One tip I left out of the video is to use Google Lens to help identify items that you don't recognize. It's amazing how accurate it is! Do you have any other tips for identifying hard-to-identify inventory? Let me know below!

@ernestvalenzuela3561 6 месяцев назад

Google lens has been a game changer for me .

@teh_longinator 6 месяцев назад

I've recently discovered google lens and can't believe I never thought to use it earlier. So many items I never would have know what they were just appearing on my screen by taking a picture!

@onlyluvisreal6691 6 месяцев назад

It's definitely helpful as a seller but I hate when people say they looked it up and it's worth $$$$😅😅😅

In a land loaded with goofball reseller RU-vidrs heavy on corny schtick, obnoxious videos, and downright phony picking trips, here's a serious guy with nothing but useful information, presented in a pragmatic, straightforward manner. Thank you.

God lead me into starting a junk removal company. Through it I have a large warehouse with items I eBay everyday. Just a thought for people. May God prosper your businesses.

I treat it like a treasure hunt and game. My boyfriend and I have friendly competition for the most profitable finds. Currently scaling up my reselling. You are an incredibly valuable resource!

@bergbryce 6 месяцев назад

Just wanted to say that I watched just a couple of your videos and applied some of what you've said. Primarily focusing on listing more items and listing faster, and my sales are way up. Not sure if it's a q4 correlation but focusing on volume rather than long-winded descriptions that no one will read has really helped. Thanks.

@justinresells 6 месяцев назад

Thank you for sharing. That's awesome to hear.

@lauriedurrett9591 Месяц назад

@@justinresells I love the fact that you don't feel it's in-partitive to give a long description, I've always thought that was a waste of time, especially when you can tell whats wrong with anything in the condition. I've always used the AI tool but now I just put in my own description that I use every time, Thanks. Oh, I also started to do the 2% promote....started last night and sold a high price item this morning...coincidence? Thanks!

@user-fp2tg6md3y 6 месяцев назад

Even if we’re pretty sure of the value because we sold it in the past, it still doesn’t hurt to look it up again because markets can change. Thanks for the video!

@GeneralFrankenberry 6 месяцев назад

Nice information. Could you do another video where you walk us through your approach upon entering a Thrift Store? What do you look for first? What categories garner most attention from you? How long do you typically shop during a single trip? Maybe even record while you're there? It would provide a nice guide for us that are clueless where to start when we enter a store. Thanks!

@justinresells 6 месяцев назад

Sure, I'll consider it! Thanks. Also I just spent like 20 seconds trying to get the hair off of my monitor that ended up being your profile picture.

@GeneralFrankenberry 6 месяцев назад

@justinresells haha sorry. As a fellow St.Louisian, I appreciate your hustle. I usually go to the 370 bins with moderate success in electronics, but I need to broaden my knowledge into other categories. Look forward to more stellar content from you.

@justinresells 6 месяцев назад

hey neighbor! i go to the 370 bins occasionally as well. a little more chill than the ones by ikea

Thank you for sharing the mindset perspective of abundance. I will definitely implement this more when sourcing

@kellystephenson8073 6 месяцев назад

I’ve been at this about a year now. Everything you explained is what I know now but wish I had known then. 🙂 What I have to add- I get a feeling that I just don’t want to buy something, even if logically it seems like a good idea. I have found I need to listen to that feeling- when I ignore it, something is wrong with the item or it’s no longer selling for some random reason. On the flip side, when I get this pleasant tingle of excitement, there’s something good there and I don’t second guess it anymore. So along with the logic of determining sell- thru rate is the art of trusting the gut or the tingle or yourself. 😉

@Seasidesalesfl123 6 месяцев назад

Agree sometimes have to trust your instincts but exercise caution. Sometimes our gut may just be hungry!!! 😂

@pishposhreselling 6 месяцев назад

Well explained!

@Frugalfitvegan 6 месяцев назад

A struggle I have run into at Goodwill stores in my area is I cannot access the internet while in the store. I try in several spots throughout the store without luck. I’ve started taking pictures of items and researching them later, but it’s inefficient. I haven’t had this issue at the GW bins, just the stores.

@carries4668 3 месяца назад

I’ve been having that trouble!

@MrsBuddevil Месяц назад

I do this too, but rarely find anything through my taken photos that's worth making a trip back to town for.

@pishposhreselling 6 месяцев назад

I sell a lot of vintage and OOAK so I do have to modify the process a bit and rely more on my gut or General comps. But for modern clothing for sure STR of exact items is the way to go!

@ryankennedy6778 6 месяцев назад

All really good tips. One of my favorite elements of reselling is learning. And things like google lens and knowing how to use eBay has made it much more approachable to start sourcing items outside of my comfort zone. I started with video games as that is what I knew best but now sell in other categories way more than video games and love it!

@Seasidesalesfl123 6 месяцев назад

Another excellent video. One of my favorite RU-vidr! Always look forward to a new video. I use my phone to search eBay and use Google lens. Takes more time but learning all the time. Still have plenty of “bad” buys but keep my costs low so don’t get hurt to bad on my missteps.

@hdbinnc8583 6 месяцев назад

Thank you! Great information.

@do-it-yourself-skills 6 месяцев назад

Great advice as always! I'm learning by listing stuff I have around the house. (There's a LOT!) For pricing ideas, sometimes I look at Amazon or Etsy, and there is a website I go to for prices for books - both new and used. Been experimenting with calculated shipping vs free shipping, and sales are good either way. Just ordered a ton of free Priority boxes in different sizes from USPS to beat the holiday rush.

@user-zw9ri2sg7i 2 месяца назад

AMAZING INFO THANK YOU !!

@warrenvanbuskirk1337 6 месяцев назад

I like to shop with an open mind, I limit my self to things that I can sell at least three × what I paid for it. So if it is 2 dollars it has to sell on average around six bucks. Most times, it is 4× what I paid to just give a cushion for best offer. I like to think eBay takes 20% then I use a buy it now add rate of 2%. This usually keeps me in the green.

@justinresells 6 месяцев назад

those are pretty good rules. thank you for sharing!

@truepreloved 5 месяцев назад

I have only been reselling properly for about 3 months and was not good at finding stuff to sell I went for stuff I liked but not necessary what others did so has been sat in my ebay store. Your channel popped up on here and I have watched a few videos and would like to say thank you for your tutorials things are beginning to make sense now and I am loving google lens. look forward to watching some more.

@margiebell6825 6 месяцев назад

I always learn something new with your videos! Thank you! I totally agreed with your presentation today. But here’s my dilemma… I di go out and look for stock. But at the same time, I have so much of my own things collected over the years. And many are not fast sellers. For instance, I have an over abundance of vintage jewelry, which is not a fast seller,also old linens, which also are not big sellers right now. And the list goes on! Any suggestions. I’ve owned Brick and Mortar stores in the past, but net to selling online! Thanks ahead for any input you can share! 😊

@andyndanaemcburney122 19 дней назад

Have you tried listing the linens and jewelry on Etsy? The audience there might be more interested.

@TheNinjaPicker 6 месяцев назад

If I invite a reseller into my home. Take the time out of my day to bulk sell you items and you pull out your phone and look up every item you will never be invited back. Yard sale fine but not when someone takes the time to invite you over

@justinresells 6 месяцев назад

yeah that would be weird

@wwz1011 3 месяца назад

All good suggestions. I add packing difficulty to my decision process. If it is going to be harder to ship, it has to have higher margin and sell through rates. And some items I will not ship. So unless it's a give away price and I feel I can resell locally, I pass. Also I pass on items that are very expensive, even if they sell for a lot. I don't want to have $2000 items, where one problem customer can result in a big loss (or one overlooked flaw). I also avoid VERO items and stuff that has a high likelihood of fakes. Forget your own personal taste and focus on what people will buy. Thats where the phone is a big help.

@teh_longinator 6 месяцев назад

My eBay search results almost exclusively show US sellers. As a Canadian, this is rough to gauge item price, since US shipping costs are usually much lower, or free.

@ohno1017 5 месяцев назад

Been reselling for 3 years now and in just the last 3 years I've seen reselling explode

@midgardian2216 2 месяца назад

I have to work on my attitude, as I find myself feeling more aggressive than normal toward others when I'm sourcing. There is always more than enough, and I never walk away without having learned something when thrifting. ;)

@rhondareid7540 6 дней назад

Do you only sell items that have a history of sales on Ebay, or sometimes buy items that you don't find in the (Ebay) comps? Is there a way to research sales history on any other platforms?
