- Reselling has changed. I think there are more opportunities then ever to make money reselling on eBay and beyond. In this video I tell you my strategy on reselling moving forward
Развлечения
I think I already told you I am 70. My body may not be as it once was but my brain wants to build my Posh and eBay business. I use to also own a publishing business with 37 employees….I have you tube on from the time I wake up till I go to bed. I crave learning how to improve. I don’t think I would be alone in this request - but from you (who I think would be the best teacher for this) if you would set aside one live a week for teaching one specific thing. You wouldn’t get the old timers but those of us who are thirsty would be your following.
It's not a tough job at all. Buy good profitable items. Make good listing and ship. It's all a numbers game. The more you list the more will sell. Keep in mind youtubers are performers. They tell you everything you want to hear so be careful. If met 2 different ones that have popular channels and their channels are acts.
I dunno for sourcing it's easy when it's easy, when it's dry it's tough. At least for me in clothing, someone like Jride is in so many categories it becomes more difficult to have a dry day I'm guessing vs someone niched, but someone niched will tend to find strange exceptional items within their realm of expertise. I dunno if being an everything seller is really better or niching down and going to multiple spots. @@xokayb7l2
Looking at your comments on his channel, it is very obvious you are old. He is not a tutor or private coach and you don’t own RUclips. Not everything is about you, this is RUclips. How crazy are baby boomers 😂
@1954ddsp, consider a few things here. He lives in Utah, which most sellers know has amazing sourcing. I would say the best in the US. He also has employees. Yes, you and I are babyboomers. I have 3 stores on eBay, only 800 items listed total after the Christmas rush, and I do everything myself, alone. I wish I could hire someone just to take photos so I could grow faster, but I haven't maxed out my time yet so that will come later. It IS a numbers game and you learn as you go. Pick a nitch and jump in.
I am turning 76 in 2024. I sell on eBay. I never have more than 20 to 30 items for sale. I sell for charity. 100% of my profit goes to my favorite charity. I have taught other seniors to sell.
I watch RUclips selling videos all day. I love learning what garments younger people want. I was afraid that as a senior I wouldn’t be able to recognize and sell popular youthful styles. But I remembered that designer Betsy Johnson is 81 years old! And she designs youthful styles. She is my inspiration. Grandma Bunny 🐰 the elder reseller in Phx.
Thanks for sharing you plan and goals as you move forward. You have taught me and others so much since you started this channel. Best of luck with the surgery and wishing you a speedy recovery.
You are most definitely one of my favorite eBay guru's. Thank you so much for sharing. You've helped me open up to a whole new world of sourcing. Positive vibrations for a safe and quick recovery.
Praying for your speedy recovery! Thank you for the great content.
I literally just started two weeks ago, and I was going to follow your initial advice and just start on eBay, but then I saw this video and decided to leap in with Mercari as well. I was frustrated with eBay’s 10 item limit for new sellers. I understand it,but, in my case I feel that I’ve been prepping for so long,I just finally wanted to get my listings out there. I’m so glad I did! So far I have sold one item on eBay and three on Mercari. I have 40 listing on Mercari and 9 on eBay, and I’m adding to Mercari every day. Once eBay let’s me more will go on there, too. Then I think I’ll head over to Poshmark. Right now this is enough. The two platforms are similar enough that it is really easy. It’s no doubt work, but I’m having fun and looking forward to lots more listings and sales! Thank you for your help and advice!
Just picked up 2 DVD/VCR combo players from Goodwill today close to 100% STR on one and over 200% STR on the other going to test and list them today. Thanks for all the solid advice, it's very much appreciated. Slow is smooth and smooth is fast is what you were looking for.
Hello could you tell me where or what kind of boxes do you use for shipping DVD / VHS Players? I’m a new reseller and nervous about shipping my combo players. Take Care
@@brettlott570 any box that will fit will work. If you are really worried about it a few places sell double wall boxes but they are pretty pricey. It’s more about how you protect the player inside of the box that matters. You want to roll the item in enough bubble wrap to where you can’t see the item anymore and then you want to use foam or paper all around the player so that there is an inch or two of protection on all sides and that the player will not move around inside the box make sure everything is locked down and wrapped up and it will be good to go. One trick I saw was to buy a foam mattress topper from Walmart for $12 and then cut it to fit your item it’s roughly the same cost as bubble wrap.
Thank you for the video. Best wishes and prayers for the surgery and quick healing.
Nice Jride! Sounds like some big exciting changes. Good luck man! 😎I believe the the saying is "Slow is smooth. Smooth is fast." Thanks for the video!
Thank you for consistently sharing your journey on here. Just watched some of your whatnot show and you did great. Happy to see your subs and business grow.
Thank you for the plethora of content you provide for us! You are our favorite reseller on RUclips!
Good luck with your recovery. Thank you for the information.
I only recently found your channel. Hearing how your business focus has shifted makes me SO happy and inspired. Keep going, and looking forward to following your 2024 journey!
Thank you so much for sharing such valuable information. I am learning a lot from you.
I will pray for your successful surgery and recovery. Please take the needed time to rest and heal completely. Also, good luck in your planned move later in the year. You have at least two major life changes in 2024. They are stressful events. Take care and move smooth!❤
Love watching your journey 🔆
The real world content you provide is so refreshing! Thank you for showing what is actually required to do what you do. The knowledge you are sharing is awesome and much appreciated!!! Thank you.
Hope you’re feeling better today thanks for sharing your knowledge with us good luck with your surgery 😊
Hello my friend. My name is Johnny Rister and im going to start reselling as a full time business. Im tired of slaving everyday at a job that i dont like. I had a revelation 2 nights ago thinking about my life and how can i make a funner living instead of working somewhere i dont really like. I know a few people that stared a reselling business. I have full heartedly agreed to start my own. I have watched video after video of yours and love the fact that your companionate about helping new comers and your intellect about this type of business is exhilarating. Thank you so much and i hope we can link up and collaborate
Hi Jake,
Wishing you a speedy recovery from surgery. God Bless you and your family
Best of luck with your surgery! Praying for a safe and fast recovery ❤💪🏼❤️💪🏼
Love your conent man! I learned a lot in this intresting subculture of reselling. I frequently go to the flea market in texas cause my parents sells a bunch of mexican clothing, and i picked up an intresting leather bag and I cleaned it up and posted it on Ebay. Guess what, I have a few intreastead buyers and this leather bag might sell up to $250ish dollars! Still not sure if I should reduce the price but I've been binge watching "Flips" channels a lot. Thanks for the content and hope you have a nice year!
Hey jride, I have 2 topics I’d love to have you address on a video:
1. What is your listing process, can you show a walk through? You claim to list a ton of items in a very efficient time, curious if you have any tricks or shortcuts, if you use templates, things like that (I also list from the phone as I think you said you do)
2. How do you lower your prices over time? We run sales once a month based on how long items have been listed. Do you do the same or are you spending hours going in and manually editing prices over time? Or something else?
Fellow full time seller from Nebraska, keep up the awesome content. If you ever want to rebrand I’d go with “the resale wizard” 😂, your knowledge of reselling (except toys 😉) is top tier compared to other RUclipsrs
Hey there, just watched your video and your plans to move to Northern Utah. We live in Sale Lake County. We have sourced NPS stores in Utah, Davis, and Salt Lake counties and they have nothing but junk. We have been e-commerce sellers for 22 years so we aren’t new at this. Please don’t decide your move based on supposed more opportunities. We typically have to source outside Utah for products worth reselling. We source everything from, retail, auctions, online arbitrage and recently bought a pallet. So please be careful before moving. Warm wishes on your upcoming surgery.
Hi, good health and thanks for the valuable information! I also had an inguinal hernia operation. Everything was fine, then I was very quiet for the first few months, no risky moves for the operation.
Your videos are so helpful. Thank you! Hope you have a Speedy recovering.
Thanks! I love your content and am glad that you will be keeping it up.
My reselling goal is to pay off the loan I took from my 401k for a down payment on my house. After that, if I manage to figure all this out, I can start paying down my mortgage. For now I’m watching your content and taking it slow. Right now I’m listing things from around my house that I’m finding as I unpack and settle into my new home. So not much overhead there, lol I’ve been taking a bath on shipping but since I’m not putting out money to source it’s all working out in the end. I’m not putting as much weight on STR because these are items that have been sitting around already. If they sell, great, if not, I’ll go through my inventory in six months and donate the items that haven’t sold. Either way they’re out of my house which is part of my goal. I’m selling on eBay as an individual. I only have a handful of items listed and sell one item about every two weeks. Once I am fully unpacked I will begin to source from yard sales and thrift stores. I’m hoping once my inventory increases my sales will increase. Paying off that loan before the 14 year limit would be great! Thanks for all the great content. It’s been a big help!
Jake at the tail end remembering his faithful followers ❤
I really appreciate the content that you put out. It’s very matter-of-fact to the point, and I’ve learned quite a bit
Good choice about mercari. You won't regret it
Great video. Air Force Vet here to remind the saying is "Slow is smooth, and smooth is fast".
Jake may be, the MOST transparent ebay seller. Correction, growth instructor, on RUclips & other platforms ❤🙌✨️👍💪👏👏👏👏👏👏
Heyloo I love how you break things down thank you so much
Good luck with your surgery. Hoping for a great and speedy recovery
I wish you well with your surgery and recovery. Take care of yourself.
Thanks for this info! I am still just figuring it out. I will be checking out your other channel for more tips.
Thats what ive been doing since the new year. Got rd of 100s of items that was stagnet in my store, and started replacing them with better items with better sell through & a higher profit. Purging felt great!!! Also did ths with my mercari & posh store & now im selling local too on fb marketplace.
Get Well Soon brother. Health comes first, take care of yourself. Best regards
Thanks for all of the info very helpful 😊
good luck with the back surgery, l had a hernia operation 3 years ago, and it changed my life for the better 100% 👍👍
Finding enough items definitely my problem right now. But you said it completely right. Used to be I had too many items not selling.
Not sure where you are located but ask around around if anyone knows of thrift stores. There are a few church ones by me open 1 or 2 days a week that don't show up on GPS and just have little old ladies running it.
I'd rather do the sourcing than prepping and shipping. Guys always do the fun stuff. Good luck, you will do well.
SMOOTH AS SILK, and yes it is smooth❤
Open up a little resale shop where you can do all your ebay shipping and processing from between checking people out at the register. That way you have one more outlet and will have people actually bring you stuff every day. If the wife has to work full time somewhere, better to separate work/home life and you'll have much more space to do it in having a store.
You become a prisoner to the store though. Trust me I had a video store back in the early 90's and as a 1 person operation it really limits your flexibility.
The Shop kills the flexibility. Go to a garage sale or keep the shop open?
Separating Work and living is good but you can do it under one roof eg. Just the basement for Work. But If both have to Drive somewhere to do the reselling Business they loose time and maybe push the fixcosts Up (Gas, Rent, 2 Cars etc)
Yes but he's also talking about having up to 3 employees now. Plus his wife. If you have 5 people committed, having a shop could solve several space/convenience/tax/cash flow issues and one out of the 5 ppl in the business could always be there. It could even just be a Friday thru Sunday shop & accept donations during the week only. If you don't need the shop to make money, as whatever revenue it makes is just like a bonus, you can run it however you like. It can just essentially be your processing warehouse with a weekend storefront. And keeping those employees out of your home.
Fact of the matter is there is just too many resellers. Contributes to lower inventory and harder to sell through. Pushes the prices down on most items. Have to work harder for less returns compared to a few years ago.
Wish you will pass your surgery more healthy and better.
You are A good man I will pray for you.
I appreciate you sharing your new business/life plan. It certainly encourages the rest of us to do the same. Is your wife gonna be happy just doing the prepping and cleaning though? That would get old really fast.
Amazing video man. Wishing you the best!
Good luck with the surgery and the move!
Never sick of hearing about sell through rate.
I don't remember who said it but I heard it on RUclips, it's been said that the customer is the algorithm. Do what you do with the customer in mind and the algorithm will like it too.
I never see you ship, I'm sure you have a style, I love the shipping part
I don’t like how mercari and postmark don’t give you control over shipping
I hope your hernia surgery goes well. I had hernia surgery when I was 40. It took me about two weeks to get back to normal. Hopefully yours is faster.
Be mindful of the pain pills opiates really are. addicting.
Next thing I would like help with is going through each line item in the ebay description such as fabric how do you know all the different fabric types - explain sleeves- theme- character.
Good info. Thanks for sharing.
This is a great time to crosslist to mercari! (once you've recovered). As of tomorrow they are cutting their shipping rate for 4 oz, 1 lb, and some of the heavier fedex/ups rates.
Good luck with your surgery and move to better place for sourcing!
I have an 8k item store but I only sell 30 a day. So maybe 10k and I’ll be at 50. But either way good video man, good luck with the surgery and move coming up.
Love your stuff jride ! Question, how and what do you know to cross list on posh or other platforms ? I never know what items of clothing to put on let's say poshmark . Any tips? Thanks again
Hi I love your content.. I will quit my job soon .. that’s the only way to focus on eBay and sourcing items . but first want to improve my sales on eBay ..
Good luck, Jake!
I truly appreciate all your information that you share, and so happy that this is a lucrative business on RUclips for you, as you have been my greatest inspiration! Keep you the great work, and may all the best come your way with your upcoming surgery & a speedy uneventful recovery
Good on u ! Yes I went from 800 to 400 up and down don’t sell much but havnt been listing enough I will again soon. 80% omg I thought 4 % was good lololololololol ummmm more research needed lol yes crosslisting have to start again as posh closed in Australia 🇦🇺 last year. Thanks for your videos I am looking for sunnies now still have my remotes listed they havnt moved fast. Cameras yes and toys toys toys
Content comment for the algorithm gods.
New subscriber... love your content! Thank you
I agree with you on clothes. It's my least favorite category to sell
*Slow is smooth and smooth is fast. Godspeed!
So I’m curious about your thoughts on seasonal items
Like garage sale Vintage Christmas decor can be great money but obviously the STR is not great 3/4 of the year or so
Do you hold and list “in season”
List and wait
Or pass entirely
Thanks for the great content
Great info.I’m a small time under 10,000 / year Ebayer.I slowed down after the IRS changed the tax rules where you had to pay after 600 in sales.
I know they changed that back somewhat ,but what are the latest tax rules for online sakes ??? Really pissed me off.I live in a small town so it’s low volume.
Do you list the item on each platform at the same price?
Best wishes for your surgery!
U rock jared
For someone thats new to this reselling and I've only got a few items listed on eBay and Marketplace at the moment. Which other platform would be best and easy for me to learn, macari or poshmark?
Hey! Im also in St George.
Don't you ever wonder why eBay just doesn't make an app for eBay sellers. How nice would it be to just scan a barcode, or take a photo, and instantly get the sell through rate without having to click or scroll or do math
The trouble with making it so easy is that anybody could do it. It takes away skill set so it will end up a race to the bottom.
Great video, do you have an opinion for which channel of yours has a higher ceiling? As a reseller I gravitate towards the flipping content but curious if you have noticed which video style RUclips audiences seem to lean towards? Flipping content or picking content?
How do you integrate a employee into your work flow? Curious
What do you use to manage cross posting? Is there a software to track all that so if something sells on ebay it's taken down on the other sites as well? Praying for your surgery to go well!
I have been told Vendoo does.
My store is primarily media, and the majority is books.
Anyone have suggestion's on other platforms best to cross post on?
Short term sacrifice for long term goals!
Still catching up on past videos but you mentioned "employees". Can you relay your experiences with that? How do you manage that and do you think it is paying off or will in the future? you mentioned hiring more after your move.
Do you use any specific software to track your inventory? I saw your other system and I use something similar, currently using google sheets.
i dont know how you keep up with thousands and thousands of items? I have about 600 on average and sell between 4-6 items per day. Last 90 days sales of $22,500. I am trying to scale up a bit more though
I have a high str item but it only has 1 view. What could be the issue?
Next show us how to find auctions that are ending soon how to bid when to bid how to find regular ones that you can get to know and buy from weekly. Show us step by step how to set-up what we are looking for.
Can you do a video about how much money you're bringing in from RUclips? Interested to know
As always, great content, well done. I wonder how you organize the ending auctions? How do you resume and list similar items? Greetings from the UK 👍🙂
I don’t do any auctions 100% buy it now
@@JrideFlips I expressed myself wrong. I meant when the item on listing ends. Are you relisting as a similar item?Are you relisting as a similar item? Automatically without any intervention or changes on your part.
are you using a cross listing program?
Hello new subscriber here! I’m fairly new to reselling and I was wondering where do you get boxes to ship DVD/VHS players? I have some but scared to list them because of the shipping situation. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated. Take Care
I buy 18x18x6” online for all combo units
Does Flyp work on a Mac
first listing on Mecari, sold in two hours. Nice item but a saturated one on Ebay... im sure it was boosted to sell quick. Im not to keen of Mecari s shipping options.
Dang bro what kind of hernia is it and how did it happen. Best wishes from Cali
hey I just stated reselling and I can't filter through the sold items on eBay on my phone. can you help, also I'm on android if it helps. thanks for all the tips so far
On the filters, you may have to click on "Show more" at the bottom. You can eliminate the need to click on "Show more" by going to Customize (in the Filter view) and turning on "Expand All Filters".
Yep hit show more and then scroll down
For us newbie that bought stuff we thought would sell, but haven’t, what do we do with those items? Bundle? Donate? Thanks!
We kept all our unsold inventory until we had enough to do a garage sale. Sold stuff for cheap and did really well. Whatever was left we donated. But you do need somewhere to store the unsold inventory.
You can also consider a consignment shop
Is your plan to cross list everything to all platforms, or are you going to post clothes to Poshmark and hard goods to Mercari. I see some RUclipsr picking and choosing what they post where. Hopefully the question makes since.
I only cross post clothing to poshmark because of the 20% fees. Electronics move fast so I will only list them on eBay and Mercari where the fees are cheaper
Slow is smooth, smooth is fast
Do you pay to promote listings?
I am clearing my house for good. I do have a lot of stuff, I worked at Goodwill 20 years ago and I am trying to learn how to get rid of the goods . Would you be interested in the things I know nothing about, like remote controls. I am learning about the things I know but you suppressed me what your videos. Can we actually skip the platforms?
Can you explain whatnot?
Are there any AI tools you recommend?
