Good video thanks! If you haven't done already, cut out a little square at the bottom of the board to allow room for your feet or put the board on top of two cinder blocks or something.
Great video, very helpful. Instead of expensive plywood, try an 8'x4' sheet of 1 inch insulation from either big orange or big blue. Much cheaper and its basically styrofoam. Since it boils down to just needing a large flat surface that can be tilted and which has texture to hold clothes in place, that insulation is perfect. Much cheaper than plywood and its lighter and much easier to move around.
We've been using something similar for quite a while. We have ours raised off the floor on a low table kind of thing. That allows my feet to go under it so I have less leaning forward when getting everything laid out right. Leaning is hard on my old man back.
Super helpful. IDK if you're still reselling and/or making youtube videos with this kind of content but if you ARE, I'd love to see your setup...I work out of my attic as well but struggle finding ways to work (and store my inventory) around its A-frame structure. :-)
Anyone know what type of cardboard boxes Nick is using? The Ziploc bags fit perfectly in them. Looks like maybe a vegetable box from the grocery can't quite tell.
Hey Josie, great question. They are 22x12x10 cardboard boxes. I bought them on Amazon. I edited the description of this video to include the links for the boxes as well as the bags. Hope that helps!
Question...does the rough wood cause snags to the fabric? You painted it? Glossy or Matte paint? Can you let us see the item longer so we can see what the background looks like in the picture. Thank you so much for the tips. I'm going to buy the folder. I just started selling clothing on Poshmark. I've been reselling 10 years but with the clothing I need help with tips. Thanks again.
"Can you let us see the item longer so we can see what the background looks like in the picture." You know you can stop the video right? Then you can look at it as long as you want. Even better, go to his eBay store.
Just watched your video and I had a question about when you actually go to listing it. Do you fill in every single item specific (recommended and not recommended) could you do a quick tutorial on that. Thank you.
I have a problem. I take photos of clothes for marketplace...without fail any time I try and take a photo of a blue clothing piece the color is way off. It only happens with blue clothing. I have tried with different cell phones and get the same result. Currently I'm using a pixel phone. Any one have any ideas how to get more accurate color results from the start with blue items? I'd rather not try and color correct after. I understand it will never be 100% accurate but blue clothes are always nowhere near what they should be. I have tried every setting on the phones.
The struggle is real with blue and black clothes. Recently just found that turning off one of my lights helped a lot. I don't have room to put the umbrellas on my lights so they're bare, not helping either. lol
So I know the trend is to use a ruler to show the measurements in the pictures but I noticed it wastes a lot of time for little to no benefit. While I'm listing it's a lot faster to take the measurements while sitting at my desk. Just something to think about
I would suggest buying and selling used shoes to start, and once you have 500 or so pairs of shoes, then incorporate shirts. Shirts tend to sell slower than shoes, so I wouldn’t recommend starting with them.
I bag clothes in gallon-size bagel bags from Walmart. Currently $3.64 for a hundred, so about half the price of zip-locks. Search for "Great Value Twist Tie Storage Bags, Gallon." I use them to cover books and magazines as well. Close with eBay tape, which doesn't stick to the plastic. Alternatively, use painter's tape.
