If Your Thrift Stores Suck Try Sourcing These To Resell 

I love seeing you sell beauty products. Like Tech says, "I don't have to know how to say it, I just have to know how to sell it" 👏

Lisa Loeb? Pronounced Lobe. I feel so old now. She's kind of iconic for genxers.

Thank you for all of your videos. I'm 55yrs old & with some health problems & just now in my life finding it very hard to do the 9 to 5 blue collar job. I'm needing to find a way to make this Ebay thing work for me. If I could make $3000 a month I could still be able to pay my bills. So I'm watching & learning from your videos & wanted to say thank you! Steve

So cool to see your business grow from 5-10 sales a day into a full on warehouse/ employee worthy business! Right now I’m in my garage but make about 4K extra income a month on eBay! Sell through rate on my 90 day total is 300%!

Cool! Sold the exact same Sony Blu Ray player last week. Bought for $25, sold for $120. I've been having good luck with vintage hi-fi stereo separates. They bring in healthy profits.

It's crazy that Helldivers 2 is already marked down to $5 at Walmart, I'm not surprised those went, probably still cheaper than a lot of retail for $25.

I am helping a family clean out a family member’s house, and about 90% of my small eBay store listings in past 3 months is from that house for free. I take it instead of them driving to a donation place. I did a lot of HBA from couponing during COVID but lots of common items that sold back then now sit for too long and potentially expire. I also get a lot of free stuff and lots of bubble wrap from my town’s dump/recycling center. There is a take-it-or-leave-it shed and found lots of good blenders and coffee makers there. You taught to part it out if doesn’t work.

Can keep cogs at $1 in your example. Then write off the 8-12 items you can’t sell at 100% loss. “Keep” them in inventory as they did also cost you $1 - eventually write them off - Reduce your taxable income which I’m sure you are doing somehow. I know what you’re saying though in terms of thinking it costs you $1 where in reality it doesn’t but in business accounting as you know there are many ways to declare everything

So one thing I’ve tried and actually had some success in as an experiment was what I would call market manipulation in one product. A friend of mine and I bought every available stock of a lower valued Pokémon card and watched the market value of that card triple in value. And then trickled them back into the market for a profit on each card.

I typically source 50% garage sales, 15% thift stores, 15% retail arbitrage 20% online arbitrage. Wanting to do bulk buys, wholesale lots, pallets.

70% on ebay, 25% thrift 5% yard sale

You got that TikTok vibe on this thumbnail brother. The old bait’n switch- “wait, is Jride going negative?! Wait…nope”

Started using deal solider just a few days ago and I’ve already managed to score a couple hundred extra dollars in profit. Thanks for the tip.

Nice comps on that blue ray. I Have like 6600 items to currently list (10-20 a day) so yea sourcing is on the back burner. But still sourcing and picking up those 40+% NET profit items. Here are my summer/winter percentages Summer 90% In person Estate auctions 6% Goodwill Bins 2% Garage Sale 2% Thrift stores Winter 90% Bins 8% Facebook Marketplace 2% Thrift stores

I just sold and shipped out my first pair of shoes thank you Jesus and Burlington this is too much fun

We source mostly from auction lots, mixed estate and overstock items, so we frequently buy a flat of items, some of which sell, and some of which must be trashed/donated. From my perspective, I want to add a different opinion about counting your cost of goods. Instead of not counting the ones that don't sell, how I would enter that purchase into my records would be at the $1 per item cost of goods (the 40 for $40), but if 12 don't sell, they are marked as a loss and -$12 would be counted. You still make the same at the end of the day from the ones that do sell, but you also have a count of what your "loss" is, which is of course a *WRITE OFF* which is very nice to have a count of at the end of the year when taxes roll around 😁 If corporations write off the goods that come in damaged and its an expected cost of business, we should do the same!

I source most of my goods from storage lockers... which are their own beast and I sell via an even split of eBay, FB Marketplace and having my own yard sales. My local thrift store is super inconsistent unfortunately on having quality product to flip but I still go 2-3 times a week since it's right next to my post office.

Im super interested in getting into buying and reselling lots on ebay. I watched your video on how to do it but i think it would be helpful to see you more in-action online hunting for lots to buy!

I just started a little bit after I saw your deal soldier video I think I've been focusing too much on retail arbitrage. I feel I need to start hitting some thrift stores thing is I don't know what I'm doing and I don't know what to buy

I do most of my sourcing from Facebook marketplace, besides stuff from our house. Our business is doing really well so we are trying to ramp up some sourcing. Tried Retail arbitrage for the first time from your recommendation and did well on 2 lipsticks. Unfortunately not many thrifts in my area (and the one closest to me is terrible) so trying to figure out sourcing elsewhere.

Love your channel. Question for you. Where did you get your shelving? I've been looking and can't find any with good reviews. Thanks!!

Love your info. Really very helpful. Would love to know how you ship your glasses?....seems like they would need a particular box to keep them safe in transit.

I source probably 70% from Goodwill, 20% Burlington, 5% garage sales, and 5% free stuff from family members that comes to be in trash bags and I wish it was more. 😅 5,000 is huge!! But if anyone can do it, I'm sure you can!

Pretty smart buys, lots of these things you sold I have passed on, so now I know where I was wrong. On a another subject, what your thoughts on liability insurance? Great video.

How are you shipping glasses?

I would like to know more about sourcing lots on ebay to sell on ebay

9 seconds is crazy, whatup Jake

I'm really serious about doing this I want to get really good at it I spent about $1,000 in the last 3 weeks and made about 200 back so far. Mostly all deal soldier arbitrage like Walmart HomeGoods TJ Maxx

Hey Jride, love your content! Question: how do you avoid vero claims, even illegitimate "counterfeit" claims on genuine items, when you are sourcing? I recently got a "counterfeit" claim on a genuine dog brush from Furminator and it seems these can happen for any reason, since my item is not even counterfeit.

I would love to see how you ship a golf club or baseball bat.

LOBE...Lise LOBE Loeb "STAY!"

Hi. Question when you say frames only is that what you say in description of the listing, and send out the glasses with the lenses still in the glasses? Thanks.

Did you find out about the $5 PS5 game from the Deal Soldier app? Thanks 😊

Do you test all the electronics?

Hey jake. My question is where do i add my cost of an item for tax purposes

What's the best way to get started with bulk buying? I'm still stuck buying a few items at a time from Facebook, Craigslist, and Thrifts.

Hi - do you ever have an issue shipping items in an envelope with stamp? I have always been concerned about not having a tracking number.

GOODWILL IS A RIPOFF!

Hell drivers 🤣

What's a tax certificate?

👍
