    I really like the style of this video, getting to see not only what you received but also showing us what each item is worth. You got way better items than I did, which isn't saying much. My box just had skirts in it, which are hard enough to sell. Between the ones that were brands not worth listing, the ones that were super dated looking, and the ones that had flaws, there was maybe 1 skirt left. It sucks because on IG she made it sound like these would be full of good items. Learned my lesson.

    Sourcing is my favorite part of being a reseller. I love hunting for Lululemon and searching for dojos too much to order presourced. I was super curious about what was in these boxes and am happy I'm not missing out on a lot. Thanks for a great video!!

      Sourcing is the reason I have a store. I love clothing and love finding it undervalued. It's an interesting concept though. I would not buy a box for sourcing reasons. It's what I love doing the most. It's an interesting twist from States Crates to Sourcing Boxes. The reality is that there is a ton of inventory out there that can be used for many different reasons. I pass on things all the time because I'm trying to stay focused...but it's hard to walk on by things and I'm continually wondering what to do about it..

    No offense but there are much better options out there for sourcing product. I just finished packing two small items that sold for a total of $125 that I have less than $20 invested in. I try to keep it in the "no less than $30 profit per item range". A lot of resellers create WAY too much work for themselves. It's apparent that this seller you speak of is literally "offloading" her junk onto others. I can't respect that. I do however, respect the unbiased review without the ridiculous drama. I subscribed to your channel.

    I have been scared to sell boxes like this thinking mine wouldn't be enough but after this I feel more confident lol. I'm so glad to see a honest video! When you take that profit and think how much time its going to take to actually sell and than ship those items it becomes not worth it. I sold a lot of lower dollar at the beginning enjoying just the fact of a sale but all that find packing shipping burnt me out. And seeing my balance dollar amount hardly move I got fed up for a while and found another platform. You kept a great attitude the whole video which can be hard to do! I'm really loving your content and your video's seem to be exactly what I wonder about. I think with Nicole's boxes anyone buying would have to keep in mind, she was buying a whole bunch of whatever just to fill those states creates so the resale boxes are not hand picked and like you said she's still selling herself. With her whole following and the public bashing she takes, it intimidates smaller people like me who would actually be sending stuff bought knowing its value and was bought with the intent to sell myself. She messed up with ebay and is now flooding poshmark. Its sad she was my first main seller I started watching and now :(

    This was very well done. You don’t get shaken or emotional. I am SO thankful I live in a large metro area for sourcing purposes. Resellers who have to depend on boxes like this to make it happen have a tough row to hoe. It’s possible that I’m a little over the top with washing, ironing, preparing and packaging to ship as if it’s the best gift in the world but that how I would want to feel opening something!! Lol
    It would be tough to do all of that for items of this caliber.

    Nicole State is gonna ruin shipping perks for the rest of us. that is a large flat rate box in which you shouldn't be using with poshmark. i've heard on many occasions has mismatched shipping labels to how things should be shipped. Plus why are these items not poly bagged. I thought with poshmark everything is way more classier then eBay. When a customer opens their box it should feel like a gift. She (or her staff) just threw it in the box like its a garage sale. Thank you for your honest video.

      @@AmberResells You're not about creating drama, though. And the way you handle the critique is without public bias. It's important for us all to have the information you present. You're not presenting in a way that is insulting to the seller even if what's in the box isn't as profitable as a box of 10 items should be. $7 is very reasonable per item. The fact that you say the box is profitable for those who might not want to source on their own is testament to a good point/counterpoint discussion. I would love to source from my couch while watching Netflix and then ship from my home office while eating popcorn. I love the hunt, though. A lot of people are going to get tired of the constant fights among channels and move to what really helps them make money. I think you're going to be one of the ones people go to. Hope you have a great weekend. I flex on Fridays so I'm off the next four days to hunt December's sales like those folks on Naked and Afraid hunting for a 7-11 Slurpee. Hope it doesn't rain.

    If your profit margins is this low you would never benefit from buying and reselling this way unless you were unable to source yourself. In todays world there is so much stuff to buy out at thrift stores, Yard sales, personal ads on craigslist and so on... If you are looking to buy in bulk and resell buying from a reseller probably isn't the best bet. I understand the whole idea she has to supply resellers with inventory but i think that if she wanted to make it in the bulk selling business she would need to quite her reselling business and only move the inventory she buys to her customers who order from her, at that point she would be able to focus on her customers service and quality of items more and make her business more profitable and respectable. But when it comes down to those of you looking to find and buy good profitable items to resell nothing beats going out yourself and searching for deals. The profit margins on items bought at yard sales is ridiculous and cannot be beat buying from wholesalers like states place. Great video, Great review. I don't sell a whole lot of clothing and what little bit i do sell is usually vintage stuff or my t shirts but i love watching other resellers and i stumbled upon your channel so i subbed.

    Basically she sends out stuff that won’t sell in mystery boxes. I’ve done reseller boxes but I lost and show everything that comes in the box. Giving you the customer a chance to research those items and make an informed decision. What she’s doing is wrong. She knows what you will get for that stuff aka nada.

    Thanks for posting this. I've been curious to see the types of things inside these reseller or mystery boxes. When I see them for sale my gut instinct is that they probably wont be worth it. I agree there is just not enough profit there. btw, I think the red Dana Buchman item is a rain coat not a top.

    • @AmberResells

    I also have ordered a box from her, and I was extremely disappointed. I didn't keep all of it. I sent some to Goodwill, and the rest may go to Platos. Only 1 or 2 will be listed out of the 15 I received. Outdated pieces, and stuff from Forever 21 and target. 2 didn't even have brand tags and clearly weren't of value. These are things I wouldnt even pick up at the bins. I'm so glad to see this video, and I've had other resellers say the same. I'm sure I would have made my money back, but it wouldn't be worth my time or supplies really.

    I enjoyed your video and how you show how you look up comps but this box was not worth the money in my opinion. I also purchased a box a plus sized one and 2 of the items I couldn’t resale because of the condition and it was a lot of outdated and probably bad buys on her end pawning off to be someone else’s problem. Not worth it to me 🤷🏽‍♀️

  • @Polarbear-zy6vf

    So pretty much Nicole sent you the stuff she knew she would have a hard time reselling herself. Very typical of her. She is the type that wont do anything for anybody if there is nothing in it for her. Didnt have that opinion of her until recently.

    • @danielburton1292
      @danielburton1292 Před 5 lety +1

      Let's be honest any reseller that puts together a "mystery" or reseller box, are not going to send you shit they can sell at a good profit on their own. Wouldn't make sense. But I will say from watching Nicole as well as many other resellers channels for a while, in her case, she really has waaaaaaaaay to much stuff, and needs to unload some of it.

    This is an old video now, but Nicole state was considered to be quite an amazing reseller at one point and I was quite the fan and over the years I have learned that I was a little optimistic. I’m not exactly sure of how she does business overall, I’ve just seen what I have gotten from her and I was not impressed and I have heard of people being terribly disappointed. You did a fair review and you didn’t just come off like a hater which honestly kept me on her side for a long time because you know haters hate. I don’t hate her. I just think that she’s lost her way with the integrity of her reselling.
    I wish she would double down and focus on quality items and integrity and what she’s advertising/delivering. She had a great way of communicating and teaching, and I learned a lot from her and I can’t take that away from her. I just wish she would get back to basics and do the right thing.

    • @AmberResells

    • @hopewalker5764
      @hopewalker5764 Před 6 lety +6

    • @BriarRose91
      @BriarRose91 Před 6 lety

      Hope Walker maybe for some sellers won't but I've been able to sell old tag loft for over 15 I believe on Poshmark I believe I sold one for 18 but it had sequin and stuff. My own experience.

    • @hopewalker5764
      @hopewalker5764 Před 6 lety +1

      Rosa Klochkov right. It’s rare and based upon style. The junk NS sent her is gonna sit or sell for nothing v. Spending less and getting better inventory.

      @Posh Babe Is she the nicest person in the world or best business partner...probably not but that's irrelevant to me. When I started reselling I learned from her her bolo brands, style vs Rn numbers and how to use "sold" listings to my benefit. What she did to Lindey Glenn really let me down but I have to be grateful for what I picked up from her. As far as Casey & "Jessica Smith" goes, I believe they are exploiting other ppls issues for ratings while Nicole still keeps her videos about thrifting.

    The only thing that makes me not care to support Nicole is the fact that she makes so much money but lives in an area where the amount she makes is still poverty and she stays there because they live by a nike center where she gets them new with tags. Now what bothers me is since she lives in an area where her income is still poverty wages, her kids go to a school where donations have to be sent for basic books and glue sticks. Now if those were my kids I would leave that area for the kids sake. Why spend $300 a day on inventory and be proud of how much you make when your kids education is suffering. I dont hate the girl, I just feel her focus is on the wrong thing. Great video by the way! Very informative!

    • @kiradottsshop4132
      @kiradottsshop4132 Před 6 lety +4

      Nicole sells way more than just Nike so shes not staying there just for that. You've got to consider that her older child has a different father who is involved in his kids life. She can't just up and leave. Secondly EVERY school needs and asks for donations. My son goes to a school rated 9/10 on greatschools.com and is in a very high end neighborhood but I get flyers and handouts every couple weeks about a new fundraiser or donation event. The internet is a great tool but you can never know someones full story from what they choose to share on it.

If her kids weren’t getting a good education, I don’t think she’d stay in the area just because of a Nike factory. Schools can need donations and still have a wonderful staff and teaching methods.

      Hope Walker what's called "lying"? Do you know her personally? I don't. I dont even know enough to make a personal judgment about her. I'm appreciative for what she chooses to share. If I dont like it, I look elsewhere. I'm not perfect and I certainly dont have the thick skin to put myself out there to be critiqued as they are. State your opinion and move on. To continually state it and make videos about it feels like bullying and I want no part of that. We dont know what people are dealing with in their lives. Be kind.

      jenny workout if you don’t know the definition of lying, I’d suggest staying in school. If you don’t know enough about her previous and current business practice, do your research. And good for you for being appreciative. What is your point? That we shouldn’t point out the deception or the heinous business practices because it hurts your personal sensibilities? If so, get real. At this point it’s a bloody public service to speak out against this bullshit and if you want to stay ignorant, ok. Others don’t and you aren’t the center of the universe.

Lane Bryant is flooded, even in plus. It will sit forever and there is no way you will get $18 for them. No chance. XS jacket won’t sell until the fall but it’s Anthro so you will sell it for around $20 if you hold it. Ann Klein only sells if it is NWT and it will sit. A Petite AK is a joke. $5 if lucky used. I could go on but you get the drift. She is dumping her junk on the community. You can get sooooo much better by focused searches in your own thrift and even more at the bins. I spent $10 at the bins two days ago and I’m already in profit over $100. I spent 15 minutes in there.

      Shawna Thomas actually it’s not. They sell clothing in all sizes. And if it sells well for you, then you’re selling NWT or so cheap you’re giving it away after it sits. Clearly I am talking about the junk Nicole sent her and the usual rubbish one finds on eBay.

      Hope Walker no, im sorry Lane Bryant only sells plus size... ive always been plus size, have shopped there for years and even had their cc at one time...i have never sold a NWT piece of LB merch... i do agree with you on the rest though, the box was crap.

      Shawna Thomas aww honey, bless you. Just because you only shop in plus doesn’t mean that’s all they sell. It’s ok. Trot on over to their website and drop in size 8. See what happens. You’re welcome. Bless your heart. And as I wrote, if you’re giving it away it or it’s NWT, it moves. Otherwise the market is flooded (again easily proven through search folks) and the box is junk. Brand is only part of the equation in almost everything sold on eBay. She got a box of junk and Nicole go to dump her assistant’s bin errors. Best of Luck.

    Excellent review video. I like how you showed potential profit in a realistic way. I think these boxes are good for beginners or people who have limited places to source. Not much profit but a good way to get started.
