Great video! I have done this, as well. It’s really good when you find the higher end name brands, too. I think it’s a great way to make a little extra, and I sell kids clothes, shoes, and toys, so I usually buy things to sell, too. I used to work at a OUAC. All of the stores are independent, but it is a franchise, so they have the same basic policies. Just a few tips- The store I worked at preferred all the clothes be in totes lying flat. We could look through it more quickly than unfolding each piece. We were also much more selective on infant sizes- especially separate pieces. If they were basic pieces, we would take them if they were in great shape. (Mainly solid colored pants, jeans, etc.) Cathy, you are correct. It all depends on who goes through your stuff. Definitely take things back again later, because they will likely take it. As far as inventory, our manager would tell us pretty much daily which sizes we needed, and which ones to be super selective on. When we were entering a buy, we basically put in the item category, name brand, and it would give us the choice between two or three prices, then we decided the price based on condition and demand. The computer generates the amount the customer is paid for the item automatically, and it’s a percentage of what the store priced the item for. Thanks for taking the time to do this video. I enjoyed it!

Tfs this! Knowing that the parameters can change from one visit to the next adds to what Cathy mentioned re trying items more than once. Thx again!! 🤩🙌

@theresavankleeck3201 3 месяца назад

Great video. I do think it is worth it for you to bring your tote there. You are getting the items so cheap at the bins it is just another way for you to flip for profit! Learn so much from you! Thank you!

Actually third time may be the charm. Its happened to me several times at Once Upon A Child.

@retrobydestiny1030 4 месяца назад

I tried a bin at Plato’s today. Which usually is ok for me but the girl was very snotty and as soon as I walked out texted me that they couldn’t take anything 🙃😂 gotta love it! Thanks for the tips!

@GingerMarvin 4 месяца назад

Aww I’m sorry friend! It sucks when they are rude 😢

@jenaton5767 4 месяца назад

Our Once Upon a Child is exactly the same there is only one location for all of Northeastern Wisconsin….manager is a snot…I think she bases her buys on your vehicle. Not driving a Range Rover…go away. She can be super selective they have a monopoly in our area. I envy this area and Minnesota for the number of Buy Sell Trade stores

@retrobydestiny1030 4 месяца назад

@@jenaton5767 I understand!! This is the only Plato’s we have so I guess I’ll have to find somewhere else or try a different method!! Thankfully I don’t rely on this business model or I’d be in trouble😂

@MaryM-cb8xt 4 месяца назад

@@retrobydestiny1030 This has happened to me before too, and I finally figured out the rude girl doesn't work on Sundays. I think she was rude because I'm in my forties and clearly not cool enough to be there. The Sunday crew is lovely though and buys many of the items the cool girl passed on :)

@kathrynconard2905 4 месяца назад

@@retrobydestiny1030 my Plato’s looks at tag dates so if an item has a manufacturer date on it just cut that small tag out. It’s very helpful especially with Nike

@Robert74450 4 месяца назад

I tried two bins last year at Plato they told me all items were old and outdated I am in my sixties I gave them to My teen age grand daughter and they gave her fifty and eighty😮 I think they meant I was old and outdated because it was the exact same stuff

@GingerMarvin 4 месяца назад

Boo! I do think they are pretty judgey about the person bringing stuff in which is terrible.

@staceybarnett2385 4 месяца назад

Platos is the worst where I live in N.C. I don't waste my time.

Enlightening experiment… 😮 but, WOW! That’s awful - ageism at its finest. Sorry that happened to you.

Love this type of video, I continue to learn so much from you two ❤

@aramos1421 4 месяца назад

I love that your once upon a child explains why they didn’t take items. Mine doesn’t. They’re just like we took these things and here’s how much we’re gonna give you. Yes or no? 🤣

@sarahkoltz8017 3 месяца назад

It totally varies by worker for me. But I did learn that they don't take white for smaller kids. Even if it's new/like new.

@sarahkoltz8017 3 месяца назад

My tip for little dresses without the diaper cover: I've had success with including a same/ similar sized one that matches. I'll cut that tag out if needed. :)

@maggiecousineau1877 4 месяца назад

Great enjoyable video. Wish we had a Goodwill bins near me, i would just shop for children's clothes.

@amykaedesigns Месяц назад

Great video Cathy, loved it! Do you happen to know if they tend to take larger sizes kids items, like 12/14/16? I may try taking my youngest sons. For some reason I assumed they only want little sizes. Thank you for sharing! ❤❤❤

@karencurry6777 4 месяца назад

Just started doing this. Glad to know all your tips

@juliewilliams4475 4 месяца назад

@kathrynconard2905 4 месяца назад

Your Once Upon A Child pays a lot better than mine. I still take items because I really like the fast flip with cash in hand but I usually only about 1.5-2x my investment instead of the 3x you are getting. If I had taken that box to my location I probably would’ve been offered around $50-65 max

@GingerMarvin 4 месяца назад

I think the shoes and snow gear are what really drives up the buy price when it go in! Our store also prices things kinda high which I guess works out in my favor!

@staceybarnett2385 4 месяца назад

92.00 looks about right with my experience

@bxbeautynyc 4 месяца назад

Thanks for sharing. Inspiring. Just wondering if you would package all three baby shoes on eBay for about 5 or 10 bucks instead of giving it away. Or possibly as a free gift for a bundle?

@GingerMarvin 4 месяца назад

I would if they had a size. Without a size it would just take to much time (extra measurements and explanation) for me to list for that price unfortunately 😔

@pamelajanak3749 4 месяца назад

How do you document this for your inventory? I have a tote ready to go of kids stuff, some personal items and others I've picked up from the bins. If I do this again, I'm wondering the most efficient way to document the inventory. I can't imagine writing every piece down that you pick up at the bins and then bring to UOAC is the most efficient? Doesn't feel that way! I'm sure I'm overthinking it.

@GingerMarvin 4 месяца назад

We have a bookkeeper now & I believe we just do the cash method so we don’t document each & every item I just deposit the cash and they count it as a they would items sold on the platforms.

@Teachbakeflip 4 месяца назад

Cathy, have you ever tried to take in a single piece of Hanna Andersson PJs (like you might have the top but not the bottom) to OUAC? If so, did they accept it?

@GingerMarvin 4 месяца назад

I have not tried this cause I’m like 99% sure they won’t and I really aim to get them to take all of my stuff 😂

@hausofdezi 4 месяца назад

I’ve done this before with NWT Hanna Andersson PJ tops and they always pass on it. They’ll tell me at the end some of the items were rejected because the set wasn’t complete.

@heluvsmenu 4 месяца назад

Do they accept all seasons or just the current one?

@GingerMarvin 3 месяца назад

Ours accepts all but I’m sure they are all different!

@whatughbeast495 4 месяца назад

Hi sorry off topic but how are you able store your inventory in a storage unit? I would only spend an hour a day at most to grab items for shipping but the facility considered it loitering so I had to get my stuff out. Any tips appreciated

@alexiseshenour5367 3 месяца назад

She doesn’t use a storage unit anymore

@quiltedbrownie 3 месяца назад

So sorry that happened to you! 😮What city was your unit in? That seems odd bc there are tons of us that use a storage unit without an issue (on YT, Josh Graff is an example - he has TWO units in the same facility). That one you were in was a “busy body”, controlling storage facility IMO. Might want to try a diff one if there’s more in your area. Wishing you all the success in your selling business 🤩🙌
