This is very helpful. The way you guys are picking out quality items instead of junk and making a profit is amazing. Also the Austin bins resellers are probably relieved y’all left lol
Thank you for watching and commenting! And haha we have to go through quite a bit of junk to get to the good stuff 😅 and honestly in Austin there were some reaaaaaally good resellers for sure, but I’m sure that less competition anywhere is helpful haha
You 2 are absolutely awesome!!! I love your videos!!! I’m so tired of “Thrift with me” videos! Now you’re giving me ideas on how to level up my business. THANK YOU!!!!! ❤️❤️❤️
Thank you so much for the kind comment! We definitely wanted to make our channel as education based as possible and appreciate you noticing that! (Though I will admit I do love a good thrift with me haha)
Good morning from San Diego ❤
Just love you two, so wholesome, kind, and frickin smart!!
Good morning! Haha thank you so much that’s so kind of you to say :) Sean says he wishes he was in SD right now - SF is a little chilly this morning
This is the best video I’ve ever watched in my life. You guys are so generous for sharing this knowledge!! I have been wanting to start wholesaling used clothing but never knew the name of it or what it even could be. This is so inspiring and I cant wait to start!
I was wondering how you do shipping for your clients, do you offer free shipping or do they pay?
Thank you so much for this super kind comment! :) We’re both really happy you found it to be valuable for you and your business. :)
We personally charge a flat fee for our items that includes shipping - it comes out to between 10 - 25 cents per piece depending on which client we’re shipping out to, the size and weight of the items and where they live.
Both of you are the best people, best channel!!! Thank you so much, excellent info and motivational speakers, love you!!!
Thank you so much for the kind comment! We’re so glad you liked this video and our content so far, we appreciate you watching! :)
Good morning guys, nice to run into you here!!!
Good morning!! Haha it is isn’t it? :)
Inspiring! Thank you for sharing ♥️♥️
It’s also good to know that there are other sourcing options out there!
100%! There are SO many ways to make money as a reseller - the skill set is so strong and that’s one of the things I love so much about it! Thank you for watching and commenting we appreciate you :)
I am a mom with a 1 yr old and sourcing is hard with a little one in tow. Properly comping items is nearly impossible. So you are completely correct, this is an incredible service for resale moms. ❤️
Loved the quick math on $30 net profit 😁
Haha Sean literally dropped out of college after one year because he hated math… and it shows sometimes 😂😅
Great video! Love the info!
Thanks so much for watching and commenting!
You guys are so inspiring!! I sell vintage clothing and home decor in an antique mall (very successful!), but would love to branch out…what a great idea for a 5 year plan! 🙌🏻
Thank you so much for the kind comment! :) we both LOVE vintage clothes haha that’s so cool!
You guys are so awesome great content I learned a lot from you . Thanks for sharing
Thank you so much for watching and commenting! We appreciate you :)
Or even a course of what sells in each platform better (in this case for the reseller), I only sell on eBay so that’s what I’m good at but would love to learn what sells well in other platforms.
You guys are doing such an awesome job!
Thanks so much! We appreciate the kind words.
We do have a course/mentorship program called resellers edge university where we have videos, course materials, a Facebook group, and 3x live weekly coaching calls - if you’re interested you can definitely check it out!
You guys are awesome! -Radikal Rags
Thank you so much! That’s really nice of you to comment we appreciate you :)
❤❤❤THANK YOU SO MUCH ❤❤❤
Thank you for watching!
Super helpful videos! Thank you!
so do you guys do your regular reselling business plus wholesaling? Or just wholesaling right now?
Hi! Thanks for watching and commenting :) we wholesale and sell on whatnot mostly, and occasionally will list some higher end items on eBay
? I understand the freesom of not doing individual listings. How do you communicate what you have available to your buyers? A video? Thank you for such great information and inspiration
Hi! There are many ways to show your buyers what you have - we mentioned them in the video and you could also do video calls or send a video too! We personally ship our packages out and have our clients select them once they’ve been received. :) thank you for your comment and for watching!
Maybe you guys can create a course for wholesale and have a list of those people so we can buy from them.
Hi! Thank you so much for your comment :) we do have a coaching program that we co-run with another reselling team and aside from reselling on platforms, we do also teach wholesale in that program!
There are several Facebook groups that connect resellers with wholesalers too - one that we know the group mod is called “Resellers connection with wholesalers/pickers”
Can you guys do an indepth video on shipping of wholesaling and storage till you ahip it
Hi! Thanks for watching and for your comment :) we go into depth about our entire wholesale process in our reseller group, and we can definitely think on making more videos regarding wholesale in the future!
Are you referring to volume or valium?
Great video!
Hi! Volume - a lot of items needing to be moved. :)
Great video, thank you! I was wondering if you sell each piece for $7.50 no matter what the item is? For example, regardless of whether it’s a tank top or jacket, is it still $7.50 each? Also, are you checking STR on every single item you source? Thank you 🙏🏼
Hi! Great question :) we charge $6.50 - $7.50 right now for pieces that would sell for around the $35+ ASP with a relatively strong sell through rate. If the tank top and jacket both had a similar asp and sell through rate, then yes! We are not comping every single item because we have been doing this for quite a long time and have also have a good grasp on current trends/brands/asp’s/STR of these pieces. If we aren’t sure, we of course comp!
Also, we allow our clients to select pieces they want so they are welcome to leave behind any pieces they don’t feel confident they can sell for a price they’re happy with.
@@TrashPandasThrift Thank you, that is very helpful 😁
Hello guys!, we are your followers, and we were looking forward to your video! If possible, guys, please turn on the subtitles option, because we do not understand English very well, we are just learning. Thank you very much!❤❤❤
Hi! We’ll definitely go into settings and try and figure out why it isn’t working. Thank you so much for being a viewer! We appreciate you :)

Hi, this is great for introverts. How do people buy from you?
Hi! We are currently not accepting Amy clients as we’ve reached our max capacity for sourcing - we’re hoping this video may inspire others to start wholesaling too to provide this much needed service to the community!
Can someone who currently has en eBay store already selling clothes maybe test the waters wholesaling lots on eBay to see what works then maybe move outside Ebay once you feel comfortable that you can do it? Im thinking of selling smaller lots on eBay first (5-25 piece lots) Thx for any feedback.
Hi! Personally I wouldn’t sell lots on eBay itself - the goal for wholesaling the way that we do is to resell to other resellers, which might be harder to target on eBay itself, and also the fees, shipping costs, potential for platform issues, etc. would make me hesitant to sell reseller lots on eBay.
You certainly CAN, definitely not saying it’s not possible, but I would much prefer to reach out on social media or even post in Facebook groups or other communities that you’re offering those lots. You’ll keep a MUCH higher percentage, you’ll have full control over the shipping process, and you won’t have to worry about platform issues because you’ll be dealing direct with buyers.

Curious- why did you move from Austin if you sold 1000 items,week?
We wanted to move to San Francisco! We prioritized our happiness and life wants, and figured out how to grow the business in San Francisco to selling less items and making close to the same amount of income. We chose happiness :)
GREAT INFORMATION. My son is joining me to help with my business and I would like to get into wholesale because me and him together we source great items. I’m not a CZcamsr so do you think it would be hard to get clients?
Hi! That’s so awesome for you and your son and sounds extremely exciting!
Sean and I had basically zero following on any social media and did not have our CZcams channel until less than a month ago!
Also, the demand for good wholesalers is SO high in the reseller community you should have no problem finding clients :)
Why did you leave Texas for San Francisco..?
Sean and I are originally from Brooklyn, New York and missed being in a city with public transit, walkability, diverse restaurants and cultures, etc. We visited San Francisco in July of last year, fell in love and moved 3 months later!
Kaaaaay, but who the f moves to SF in 2023?
Not really sure the point of your comment, but I guess I’ll answer? Us, and other people move to SF… because we want to.
❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
Maybe you've covered this in another video. But why did you guys move from Austin to San Francisco?
Hi! Thanks for watching and for your comment :) personally sean and I just wanted to live in San Francisco! We both grew up in Brooklyn New York and missed living in a city, so we visited SF, fell in love and decided to move here!
