Here's a cunning plan -Get some platic boxes, go through the stock 1 by 1, not suitable for ebay put in box, do this with all stock. Put the boxes away somewhere, start listing ebay stock. Day 1 list 30 - upload 20 - 10 in draft bank. Day 2 list 20 - upload 10 - 10 in draft bank etc. When yo have 50/60 in draft bank start on the boxed stuff for vinted, you can sttill upload 10 per day to ebay from drafts. Do that for 2,3 weeks and you will be sorted. just needs discipline and the willingness to stick to it, cheers.
I am sure you are a better Baldrick than me but I tried to have a little, peaceful room away from all the junk. It started quite well and I sat and relaxed there. Then I started feeling guilty telling myself that I couldn't just sit there - I needed to get reselling. I took a few bits into my haven just to examine them well and check them over while I listened to music. Then I started putting them down on a table or the floor. You can guess where that went...
Fingers crossed for your plan and also stay on RUclips as you enjoy it . Life is too short to turn yourself into a listing/posting machine. In the end you can have both the RUclips and a clean/organised and decorated space. This way you will be able to go and relax in this space and not having to run away outside (which usually ends in bringing lots of extra stock). Good luck
i can relate. my house has turned into a hoarder house where im walking on a single path like a goat. im starting to get so tired of seeing everything im ready to start listing every single thing in the house. not only do i have the house loaded with stuff i also have a storage unit i need to sort. my dad died a few years ago and i took all his stuff into storage and havent gone through it yet and the storage price is getting ridiculously high now. this is a good kick in the ass reminder to get going with it.
I’d start by doing a stocktake for all of your listed items, you may find some that are no longer listed or lower value / low interest items that you could bundle, also condensing your boxes / space in the shed. Then sort all of your unlisted items into boxes / bags of different categories and work through them one by one 😌
Ultimately take a break from the bootsales and charity shops for a month, list everything. Then go back to it. I’ve stopped bootsales for a few weeks to prioritise listing. It’s just the smart move, got to put that fomo feeling behind you as fomo in most cases leads to poor decisions. Good luck with listing 👍🏼
That must have been a hard video to make Jon, thanks for being honest about how the stock can take over when you are a reseller. On the lives we all will keep telling you to list 😂
i could not sleep in a room like that you gotta get boxes and store it man its kicking off my anxiety lol so much dust i would deffo look into storing in boxes and keeping more in the shed or dorting it all out & getting rid of anything u know wont sell for ages
My plan hopefully in the foreseeable future is to get busy on a spreadsheet to maybe get 300 drafts ready with titles and prices. This will mostly be books, vhs, video games, maybe records. It is a pretty massive task as will have to complete listings with photos one by one but it is pretty streamlined I think. Also I don't do RUclips but would it be worth you hiring someone to do your editing. Maybe this isn't cost effective but maybe something to think about.
It’s easy for me to say but……try not to stress. I’m having a similar problem where everything is mounting up but I’m enjoying going to car boots and getting the exercise and it’s motivating me to lose a bit of weight. It’s all a game of keeping those scales balanced. One day
Buy it list it same day it’s that simple if you don’t do that it will get out of control and this is what has happened. Dead money not earning anything.
Pay someone to list your the stock you have until you caught up with it and you can concentrate on doing other things, it will effect all of you mentally and physically having it all over the house. If i was living with all the stock around me my stress levels would be through the roof.. once its all been cleared if it were me I'd would buy another big shed if you have room to put all the future stock in there that needs listing..
simply stop buying theres no need if you cannot list what you already have? also if your not spending you will see a massive increase in money available to save and do other stuff with your going to burn yourself out most people only work a five day week your working 24/7 money not everything. Have you also thought about how much of a fire hazard all that stock can be? good luck with mental health reselling can be a lonely place at times
We brought 47 pairs of shoes from a charity shop the other day and they are taking up so much room. They are listed and I am praying for quick sales for the space 😬
Less talk, more action; only solution. Spend your available time on listing and shift the backlog. Use coupons, sales and general reductions to move it on. End of day, profit is profit. Reset your life and remodel your business.
Just rent a small garage or similar and just chuck all the unlisted stock in it The only thing that holding back your business is youtube. You would earn far more money listing your stock. If your relying on youtube money something is wrong
Jon that’s hoarding pal set yourself 10 items a day and do them religiously soon get through it you got some good money laying about buy yourself another shed for the garden to store your stock not rocket science pal
This is a really good point, worth taking on board, Jon You,ll be making exactly the same video as this frequently next year if you don,t change the RUclips side of things!

Yes definitely thank you
Well done for being so honest, the reality of being a reseller
i can relate. my house has turned into a hoarder house where im walking on a single path like a goat. im starting to get so tired of seeing everything im ready to start listing every single thing in the house. not only do i have the house loaded with stuff i also have a storage unit i need to sort. my dad died a few years ago and i took all his stuff into storage and havent gone through it yet and the storage price is getting ridiculously high now. this is a good kick in the ass reminder to get going with it.

I've got my plan
Jon your ability to self reflect is impressive. The bedroom is a top idea. Necessary for rest and relaxation. It's definitely about what you enjoy! 💪
I feel sorry for your mum and son who have to put up with all that hoarding
Get shot of it out of the house,
Ultimately take a break from the bootsales and charity shops for a month, list everything. Then go back to it.
I’ve stopped bootsales for a few weeks to prioritise listing. It’s just the smart move, got to put that fomo feeling behind you as fomo in most cases leads to poor decisions.

My house is the same, stuff everywhere, next year I'm going to buy a big shed.
i could not sleep in a room like that you gotta get boxes and store it man its kicking off my anxiety lol so much dust i would deffo look into storing in boxes and keeping more in the shed or dorting it all out & getting rid of anything u know wont sell for ages
Id say try make a target for listing per day. So say daily target of 15 a day, and try organise into different boxes.

jon dont take this the wrong way mate you can talk the talk but you must walk the walk go for it and good luck👍
Buy it list it same day it’s that simple if you don’t do that it will get out of control and this is what has happened. Dead money not earning anything.
Dont buy anything untill all listed, problem solved
Hello, you can make videos listing your items
Pay someone to list your the stock you have until you caught up with it and you can concentrate on doing other things, it will effect all of you mentally and physically having it all over the house. If i was living with all the stock around me my stress levels would be through the roof.. once its all been cleared if it were me I'd would buy another big shed if you have room to put all the future stock in there that needs listing..
You got to invest in some really useful plastic boxes!
My spare room is full of crap! Double boarded loft that’s full, lean to full
It's one of the worse things about reselling is the stuff everywhere..drives you nuts!
Just love buying. Winter stock
Good video stick all the clothes on vinted for quick sales
simply stop buying theres no need if you cannot list what you already have? also if your not spending you will see a massive increase in money available to save and do other stuff with your going to burn yourself out most people only work a five day week your working 24/7 money not everything.

The only thing that holding back your business is youtube. You would earn far more money listing your stock. If your relying on youtube money something is wrong
Good idea, you need space to get out of the game and be able to chill. Maybe a yoga/zen room?🧘♀️ 😂
Jon that’s hoarding pal set yourself 10 items a day and do them religiously soon get through it you got some good money laying about buy yourself another shed for the garden to store your stock not rocket science pal
Where did you get the photograph light from Jon please
Jon, can you do a video on your photo set up?
My house has always been a hoarder house 😂 stock literally everywhere eBay shed is coming tho 🤞🙏
Jon have you had a sight test lately? You might need glasses.
No but eyes are fine now just to much screen time
With you saying your RUclips money basically pays for your stock, do you think you’d be a profitable reseller if it wasn’t for you’re channel?
This is a really good point, worth taking on board, Jon
You,ll be making exactly the same video as this frequently next year if you don,t change the RUclips side of things!
Stop buying.Focus on listing. Buying is addictive. Don’t have more than 1 week's worth of unlisted stock on hand... There lies the road to misery
But you can’t sell clothes mate 😂😂 ever hear back from dense spence?
get your eyes tested, you may need glasses!
