I just subscribed to your channel upon finishing this video, mainly because I was planning to sell all my inventory and stop altogether. I am pretty close to letting go of my stuff and start fresh with something easier to store. This video has given me hope to not give up and find my own niche! Thanks!
Atleast you're not giving up eBay all together. I was dismayed when I first saw your thumbnail. You're the one that got me into reselling one year ago, and I love watching your vids. Didn't want to lose one of my favorite RUclips resellers
Now you get to have the fun of going out and finding new stuff….Yard sales…Flea markets..Garage Sales…Rummage Sales…Estate Sales….here comes the Cincinnati Picker!!!!
Well hello...I have family down there in Cincinnati. I live up north of you right off I-75, hometown of Neil Armstrong. Great idea. The stuff I landed came from a couple neighbors that were moving out and was leaving the stuff behind. So free it was which was great but it's been slow moving here and there plus I have so much that sometimes I am overwhelmed with getting it loaded with pics etc. Hoping this summer I can get more loaded online and get more or better organized.
I’ve always wanted to flip items but I can’t figure out how you guys keep up with your taxes. Seems like there would be no profit left since you have no receipts from your buys. Any advice you give is appreciated
@@morrisonsgamefowlfarm1752 I keep track of all my cash withdrawals by keeping a business bank account. All I can tell you is I am VERY successful as a reseller and taxes are never an issue even if I owe.
Excellent advice! Turns out I have been a bit bullheaded. Go figure. Lol Determined to keep and sell (For freaking EVER), stuff that sat and sat. We all know sometimes it just doesn't sell for us. Guess I needed permission to get it knocked out in order to make room for better items. Many Blessings Thank you
Smart move! Instead of spending the time and labor to move it on What Not, just unload the stale inventory and rebuild with fresh. Makes sense! Nice work!
Yeah don't hold on to the inventory. We are in the business of flipping, not storing. I usually do it like this: New items are up for a week, haven't sold the second week 10% off, third week 20% off, fourth week 30% off whatever is left in week 5 stays on 30% but i send out offers for another 5-10%. I do that, especially with big items (Electronics, Kitchen Aid Mixer etc) to get them moving fast. Smaller items I don't really mind them sitting for a while, they are store fillers.
John, congrats on getting your old stock out & starting with a fresh slate in time for a busy gargage sales season. I like that idea of a yearly purge early in the year in prep for Spring. Great advise 👏 thanks for sharing.
That's exactly what we're doing as well...out with the old, in with the new. We've cultivated connections with several of the local HiBid auctioneers and push old stock out through one while pulling new stock from another! The idea isn't to become a warehouse, it's to get things in-and-out as quickly as possible while making a buck. If it's not selling, it's dead weight...
Getting rid of old stuff makes good sense. Since you are getting new stuff it makes more sense. Thanks for the video. Paul you always have good content. Peace out
John you are the Master of get it in and push it out! I on the other hand am good at get it in, but then slow at listing, then set it and forget it. However, I am still making consistent sales so I am not too worried I am running things the wrong way. Hope you and yours are well!
What timing! I have enough inventory to fill a large store and its just me doing ebay. Has to be 30k worth just sitting. Paying for storage units, filling garage and sheds. Now looking for more storage in backyard. And garage sale season starting!You just convinced me completely wrong approach! I need to purge dead inventory and stop listing items for less than $10-20. Waste of time and space. Thanks so much! Now need to wholesale some inventory asap! I'm in NJ if anyone needs.
I do the same thing every year to. I mark down items thats been sitting on Ebay then if it doesn't sell goes to yardsale. Then if if it doesn't sell at the yardsale I donate it.
Good for you! I can imagine how good it feels to clean everything out (as I look behind me in my tiny office with boxes of inventory all over). BTW, you might have been the first reseller I started watching and now I'm doing it part time on the side. I do videos but I'm lucky to get over ten views...lol. But I like doing them. Your videos always have these great nuggets of knowledge...thanks for doing them.
Great advice. I see videos where resellers have inventory that gets larger and larger and larger until they have a mountain of unsold merchandise. It seems they fall in love with their stuff and firmly believe it is worth a certain amount. Unfortunately, it is only worth what someone will pay for it today. Good luck with your new beginning!
I was worried you were quitting altogether, lol. Selling a bunch of stale inventory to make room for new inventory was a great idea. I went through several purges of my inventory throughout the winter, donating stuff to my local Savers, but I still have too much stuff that's taking up space, space that I need for new stuff. I go to estate sales, garage sales, curb alerts, and thrift stores, so I acquire a ton of stuff from May through September. The rest of the year it's difficult. I sold a lot that I got last summer, but there is still a ton that won't sell. A decent amount are items I thought would be highly sought after, but I was proven wrong. I've learned a lot, but there's always so much more to learn. I worked so hard to build up quantity last year, increasing my average listing count from 225 to 925, that I really need to focus more on quality this year. My average price is horrendous, $15, which includes shipping.
Yes, not enough, but I'm making progress. On some stuff I break even or lose money, which is a problem I need to work on, but overall I am making money.
I agree too. We've been sitting on a lot of clothes that I really want to flip. BTW, eBay dropped over 40 items without contacting us. So they will get donated. Doing some Swedish Death cleaning is great for any store.
It's a good idea and plan for the new plan to resell at eBay. You are right keep stuffs in their inventory too long for not getting any profit out of it just like trash. I personally think is right thing to get rid the old stuffs rebuilt a new one. 👍💯💃
I envy your fresh start. My business model is a bit different, though. I have about 2k items in my store and most things take a long time to sell (sometimes years), but I also make huge profit margins. Most of my items are very rare and are not that price sensitive. The problem is finding that one person who wants it.
I knew something was up when I went to your store the other day and only saw like 5 items! Last summer I cleared about 40 bins of inventory that was never listed. Average cost per bin was $25. So $900 but spread over 4 years and I had reached over $50k in gross sales and still have items to list. This was basically bundling. No net effect on profit but cleared storage and brain drain.
I was just wondering, is there a simple and easy way to transfer a whole store, or even a select amount of listings in your store from one account to another? Would be a nice option to have to unload inventory from one person to another.
My sales tanked with the war. And after many deep markdown sales, got rid of my sweet cheap tiny windowless office, took my store down to zero, got rid of the store but not the account, and gave my inventory away. I love to source of course, but am really tired of listing indoors and missing the ocean and summer. Storages in my city are super expensive, so I didn’t get one. I sold a trombone on cl yesterday and it felt good!
I saw the title and said aloud noooooooo!!!!! I told my hubby you had already done your April Fools video so I had to watch this as soon as we got home. Well done, cannot wait to see your new stuff and watch how you work smarter not harder. Exciting!
Love your inventory system. I never considered doing it like that. Have you ever done a video on how the system works? Pretty sure I have an idea but need to get a better system set up for myself. Selling off before a new season is a good choice IMHO - Happy Hunting.
Really smart to move the old dead stock! I need to go through my old stuff that isn't selling. Typically, I'll cut the price, and if that doesn't work, I donate. Also smart to work on raising average selling price. It takes the same amount of time to list a $100 item as it does a $10 item. I judge my capacity in terms of listings. So getting the average selling price UP gets me more $$ for the same # of listings.
With the shift to whatnot selling this kinda genius. When you're out sourcing you can focus on reselling directly to those two completely different types of revenue streams.
WOW John, you could write a book on reselling! What a SMART business move! Loved what you said about not being married to your inventory!!! Best to you and the fam! Granny ang in WA state 👩🦳🇺🇸
That's an interesting idea. I am not a reseller just like to visit thrift stores and find things on the cheap. I've given away a lot to friends and family but now have way too much stuff. Don't have the time to resell them one at a time, maybe bundling them up and empty out my apartment. I don't really need a profit, I'd just like to get what I have into them. Nothing for my time or gas. I have been thinning out the lower cost items, donating them back to Goodwill.
Those metal rack systems seem to be a good choice for eBay store inventory, but they can be so expensive... Any suggestions on places to pick these up? So far I bought one and my inventory is getting ready to spill into a second rack.
I got mine that look very similar to the ones he has (mine are 4 shelf not 5) with wheels for my stuff from Sam's Club for $40. You have to watch inventory because they go in and out of stock quickly.
Hey just wanted to let you know to check your local online auction companies…alot of times they are cleaning out the entire house contents…even shelves
Always loved your low inventory strategy, but this is a new record for low inventory. I thought Kevin selling all of his inventory last year was crazy. Obviously it worked out for him and will be great for you. ( 90 yearbooks wow).
Cool beans. I'd love to sale my whole store. And start fresh haha. I deff need to purge so much siting and I keep sourcing. Kicking myself in the butt for sure lol
Something no one talks about is how unsold inventory cuts into profits. It takes a huge cut. The time you spent sourcing this stuff. The time spent listing, price adjusting, and finally removing these listings. It's a huge waste of time, and money.
All depends on what you are selling. I am selling books and they never go out of fashion. From my 2017 buy (+5.000 books) I now have 137 books over. And I am still selling books I bought a few years ago. Today I sold a book from 2017. So, inventory is key for my business. But I must say that I tend to have an inventory of about 10.000 books which form me is workable.
I have been doing the same lately. I have been slacking a bit. So this week ddcided to unsold my entire ebay store. we will have a garage sale and the rest will be donated. Only a couple.of things will be relisted. bringing new stuff in. I need fresh stufd. Most stuff does not sell..it is from when I started my store on 2019
I've always thought yearbooks were interesting also. I'll thumb through some real quick to see if any celebrities or sports stars. Only one I have is one with John Stockton at Gonzaga that I picked up about 2o years ago.
Awesome video John. I love your ideal of out with old, in with the new. I do have a question for you. I was wondering what are the dimensions of your shelves that you use? And where did you get them? I'm wanting to get some for my Ebay room. Thanks for you help. Happy Reselling!!!
I noticed the other day and was wondering if you were going to stop selling on ebay. I need to take some of that advice because I do not purge my stuff enough. Can’t wait to see you build it back this year.
Just did the same exact thing, took down over 400 listings. Sold all to a friend of mine who resells as well. Made him a good deal, I still made out in the end.
Awesome 🤩 Can’t wait to see what you find next 🥰 I’ve thought about having a couple of my reseller friends come pick through my “death pile”. Just get the load lighter. I miss the treasure hunt 💕
The first year book I bought was for 25 cents. University of Pennsylvania. Spent a long time communicating with their alumni society. Bingo! Peter O'Malley was in it. Former Dodgers owner. Sold it for $100. I love buying them too.
A question I keep coming back to: Do you have a number in your head of what it costs you to sell stuff? When you buy something at a yard sale for $10, do you already know it's going to cost you say 25% between packaging, shelf rent, handling, ebay fees, etc, before you start to make a profit?
Omg! U were freakin me out i thought u were quitting ebay...HAHA...Sounds like it was a great deal for you both!! Cant wait to watch u rebuild ur store!! So excited!!!! 😁
Good luck…it does feel god to purge! I recently bought a Barbie collection for $1,000…there were about 230 Barbie’s in total all boxed! They were mostly from the 80’s and 90’s. I will say be careful when doing your research there are a lot of fake comps out there in the Barbie category for some reason!

I’ve had some stuff up for 8 years straight. Maybe it’s time for new photos, new listing and a price increase.
I'll never understand why anyone would pursue flipping/in-house wholesale over third party fulfilment
Exactly Where I am at! Spring Time Yard Sale! NW OR! Going For the Purge As Well! Thanks Cinci-Picker!

Glad you are not leaving, good luck with your new start! Can you do something about restarting the Reds? Take care john.
So, you sold your entire store, get a clean slate AND you helped someone else out? Sounds like a massive win for everyone involved. Good for you!

Good luck…it does feel god to purge! I recently bought a Barbie collection for $1,000…there were about 230 Barbie’s in total all boxed! They were mostly from the 80’s and 90’s. I will say be careful when doing your research there are a lot of fake comps out there in the Barbie category for some reason!
Good decision, need to do same thing

I'm in NE Ohio (east of Cleveland) would you share your method of finding garage sales.
