This system is copied from the @technsports inventory system. He has sorted by date for 10+ years, I just recently switched the last few years. My supply list is at www.amazon.com/shop/influencer-cee28c74/ref=cm_sw_r_tw_loc_O5mqBb8B7AM06
This makes so much sense now! I used to wonder why exactly this system was better….knowing what is oldest is game changing and makes perfect logic. Thank you so much for explaining this so well! Now I actually want to do mine this way!
So glad I watched your videos before I started eBay, I can easily see and pull old items and have not lost an item in inventory in over a year. I used plastic totes, but I need to get shelves and boxes once I get fulltime.
Thanks for this video Chris! Although I’m not thanking you for the storage part lol but rather I finally saw your picture station and realized it’s lifted. So I just changed my setup to my bed and using a gray background. Game changer! Was able to do 14 sets of photos in 20mins 😆 this momma needed it as I’m 6 weeks postpartum and chasing a 3 year old around. Having 2 kids is teaching me how to do eBay the fastest!!
@@stephanienoble2926 yes but no one can tell it’s my bed. I have a queen size and I bought fabric that’s gray to lay over my bed. I was taking pictures on a vertical flat lay and then tried the floor but the floor was hard on back. So I switched to the bed and it’s way faster for taking photos
I sell jewelry and have bins and bins and boxes and boxes (and it goes on) and not so great at organizing, losing stuff, etc. I have over 300 pieces of jewelry on eBay, Mercari and over 500 on Poshmark. I should probably start doing something like this. I do like the fact that they are already packed (I have special bags for my jewelry) and that way everything stays clean and doesn't get damaged. I just wouldn't have time to do what I have already online. This is great information!
I use totes and refill and mark down any leftovers when i got to refill them every 6 months or so. This saves me time as i hold another job until i am making double my work income.
Thanks for all of your great content! Do you find that 10x13 poly mailers handle all of your types of clothing? Also, is your unit temperature controlled? I'm expanding into using my non temp controlled shed, but worry about mold if kept in plastic bags.
I am trying sequential numbering for books, because it's important not to misplace things. But although it's all one category, the issue is all the different sizes (plus the weight). Small and large in one box would not really work and is a waste of space too. Think I'll have a separate shelf at the bottom for large ones. Date-based still sounds best, rather than randomly filling in gaps and losing things.
@@jodiegrace2849 - thanks, yes I have watched her videos and got some insight. I still want a sequential numbering system, rather than filling in gaps on shelves. That way old stock will always be at the start.
Are your shelves 24'' deep? My shelves are 14'' deep, so I'm trying to decide on the optimal length of boxes (for clothing). I'm thinking I'll start with a batch of 28'' long boxes and see how those do. I'd love to go 30'', but I am already nervous if 28'' will sag too much. Anyhow, thanks for sharing!
Hi Chris! Thank you for everything you provide to the reselling community. I want a store consisting of 3000 items which will be clothing. From your experience, how many shelves and boxes would I need (estimate)?
But this way you have to use so many stickers? And do you ship with these plastic bags or reuse it? I like your previous system without infinity numbers
I have actually made this mistake so it is possible. When the sku in eBay gets typed wrong or if you sell similar and forget to change the sku in the system.
@@dailyrefinement That helps! but id still be worried. For me, this system combined with thematic storage would make sense, so if I miss-number I know roughly where it is due to what type of item it is.
so if you add the number/bag the item AFTER you list it at what point do you enter the custom SKU, do you go back and update your listing with it? That seems sort of inefficient.
Your system is a good idea, but I am thinking of using plastic bins instead of cardboard boxes. I sell a lot of toys and giftware what idea or way do you think I should organize and store it. Thanks so much for the tips.
Thanks for the great videos. I looked for you on Poshmark I didn't find you. What is your Poshname name? Also, Will you be going to Phonex this month? I also live in Ca. and would like to meet you. It will be my first Conference and I'm looking forward to it.
Good thing I didn’t drop the money on the clothes racks you recommended but now I’m afraid if I get the storage shelves you’ll start recommending something else lol
