Full Time eBay Reseller Sources Thrift Stores 

She definitely caught me off guard, it was wild! I chose not to unleash anger because it was early in the day but I’ll ready next time I encounter her haha

I appreciate it.

Thanks

Sure thing 👍

Thanks 👍

Thank you, I'll make sure to tell him!

😂 I need to thank that Buc-ee’s and their roof logo.

Nice, ya never been in there.

😮Do your job ? What. People people people… 😂

@@AuntGrace ?? The ‘court’ was open? He “refereed’ games. There were no game at the time

Exact words were… “YOU DO YOUR JOB, AND I’LL DO MINE” ☝️

Haha nice, and thanks.

Haha thanks 👍

Thanks for watching. Ya her comment was wild and unnecessary. She is definitely having some issues going on outside of work.

The speed of some or lack with of these cashiers is not talked about enough. It can make a big difference if they are slow at every store.

No I usually skip the short section, a lot of competition there and the sections are really long. I usually spend too long and don’t find much in that section.

Thanks for the heads up.

Exactly right 👍

That being said, my #1 category by far continues to be button down shirts no matter the season. I can't escape it. Haha.

@@TaylorExchange Last message so I don't take up more time. You mentioned you would be sourcing in Michigan when going to the draft. How did that go? I'm curious because I live in Florida, but I'm moving back to Michigan this summer.

No telling 🤦‍♂️

My local spots used to be like that. Enjoy it and grow your business while you still can!

Raleigh NC?

@@Brad-wc2xu yes. Lucky.

Omw from Greensboro! The Goodwill's here are eBay scanning

That’s a great point. I also think people are less kind to each other nowadays.

Thanks 👍

Best to ask a CPA how all that works. I pay $12k throughout the year in estimated taxes.

Thanks for the heads up!

This one is a bit cheaper but usually don’t find much out of here anymore. Plus any shirt 2XL or bigger they make $7.49 🤦‍♂️

@@TaylorExchange shirts are like $8.99 base price at goodwills here bro. Sometimes you catch em slipping but that's normal. Jeans cheapest price is $8.99 but most are $10.99 and a couple goodwill price all Levis at $14.99. T-shirts are almost always $4.99. I gotta hit Savers sales, Salvation Army 50% off days, St Vincent 50% off days, and the bins, just to bring my cost of goods down to $7 average - but on the plus side, i've never seen a city/area with as much under the radar high quality and profitable bolos as ATX. you should come down here and check it out for a weekend some time

Hanger etiquette 😂 🤦‍♂️ If my employee spoke that way to a customer trying to help and spending money at the store I’d tell them to chill out.

Thanks. I have similar issues searching comps on that brand. I usually just price them around the $25-$30 dollar mark.

@@TaylorExchange Thanks!

Thanks, just noticed those move faster than the smaller sizes.

@@TaylorExchange Man, i just bought a new pair of Tommy Hill jeans, they look brand new for 14$ took em home and they are hemmed lol,

It’s a tough trade off filming these. It’s very time consuming.

Thanks 👍

Haha right

I think they are sold at Kohls

I think Ralph Lauren and Nike have bigger fish to fry 😂 Honestly I have not read the laws on it 🤷‍♂️

I usually go once a week and another day in my town. But ya how much inventory on hand determines how much I should source.

@@TaylorExchange do you ever get anxiety that when you’re not sourcing you’re missing out on big ticket items?

Not so much anxiety, but last week and this week I’ve had to stay home with my son who is sick. So I am pretty much out of items and had to pay Randi even though she doesn’t have much to do. Little stress but I have become a little more resilient since I have some other streams of income. But no I don’t worry about missing out on items.

I have some content in this topic. I resold part time from Sept 2019-June 2021. I had been making about 30k a year before quitting my full time job. I understand my household budget and what was needed from the business to make sure I had enough money.

@@TaylorExchange awesome. I’ll check them out and I appreciate the fast response. I have a part time job just working on the weekends (it’s not a bad job), but I’m wanting to quit because of how far the drive is for me from my house. I do better waiting for new racks at the Goodwill I always visit rather than going through the old inventory, because I know people have already went through it and I feel like it’s a waste of time. There are a bunch of resellers in my area, so competition is crazy. But there are a lot of items people look past, because most of them are looking for the generic items to resell.

It’s a reseller permit or resale certificate I believe and I think they vary by state.

Dang, ya maybe I'll develop a buy sell trade route.

The price has for sure.

Ya this lady threw me for a loop with her comments 😂

get those hangers off before you get to the register, that's the only pro move

@@dustyoldhat I leave the hangers on the clothes rack. I feel like the cashier was upset about other things.

I’ve never had an issue. Per eBay terms of service all items must be washed.

​@@TaylorExchangeno, clean not washed.

I was running them on Sunday afternoon but I’ve not been consistent since I moved to the new office. I also don’t like the light situation for the live from the shipping station so I need to work on that as well.

If it doesn’t come out in the wash I’m just making a note of it in the condition description.

Usually once a week. I do like the ATX area, but if I’m taking a trip with the family I’m going to be with the family. Thrifting is my least favorite activity in my life currently.

@@TaylorExchange aw man sorry to hear it. I get it though. I had to leave a thrift the other day because people were acting crazy and there were kids screaming and dogs fighting literally in the thrift (idk why they let dogs in there) It was chaos

@@dustyoldhat It’s all good, thrifting for me is boring after about 2 stores

​@TaylorExchange that's crazy thrifting is my favorite part and I drag my 6 kids with me

@@Amandahugginkizz I think I’ve just done it for too long in a systematic way that I have a hard time just relaxing when I’m in them.

It’s a resale permit. You have to find out through your security of states office how they work for your particular state.

You’ll have to look up what your state requirements are.

👍

We had a reseller at my local spot get banned for doing that. Tbh he also shoulder checked an old lady to the ground but ya it’s getting a little chippy out there.

@@TaylorExchange I'm laughing so hard about checking little lady that my side hurts. 🤣🤣🤣

@@FaithPagsisihan 😂 I wasn’t there that day but I heard it was pretty wild. Texas Goodwills man…

Is that right? Never heard of it other than that model for the shirt.

@@TaylorExchange you have to get this special haircut to live there

@@dustyoldhat Sounds horrible ☝️

I agree.

Technsports and Daily Refinements teaching thousands of people how to sell clothes at a high level is one factor. Covid increased the amount of people watching RU-vid and having the time to learn the business. Thrift stores selling more online themselves and being smarter with pricing and pulling valuable items before they hit the floor. Just a few off the top of my head.

@@TaylorExchange damn that’s kinda depressing. You think it’s only going to get more difficult?

Things have definitely changed and by all indications, not for the better. It’s become way more frustrating & challenging!! One bright spot is, thank God we have so much untapped/ unlisted, all-sunk-cost inventory to “source” from right here on the premises. I don’t have to buy another thing for a long, long time if I chose to do so. That, and I’ve been developing a good relationship w/ a great part-time reseller buddy. He’s been finding me bolos and solid bread-and-butter while he’s out sourcing for himself. And in exchange I pass along to him hard goods like power washers, weed-wackers, big flat screens, and vacs.. like dysons, kirbys, and sharks that I’ve “curb sourced” right here in my subdivision. Or pay him what he paid for it. I’m constantly amazed.. he has as good an eye & knowledge base as I do. But. He has this.. I swear, a golden glory cloud following him around that hovers over him everywhere he sources. All at the same stores! The stuff he finds - every freaking time, every single day is off the charts. Thankfully he only cherry picks the sports jerseys, leather Harley jackets, Jordan’s & other big $$ ASP footwear (and out-and-out grails), but I get all the rest.

​@AllThymeSports we have it good in america, there are millions of items in every single person's home, yard, garbage, dumpsters, sheds, warehouses. There isn't going to be a shortage of items to flip for a good profit.

@@AllThymeSports Shopping from thrifts stores in the clothing category I think will always be successful but not as successful as years past.

The majority of them are a problem, definitely unstable.

Damn gonna have to Unsubscribe.

@@aminyashed8044 Sure thing 👍

I think your right on that 👍

What not enough patriotism in my voice 😂

@@TaylorExchangeI thought it was from the heart, spontaneous.. not scripted, and on key. Totally apropos. We’re a bit patriotic here in the Republic of Texas! Just don’t get any silly ideas of giving up your day job, Sean.

@@pkzenk2158 Haha appreciate that.

Ya idk what her deal was.

Exactly 👍
