Just an FYI: Bathing Ape is notorious for filing VERO claims

Yep. It’s a purse. Lol. Of course, I am one who uses vintage lunch pails as purses, but that is definitely a purse from the 1970’s.

Yes, that house is a purse. In the 70s it was very trendy to carry wooden purses that were painted, or decoupaged. Most were crafted. I was abou 12 when I made a couple of them. From my research they are in demand right now.

❤❤❤

You're a marketing guy so you know how effective it can be. B ape keeps inventory low so demand stays high. Plus some rappers promoted. So as long as they can keep the hype up the prices will be good. But likely it will become stale over time. The materials aren't exceptional.

Just tripped across your channel. Very impressed with your content. Many resellers on CZcams flip by shots of sold items so fast you can't even read them. Brilliant! Best wishes, Roger.

I just found your channel today. Love the insight and look forward to future content

OOOOPS - One more question please - could you comment on how you ship DVDs and CDs - padded envelope maybe....??

Hey there! Just found you today - I'm a newbie to eBay starting.....today! My husband says we're not retired. We're just tired! lol Lifelong musicians, and actually - still musicians. BUT - bills to pay, so we are trying this whole heartedly. THNX for this post. It helps. One thing I might suggest - this might be tooooo much - but when showing the monthly totals, it would be helpful to know the actual "net", meaning after fees. (forget about taxes - that's a given). But a net would be interesting to know as we figure this out. THANK YOU!!!

I went FT 3 years ago. I’m a retired navy vet so I wasn’t totally dependent on the reselling income, but I can totally relate to everything you said. I’m happy with where I’m at. It is a grind but I love doing what I do! You numbers look very similar to mine with the exception I’m only listing on eBay. Selling a bit of everything with my main focus on electronics and sporting goods.

So exciting! You really sold some great items. Congratulations on your one year anniversary 😊

Great work! I’m glad to know I’m not the only one working 12 hours a day. Thanks for your knowledge.

Videos are great. Please keep letting us know how long each item took to sell.

Happy eBay Anniversary. Yes, it IS work to sell actively on eBay. I helped a guy who had just retired get started, and he sold a few high-dollar items, but didn't wish to continue, said - "too much work" - yep, not for everyone, true. I do enjoy the treasure hunts, even if my luck has not been great lately. I've sold off and on for many years, much more active last 2 yrs but so far do not crosslist.

happy to see u back...thank you for sharing knowledge so much appreciated.

Hi Jim, when you first retire to resell, what did you do for health insurance coverage?

I miss you man glad your back❤

How are you getting your photos so white like that?

glad you are back! hope to see more in the near future

You should get comfortable sorting through the women's section, many of my best finds are men's clothes that are placed in the women's section on accident. You learn the women's brands as you go.

Congrats on one year & all your success! Glad to see you back, appreciate your videos. Hope Q4 treats us all well!

Bape is one of the biggest rap and hip hop brands from the 2000s. Japanese streetwear, same designer of HumanMade and Billionaire Boys Club and Ice Cream. Nigo I had a lot of bape in college during its resurgence again 2015-2020

welcome back, wondered where you went lol

Hi Jim this is my first month selling and it is a A LOT OF WORK. This is a part time for me and was having a lot of issues with the photos trying different lighting . The only parts that makes me super happy is sourcing and when something sells. I do not like cleaning steaming , listing part of the business let’s see how it goes . Great content you actually said like it is , many make seem like is a piece of cake when in fact is a lot of constant work

Was just checking the other day to see if I missed a new video. Glad to watch this one! I really enjoy your what sold videos and how you break the categories down. Happy 1 year of reselling!

Careful on the bathing ape stuff as it is HEAVILY faked. I’ve found more fakes than real ones. So just make sure it’s authentic before you buy or list.

Great to see you back!!

Always an inspiration... I'm trying to hit $3k this month, but I've been trying to add way more quality listings to my store to prepare for Q4

What is your EBay store link

12 items a day = 12 hours. That's 4 hours max. U napping in between? That's not work. 😅 Stop the spreadsheeting. IRS will NEVER require that EVER.

I’m so glad you shared these details. Hoping to do the same soon and am a marketing/advertising exec currently. Ready for a change and realize this will be a lot of work. Thank you!! So ready!

Hi Jim! Congratulations on your 1 year ANNIVERSARY! Was looking for your current videos yesterday! Love your videos and have learned so much! Thank you!

Congrats on your 1-year anniversary!!! 🎉 Really enjoy your content! Keep up the good work!

Good to see you again! Hope all is well!

Do you promote listings on eBay?

I just went to a local estate sale. Usually the women’s clothes and shoes are gone first. So I decided to look at the male’s closet. 🎉I found 1 Ermenegildo tie, 2 Versace ties and 5 Robert Talbotts. Thanks to your video 👍🏼👌

What is your EBay store link

Really appreciate these videos and love how you retired to resell! It’s taking everything I have to wait until I’m 65 to retire. Lol I’ve got two more years and it feels like 20. May I ask what you did for healthcare coverage?

There is no such thing as a sell through rate above 100% Just ask any elementary math school teacher. A 200% sell through rate literally means you had 100 units of an item but sold 200 units. What magic did you use to make the other 100 units appear out of thin air? The proper formula and data is: Items Sold / (Items Sold + Items Still Listed + Expired Unsold Listings) eBay's Terapeak will never show a sell through rate above 100% since its mathematically impossible!

Awesome video! If you ever need ties our warehouse sells them in bulk!

I miss seeing your videos. Hope all is well. 😊

Wow!!

How to do you track your sales and listing? Do you use a personal spreadsheet?

Hey, first time watching your channel. This video came across my CZcams home page and immediately caught my attention since I was looking for a way to make more money with the money I have already. Do you just go to thrift stores and buy whatever looks resellable? I would like to start a side hustle outside of my job in order to get an on-going cash flow, but I have no idea what reselling is all about. Would greatly appreciate if you could help me jump start.

I have learned a lot from your videos. I hope you upload more!

Very helpful! Thank you!

Splendid creation Retired2Resell. I pressed the thumbs up symbol on your segment. Sustain up the high-quality work. Looking forward to see your next one from you.

Excellent video!! Very informative. Great work.

Thank you for the video. New brand to me.

Outstanding video- caught me on the tie video and subscribed on this one. I appreciate the way you deliver your knowledge- you seem to really want to deliver to your viewers- thank you!
