We've been more selective when thrifting. After going through our profits in 2021, we were buying too many low margin items. Thank you for mentioning time to find the item + gas you spend. A lot of people forget to include that!
Along the lines of VHS tapes is to always be on the look out for the Head Cleaners. I have done really well with those usually picking them up for under $1 and they typically go for $20-$25 and sell VERY fast and cheap to ship.
One of your best vlogs! Sourcing and reselling in a nutshell. You are one of the few that always takes us thrifting. As to why you pick not pick up the item while you guys are in the thrift store. You bounce off what you guys think of the item. Greet video. 💕
I have bought and sold since I could walk, probably why I retired at 40 over 15 years ago . People pick what they are comfortable with at first and slowly expand by watching what others are actually selling. Trends are ok but they don't last, so you must be prepared for the sudden shift... picking new things should feel comfortable , not forced or suggested by just anyone. ⚡👁️
Really solid tip on the gooseneck kettles! I'll add one that I've done well with: Electric Woks. I've sold half a dozen West Bend electric woks and I think they've all fetched $100+
My general rule is 5X the money plus shipping with the realization that I may have to sell it at 3X the money shipped. If there is no profit at that lower number I will pass. The closer I get to the lower number the higher the sell through rate needs to be.
This great advice. Very similar to what I do. I love flea markets I always find $1-3 items that would be 8-10 at Goodwill but sell these $1-3 items for 30-50 bucks. I'm breaking off into hand tools more. That's what's available in my area. Finding items that are always available in your area is great.
I appreciate this video so much! As a part time reseller, I have to go after work and I am finding that the market is so flooded with resellers now, that I think most all the "good" stuff is gone before I get there at 4:00. So I have been reduced to only low end items and it is not been good lately. Knowing what NOT to buy helps a ton! Thanks! Keep up the great work!
Allot of popular CZcams resellers make videos picking up allot of bad items and overpaying for low sell through items. I think they make these videos for content. It’s refreshing to hear you talk about things not to buy! Keep up the good work Ryan
100% you’re right on the money there. Pun intended 😉
ok but now we need a RalliGardens channel or series because those plants are impressive
awesome tips Ryan! Ive had amazing luck with mugs, surprisingly tho my starbucks ones have taken longer to sell, but I still pick 'em up. Disney has been amazing pickups for me, I sold a cinderella mug this week for $30 :))) And I also came to learn that Anthropologie mugs designed by certain artists have high value, sold one last year for $50!
I absolutely love watching you, Allie and Callie. You give out some of the best information for reseller out there today. Keep up the good work and never change. Love you guys!!!
This was a wonderful video Ryan! Love the explainers for each dud and the honest lessons learned. Growth mindset, learning from both the downs and ups. :)
2022 content creators have to make Pass videos instead of haul videos, because so few buys are worth it at Greedwill hehe
I don’t like haul video. I feel the reseller need to show you as to why you pick the item in the midst of racks of racks of clothes.
I just LOVE your property, the beautiful trees all over, and it's sooo serene...
This exactly what I needed to start off the new year. I know some of this stuff but like most people I need to be reminded. You all continue to be amazing! Love you all so much!
Yeah, good luck with 1% of the information you receive.
been running a little vintage mug hustle because I found a thrift nearby that sells flawless ones for 25 cents lol 🙏🏼❤️
Don't ruin it for yourself, others will happily destroy your supply by buying them all up.
This changes the game when you find items cheaper locally than others can . I always see aluminum and glass lids to saucepans and crock pots for .25 , I'm l going to look into them , I know I'm missing out but don't know how much
Just a heads up. In my area Washington state, we are now putting out new items through out the day, not just in the morning, or closing times. We (me being a manager at a goodwill) found that if we put things out through out the day, it gets people in a few times a day. I have one guy who shows up before opening. Comes back around 1pm, and again at 6pm. We get so much product at my store we have to keep it going out on floor, so not to have to send out to warehouse to go to other stores.
Nice!
Thanks for the heads up! I'm in WA also, what area??
I’m in Vancouver, you should lower the prices a bit
I am in Kansas City. Our stores put items out closer to 11 and then every two hours after that. We have 5 or 6 stores. Each has a different style of merchandise depending on the area area. One storw may have older vintage and antique items where another will have high-end clothing and household goods. Each has a different schedule for putting out new merchandise. You are correct in saying know your stores, learn them, and then set your course accordingly.
I really enjoyed this video and learned a lot from it. My husband and I have sold part time on eBay since 2002 but have only sold a couple different categories , and We are trying to get outside our comfort zones, so it is fun to learn what to look for and what is not worth our time ! Thank you ! 😁
This was an awesome video. I often wanted to go into a thrift with a really knowledgable person who could show me the ropes. This was a great one-one of your best.
I am thrilled that you explained why you do not buy something. I have been saying this for years. Most newer buyers do not get it. Glad you put it out there. Also, be really open minded when going to a thrift store. Excellent content❤
Great idea breaking down the stay aways.
when I go into Goodwill I always carry my own giant carrying bag on me. I do this because a shopping cart makes it difficult to maneuver and go through the lanes. I can carry a lot in giant bag. Also it makes it easier for me to throw the first item that I can make money into it. Because before I would go into Goodwill and see one Item and not be motivated to grab it because I had no bag then I would walk out missing good deals if I just focused on the store.
Gonna start looking at kettles!
Great video!! We’d also like to see the items you list that don’t sell, how much you lower the price, and what you end up doing with them if they just don’t sell. Is there a minimum you’ll sell them for.
I know this video was a departure from your normal routine, but I found this to be far more informative. Thank you.
I usually only source for sneakers and clothes since that’s what I’ve had the best luck with in my area but I’ve been watching you guys for a long time now and I’ve learned so much from every video! Especially the ones like these thank you so much and keep up the great content 💪🏽
Whoa on the solds of the JAWS vhs ! 😳 I’m always on the hunt for vintage horror movie tapes. No luck yet, but I keep looking. Will be looking more at all of the NEW tapes. 🦈 I love the tip to get out of your comfort zone. Friends always ask me what I’m looking for and I say …OHhhhh about 100 different things at any given time. You just never know what will appear and that is the fun of it ! 🤓
Thanks for the information.
Can you show, step by step, on how to check the " sold comps " on Ebay?
I love it that you tell us why you did not buy certain items. I learn. I also have common sense and stopped watching another channel where the husband and wife bought shoes that have flaws, like loose soles. They also have not figured out that they work harder for less money because they do not concentrate on profit percentages. They would have bought those jeans and been happy with a $10 profit.
The Goodwill i go to has a color of the week-50% off. Wednesdays are 99¢ day for clothes with the week’s color tag. So I now wait until Wednesday to buy clothing unless the brand is a sure sell.
Senior discounts too usually one day a week. Age may vary in different areas. It's 55 in my location.
Don’t be Harry Tornado - Don’t pay up on trash. Great vid
We’ve been in this too long to make bad buys 😉
Good morning Ryan. These r really good tips. Always a pleasure to watch u guys. Thanks.
Awesome! Glad you enjoyed the vid :)
I watch a lot of CZcamsrs posting similar content, but your video are always the most informative. Keep it up
Cheers 🍻 :)
Thanks for the tips, I learn something new every time I watch one of your videos.
Over just the last few months goodwills prices are going crazy. Anything that has value is priced at 80% of ebay comps. Almost like they're looking at ebay when they price things. I've bn going to goodwill less and less
That's been happening for a few years now. There's a lot of vids talking about it. They're very greedy. I go to the 50% off days and drop a few bills, which gives me months of merch to list!
We have a goodwill here that was taping screen prints of eBay comps to electronics items while listing about 15-20% below the quoted comp. I don’t waste my gas going to that goodwill anymore.
@@Jabruzar lol...yep starting to think goodwill is officially dead as far as reselling. The employees buy the good stuff as it gets dropped off. Week ago saw the guy outside buy pair LL bean boots 3.99$.
@@ohno1017 I have 3 other Goodwills within 20 miles of my house that are still producing. Sooner or later, they will learn that it’s the resellers keeping them in business.
@@Jabruzar ABSOLUTELY...the shelves are packed at the 2 goodwills by me. Go everyday and Nothing is moving. Hope they get it eventually
I sold a Hollister for $45 on ebay. I got it for $6.99 at Goodwill. The shirt was new with tags. I did charge for shipping, still a good shirt that sells.
Great video. Very solid tips. If you are new to reselling, listen to this man.
I live in Canada. the area is not heavily populated so it is a long drive to even one Goodwill, as of Jan 1st, they have more than doubled the prices on shoes and every other item has been pumped up about 30%, so I have to become more creative about where to find items. There are no garage sales because we have 2 feet of snow currently...lol. I did find online auctions within an hour drive for picks ups after I buy. Facebook Marketplace is also something I have started to buy through. Our postage fees here are easily double the cost of USPS so it is difficult to buy an item and list it on eBay in a way to make a profit but I keep trying. Ryan, you said to keep an open mind about what you might sell successfully, I think in today's market, that is the best advice, thank you!
Thank you for sharing 👍
I really like your thoughts for new sellers. When I first started I was doing nothing but shoes and alittle bit of clothes. Some days I'd get 15+ things and 2 days later I'd get 2 or 3. Now I'm in any category that can make money. Nothing against other CZcamsrs but some out there are telling new people to start in 1 lane and stay in it. But in the end there's gonna be days you find nothing. Keep up the good work.
This was seriously an eye opener. Thank you
Thanks for the tip about the new racks. When I see them come out those portable racks, I get pumped up, but I don't want to interfere with the hardworking employees. Wasn't sure what to do. I guess I just could have asked if it was okay to take a peek.
Thank you for the information. Your right, now alot of people show the bad things that are in the thrift and i like that you explained why not to pick these up. See you for the next one.
One of my top three reselling goals for this year is to be more attentive to sell through rate. Glad you mentioned it again. Thanks for all you do !! Sorry I missed the Monday live show…my pesky day job got in my way of the important stuff. Gina in Wisconsin,
As always great info and tips. Funny I have already learned all this but just you reminding me helps me stay focused. Speaking of Focused I do not know if its my screen or if you upped the game on your recording camera but it almost seems like I could reach out and touch you. The video is so clear and sharp. Much respect for all you do.
I love selling kettles unfortunately in my area 95% of the electric kettles don’t have the base not sure if they are donated that way or if the employees don’t realize what they are. Good video!!
This video is amazing!!.. you know I've been watching you guys for years and I still learn so much for you...totally didnt know about the helmets...thank you for doing this!
My son works with Specialized. He is a manager at a regional bike shop. And yes Ryan, he has a few bikes, lol.
Great tips! Thank you
This was super helpful! Thank you so much!
Loving the cinematic shots!!!!! Taking reseller youtube to the next level!
Thanks for the helmet info I wasn’t aware of that. Another good mug to look for are Disney ones. Ive sold some pretty high dollar ones in the past.
I predict certain DVD's and Blu Rays will become highly sought after one day because of the bonus features, you don't get those on Netflix and I suspect people will hear about how certain DVD's have awesome bonus features for fans of that particular film.
Great video Ryan, thank you for always sharing your knowledge of reselling over the years I know many of us got into reselling because of you and I'll always be grateful for that much love and respect
Good informative video, first of yours that I've seen. But... that hat, that brim. Oh my.
Thank you. I like the "Just Ryan" videos and to the point(no fluff).
Love the content, love your channel!!
I Truly Appreciate the Effort and Knowledge that You Put Forth in this Video,.Positively Empowering.
My favorite is definitely the black and gold lion king shirt
Thanks Ryan. Very helpful information. Enjoyed this video as much as the others.
You are a great motivater you need to be a motavational speaker & teacher. Thank you for all your help.
I've noticed the last 10 years or so that Goodwill has become WAY too expensive. So much so, that I don't even go there anymore. Other, less greedy thrift stores are much better. Many times I've seen used items for sale at Goodwill that are far less expensive when purchased at Wal-Mart or Dollar stores! It's hard to believe they are even classified as a "non-profit" organization. Their executives earn exorbitant salaries and employees are paid bare minimum and aren't treated well in my opinion. They may employee those with "barriers to employment" such as the disabled and ex-cons but they aren't really a "charity" in the sense of providing food, housing, shelter, clothing , disaster relief, or free drug and alcohol treatment to those in need. I would much rather give to and shop at thrift stores operated by organizations that do.
Thanks for the help! Great video!
Tell callie i appreciate those artistic skills on that snapback i purchased
I watch a lot of seller video's, and I must say buy far this is one of the best and very informative that I have watch in a while. Love the way you think. Please put more info out like this. I'm new to selling and wish I had some of this info early. THANK YOU! DealMasterKim
Really appreciate that 🙏🏻❤️
Thank you for the tips. It would be nice to find old John Wayne VHS movies.
I have some in my store
@@Axis.Mundis. Lucky you.
I found 100 sealed John Wayne VHS at our Salvation Army Thrift store. They wanted a buck a piece or if you bought in bulk 10 for a $1. Sold a bulk lot recently of the war ones have a few more bulk lots listed but have many i still need to list..all westerns
Thanx 4 being real
Thanks Ryan, great tips. Good to know what items are not good to do. Thanks.
Yeah i had to expand my reselling..i bought a vintage magmun p i model never used but opened everything was there still in tack...sold 79.99 2 dollars...next to it was a vintage mustang 2 bucks..sold for 29.99....i also been lucky with speakers.. Peavey Speakers and AMP..all in 87.00.. Still waiting on sale currently listed for 299.00..room to come down.
I like the space that ur recording in, zen feel to it.
Sounds to me like that particular Goodwill was cutting out the middle man and clearly doesn't want to sell to re-sellers. I would avoid a place that did that, let them see how well they do when they chase away 65% of their likely clientelle.
Great video. You might consider including what to buy when you are discussing what not to buy. An example would be not to buy Magellan Gps....but buy Garmin with LTM (Lifetime maps). AS A RULE they have a higher resale value....Ha!!!! You do it on clothes. Lol
Very informative, thank you!
Great video lots of good information
Thank you for making this kind of content
Found the exact same Lady Gaga in Texas a few weeks ago!! 🤔 Sold it for $30 out of a local vintage shop a week later
if you know the employees you can always ask them how many more bins are coming out.That has served me well
Great video, love this subject.
Great video. I bought two of your vintage t shirt lots....WAY OUT OF MY COMFORT ZONE. Thank you
This is a very helpful video! Thanks for sharing your knowledge with us!
That was a Excellent. Thank you from Australia.
Thanks for the video and information
Thanks
Bro have u ever thought about buying storages? I can give you some tips how to get storages with x20-x40 profit easy
For sure :) we used to buy a lot of them years ago, just a bit too much work for us.
Awesome video man. A lot of great info and tips!
Enjoy these informative videos also!! Always learning something from all of you pro’s👍👍❤️
Very helpful, thank you!
Great Video Ryan this was great I watched the whole thing. Honestly Im dead set on the Homerun finds but my thrifts and Goodwills produce them, then I get out my Comfort Zone and buy a few weird stuff now and then. Thanks for sharing man.
Great video. Thanks for sharing your knowledge.
Great video, been trying to get some other CZcamsrs to do similar. You see them shop and they price what they got but why did they put certain items back or skip. Especially if it seems like something they normally pick up, so what about that one made it a bad deal. Definitely trying to learn as much about all areas as I can so at the very least it peak my interest to try to look it up.
Thank you soooo much for these videos. Some of the thrift stores have things that you think would sell, but turn out to be dogs. I now check everything online before I buy. Keep up the good works and thanks again.
I have done decent with mall or general brands in lots of 2 or more. Most places by me are fill a bag for 3 to 5 dollars so my costs are low. So same size can get $20 profit off 3 shirts. I have no idea what happened Tommy Bahama. Mine are collecting dust and prices are good.
Or you can use Google Lens, take a picture of item and usually tell you the value
Thank you
Thanks great things to learn!!
Sick intro dude ! I appreciate the effort you put into those shots A+
🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻
Fantastic tips Ryan now can you give me tips to make me like my lousy thrift stores? I love garage sales but the thrift stores are bad here. Did you notice my whine? Lol
I really like that video. More like that would be really helpful. Thanks for all that you guys do.
Thank you for the video. Great information! 💖
Great info! Thx
