Quick tip for everyone reselling at Ross, ask an employee what days they restock or get new shipments on. You'll be the first to get all the best stuff if you go in that day or day after. This isn't even from a seller (yet) just someone who likes shopping there. Mine usually restocks Tuesdays 👍 Totally will save you the hassle of going store to store.
Damien Gomez my Ross gets a truck every day mon-fri and roughly about 250-300 total pairs of shoes (men’s,women’s,kids) they have all the shoes out between 12:30-3:00
Good tip
Ross gets new stuff everyday and they’re out on the sales floor that same morning. I work at Ross so I’m always putting new stuff on the sales floor everyday .
Damien Gomez I worked at Ross for more than 5 years. We get shipments everyday except sundays. BUT still definitely make friends with the employees because sometimes we get in trucks but don’t have employees to run out the items. And usually when customers ask “do you have it in the back?” We say no because the items haven’t been processed for floor or we don’t have time to drop what we’re doing to go on a wild goose chase in the HUGE stockroom. But this one dude who resold our shoes would ask me if we got anything new in and I’d be more than happy to go check for him cause he was always pleasant (very welcome in retail). And once he found a pair of Nikes that had no price and I told him find another pair of Nikes and I’ll give him that price. He found some kid’s pair for like $10. I honored that price. ALWAYS BE NICE TO PEOPLE IN RETAIL. It goes a long way in getting what you want.
@@leonalivingston8041 great tips. Thanks.
4am been broke for the last year due to being laid off always been a hustler..so I watched your video trying to learn how shop for product ..this video very informative video.
The opportunities are out there my friend. Soak up the knowledge of the basics then start practicing.
About to be down the same road. Am prepping for when they fully shut down.
Wait you woke up at 8:30 am and didn't get back until 10 pm? My man that's not a side hustle that's a full time hustle.
dragonslayer015 perhaps a full day but it's not something you do everyday.
You missed the point...This is not what I do everyday. This was to 1) Challenge myself to a lot of stores in one day and 2) show people the basics of checking comps since it was highly requested.
I'd rather go shopping as a job than to have someone boss me around..
Heck Shopping is my favorite hobby anyways so mise well make a job out of it lol..
dragonslayer015 pfft, that's that time and a half shit.
Amen! This is what I want to do lol
I'm glad you put it out there that there're many misses for each hit. Being realistic about the in and out of this kind of stuff makes you a good content creator.
I'm a newbie reseller in Oregon too. I don't know if it's just in my area, but Goodwill seems to be outrageously high prices for thrift.
Seattle area is bad, too. I live in Tacoma and prices are waaaay out of proportion to what things are worth. When I lived on the East Coast, most of the thrift stores out there had much better prices. Sigh.
I know here in San Antonio
Go to a smaller town and Goodwill/thrift shop. Yes there is gas; but the savings are amazing
Yup here in San Antonio they price the items like they’re mall prices. No kidding
@@trilliamc5185 GoodWill has gotten WAY GREEDY! UGLY STUFF NOW TOO. I LOOK AND WALK OUT. PEARLAND TX AND WEBSTER AND ALVIN STORES ARE AWFUL NOW. NO GOOD DEALS, WORN OUT JUNK.
Nicely done! Love the hustle. 20 stores in a day is a pretty large goal, but at least you gave it a go, because you wouldn't know if you hadn't tried. Also appreciate the step-by-step of how you research and determine your buy/no buy parameters. Thanks for sharing.
This is a great idea. I used to work at Ross (hated it). I promised I would never ever ever step a foot in Ross.....but you just changed my mind. Never say never😂
Just scored 16 pairs for $41. All Adidas, Nike, and UA. Thank you Chaz!
Never heard of Umbro or lacoste?
I'm assuming you've been living under a rock?
When it comes to clothing brands I guess so :-D
Side Hustle Pros dam son
Umbro-footbol.... really bro.... punned
Was about to comment this bahahaha
Iv never heard of those brands either.
I work in the stock room at Ross and I tag the shoes that you see. Trust, Anything worth buying or selling doesn’t make it to the floor. Employees scoop it at 20% off Ross price or 40% off every 4 months. Oh and when something goes on clearance whoever’s doing markdowns scoops it at 20% off the clearance price as soon as they mark it. My advice to you is get a job at Ross so that you get first dibs, discounts and don’t have to waste time and gas goin to other stores.
Not true dude, I scoop up highly profitable items from Ross stores regularly, in almost every department. I also do it in this guy's backyard, so apparently you guys miss enough items in the back to keep both of us making money. Keep up the stellar work.
Would be interesting to see what would be the true "salary" of someone who works at Ross and flips things on the side. If it's 20hr and you're not living in a high cost place, then it sounds pretty good assuming it's a pretty chill and easy job.
Timothy Crouch I agree with you. But, the main point I’m trying to make is that the guy in the video is misleading people with HIS shoe flipping business model. First his profit margins are too slim to account for gas ,other vehicle wear and tear, shoe consistency, online seller costs and time. Bottom line: the only gain in his method is in the form of views and subscriptions on his CZcams channel.
tgo007 I work in Northern California at the highest volume store in the area out of about 20 stores that are on our truck routes. I process every shoe that touches the floor Mon-Sat(no truck on Sunday)at an average of 500 shoes a day. So I can tell you that without a doubt, even with first dibs, and 20-40% MORE profit margin than the guy in the video(due to my discount), I’m only making about $72 a week extra flipping shoes. That average was taken over the course of a year. So yeah flipping Ross shoes at its highest level is not self sustaining which is why I’m in school. Hope this helped.
Timothy Crouch First, I never complained about anything. Second, how is getting 40% off of the very thing you’re trying to flip a downside? For example, why do you think the USA outsources jobs to China? Because they pay less for product hence an increase in profit margin. I can break it down further: you buy a shoe for $4 , sell it for $10 and make six dollars. I buy the same shoe for $1, sell it for $10 and make nine dollars. Logic....
Would love to see an update to this. How many have sold and what the numbers look like.
I went to Ross today to start my journey into the men's sports shoe game!! I have to wear my magnifier glasses next time I could not see some of the numbers. I didn't get anything today because I got a little overwhelmed. I will try again tomorrow!
Pro tip: Leave earlier and start at the furthest store from your house then work your way back.
Glen Atchison that’s not a pro tip. It would be much better to start at stores near your house and go from there. If you start at the one farthest from you you will waist time driving there, but if you start with the one near you and slow drive to the farthest one as you shop you won’t waste any shopping time.
Alejandro Albarran what are you talking about? You leave earlier and get there at the same time.
Alejandro Albarran also would save some gas :D
Dependent on store count. 1. Closer drive home at the end of the day. 2. Can finish the store visit the following day, shorter drive. (Half day)
Waking up early and start at the first store at 830am is the best tip. Whether you go to the furthest or closest store is irrelevant unless traffic is being taken into account.
Your biggest hustle is CZcams. You make more on these videos than any side hustle. Good for you.
That’s actually not true at all. Happy to show you my earning reports if you need the proof.
@@SideHustleNetwork I'd love to see it. I'm watching an Ad currently generating you income. I'm not hating but commending you actually. You'll make money on your Ebay hustle while making money recording for CZcams. Pretty smart if you ask me. Congrats.
Ross has 10% off for senior citizens on Tuesday where I live. Would be a good little gig for retired folks.
This seems like such a relaxing job, you get to do things all on your own tempo, you are your own boss, you get to go outside and see new places and meet people all the time. It probably has it's fair share of difficulties but i am willing to try this out!
You don’t make that much money tho.
Thanks for your honesty ! Lots of other youtubers conveniently leave out the details :)
I found a pair of Kobe Black Lives Matter maybe Black History Month size 18 shoes at Ross for $40 and flipped em for $250.
Nice flip!
Kurt S Size 18?? Holy shit!!
@@2purdy319 ross has sum big ass shoes
You a goat
What about your shipping cost and packaging?
You know you’re young as hell if you never heard of umbro or Lacoste
Tattooed drummer Grier
True. Just keeps buying lots of track shoes. Playing it way safe.
I think this video is really good. I appreciate the fact he showed the stores that sucked, and the ones that had some good hits. It's how the game really works
Thanks for the information! I went out today and was able to pick up the same pair of crocs and a pair of the discus/shot put shoes!
I went to ross, tj max and marshals with my mom and did exactly the same thing you did and im amazed with what i discovered$$$
Im eager on trying this and sell 10 items once i get my paycheck. Will keep you posted!
I actually tried to do this but I love shoes lol n I keep them lol
Haha the struggle is all too real
Matthew Sampson That's why you have to buy sizes that don't fit you lol
And that's why you broke
Lol I tried the same thing and ended up shopping for myself, smh.....the struggle is real😩
Matthew Sampson ,, ? C ,
what app is everyone using on these videos to scan bar codes to find out IF & how much they are selling for on eBay etc?!?
This is the first video I’ve seen on side hustling and right now I’m about to step into Ross!
I can’t stand normal 9-5 jobs I’m going to give this my best!
I feel you on that. I'm pulling 8 to 5s and fuckin hate it.
i second this !
Im pulling a 7- 5:30. Going to ross tomorrow
It's 3 years later. How'd it go?
Super interesting video. Lotta respect for what you’re doing. Seems like more work than I’m willing to do! Enjoyed the behind the scenes stuff such as showing us how to look at what they’re going for. Really cool
Wow! What a very informative video. Excellent! I don't resell anything but man, your video was great. Keep it up, and good luck to you my brother!
Can I say thank you for showing this I just had a baby and I am struggling for day care my job will change thanks to you I will have the time to take care of my baby 😁
I live in the UK its so interesting how different shopping is over in america. Love these kinds of videos :)
hiddendeepwithin how is it different? I'm curious. 😊
You guys pay more?
Havent sold anything on Ebay kind of scared
This video was a game changer, we never sourced at Ross, or any of the other discount stores, after watching your video we started sourcing shoes and recently picked up a cool pair of jeans at Ross to flip on our eBay store. Thank you for sharing
I wear a 17 and almost all my Jordans have been from eBay. Any color any style, well in a giant shoe
Couple of questions (loving your content btw):$8
1) How many miles did you put in the car this day?
2) Are spikes for track shoes universal? I see bags of these things going for $8 which is worth it to add to the shoes and get a higher price for them.
Gave it a go this weekend, sold 1 pair 2 days later, not making bank yet but give it time!
@Rex Erection he stopped
How much do you usually spend on shipping and what service do you use?
@@allforhisglory_amen Depends where jus going to
That's because no one doing this as a "side hustle" makes bank. This video is just hype for views cuz everyone wants to make easy money. After gas, effort, selling fees, shipping, promotion... People are making 5-10 bucks on something they invested 60 bucks in, it's just that no one wants to admit that. Real return is making at least double what you paid. Sure 5-10 bucks profit isn't horrible, but when you calculate everything you've done to get it, it's like being paid 7 bucks an hour if that.
David Smith if you’re into sneakers it helps to know what may or may not sale
Thanks for the honesty and not making it seem like it's a win everywhere you go. 👍
At 16:33 in the top right corner the high tops that say air along the side go for anywhere from 140-220$ and are very popular. There called Nike off tempos
Haha I can't believe I missed that! I even have 1 of those in stock too *facepalm*
They sell for $40 now soooo....
Was there ever a follow up video with the profits from this run?
In middle school I used to buy phones for $40/$100 and flip them for $250 - $400 this is why I want to get back into selling
Dj VENZON stfu lol
Excellent video. This example can be used in anything that we decide to sell; clothing, hard goods, books, etc... Just do you your research, know your business model, and know what profit margin you want from each item.
couldn't help but chuckle seeing you're from portland.
but forreal living here and shopping for clothes to flip is so hard considering so many people actually shop at goodwill on a daily basis here. Like we are living in a hipster town where many people choose to shop there for all their clothes.
try waking up early
ha okay like that makes a difference. For goodwill you have to be basically waiting outside on sunday morning to get first picks of the new color. Even if you do they charge ridiculous prices for clothes compared to other youtubers who goto thrift stores in their states.
Good to see a Portland area dude on here. I used to live there and got nostalgic vibes from that grey sky.
I saw this video last night. Today I went to 2 Ross stores. I got 8 pairs of shoes. Two from your video!! Those color-way hologram ones are siiiick! Size 13, fingers crossed hahah
Devon Wayne soo how did it go
Rip
i would like to know when you post them on ebay, do you leave the original tags on, or what do you do, especially if the price is lower than what you are going to sell it for?
It's crazy how many Ross's you have around you. I don't even have 20 in the whole state. I'll have to try this with Marshalls.
The man said hit or miss before it was a meme at 16:30 . What a mad lad.
I love Ross shoe clearance! I just hauled 31 pairs! Great Video!
Nice work!!
@Rachel Strickland I need to go shopping with you 🤪👍🏾💯👌🏾😂
I just found your channel today. This is the first video that I've watched and all I have to say is "AMAZING". This is so good! Very informative and straightforward💯👍😊
eBay reselling is a great way to earn extra cash. I started doing it and have now transitioned into full time! Keep up the great work and content man!!
Question for shoe flippers: is there more less or equal value in flipping WOMENS shoes as opposed to mens? Thanks!
idk
I bet you were in a totally different space when you asked this question. Congratulations on making it🎉
I am going to spend $2500 over the next few weeks and start a FLIPPING Business!!! Thank you bro! You're awesome!
Lol. How about try $100 first and if you succeed then you buy more. Otherwise you're wasting your money if you dont really know how the game works
Hey, GomezBro, it's been a couple of months. How is it going for you? :)
Save your money and time and invest in Retro Jordans. They resale really fast and for $100-$150 profit per shoe and sale fast.
Manuel Espinosa which retro Jordan’s??
I’m guessing you’re still sitting with a 100 pair oh shoes lol
I love your POV vids. They're always the most helpful and straightforward way to explain everything we need to know. Thanks Chaz. Keep up the great work.
Omg you skipped some Nike Phantom 2’s bronze at the first Ross. I bought those new for $260
Francisco Cigarroa They look like take down models. Probably 60-80$ shoes maybe discounted to 40$
All cleats at Ross I believe are the lower models 50 dollars Max new inbox
Is there a follow up to this one? I would love to see the numbers! Oh and thanks so much for all the info. I learned a good amount.
Loved the video...DIED laughing at the Lacoste part. lol...like one of the biggest and expensive high volume brands... You gained a subscriber though bro.
What is lacoste??????? Lol............
I purchased an addidas pair for $30 and sold them in 2 days for $60 and had the buyer pay for shipping. This video got me started on this about a year ago. I recommend new flippers to beware of buying too many shoes and try to get a few and sell them then go for more. I had an overstock for a while and it was too much to keep up with.
Idk if this question has been asked already but do you factor in your time and fuel cost?
and ebay fees are 20% and alot of what he shows has free shipping...there are much better things to flip then shoes
rmc rmc eBay fees are 10% and PayPal is 2.9%
@@Alwaysrandomz247 paypal is 5% im pretty sure...either way your looking at about 15% going back to ebay and paypal every time
@@90gdv ok...were splitting hairs now
@@90gdv True...i have a buddy whos been doing it for almost 20 years and hes doing well....He has a private wholesaler and he sells items that take up very little space...has a great set up...id def like to get to that point if was gonna take it super serious...Theres tons of money in this but honestly i can live without listing items and shipping...gets old fast..its fun but I can do more in my life ha
Been selling on ebay for awhile, just starting to actually put in more work because I enjoy doing this! Appreciate the video! Subbed my guy
Don’t forget to pay the tax man
A few comments on gas “how much do you spend in gas” do you ask that question when you go to your 9-5?
Basicly you better drive a 4 cylinder
Your video is what I needed because I wanted to get into buying and reselling shoes but didn't know where to start. Thank you...
I always say I'm going to buy shoes at Ross for Ebay then end up just keeping them to wear. Lol
You always make the easiest videos on sales. Very clear . Thank you.
I appreciate this breakdown, thanks.
Your 100% correct about finding the larger sizes. I'm sz14 I've been buying my sneakers primarily from Ross past 12-15yrs. Finding my size at surprisingly low prices 🤫
On Ross I bought a shoe (adidas) for $40. And my mom found out it was actually worth $185!!!
They were at Ross so they probably weren’t worth the retail of $185
This video literally is what started my resell journey. Thanks!
Can u scan with the eBay scanner on the app? To find the prices quickly
Amazonbargains In places that have the box you can. At Burlington and Ross they use their own UPC codes so it won’t populate in eBay
You sir have earned yourself a new subscriber.
I never thought about doing this. Good call bro.
Thanks so much for this vid! I've been on eBay selling high end cosmetics, skincare, haircare and body products for 2+ years now and have done well. I'm expanding my repertoire to Amazon FBA and was inspired by your video to do a shoe haul at my Ross. Found some great larger sizes for super cheap. Will def turn a profit (9 shoes for total $83) even if i have to hold on to them for a while.
How much do you make per year on ebay? I'm talking profits.
Rick Grimes Hollywood Detective 40k in sales and 14k profits. This year my goal is to increase sales but also increase per item profit.
Chaz, did you ever do a show at what you pulled from this video?
I like that he shows it's a full time job.
What about spending money on gas/milage/tear and wear? Do you consider those factors?
zolu shka tax write off
do you consider that when you drive to your shitty job at mcdonalds?
Bought a bunch of shoes at Ross for the first time today. Most were marked down $2-3 and bought a couple of high viz crazy colorway for more that sell for $100-$150. Paid up for those but the margin is worth it. Paid $60 for one pair that sells for $150
So real talk did you sell all the shoes?
Nah
Of course he did
Watch some of the other videos from these guys... You dont go from selling stuff out of the garage to running a warehouse if you dong sell all the shoes lol
Selling sjoes? Hah.
He getting the bag
I'm just getting back into ebay but I used to do mostly electronics. I never sold everything, there's still junk laying around at my parents house. You always have pleasant memories of the risks that pay off, but that also leads to you taking a lot of risks, losing, and then sitting on some item that just pisses you off every time you look at it for months/years.
Thank you for this educational video - it's priceless! Lots of Ross in Phoenix. You have been a blessing.
Quick question, when you resell the shoes and ship them, do you keep the price tag on it or do you take it off?
Quaddy
😂😂😂😂
Common Senese isn’t so common these days 🤦♂️.
Started this today, use to do cell phones 2 years ago. My mom has 20%off since she works at Dds. Better profits. Thanks for the heads up wish I looked it up first.
Amazing how youve never heard of umbro or lacoste. Cool vid. Thnx
I know I was like who the fuck has never heard of Lacoste??? Like does he live in a cave?
If something you bought doesn't sell within the store return policy do you return it to the store for cash back?
Sometimes Costco can be a good source. I know Because I work for Costco. Example. We have khombu sandals marked down to $4.97 Reasons for Mark downs on products vary. Could be different didn't sell or need to make room for something else. Or manufacturer could be redesigning the packaging. It's hit or miss and each store is going to be different.
Chris Birch hi I hi autre 466
Thanks good idea.
This Channel is gold I loved this video. I have been doing this for years but just here there. I been pretty good at finds. Time to step up my game
$1000 in shoes :o ..heck I am struggling to buy a pair of replacement $8 Walmart shoes right now (no joke). Nice video.
BU3 D need money to make money.... simple as that.
I have some used chanklas I'll put them in your mailbox.
FYI when searching eBay for your ‘market analysis’ if you put the design or model number in the search field it will only pull up items that also have those in the title/subject field as well. To pull up more matching items go to ‘filters’ and turn on ‘search in description’ then the items that have your model number in the details and/or extended description field will also show. Then I would sort them price low to high so you can see around what you would place your starting price
what did you make off of this load ?
I have been doing this exact thing with baby and kids shoes for several years now. :D Glad to see I am not the only one!! ;)
Hmm, I should try baby shoes.
so how much Profit you made ? or where is the Video of ?^^
Great info, a different perspective and honest look at your business model. Best wishes to you!
Factor in, taking pictures, listing them on Ebay, packing, and going to the post office, and you can find out easily, it is very labor extensive.
Absolutely! Extremely labor intensive...But on the flip side, I'd rather do something labor intensive working for myself vs. slaving at a job.
Side Hustle Pros, what else do you sell on eBay? I noticed when you pulled up your app it was open to your activity and it shows nearly 9k in sales. I just got started about a month ago and have managed about $200 in sales just selling stuff I have found on clearance. I want to find as many items as possible that sell consistently. Please help, any and all advice is greatly appreciated.
Yuichi Totani ups will pick up at your house. Print a label, tape it to the box, set it outside..
Wow. You're going to have a tough time growing up and getting a real job if you think this is "labor intensive".
Stop being lazy that’s what it takes to ship items.
Great video! I love it when you teach a poor boy to fish rather than just showing the bounty at the end of an expedition as a lot of others do. Do you have a specific shoe size range that you limit your searching too? Like 8 and up?
17:58 NEVER HEARD OF LACOSTE
What is the ideal size to buy when flipping shoes? Great video by the way pretty informative.
How do you deal with returns on ebay
easily...and rarely are there returns
This is super satisfying. I see a lot of people don't believe in it. It's worth giving it a shot 😊
4:20 he finally makes it the shoe isle
Hey, were you at the Ross store in Mac on Monday, late morning? I had no idea that you lived in Mac until I saw you coming out of Ross' and later that day checked on Facebook. I thought you lived more toward Portland. I live in Carlton. I was really surprised to see you and almost stopped to say hello, but I was on my way to take my daughter to Chemeketa Community College. I have to tell you that I've been so impressed with your sincerity in wanting to help everyone who watches your videos. I haven't had time to watch since the end of September because my house is on the market, so I've been really busy, but I'm looking forward to catching up on all the videos I've missed, when things calm down a bit. So great to see you, keep up the good work, it means a lot to so many people. :-)
+Victoria Sutton Haha too funny! Yep I live in Mac and was at the Ross here Monday 😃
New subscriber here! Umbro was a popular brand in the 80's to '00's in the soccer communities. I'm surprised they're still around.....
Nike bought Umbro so they could get the rights to make Englands football shirts
or 'soccer jerseys'
B2dgMedia Umbro is now at target 
Umbro is now owned by Iconix (they own Lee cooper etc) Nike lost half a billion on the purchase and sale of Umbro (Nike still make the Football shirts for England!)
If you love going to 15 to 20 stores is not a problem! For me I enjoy going store by store looking for great buys ! I never get tired of looking or shopping! So much fun!! Thanks for sharing ❤👍👍
.how much money do I need to start selling on ebay. How much does cost for shipping shoes
Depends on the shoes but in general, we see $12-$14 for shipping usps priority. As for money needed to start? Whatever you have. There's people that start with $1,000 and others that start with $5. It's all about how much work you are willing to put in.
That's completely up to you Edwin, one pair or a thousand pairs but you'd be much more prudent your first time to do 5-10 pairs and see how it goes and build from there as you gain experience, wisdom, and knowledge.
Excellent. I’m thinking about going into shoes. Higher investment but better margins with the right shoes. Thank you!!
This is probably nitpicking but do you add the cost of gas.
No need. I track my receipts and mileage to give to my CPA who can deduct them.
And if driving around like this everyday were my primary business model, you'd be correct. This video does not reflect my main business approach. It was merely to take on a challenge and teach people the basics of checking comps on shoes.
Awesome video, thanks for dropping so much knowledge! I tried retail arbitrage, going to thrift stores and good wills and man I just felt like I was wasting my day. I bought a board game, never sold it. Spend like 8+ hours searching. Didn’t help that I didn’t have any product knowledge. I’d just go aisle to aisle scanning shit
