Would you consider doing a video where you go through a rack showing every tag and then narrate over it saying pass or pickup. I remember thriftalife did those back when he uploaded and it was awesome!

Yeah I can do that for a future video! Thanks for watching!

Someone asked me once why I was looking through the women's clothing in a thrift shop. I looked at them and said; "I am looking for the Golden Ticket, its in here somewhere." They don't bother you after that...

lol I love that! Yes no worries we are all just looking for profitable items. Thanks for watching

At my local Goodwill here in So. Cal. Resellers just stand around and wait for fresh racks to come to the floor. It becomes a feeding frenzy with pushing and shoving, it's a real scene. That being said, I am always amazed at what they miss after the insanity cools down. Case in point, yesterday I stepped in to find a pair of Vuori NWT men's shorts. A pair of Bevy Flog pants and some men's Kuhl pants. Made my day.

great score! Yes I agree, tons of pushing and shoving at our local Goodwill Outlet and after the dust settles I can still find some amazing brands, it makes me wonder what exactly are they going crazy over lol.

Thanks so much for responding. Clearly I have to start earlier in the day. I can't seem to figure out how to make a template that works for me as most of my items just always seem to be different. I don't have enough items because I don't have a store to go in and pull things back out for listings if that makes any sense. Clearly I'm just not as sophisticated in this yet, Don't know if I ever will be. When I hear the amounts that people sell in one day or one weekend it blows my mind, wish it was me, but also happy to see that others can do it. Thanks again, Linda

Welcome! Thank you for the support. Yeah I try to cut the family in some of the videos, very important to take breaks and enjoy the ride.

I started looking at styles that I had sold in the past and current trends. This really helped. My sales are up 30 this past month for doing these things. Every night before I go to bed I look at ebay sales in a price range I want to target to get ideas for styles, trends and brands so helpful. Watching Beau's videos has really helped me too. Thanks Beau!

Crazy!

Hi I have learned very much from you and from several other thrifters. I've been doing this for only 6 months. Had not to be discouraged but I'm battling through so far. My question is if you go out that many times a week when do you do the photographing and listing? Do you have someone else that works with you. You have to sleep sometime! I have more stuff than time to list or photograph and I'm trying to stay home to get it done and not go out. But going out is what I love to do finding the good stuff. Would love a reply. Thanks, Linda

Hey Linda I appreciate the support. Most of my photography and listings are done early in the morning around 6AM, but 7:30 - 8AM that process is done (Listings + Photos) then I hop into shipping mode and ship out the orders for the day. I list about 20 items per day so its around 150-200 photos in total. The more reps you put in the faster you will get. I used to have a VA to do my listings when I did 50 listings per day but now I just do them myself. Happy to answer any questions.

Getting to the trift early-ish in my areas usually yields the crap tgatcwascthere the night before. Yes new parts come out but in my area it's later

Yup this varies from thrift to thrift. Some put out fresh inventory all day long. Thank you for watching!

With all of the time spent sourcing, have you calculated what you are being paid per hour on your net after expenses/before taxes? I have a PT job and am finding it is paying more at this point, which was not true when I started 3 years ago....I enjoy doing ebay more so it has been tricky deciding what to do.

I got hit for trying to sell UPS pants, said Government uniform items not allowed

Yes, I used to have a VA when I was doing 50 listings per day but now I only do 20 just myself. Maybe in the future I would hire the VA back.

Hey Beau how much of your old inventory (the bad bulk buys) do you think you’ve sold through?

@BeauJohnson1

2 ай бұрын

Oh I would say in total about 50%, I still have a good but left from buying 4 storage units in June of 2022. But the more recent bulk buys I have at least 50% left. Staying away from buying bulk for the foreseeable future.

For me it was around 2000 items and listing 30 per day is when we were able to pay our rent just off eBay profits. But this will vary for everyone since we all pick up different items to resell.

If you factor in your time and effort sourcing /photographing / packaging it doesn’t seem to be worth it making $10 on an item ( your average selling price).
