted to simplify our process as much as possible. Removing lights and background removal has given us a lot of time back to use on other things. Since it doesn't seem to make a difference in my sales we changed our process. We actually do not have any natural light.
