I appreciate you sponsoring a car. I raced along time. It's hard to stay on the road. Every sponsor helps.
Thank you!! We are glad to- he is a great buddy of ours from high school and it’s always fun watching him race
Other sourcing tips: Look for stuff put out for garbage AFTER an estate sale . Often they will throw out stuff that they would NOT think anyone would buy - like old food products , Storage containers, ephemera, cosmetics, soap sets , giftware, hardware , Linens , etc.
Oh yeah that is a solid tip.. I’ve actually heard that people have done really well with items they get like this!!
I do something similar for garage sales. I’ll save them and drive by an hour or 2 after the garage sale is over for free stuff by the curb. Sold a few things this way.
13,000 views and counting, with 511 likes, great job! Now that you have gone viral, don't change.😃
Trying to!! lol it’s so weird how randomly one video does well… I hope more do lololol
My dad worked for HP for 25+ years. The old HP part is cool.
Oh that’s pretty cool- some of the old HP sells super good! This was just a leftover little part but we have sold a whole bunch of it in the past!
KILLER SHIRT!! 👍👍
Thank man!!
12:09 REALLY IMPORTANT if you can: TAG these with a DATE , not just the word "vintage". People get so SLOPPY with this and it will cost them sales. These are OBVIOUSLY from the mid to late 1960s - and possibly EARLY 1970s. I will approximate - generally - just so that people's EYE will go right to it - IF they DON'T want 1980s stuff (or 1940s stuff) . "Vintage Easter Die-Cut Decorations 1967 - 1971 Era Mixed Lot" . Was there a BRAND name ? Did it say "Hong Kong" or "Taiwan" or "Japan" or "Made in USA" ? It would not hurt - to throw in the word "Hallmark" because that is pretty much the audience for this.
This was my first instruction to the channel. Love it! Keep it up gentleman
That you very much.. appreciate that! I can’t wait until we pass you in subs! Lolol just kidding Good luck with your finds this year!
Good answer on sourcing. I live in Kansas City and there are 50+ thrift stores. Some good, some bad. Clothes are king, and you have to know 500 brands to be the ace. I also find good toys, games, books, and kitchen stuff. You just have to know when and where to go with thrift and go a lot.
Yep some areas are just sooooo much better when it comes to stores like that! Our area just doesn’t support too many like that… I wish it did though because it looks like a fun treasure hunt!!
Great video! I've been searching for a good collection to purchase, but I can't seem to find much here in Georgia. Even if I do, it's usually pretty far away, and since I don't have my license yet, I have to convince my dad to drive me three hours 😂. Hopefully, someday I can get my first collection to sell, especially once I get my license; I can really upscale my reselling business. Personally, I focus on garage sales, and with the weather getting warmer here in Georgia, more and more sales are popping up.
Your comment about Goodwill is so true, lol. I rarely find anything there, and everything is overpriced. I prefer local thrift stores; I've been flipping a lot of cheap plushies from 50 cents at my local thrift shops, selling them for $10 - $25. Also, had my greatest sale a couple of days ago for $300; I paid $25. Love watching your videos, especially the side of pulling and packing orders. It feels like that's not covered much in the reselling community; mostly, it's just Go-Pros at garage sales and flea markets.
Really appreciate the unique content you guys are putting out; keep it up! And congrats on monetization!
Same here in KY..up here people almost too poor too collect..but you keep GRINDN..I do ALOT of dVDs..$1.00 at thrift stores....our GOODWILL never has anything..again rural Appalachians dont have alot to Donate..Video Games, Comics, and Older Perfume are my bread and butter so far..been at it bout 4 months now..doing so much more business than i could imagine..biggest challenge is keep a good supply..we need remember these lean sourcing times and stock up during Yard Sale season!
Hey congrats on selling the $300 dinger!! That is awesome!! Hit those garage sales hard this year and keep growing that inventory. I love hearing about people who are planning to scale up their business!!
And thank you for the kind words about our channel! We love hearing all the feedback from folks… glad you are enjoying and hopefully it helps you source a little bit this year!!
I’m northwest central Ga. EVERYTHING is Atlanta, north. I may just take a trip back up to Mi and shop both ways!
When I go to the flea markets : SMALLS are a PRIORITY for me !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Keychains, Buttons , stickers , etc. In my store ; HALF or MORE are smalls .
I love smalls!! I could list smalls all day long
The algorithm is working in your favor cos I just found you guys! I think i like the vibes you guys are putting out, so I'm gonna sub! Also, very solid advice, and cool set up! always interesting to see other folks inventory and work set up! I love selling smalls too, mostly because of limited storage, but also easier to pack and ship too.
Thank you so much for joining our channel!! We are sure glad you found us!!
Just subscribed- thanks so much!
Oh awesome! Thank you so much.. glad to have you as part of the channel!!
Nice! I really do think there should be a mix of both lower priced items and higher priced items. With the economy what it is, not everyone can buy the expensive things. I see a trend of resellers listing only higher priced items as a business model and I get that, everyone should have their own goals, but I think you are smart to include a mix. You'll get the customers they miss out on. Just my thoughts anyway! 😊
We just absolutely love selling a little bit of everything.. it keeps it fun and interesting!! Actually excited about this deal we just made Friday because it’s a lot of items that we typically don’t have a chance to buy so it should be fun to learn a little bit from it and fun to show on video
Glad to see your sales bounce back nicely!
Yes much much better!! Thank you!!
I love seeing smalls!
Thank you so much for watching mama Bear!!
Those Wonder Bread cards are great. I think that might be Neal Adams's artwork. Those are only going up in value.
Yeah I liked them a lot! I wish they were in mint condition!!
Nice sales. New subbie here. Nice to see smalls!
Thank you so much for joining the channel! Happy to have you with us!!
You pretty much summed it up. Network, network, network... The more connections you have the more of a chance you have to find collections, IMO. Some military dealers I know come across toys and they have no interest and know I like vintage toys, so they get ahold of me, then either sell to me or hook me up with the person selling and vice versa with toy guys that may find military.
Hey are you headed to Syracuse this Saturday?? There is a guy advertising on Facebook & Craigslist stating that he is bringing a bunch of nice stuff there- slot cars NIP, 100s jeans w/ tags, sealed models, etc… I can’t go Saturday but I asked him how much for everything and he just said he’s committed to the market Saturday. Might be worth checking out, figured I’d give you the heads up
@@resellcny I might check it out. I know the guy you’re talking about. He can be a bit pricey but who knows with the quantity he has he might be willing to deal.. Appreciate the heads up!
Love the smalls , love lens it helped me a million times.
Google lens helps so so so much!! I remember years ago when I would have to keep scrolling through eBay, trying to find a specific item I had in my hands.. it took so much time away
Great video! Liked+Subscribed 👍🏻
Thank you so much for joining our channel!! Very happy to have you with us!!
Just came across your channel. Originally from the Fingerlakes area. Just subscribed.
Thank you so much for joining our channel!! Happy to have you with us!!!
another great sales day
Appreciate that.. thank you!!
Enjoyed the video! Great info… adorable little girl made me a new subscriber lol
Thank you so much that is so sweet of you! Thank you for subscribing to our channel… we are very glad to have you here with us!!
Great info. Subbed!
Thank you so much for joining us!! Glad to have you!
13:28 Same deal- ADD a date . Tornado is like 1971-1974 ish. Nice to add a date- gives the item more "flavor". The person buying this would not want it if it was from 1982.
New subscriber here. On Fb Marketplace I always check to see what else the seller is selling and sometimes I'll bundle deals.
Ahh yes good point!! I definitely should’ve mentioned that because we always check to see what other items they have or have had to sell. At the very least it gives you a better idea what type of seller you are dealing with too.
Thanks for joining our channel!! Glad to have you with us
First time watching your channel. Great content on the “collector” search. You guys are awesome. What is a slot car?
Thank you so much for joining us!! Happy to have you!
Slot cars are those small remote control toy cars that ride on a toy track.. on the bottom of each cars there is little metal brushes that touch the track and complete an electrical circuit and can the. Be controlled. Highly collectible and can be good money a lot of the time.
Sick erasers.
Yeah those were pretty awesome!! Thanks for watching!!
Hey guys hit your sale. But the rain closed you early
Oh darn really!! Sorry we missed you- we closed around 2. We will be open again tomorrow from 9-2 & I saved you those carded Star Wars figs if you are still interested
Thanks Guys!
Oh geez np.. thank you for all the support!!!
Nice I'm from CNY too
Oh awesome! We are about 20 mins east of Syracuse.
New sub here. Thanks for the videos.
Thank you so much for joining our channel! We are so happy to have you with us!!
new sub, you inspire me to list my smalls but its so tedious,🙂
Thank you so much for joining our channel!! Very happy to have you here with us!!
You are right- smalls can be very very tedious… usually when I do smalls I will just jam out as many as I can in one hour and then I will move on to different items. That way I don’t get burnt out doing the same type of things for too long.
17:29 Nooooooooooooo
cut n sew panel
Thank you!!!
Said Appalachia correctly so I immediately subscribed 😊
Lolol that’s awesome!! Thank you so much for joining us! …but trust me, if you watch long enough you will see me butcher 100s of words lol
@@resellcny awww that’s ok! Working on photos and listing and gonna binge watch. Great content!
@@Shoeshinegirl excellent!! I’m shipping weekend orders now…
Subscriber giveaway video should be out Wednesday so make sure you check it out!!
how do you find all these items? everything is so orgenized but how do you know where to look? do you write the item number? i want to learn
Thank you so much for the excellent questions! I actually screenshot it this question and a plan on covering it in one of our next videos. Basically all of the shelves and drawers are numbered or labeled somehow in the shop.. then, each item we have listed we use the custom sku in the listing to write down which shelf they are on. The custom SKU can be found in the item specifics when you were listing your item on eBay. I will try to show in one of our upcoming videos because it is something that everyone should know.. thanks again
In Germany, sourcing seems to me to be a bit different in general compared to the USA. In the beginning, I only bought collections on ebay.I'm into the niches of comics, collectibles and media. I still find good deals there, especially from inheritances. In the meantime, I also find good deals at an auction house in my hometown. The advantage here is that my hometown has almost 4,000,000 inhabitants.
Holy cow 4 million!! That’s so many people lolol. I think our town has like 24,000 or so.
Has to been so pretty good opportunities to buy there… and some good opportunities to buy really old items too!!
Wow. Where I live there is 220 inhabitants. I couldn’t imagine millions.
@@Mountainrock70 In the meantime, I'm more in the mood for something around 200 inhabitants. Too much craziness.
6:16 I'd LOVE to find a stash of these !! The older ones are even BETTER !! I've found these already made into pillows and they DO NOT sell .
Yeah they were a neat little find- it was surprising how many of them we in such a tiny bag! I think Paul listed like 30-40 of them and the took up like zero space
Do you have any auctions in your area? I used auctions as a source for die cast cars and made good money from them.
Oh awesome!!
We do have a few auctions here and there… truthfully though we have only been to one years and years ago. We did pretty good too…. Just haven’t been back for some weird reason. I think at some point this year we should try to hit one… would be fun
What the heck. It's night. You're supposed to be on early in the morning. Stop messing with my head.
Lolol last two weeks have had an extra video so it’s thrown me off a bit, just trying to spread them out the best we can.
May the LORD see you through the chemo.
Thank you so much for the kind words and thoughts!!
5:31 I have tried SO HARD to sell Vintage 1980s Dinosaur linens & things . Never worked for me - GAVE UP . I would think a good retro-1980s bedroom would REQUIRE this . Totally gave up on Dinosaur 1980s ANYTHING.
I was definitely surprised by how well the ones we had sold.. I think it’s just those specific ones that do well and the fact the most of the stuff we had was brand new
I am not a big fan of thrifting either. I really only go when Grandma has to go to a doctors appointment. Her primary is in the same plaza has a Goodwill. I more enjoy pallets and now getting into online and retail arbitrage
I’ve had a little bit of luck at thrift stores but not much.. and I don’t think I’ve ever really had a good retail arbitrage find. It’s crazy because some people are so good at it
@resellcny I joined a leads group for the retail and online side. No way I could find deals on the regular
What percentage do you promote your listings at?
We have settled in at 4.1%. That seems to be doing pretty well for us and we just do it across all of the listings.
@@resellcny thanks for the reply! I’m a super small reseller. Right around 190-200 listings so far. Trying to scale and grow my business. Just found you guys recently and subbed.
@@GroveResellers very awesome! Thank you for joining our channel. We are happy to have you here with us. We ourselves just started to experiment with promoted listings last fall and so far we like doing that better than running sales like we used to. And periodically we will do both at the same time, just to move some older inventory.
14:29 Elvis stuff after he died - just DONATE it. LOL. Real Elvis peeps want 1950s & 1960s Elvis.
Schlitz!!
13:55 Left "Hallmark" out of the title ? And "purple".
Darn it!! lol
Doesn’t small items profit get eaten up by shipping ?
Yes, it does eat into the profits quite a bit but with these items we list we just try to make anywhere between $5 and $15 leftover after shipping and fees of course. We definitely don’t plan on getting by with such small orders, but it really helps fill out each day with minimal time invested.
@@resellcny I feel like u have to sell little stuff in lots. If I don’t get 20$ or more per sale I’m not making much at all for some reason. Still newer to the game so maybe I’m doing something wrong.
@@Bacchibeatz no I dont think you are wrong at all… each item and each situation is completely different. We just love smaller items and can jam out 10-14 an hour and it adds up pretty good. Keep trying different things and you will find out exactly how & what you like to do!!
Most of my smalls do not cost much at all to ship. If they do then I just add the shipping cost to the price or just charge shipping from the get-go. As long as your purchase price on the item is within an acceptable range then your profit margin should within reason. I’ve noticed that, while I do make ok money on smalls, the biggest positive is the clientele that it brings to my eBay store. They might come for the small(s) but I notice that they eventually come back and purchase something else that has a higher profit margin…as long as you have a good mix of items
7:00 I would have charged a bit more for these . You left the word "JOKER" out of the title . I'd switch out "Joker" for "Robin". Also "D.C. Comics" for "National Periodicals" .
Oh no! I see too much fodder for $10.00 w/ free shipping in there 17:21 That's what we were trying to stay away from . P.S. You guys are NOT short of merchandise. LOL
Lolol with that last shipping price hike we have upped the lowest item we’d list a little.. a lot of these you’ll see going forward are ones that are listed before we changed our minimum.
Tell the person that lives in a desolate area who needs to travel to source : even if you have to drive for HOURS : FIND A FLEA MARKET . One single GOOD flea market is better than 50 Goodwills and 100 lame garage sales with baby clothes. Flea Markets tend to be "unfiltered". People tend to make pricing mistakes. And lots of sellers - are "house cleaners and JUNK removal" - and they RENT trucks to HAUL . Many of them DO NOT WANNA go home with the stuff! Many of them- at the end of the day: do "Everything Here: $1.00". TRY to find something at Goodwill for One Dollar . Not happening.
Actually, flea market was something Paul and I were talking about utilizing for our sourcing… we have never been and we have scoped out the Syracuse one.. hopefully that happens some day soon! I’d love a new treasure hunt
Wow ; I'd never make a cash offer just by looking at pictures ! I have to have the stuff right in front of me . Learned that - the HARd way - many years ago.
Yep definitely flirting with danger a bit if you do this- usually nothing is written in stone though and with this deal just a portion was agreed upon and with great upside and little risk. We had a great idea with that chunk of the deal
