SPOILER ALERT: don’t read the comments if you don’t want to know what happens. 😀 To everyone saying they were fakes or stolen goods, it’s possible. However, based on the conversations and context clues, I think it was a busy mom, homeschooling a bunch of kids, who decided to get into liquidation for extra money but didn’t realize how much time it took to list. Therefore, they ended up selling it at their garage sale. A lot of that is speculation, but that is what I think the true story is!
OH. MY. GOSH!!! I have so many thoughts. 1) how dare he?! how dare she?! 2) this is NOT very Iowa nice 3) they were about to offload ONE HUNDRED items and then backed out?! I'm with you...I would have walked away. Personally, my excitement for the items would've faded, I would've dreaded listing them, etc. all around bad juju. So glad you shared this story though. Absolutely WILD!
I think the wife saved them all from pretty big felony charges. Maybe Amber doesn't realize that it is a crime to be in possession of stolen goods, and the higher the value, the heavier the charges.Also more likely that the victim will pursue charges.
Hi Amber! Wow, I think you did the right thing, my spidey sense was telling me that it seemed fishy…wonder if it was a stolen lot? Glad you walked away, I wouldn’t go back there either! 😮
You did the right thing…shady, shady folks. What he did was “crawfish” on the deal. Don’t go back because they’ll be expecting you & there’s already bad vibes all the way around. You’ll find other deals! Good Shopping Karma to you!
No I would not have paid $15 each on the sweaters. I would have left too. I doubt they made $750 on these sweaters. Why go through all the work of setting up garage sale not to make that kind of money at one time. When you said they had 100 I immediately thought they must be fakes. That's where I thought this video was going. Still suspicious as to why someone would have this many new with tags of anything.
I would have said “I’m sorry we couldn’t make a deal.” And left and never went back. Also with the quantity that they had I would have wanted some explanation of where they got them from to confirm authenticity before considering a deal at all.
I would have left for sure. I refuse to give my money to stupid people. Could you still have made a decent profit? Maybe, but every time you sell one of those things you'll think of that stupid interaction. Best to just walk away and forget it :)
The anticipation was killing me. Honestly I’m just glad that you didn’t buy $1000 worth of knock offs haha BUT I would have been soooo pissed and I would have done exactly what you did. Although, if it was all loaded and he had the money I would have closed my trunk and said too bad. I’m not down for clownin around haha 😅
So sorry that happened to you. For that amount, I would have wrote up a receipt prior to you leaving to get the additional funds. This way, it was a signed sale agreement. Also, since you already had some of the merchandise in your vehicle (which means it is in your possession and he already had your money)-I would have just left with those after he refunded the ones still out.
Glad you got away with your money and they didn’t keep your $. My experience in my 63 year old lady self is if it seems too good to be true it probably is. Thanks for sharing your story. I know it will help someone. Resellers learn so much from each other ❤
I would've absolutely left! that was so rude. I was at a sale this summer and all the kids' shoes were 0.50 cents. I found a cute pair of uggs boots and went up to pay and she laughed at me and said, just so you know.....those aren't 50 cents with a slight giggle in her voice. I WAS SO PISSED. Turned around and put them back and she quickly realized she was being rude and was like, oh no wait come back. I'm like nah, no thanks.
I would have reminded them that you had to come back after being there the day prior, plus srive all the way to the bank to get cash. At least make him feel bad. Arg.
They seem to be using you to gauge the resale value of their stock. The test run at $5, you bought them all. Next time try a much higher price, and see what someone will pay. W/o batting an eye you agreed to pay $7.50 each, and you're buying in bulk so you must be flipping them at a higher price point . Well he was excited so he brought out a lot more hoping you'd buy them too. His wife is thinking that if all these hit the market you are going to draw heat, and then you'll mention to the cops where you got them, and you'll all go to orison, as the value on these is at least $10,000 = felony charges. Chances are pretty good that it's stolen merchandise .
Ethics trumps Profit, In my humble opinion! Yes, you may have “lost” in some profit, but I would have done the same darn thing! My son did a HUGE lot deal at a yard sale of Funko (when they were BIG) & other collectibles & gaming stuff. The lady had a list hanging with the prices for each…son (19 then) did some heavy calculating (while she kept saying they were her husbands & trying to pay bills) she tried to do the math & kept failing, so finally said, “ok..sure” He handed her the cash and she was waving the cash around to the other lady, saying “look how much I got blah blah blah “we were kind of giggling, because evidently she’d never seen that much cash in her lifetime. But I looked at my son and I said “load it QUICK!” So, we’re shoving boxes upon boxes of items into the car as fast as we can, because I just knew that if her husband showed up, there would be trouble! LOL btw, he did profit big time😊
You made the correct choice by leaving without buying anything. I also would have done the same thing. I would have been so irritated cause not only did he waste your time while you were getting the money for the items, he wasted your time when you were putting the items into your car, etc. I definitely would have paid $15 for a substantial jacket but it’s also tricky because if they have 100 Nakatano items are there other people with 100 Nakatano items? You considered options like market saturation which is important. Were they worth $7.50? Yes. Were they worth $15? Maybe. Were they worth $15 after he backed out? No. I am sorry this happened! I would be scared to go back but I probably would go just to see what happens lol
I haven’t read the comments but my first thought was I would never have negotiated to begin with (because I’m a chicken 😂). If I saw NWT Naketano for $15 & was sure of its authenticity I would have payed full priced and skipped to my car lol. Of course in this case I would have only gotten the 30 pieces since I wouldn’t have went back the next day. I loved the story telling & had this actually happened to me though I would have been so frustrated and done the same as you!
I would have been livid, but I would have done the same thing that you did. If they wanted $15 for each one then I'd want proof that I wasn't buying stolen goods because going from 15 to 100 hoodies overnight is sus. Honestly, I would never go back to buy from these people. If they back out of a done deal on me once then there's no reason for me to have confidence that they won't do it again. It's just dirty and not very midwest of them.
Yes, I think I’ll stay up from their sale just because of how that deal ended up. I really do not think they were stolen. I think the mom tried to get into liquidation, and then didn’t get stuff listed, so they were trying to sell it at the garage sale. As I said at the end of the video, the dad said they tried liquidation for a bit and that’s where the inventory was from.
@@AmberResells..but does that make sense? She went out and bought them retail in hopes that she can list them for more? How do you acquire 100 sweatshirts NWT without a license agreement….does she have a boutique store? Is that brand on the VERO list? Selling 5 of the same brand is one thing but putting 100 NWT in your eBay / posh is a whole different ballgame..it could very well raise an issue with platform and if you do not have an agreement with brand you could be jeopardizing your eBay account. I don’t care if they look like they have money something is fishy ….that much NWT items should be easily explained….how come u didn’t ask any questions
@@jenaton5767 As I said at the end of the video, they told me they used to do liquidation, and that is where the inventory came from. Fair critique that I should try to get proof of purchase if I ever run into something like this again.
I would have walked away too! You already had a gentlemen's agreement on price, had gone to trouble of getting cash & loading up - their greed cost everyone. Now they are stuck with having to sell individually. I bet they regret it now!
I have had this situation occur in the past. I would have said something to the effect that, "I appreciate that you have to live with this outcome but this is a good negotion for both of us. This deal is done." Your wife is just having temporary sellers remorse. I would have mentioned that she sold them for $5 at the last sale. I would have said this is a fair deal. If he pushed back I would have offered $250 more so he could sleep that night. I would have thought dang, so close, but oh well. Have you ever cancelled a sale on Ebay or elsewhere? Sometimes we get grace and sometimes we get it. I would have stayed in the negotiation.
Shame on them! I would have left as well. After a few years of reselling, I've developed a zero-tolerance for BS (I block low-ball buyers too ;-). Stay Zen
If I was w/someone else, I would have kept my paid goods + rolled on outta there. But if I had walked away like u did, I would have wanted to send someone there to check out the authenticity of their goods.
You paid. They were yours. He can't back out after they were already sold. I would have left with the items. If they tried to stop you, I would have called the cops.
I would not have paid the $15 just on principle. I would have told him sell them to me or I’m calling the cops. (Just as a threat) If he still didn’t sell them I would have left like you did.
Only one other commenter said call the cops. That’s my first thought. Some folks won’t see the light til they feel the heat. Bring it on. But after reading through all the comments and listening to your entire story, Amber, I think that you’re better off not having those jackets even in light of how much potential profit there might be, or might’ve been who knows if there aren’t 10 or 20 other people with 100 of those jackets? And the worn just hasn’t turned yet.
I absolutely would have taken everything, thrown it onto the table/ground and left. The only way I would have discussed further is if even at full price, it was the deal of a lifetime. If I'm even the slightest bit uninterested even at the lower price, I'm onto the next sale. Because there's always a next sale.
Wow! That is pretty crappy that happened to you. The deal was a done deal. The wife should have been at the sale handling it herself and not an arm chair quarterbacking her husband. They had advance notice you were coming back, going to negotiate with “dad”. 😮 I bet they are stuck with all that and kicking themselves for not doing the deal!! You definitely did the right thing by walking away. You have every right to be upset by that!!
Simple ‘bait and switch’ scam. You were right walking away. If a person won’t hold to the agreement they made with you initially, you shouldn’t feel obliged to give them ANY more business. Lots of stuff out there, and granted these are high end and very desirable but right is right.
I hope you got your money back before you left. ha...You did the right thing and the sellers just lost out on a sure sale with $750 in pocket. I would have walked away too.
I would have done exactly what you did. Would gave been so upset. Especially since the deal was done. So sorry... but great sales on the items you DID get!!
I would have gotten my money back and left. Bad juju, and never go back to them again . Wish them luck in selling them at that price . Similar thing happened to me negotiated price when I went to pay though she wanted double, so I politely said, No thanks and left.
You made the correct choice by leaving without buying anything. I also would have done the same thing. I would have been so irritated cause not only did he waste your time while you were getting the money for the items, he wasted your time when you were putting the items into your car, etc. I definitely would have paid $15 for a substantial jacket but it’s also tricky because if they have 100 Nakatano items are there other people with 100 Nakatano items? You considered options like market saturation which is important. Were they worth $7.50? Yes. Were they worth $15? Maybe. Were they worth $15 after he backed out? No. I am sorry this happened!
It showed there character n I would not give them any more if your business there's other places to purchase n they where trying to ripe you off knowing you where really interested. They don't deserve your hard working money. 😊
My thoughts are this. A legally binding agreement can be verbal as long as both parties clearly understand the terms and agree to them. You had that. I would have said, I'm sorry but we finalized a lawful and legally binding agreement. You've been paid, now excuse me while I load my property. That said, I do a lot of things most people wouldn't but you jumped through all his damn hoops, if there was some box he needed to check before throwing out a price, it was totally on him to do that BEFORE negotiating a final agreement. You bought them at his asking price in the currency he specified. End of story if you ask me.
I would've done exactly what you did. And I would never go back there again, even though it's very tempting. He already took your money, it was a done deal and it's not your fault he and his wife didn't communicate. The truth is that he has to live with her and she could've made his life miserable if he went ahead and stuck to the deal😆. I hope you find another great sale and never have to deal with those people again
He offered the deal!? You didn't even negotiate down to that price. That is very bad business, he should have honored the agreed on price (that he came up with). I would have left as well.
I don’t think you had any choice but to say no and leave. Even if the margin would still have been good at $15 cost, it was the principle of the matter. When he backed out u could no longer have faith in them as a seller. I would have walked away as well.
Sounds like the wife didn't have very good business sense, which is probably why she was selling them off to begin with. She didn't want to do the work, but also didn't want to take "the hit", got nervous and backed out. She also took the cowards way out hiding behind her husband where she doesn't have to deal with you personally. I woulda asked to speak with the wife (in sales talk, the decision maker), the husband was happy to let you load the jackets so he's obviously already ok with it and you got nothing to lose. Perhaps calmly talking over the options might have helped her see sense (i.e. how likely are 100 people to come individually and buy these jackets at full price? how much work will it take to move them if they don't sell? how badly do you need the space?) and remind her why she needs to shift them in the first place. Maybe something like "I can give you $750 right now, you get your space back and don't have to babysit these for days while hundreds of people try them on. They could get damaged, mould etc.". I'm still working at this myself, but there's some stuff in Brian Tracy's 'Advanced Selling Strategies' and Jordan Belfort's 'The Way of the wolf' that would probably make sense in this situation, where there's obvious benefit for both parties to the deal going ahead. Even if it doesn't work out, at least having spoken to wifey, you would be able to gauge what the hell just happened, and perhaps learn something you can use to get a one up the next time this happens. I always try to see how far the rabbit hole goes so I at least learned the lesson fully all the way to the end, if that makes sense.
Lesson, do the deal and get out fast.... Depends on how much money I would be leaving on the table and how quick I thought I could sell them. Yes they were being unreasonable and I would have probably said "look, the deal is done, money has changed hands but to keep things civil, I will split the difference and give you $11 per." But you are buying 100 items I assume they alot of duplicates, volume doesnt move all that fast on eBay and Posh especially when your price point is about $30., so you maybe sitting on these for a while. I think if you take the emotion out of it (which I think any professional buyer would have a problem with these sellers) and did a Cost v Risk v Profit Analysis Cost (how much is the $1500 is going to affect you, is this a big $ deal for you or is this something you do on a weekly basis) vs Risk (Time to sell, are they fake, are they stolen) vs Profit analysis you would have swallowed the BS and made the deal.
It sounds like they literally stole them from you. You had a deal, he had the money, you had 50%+ loaded already. I would have probably gotten pretty heated then hopefully realized I was on someone else’s property about to do something stupid. Then hopefully I would have calmed down enough to just cancel and leave like you did. I would never go back. Later on I would regret not paying the $15 per too. 😂 I loved the story, and hope I am never in that spot. Thanks Amber!
@@shedflips Lonnie! I swear I was hoping you’d watch this video because I wanted to know what you’d do 😆 thanks for watching. Yeah, I was pissed. Couldn’t believe we got that far in the deal before he talked to his wife.
@@shedflips FYI: I almost gave you a shoutout in next week’s video because I only knew I was allowed to list a certain type of item because of watching your videos…but I wasn’t sure that you’d want to be credited for this particular knowledge 😆
I think there are a couple caveats, she was at public sale on private property so she wasn't trespassing. At the point the seller pulled the plug on the deal, the property was bought and paid for and legally belonged to Amber. I would have said, you said 750 in cash, I did that, now excuse me while I load my property. Nothing heated, I'm just completing the terms we agreed to.
@@fashionmews6886 In no way did I mean to imply the clothing didn’t belong to Amber. My point was that you never know when a civil issue can turn into a criminal one when it involves money. Will the seller physically assault you to keep you from loading the property? Will the verbal agreement stand good in court? If it doesn’t then we have a case where you are stealing their property and a physical altercation broke out. Way too messy to dig in and “stand on business” imo.
I would have done the same thing. Except I would have called him something I won't say here. And I would have said good freaking luck selling them. I'm pretty hot in the moment. And then I would have been grateful and moved on. I don't stay upset. Buying quantities like that comes with risk. You were assuming sure thing.

I would have left on GP. The fact that you went out of your way to get the money AND it was halfway loaded Into your vehicle.
I would have bailed on the shady bastards.
I would have left too. They knew for 18-24 hours that someone was coming to buy in bulk. Sounds like good cop, bad cop to meeeee!🙈
OH. MY. GOSH!!! I have so many thoughts.
1) how dare he?! how dare she?!
2) this is NOT very Iowa nice
3) they were about to offload ONE HUNDRED items and then backed out?!
I'm with you...I would have walked away. Personally, my excitement for the items would've faded, I would've dreaded listing them, etc. all around bad juju. So glad you shared this story though. Absolutely WILD!
You did the right thing by leaving it behind.
If you paid the man then they were yours. How could he take them back.
I agree,
I thought they were probably stolen at the beginning of your story. You did the right thing in leaving.
I think the wife saved them all from pretty big felony charges. Maybe Amber doesn't realize that it is a crime to be in possession of stolen goods, and the higher the value, the heavier the charges.Also more likely that the victim will pursue charges.
That is wild! Who would turn down a deal like that at a garage sale. They panicked. Def getting stolen goods vibes!

Only one other commenter said call the cops. That’s my first thought. Some folks won’t see the light til they feel the heat. Bring it on.
But after reading through all the comments and listening to your entire story, Amber, I think that you’re better off not having those jackets even in light of how much potential profit there might be, or might’ve been who knows if there aren’t 10 or 20 other people with 100 of those jackets? And the worn just hasn’t turned yet.
Awesome video
Walked on principle…that is so shady. No ethics or character at all-you still got some good stuff and made a profit
I absolutely would have taken everything, thrown it onto the table/ground and left. The only way I would have discussed further is if even at full price, it was the deal of a lifetime. If I'm even the slightest bit uninterested even at the lower price, I'm onto the next sale. Because there's always a next sale.
Wow! That is pretty crappy that happened to you. The deal was a done deal. The wife should have been at the sale handling it herself and not an arm chair quarterbacking her husband. They had advance notice you were coming back, going to negotiate with “dad”. 😮 I bet they are stuck with all that and kicking themselves for not doing the deal!! You definitely did the right thing by walking away. You have every right to be upset by that!!
Screw those people. You did the right thing by saying no deal.
What a bummer, but I would've done the same. Take your money back & run! Shame on him, a deal is a deal!
I would have said "fine", but you can unload this stuff if you want it back.
Simple ‘bait and switch’ scam. You were right walking away. If a person won’t hold to the agreement they made with you initially, you shouldn’t feel obliged to give them ANY more business. Lots of stuff out there, and granted these are high end and very desirable but right is right.
I hope you got your money back before you left. ha...You did the right thing and the sellers just lost out on a sure sale with $750 in pocket. I would have walked away too.
I would have kept loading them and driven away. I can't believe you gave them back.
I would have done the same thing. That’s so rude of them!
I would have done exactly what you did. Would gave been so upset. Especially since the deal was done. So sorry... but great sales on the items you DID get!!
I would have walked away too.
I would have been annoyed, too. But if you had to pay full-price, and still made a profit, then I would have purchased 20 or so of them.
I would have gotten my money back and left. Bad juju, and never go back to them again . Wish them luck in selling them at that price . Similar thing happened to me negotiated price when I went to pay though she wanted double, so I politely said, No thanks and left.
Definitely wouldn't have gone to all that trouble, but it seems like a great deal, so Yes? Oh, I don't know! That sucks!
I would have done exactly what you did. Also, I would go back if they have another sale .
You made the correct choice by leaving without buying anything. I also would have done the same thing. I would have been so irritated cause not only did he waste your time while you were getting the money for the items, he wasted your time when you were putting the items into your car, etc. I definitely would have paid $15 for a substantial jacket but it’s also tricky because if they have 100 Nakatano items are there other people with 100 Nakatano items? You considered options like market saturation which is important. Were they worth $7.50? Yes. Were they worth $15? Maybe. Were they worth $15 after he backed out? No. I am sorry this happened!
It showed there character n I would not give them any more if your business there's other places to purchase n they where trying to ripe you off knowing you where really interested. They don't deserve your hard working money. 😊
I would have walked like you did!
I may have felt obligated to still buy. idk I have issues😂 If they back out than you can too
I would have tried to keep the original negotiation
I would have been really mad. That was really shady. I dont think this was on the up and up either!!
My thoughts are this. A legally binding agreement can be verbal as long as both parties clearly understand the terms and agree to them. You had that. I would have said, I'm sorry but we finalized a lawful and legally binding agreement. You've been paid, now excuse me while I load my property. That said, I do a lot of things most people wouldn't but you jumped through all his damn hoops, if there was some box he needed to check before throwing out a price, it was totally on him to do that BEFORE negotiating a final agreement. You bought them at his asking price in the currency he specified. End of story if you ask me.
I would have left as you did! That's bs
also...if you go back and they still have them you should offer 5$ each :P
That gives me stolen goods vibes.
I would've done exactly what you did. And I would never go back there again, even though it's very tempting. He already took your money, it was a done deal and it's not your fault he and his wife didn't communicate. The truth is that he has to live with her and she could've made his life miserable if he went ahead and stuck to the deal😆. I hope you find another great sale and never have to deal with those people again
I would have done the same as you but i would have left my contact info behind in case the wife changed her mind.
I would have left too
Sounds sketchy. I wouldn't go back.
He offered the deal!? You didn't even negotiate down to that price. That is very bad business, he should have honored the agreed on price (that he came up with). I would have left as well.
I would not do business with people who go back on their word
Nope! I would have gotten my money back and left. That's crap. It's the principal of the matter.
I don’t think you had any choice but to say no and leave. Even if the margin would still have been good at $15 cost, it was the principle of the matter. When he backed out u could no longer have faith in them as a seller. I would have walked away as well.
Nope glad u walked away it’s the principle….15 still would have been worth it but that wasn’t the deal
I might pay, and pray they not stolen
I would have walked away.
I would have done the exact same thing.
Left. No deal
U did get your money back right? U didn't say you did you just said you were so mad. Unless I missed it.
Yes, I did!
I would have left also.
Definitely go on back to the sale! They might still have them and be desperate to see you again lol
Sounds like the wife didn't have very good business sense, which is probably why she was selling them off to begin with. She didn't want to do the work, but also didn't want to take "the hit", got nervous and backed out. She also took the cowards way out hiding behind her husband where she doesn't have to deal with you personally. I woulda asked to speak with the wife (in sales talk, the decision maker), the husband was happy to let you load the jackets so he's obviously already ok with it and you got nothing to lose. Perhaps calmly talking over the options might have helped her see sense (i.e. how likely are 100 people to come individually and buy these jackets at full price? how much work will it take to move them if they don't sell? how badly do you need the space?) and remind her why she needs to shift them in the first place. Maybe something like "I can give you $750 right now, you get your space back and don't have to babysit these for days while hundreds of people try them on. They could get damaged, mould etc.". I'm still working at this myself, but there's some stuff in Brian Tracy's 'Advanced Selling Strategies' and Jordan Belfort's 'The Way of the wolf' that would probably make sense in this situation, where there's obvious benefit for both parties to the deal going ahead. Even if it doesn't work out, at least having spoken to wifey, you would be able to gauge what the hell just happened, and perhaps learn something you can use to get a one up the next time this happens. I always try to see how far the rabbit hole goes so I at least learned the lesson fully all the way to the end, if that makes sense.
Also... $1000 CASH??? Why not a bank transfer? Would you commonly make deals that size in cash?
Lesson, do the deal and get out fast.... Depends on how much money I would be leaving on the table and how quick I thought I could sell them. Yes they were being unreasonable and I would have probably said "look, the deal is done, money has changed hands but to keep things civil, I will split the difference and give you $11 per." But you are buying 100 items I assume they alot of duplicates, volume doesnt move all that fast on eBay and Posh especially when your price point is about $30., so you maybe sitting on these for a while.
I think if you take the emotion out of it (which I think any professional buyer would have a problem with these sellers) and did a Cost v Risk v Profit Analysis
Cost (how much is the $1500 is going to affect you, is this a big $ deal for you or is this something you do on a weekly basis) vs Risk (Time to sell, are they fake, are they stolen) vs Profit analysis you would have swallowed the BS and made the deal.
It sounds like they literally stole them from you. You had a deal, he had the money, you had 50%+ loaded already. I would have probably gotten pretty heated then hopefully realized I was on someone else’s property about to do something stupid. Then hopefully I would have calmed down enough to just cancel and leave like you did. I would never go back. Later on I would regret not paying the $15 per too. 😂 I loved the story, and hope I am never in that spot. Thanks Amber!
@@shedflips Lonnie! I swear I was hoping you’d watch this video because I wanted to know what you’d do 😆 thanks for watching. Yeah, I was pissed. Couldn’t believe we got that far in the deal before he talked to his wife.
@@AmberResells you are a good storyteller Amber, I loved it!
@@shedflips FYI: I almost gave you a shoutout in next week’s video because I only knew I was allowed to list a certain type of item because of watching your videos…but I wasn’t sure that you’d want to be credited for this particular knowledge 😆
I think there are a couple caveats, she was at public sale on private property so she wasn't trespassing. At the point the seller pulled the plug on the deal, the property was bought and paid for and legally belonged to Amber. I would have said, you said 750 in cash, I did that, now excuse me while I load my property. Nothing heated, I'm just completing the terms we agreed to.
@@fashionmews6886 In no way did I mean to imply the clothing didn’t belong to Amber. My point was that you never know when a civil issue can turn into a criminal one when it involves money. Will the seller physically assault you to keep you from loading the property? Will the verbal agreement stand good in court? If it doesn’t then we have a case where you are stealing their property and a physical altercation broke out. Way too messy to dig in and “stand on business” imo.
I would have done the same thing. Except I would have called him something I won't say here. And I would have said good freaking luck selling them. I'm pretty hot in the moment. And then I would have been grateful and moved on. I don't stay upset. Buying quantities like that comes with risk. You were assuming sure thing.
