    This sounds horrible but there is actually a market for single shoes. Amputees buy single shoes so they don't have to pay full price. Take the singles and list them with the following example "amputee left/right shoe".... list it half of what you would if you had the pair. Sounds horrible, but actually makes sense.

    I love watching mystery bag/bin/pallet videos! I think you got a good score. Even if you sold the leftovers in a garage sale y
    For $1 an item I'm sure you can squeeze some your money out of that too.

    Hi Ashley. You should consider keeping a bin of damaged clothing that is of a really good quality fabric/material and look to hook up with somebody who's craft is sewing, design and creating/repurposing. You could offload it in bulk on such a person or strike up some kind of deal whereas you provide all the fabric/material.. they then do the work - you then sell on your outlets and then split whatever profits based on whatever deal you make. If you are dealing clothes mainly, it really makes sense if you can find somebody skilled at that. All kinds of customised bags seem to do well.

    Seems like this would be a good inexpensive way for someone getting started in clothing reselling to learn about brands and values. Nice to have time at home to research everything and learn.

    My son just came home from college for a semester to get ready for a church mission so we can do this together. I think he can make more than minimum wage doing this, and I get to spend time with him! This kind of video is a great help as you go through the items of “keep” and “discard” quickly so he can learn which brands to watch for and which to pass over. So I hope you do more! (But what a pain to have to get rid of the discard pile!)

    Consider taking the things you can't sell to a consignment shop. I've been offloading some inventory at a local consignment shop for a while and, even though you don't make much, you can make something from those middle/low end brands.

  • @cottonwoodbazaar941
    @cottonwoodbazaar941 3 года назад +2

    Thanks for sharing and caring! Maybe you could sell the unsellable in lots? I think it would be worth it to try mystery bags again at least one more time to test the consistency of sellable items? Also, it's kind of fun with the whole mystery of it! Also, a great way to find new brands worth picking up when regular thrifting.

    Vintage VS is one of my favorites to sell, too. That top looked like silk. That'll probably flip quickly.

    I am in my 3rd year of selling on ebay and mercari. It seems like you and I have the same experience, we know what sells for US. We have a business plan. If the item does not fit the plan it is "otta here." Leather things do not seem to sell for me. I always pick up silk or cashmere, even no name brands sell.

  • @janinedevilliers510
    @janinedevilliers510 3 года назад +1

    I really enjoyed this video and would like to see more of these. I think you did well. I was trying to think what you can do with the items you don't want for your business. You could put the rest in bags and sell the lot for 30 dollars to get your money back. Perhaps remove anything that's really damaged. Or seperate everything into piles: household items like blankets, etc, and sell those in a lot. Ladies tops. Children's clothes, mens clothes. Sell on FB market place in bundles. There are so many people who are poor and need clothes at a low price or people who sell at flea markets and need stock. Old t-shirts can be cut and the cotton sold in bundles to mechanics who always need a bag of clean rags. I know because my ex husband was a mechanic. You cut off the sleeves and collar so that you just have two big squares of the front and back of a t-shirt. And from a humanitarian point of view, some can be donated to animal shelters and shelters for the homeless that desperately need help. I think it will help grow your channel if people see you buy these mystery bags, and see you seperate everything into categories. Those for your business and what you do with the rest. Thanks for sharing and I hope you do so well with everything. Look forward to more. Love from Germany

    Watching this later, but wondering if you ever have garage sales to clear out duds? Getting a dollar for it is better than nothing. I’ve done that before and made about $49-50 on just the clothes that I was able to turn around and reinvest at the thrift store on better inventory. 😊💕
