Was just about to say so... no worries still good to watch PS. Let me know when you guys are keen to come thrift in South Africa, Ill show you the routes.. better and closer than the Aussies
One of my best deals ever best scores ever was buying a whole garage full of many tools equipment power tools etc for just $500. My mother in laws coworker was getting divorced and sold me everything for so cheap. I had to rent bring a uhaul truck for this deal and get a storage unit for just to store these items. She knew it was a steal for just $500. She was just getting revenge on her cheating husband. In the first 2 sales i got my money back. It took about a year to sell everything. I sold many items on ebay, fb market place, fleamarket, craigslist etc. After all fees shipping cost of goods truck rental and storage unit fees I made about approximately $3500 - 4000. Garage had cement mixer, so many power and compressed air tools, pallet jack so many sets of wrenches etc. From brands like dewalt, snap on, Milwaukee, etc. some tools that were worth $500 just by themselves that paid for everything. I was in the profit the first day in just 2 facebook sales. I even wholesaled some items to other flea-market resellers. It was a dream having so much inventory for so cheap I miss it. But ive also had many other good scores buying at the goodwill bins. Or just at some random arc thrift store here in Denver where I bought a new in the box old stock large epson printer for $40 and selling it within 15 min after listing it on ebay for $700.00. Which later found out I underpriced it. But i still got so much profit I was happy with.
Thanks for the encouragement guys! I really needed it today. Most of what I sell is smaller items, but you're right... they do add up! It would be nice to find a few big money makers though, lol 😆 I appreciate all your content! MERRY CHRISTMAS to you, your family and Mose of course 😊 ❤️
Forever jealous that you guys have the goodwill bins. I would spend so much time at them if we had them in Aus. That harley Davidson hat, wow. Amazing flip!
I’ve been doing eBay for about 6 years. My best profit amount was some telephone conference equipment. Paid 175 for 23 items, sold 19 of them for 1700 within 6 days. Best % was a my little pony dvd, paid 0.10, sold for 40 on best offer or a Ralph Lauren coat a charity shop chucked out for free because of a stain, I fixed it and sold it for 90. A fellow thrifter found a Victorian gold ring at a boot sale for 7, had it valued at around 5000.
My top sale of all time was a manga I found at a thrift store for $3, just so happened it was very rare and sought after. It was One Piece Vol 1 Limited Gold edition, one of only 5000 copies, and despite being not in the best condition it sold for $2000 over on eBay. Other great pickups was a complete with box original Macintosh for $10, sold in non-working condition for $500. A set of 21 Yu-Gi-Oh! glow in the dark Japanese curry stickers, sold for $800. A vintage US Navy Ship Chronometer helm pocket watch, sold in non-working condition for $700. Etc etc. I and most all full-time resellers will agree with Josh that success in reselling comes from consistent inventory, smalls that you make good little chunks of profit on, NOT those once-in-a-lifetime scores. It takes a lot of time, luck, and knowledge to find those lucky items so you simply can't rely on scores like that to stay afloat.
So enlightening to see some of your top sales were "only" in the $2-$300 range. A lot of ppl post $1000 sales and grails and make it sound like that's what they do all day long. My top sale was a $600 nativity set I just sold and below that my top sales come in around that $200-300 range. Thanks for sharing all you do.
Thanks Josh, would you be open to doing a tour of your new picture and packing station. Show us how the lighting and setup is now that you've moved. Thanks!
while i could not confirm it was exactly the same lid style, i recognized the logo on the bottom: that old style starbucks tumbler is desirable (to me) because of the lid configuration is the old true no spill lid with the gasket. you can take the lid apart and clean it (which I guess people don't like to do and that may be why that lid design was discontinued.) Those lids require cleaning if you use dairy in the coffee. So if it smells, take it apart and clean it. Make sure to take good pictures of the bottom and the lid to highlight that feature in the listing.
You guys are so awesome at what you do and seem to be such good people. I wish you all the best and all the success in the future! Happy holidays! And kisses to Moe's :-)
I am going to do this in the new year. Have my hard to save $ .It was hard with heating costs,taxes,Christmas. But I did it. I just tried to set $ back everytime I found something I wanted while getting my Shopping done. But we have a local overstock pallet bins store. And I have purchased really nice gifts for a fraction. I just want to try it and see where it goes. I was a caregiver in my home for my Sweet Momma and Sissy. Momma was here almost 6yrs. I closed 3 flea market booths to care for them. They both passed 2wks apart last August. I am trying to figure out something to do moving forward that brings me joy. While making some extra $. Good Luck to you🌹
Thank you so much for this great video👍❣ I don't sell and I have what I need but, I love it when both of you are working together🤗 I really need/want a woman's point of view also. 👏
Josh and Hayley!!! Thanks for taking us along and sharing what was found! I really enjoy when you two take us to the bins!!! A moment of Mose and his pineapple! He is such a good pup! Stay safe stay great! Keep up the good work!
Hello on my hubbys account - been subbed for awhile. You guys got me sourcing this year to start reselling again, stopped selling when my oldest was little(shes27now) anyways just wanted to mention when you went to pay not sure if that was a credit card or what but you can make out the info (I wasn’t zoomed in ) so hopefully nothing that someone can use to scam you Have a wonderful Christmas
I knew that big golf club haul was gonna be your number 1, I thought you got a Scotty or 2 out that deal. Nice find on the SM5 Wedge wish I could get 50 for mine I have 4 or 5 that I cant sell.
Benging your videos this morning b4 work😊. I wanted to share a recent find that blew my mind...a 1960's, men's,Omega, Seamaster watch from Habitat in Camden, SC. Paid $5. My husband checked out the authenticity and we saw comparable watches online for over $1000! He used to complain about my thrifting hobby...not so much anymore!😂 I really enjoy your channel, thanks for sharing all your info!
My personal best to date, was an OEM jeep soft top with window guards, NIB. It was 1/2 price day at Goodwill, so I got it for 7.50, sold for 700.00 + shipping and it shipped from Ohio to Washington state. I have had some other great sales over the years, but on a single item, that was my best.
Hello I'm a duck hunter, decoy collector and reseller and I'm looking at that decoy and thinking it is not big money. I guess the big question with collectable decoys is the material and who made it. From the video yours looks to be plastic which means is it not very old. And with the weathers on that female mallard you are not looking at a huge score.
I liked the mix-and-match approach on this video. Besides cost of goods and the net income you get, I think you need to figure in a set charge for promotion time (photography and listing time) and a warehousing cost (space x time). What-not auctions would then increase in value due to reductions in these costs.
I'm glad she left her government job which places her in a much more positive position , it takes a lot of guts to do that and guts is what's needed in self business . Good luck !
I know this has nothing to do with the pallets, but I was wondering if you got them at the outlet or regular side. Thought I'd have a better chance at a reply if I commented on your last video.
Those are definitely great flips. Our best flips yet are a Sterling silverware set that we spent $4 on at an estate sale and sold on eBay auction for $446. We also buy storage units and the second storage unit we ever bought we got for just under $200 and have made over $8,000 on it and we still have a few items we haven’t sold. Thank you for sharing
Always great to to watch the two of in “the hunt”, even crazier on half price day!!🤪 I remember that huge club buy and few of the others too👏👏 Hello Hayley and Mose👋👋❤️❤️❤️
Awesome vid! I just started selling on eBay and am having difficulty making a sale and getting views. I had gotten some offers but they were scammers unfortunately. Do you know what I can do to make my first sale?
Great video guys, loved hearing about your best profits. Whilst I know it’s great to make those profits, I also know there is a lot of hard work goes into it too. You work hard and you deserve your profits. Good luck with those great finds in 2023. I hope you go on succeeding in your chosen work xxxx
kind of surprised your top flips aren't higher honestly, not that they aren't great sales and I know most profits come from smaller items, but was expecting a bit higher
