My name is Jake Rider I’m a full time eBay reseller in Utah. I get most my items to flip from thrift stores and garage sales. The purpose of this channel is to give tips and advice to further your side hustle, hobby, or career. I’ll be posting entertaining sourcing videos from time to time, however the focus of this channel will be on information and best practices while reselling mostly used good on the internet!

I understand about the sell through rate. But, i have quite a bit of inventory that I didn't source (my husband passed, my grandpa passed, family members keep giving me stuff etc.) and many times I don't find any information for my items. or it will say "no exact matches" but show me exact items. Which means I don't have a number to divide. Am I making sense? How do I decide what to list and what to trash with little to no information about the item? I am spending so much time researching and trying to find my exact items.
What would you say to a buyer with these questions about a listed item? "Good Morning When you remove the lens from the camera body and shine an led flashlight through the lens itself does the glass look clear all the way through? Is there a white substance around the interior walls of the lens? Does the lens focus ring and aperture ring move smoothly? Are there scratches on the lens glass? Does the camera body film advance lever work smoothly? Is the view through the eyepiece cloudy or clear. Thank You j j" I just replied, sorry I can't address all the questions you asked, but item is tested and working". Was I wrong?
Hi still new still learning. I haven’t listed anything yet. There’s one thing I don’t understand. When I see a listing on EBay the shipping is already calculated. How does that happen? Is this based on US Only no matter what state? Thanks.

So what is in demand? Do you have sources you use to find “in demand” products? I thought you were going to set up a link for that video you did a while back, something about 10,000 ….
Do you check everything to make sure it works and if so how? For example the remotes, seems like it would be hard to check if you don’t have a compatible device. I’d be afraid to sell something if I didn’t know if it was working. Thanks for the video. I appreciate your approach to help others 😊
I went to a garage sale and felt funny looking things up on my phone since I overheard the seller say she looked something up herself to see how much it was worth. And she also was aware of which items she was selling that were vintage. What do you say to someone that asks you what are doing? Do you think they will be offended? Do you think once they know what you are doing they will raise their price? Lol
Hi I’m a beginner seller and get confused easy You said over 30 Orvis xl shirts have sold each day for 90 days. How did you come up with that number? 2200/90=24 or 1000/90=11 or ? Thanks for sharing your information!
Oh man thank you. I currently have over 150 filler drafts that I just know are not worth the time to make live. But was told I need to list X a day so I spent the time to make those drafts to play with the algorithm. I am going to come out with my unique hard hitters that I know will sell. Then be stupid careful with shipping on items that should be sold with local pickup. You so just saved me tons of work and headaches. Thank you
I’m so lucky that I live in a rural area where I schedule a porch pickup for the uSPS. My mail carrier is amazing and has always scanned my packages immediatel
Getting into golf clubs....you literally called me out with that Titleist DCI 4 iron...lol. Love your content man! I've grown so much learning from you!
Ran into a bunch of bs just trying to connect after paying...would not connect to my laptop or phone, cancelled immediately! Customer service was not Prompt at all to my request!!!
Best video ever...it's so sad to see so many "the sky is falling" videos on RU-vid complaining about ebay. I always wonder--Why are you selling on ebay if it's so bad? Haha
While watching this video you had just finished saying "What items are in demand" and I heard the "cha-ching" on my phone. I looked and it was a pair of brand new with tags Speedo Men's swim shorts size large. America is in a heat wave. People are hitting the water. I paid $6 for them and they sold for $22.50. $15 profit all day.
There are about five resellers that I watch every single day so that I can continuously learn more and more about reselling what to pick how much to spend all of that and I am so grateful to you all You're one of them Jake thank you thank you thank you I call it my homework I'm doing my homework daily. Sorry I'm voice texting this so I hope it comes out all right lol, I'm driving 😁
Talking about conspiracy… Until last week, I thought that Ebay or other platforms knew somehow that I leave my state/country, because I would have really bad weeks/months, and the second I get on the plane, sales go through the roof lol it was happening that many times, that my sister told me to go for vacation more often lol But turned out, that I simply started choosing better inventory and listing consistently and I feel like that sales are more consistent now, even when I am home 😂😂😂 P.S. love your videos, learned a lot from them. Hoping to see you one day sourcing in Vegas 😜
