It’s refreshing to see a video on things that haven’t sold, not like every other RUclips seller that just shows the highlights and unfulfilled profits!
Your videos are probably the most educational on youtube! Thank you for talking it straight without painful intros, in video ads. Ebay seller discussion straight from the hip!
That was a great video, as long as the youtuber stays on topic the time length does not matter to me. You always get to the meat and I like that. I get really bored when the meat is 5 minutes and the video is 30 minutes of fluff. You do great and this video was awesome . Seems all we ever see is the successes. It can be a bit depressing when we compare our reality to that. Thank you for doing such an informative honest video
I refer to you as my EBay mentor so I’m always happy when I get notified you have a new video. For me, your length of video is what fits into your schedule. Always happy to watch. Short or long your videos are always top notch
So appreciate your sharing of things that don’t sell. That information is just as valuable as what does sell. Especially knowing I’m not alone in the “I thought it would sell” department.
I appreciate hearing what’s probably not a good item to source. I mostly see videos showing items that are big sellers. However, I have found that to be untrue. What sells for one doesn’t always sell for another.
OMG, you do not come across as fake at all! I only recently found your channel, but I can say I've gained more knowledge from your videos than any of the 100,00K plus YTers out there. I am going to "JOIN" and support your channel today because you have inspired this old man to get back into the eBay game! Keep the vids coming and THANK YOU!!!!!
I just passed on one of the steam irons at the thrift store yesterday and the Stanley a few weeks ago. I looked up comps on both and even when I saw the Stanley's werent selling well it was hard to walk away. Glad I did. Lots of good information. Thanks for what you do.
Loved this video. Liked the longer length. I had suggested to another well know RUclipsr to do the same before I started watching you because we need to see the other side not just always the highest best sales. And on that channel my idea got shut down by one of the channels aggressive moderators and the RUclipsr herself did not even speak on it or intervene. So thanks for listening to feedback in your comments and also if you do start having moderators be careful who you select as some of these mods take their 'jobs' too seriously.
I vote for more of these videos, too. Boy... DO I have some stinkers sitting on our shelves, too. It's a part of the process, we'll always have laggards, but over time we learn and our laggards' lifespan in our inventory should decrease as we learn and share. Thanks for the info! --Marty
I’d never heard of you before I found this video in my feed. Great information and format here. Subbed to see what else you put out. I make my living off of eBay as well, and live to soak up new information and perspectives from those with a realistic/positive outlook.
I feel like 12-16 minutes is a proper video length. Good video. I'd like to hear more of what you avoid. I've been focusing on good sell through rate items only. Just so it moves
We have one of those green Stanley thermos that you are showing there. I love it! It's so funny when we pull it out during football games or my kids games. It's like people forget those things exist! We put hot chocolate in it.
This was my first video from you. I just went to full time selling 30 days ago as I was making more doing this on the side than working a 9-5 I’m nervous but so far the deals are coming and cash is still flowing I’ll keep the stuff you mentioned in mind especially camera lenses.
Thanks for the candidness. It sucks when I sell nothing like right now, and makes me wonder why I bother, then I’ll have a lot of great sales. It’s tough sometimes and def the nature of the beast.
Oh they do if you look behind them...Most of them are hoarders. That's why jake is so great...he's all about STR. The $$$ is in the churns. That is the secret of all retail stores.
I bought a bunch of garbage in February, March and April that became "oops, I shouldn't have bought that" items. I had not yet figured out how to calculate sell-through rate. Also, like you, had a few things that I sold well at first, then just stopped. Thank you for sharing.
Five minutes was great keep out the fillers and the repetitive stories thank you so much. This is my favorite RUclips channel on one of the learners, and I have been working hard this summer to learn about what things to pick up how to fix my listings and other platforms thank you so much would rather have more five minutes videos and frequently
It's frustrating to pick something up a with a great sell thru rate and then it doesnt sell for me except at a discounted price. The moment passes! Ya just can't always read the minds of the potential customers. I like your 10 minute videos best up to 30 min. 5 min is too short...unless its a "short." 😊 I heard your question on Kat's channel the other day. I dont think they actually understood the question. Thanks for talking about your fails!
I would say at this point, unless you are OK making 2-3x mark-ups...everything in a typical Thrift Store is an avoid. These places have caught on. In my area they mark any decent named brand clothing item from 11.49 to as high as 79. Most shirts start at $11.49. Most would barely bring $20. Even at half off you are maybe going to 2x your money. Doable but a huge investment sitting. I think their goal is to simply replace resellers. Once they catch onto the rest of their store its over folks...
Really enjoy your insights and candor. Just started reselling this year and I've got a "dumb pile" that reminds me every day to pick smarter. However I need new stuff to list, so do the best I can. Today was a grind. Got some so so stuff and just cross my fingers. Recently promoted my entire store and sales have picked up. Thanks again!
@JrideFlips ashamed to admit that I went the whole 12.5%. Had an entire week with zero sales and panicked. It only runs 30 days, but sales and offers sent all day long.
I also have all but about 5 items at 2.6% and have had no sells for a week now and just intermittent offers. I have a variety of items in my store, but probably 60% are clothes. I’m trying to back away from clothes and be more selective, but my clothes finds are $1 each at the consignment store I frequent.
Thank you for another great video. I really appreciate your honesty, and can relate to the Jumanji game and assuming that everything in a certain brand will sell. Not all Levis jeans and SuperDry products have a great sellthrough rate.
I've also noticed that demand, and values on certain items tends to fluctuate (sometimes frequently) Sometimes items will sell for big money, almost as soon as you list them. Other times, not so much. I think there are a lot of variables that influence this... too much supply, current trends, seasonal changes, and just simple timing (finding the right buyer at the right time). I've had pretty good luck with electronics, as well, although some things can be hard to sell, depending on what they are (heavy items with expensive shipping, for example). Ive also had good luck selling random, hard to find, and discontinued items.
When it comes to older golf clubs look for 7 woods, 1 driving irons, wedges, and putters. Any wedge over 60* loft is good to. These usually have some value. Golf clubs my favorite category. Just wanted to say I watched your video on sunglasses. Recently found 2 pair of Oakley’s. Both sold the same day! I never even looked at sunglasses until I watched your video.
Great Video! I'm can watch up to 10min but some resellers are posting 30min video's and I just don't have the time to sit through all the content which is a shame. I have few that offer enough BOLO that are outside my knowledge that I will sit through. I actually just took a truck load of slow movers back to goodwill because I just got tired of looking at them and needed to declutter. I also had someone give me about 3k paperback romance novels and while they would be pure-profit I'm just overwhelmed at the thought of trying to list them all.
Thanks for another great video. I meant to ask on your previous video about sourcing through ebay. Do you also source through what not as well it seems like there would be good opportunities there as well
All we can go is learn fron our mistakes. Myself I bought a few bundles of third party controllers and OEM Nintendo wheels. The wheels would sell most times it's with a copy of Mario Kart Wii which isn't cheap. The other controllers that sold quick were all Xbox One but non were tested vs the PS3 controllers have just sat and those are all fully tested and work great. That is the worst part when you buy an item that isn't price or seasonal sensitive so you truly don't know what to do to fix it.
Those blank burnable CDs do well on Amazon. Sometimes it's the market you are trying to sell it to. eBay is weird like that. I would tell you this, depends on what you are trying to do. Picking up selling things for the future is just as important as picking up things to sell right now. It's a mind set. You know what will eventually sell and that's great advice already. Most people doing this need to know that it's not instant money. It's slow growth that's heavily rewarded on ebay. Amazon it's pretty opposite. If you have the goods and list it all right away you'll almost always do better. Ebay is not. If you list everything day one, you'll get one pump and it'll keep decreasing even if you do another big lot of entries.
I give an item about 1.5 years to sell with multiple "sell similar" refreshes. If it doesnt sell by that time, i do a batch of writeoffs and clear it out. It helps mentally to get rid of these mistakes, and frees up space too.
I like the longer videos...have you done any research on the best time to release your scheduled listings? just assume it's eastern time in the morning for them to get up and see them or does anybody know numbers? I looked on RUclips College didn't see too much regarding that topic.... we do know eBay's busiest from 4 to 9 in the evening but is that when we should release the listings?
I don’t think it has a positive or negative affect either way. I would say to post at the same time everyday however for increased consistency in your business or side hustle
Hi Great video thanks for the info…… How do you build an EBay store??? How much did it cost you before you started making money “profit” on EBay???? Thanks for your help All the best
I made profit my first week. Sell things that cost a dollar or things around the house and you’ll be immediately profitable. I work 14 hours a day for 18 months to build my store to 2500 items now I just work 3 hours a day on eBay
Hey I noticed your Ebay's about me has a typo near the beginning "Out top categories...". I know it's inconsequential but I noticed it and couldn't not let you know.
Another item the Thrifts are onto. Ridiculous prices. I wear the cheapest jeans you could buy...Wranglers "rustlers" brand...new at Walmart these are like $2 more than what the Thrifts list them at.
@@markevans7937 I do a lot of activewear for men. Jeans are def over priced at thrifts near me. I have a couple places that do $1 and $2 days so if I found something I’ll get it then. So if they do sit it isn’t that big of a deal.
I watch videos that are short, to the point, and informative. I get bored after a minute by RUclipsrs whose videos are shopping for items to sell. Those videos were the most misleading when I first started reselling two years ago.
Yeah just watching this video, a lot of the issues you have would be resolved my comping them. Dymo label printers are usually worthless, except obviously the shipping label ones and the special ones like the Rhino product line of dymos and the ones that connect to your PC are worth the most. Outside of those I mentioned, dymo label makers are crap, pretty much any label makers are worthless. But you now know that, but your issue is pretty easy to resolve. No more blind buying :)
A little confused on the steam iron. You said you sold one the same day for 70 bucks, but then you started buying the same ones and found out they were walmart brands not worth much? So the first one you sold was only worth 30 bucks and you sold it for 70? Or you saying you sold a different model of that brand that was worth more than the others you bought? Also, wouldnt looking up the comps before buying them up resolve this issue before having backup inventory of cheap steamers?
I go through my listings once a month.. the items not selling get a price drop. 2 things happen, the item moves to the top and 2 they generally sell. You’re still making money just not what you wanted..
I got an email from Stanley to take out my listing on Ebay unless I'm licensed with them and it's not a VERO. I ignored them and it sold but I'll probably won't list them again because I don't want to get sued.
Occasionally I enjoy long form content but in general maybe I have ADD but I find it hard to watch content past about 10 minutes unless it's extremely riveting or engaging.
@@JrideFlips I'd say about a 7.5 , interesting topic not too dense it was really palatable a little fluff in-between subjects pacing felt good. That being said that is the opinion of one person, I just caution about morphing your content too much based on individual feedback. I think in general I prefer 5-10 minute video for casual viewing and maybe 15-20 on in-depth topics.
I am trying to find a payment system to use to get paid people say Zelle I hate Facebook marketplace people get shot at and jacked that was today in florida
I personally appreciate short videos. I’ll come across someone’s video that I would like to watch (any topic, not just reselling) but if it’s 20 minutes or more, I pass. I have too much to do do waste 30, 45, or 60 minutes on a video.
@@linall2345 I’m making $20,000 a month. Don’t listen to them. It’s always loud during the summer. Work hard everyday, learn and be better everyday and you’ll be fine
We only want the Rowenta irons made in Germany. The ones from other countries are crap. Sell the good ones, say where they are made, and donate the others.
I like the longer videos because I’m learning so much from you. I appreciate you teaching us so patiently.
Glad you like them!
It’s refreshing to see a video on things that haven’t sold, not like every other RUclips seller that just shows the highlights and unfulfilled profits!

Agree. Whatever length of video you do is fine with me.
I grew up with my dad having a stanley thermos (which he still uses and im 40 now). They will always have a happy place of nostalgia in my heart
I love them!

Thank you so much. I love learning. And the length of the video was fine. I appreciate knowing I am not the only one with slow sales.

I like listening to your longer videos sometimes when I am listing or doing photos. So I don't mind any length video. Love the content :)
Thanks for your videos and your positive encouragement!! It helps!! From a newbie!
Time of video doesn’t matter to me; it’s the content. You always have helpful information and are super humble which equals great content!
this was a great idea for a video. id love to see more like this.
I’d never heard of you before I found this video in my feed. Great information and format here. Subbed to see what else you put out. I make my living off of eBay as well, and live to soak up new information and perspectives from those with a realistic/positive outlook.
Glad you found the channel! I hope you enjoy!
Omg was it me who left a comment on The One Foot Flippers video? I've been dying to see more videos like this!
Time length isn’t an issue when the information is good. I’ve had a good June an a better July.
I love to hear that! Keep that rolling!
Thanks. Ten minutes is short and sweet with great information.
Glad it was helpful! That’s for answering my question!
Hello, as promised I finally came over from one foot flipper and subscribed. Look forward to watching your content.
Thank you sir!

Love the Stanley’s… nice, tall & thin, but the Ollie’s are so much better.
They’re just way bigger…

Hey. I just wanted to say thank you. Your videos have been helpful and enjoyable to watch. Keep up the good work!
Glad you like them! Thank you!
Right on.. Great that you show the slow movers.. No one does that.
Hopefully this starts a trend

The pizzelle maker will sell closer to the holidays as many only make pizzelles for Christmas. Sometimes Easter or wedding but definitely Christmas.
Good point!
Thanks for explaining what it was. I thought it was some kind of waffle iron, but he didn't say....
Really enjoy your insights and candor. Just started reselling this year and I've got a "dumb pile" that reminds me every day to pick smarter. However I need new stuff to list, so do the best I can. Today was a grind. Got some so so stuff and just cross my fingers. Recently promoted my entire store and sales have picked up.
Thanks again!
What rate did you start with?
@JrideFlips ashamed to admit that I went the whole 12.5%. Had an entire week with zero sales and panicked. It only runs 30 days, but sales and offers sent all day long.
@@Dougsdealin whatever works for yah! I promote my store at 2.6% across the board

Yes to all of the questions asked
What is your process/decision when items are listed for over 100 days or 365 days or 3 years??
I discount items at 15% after 45 days and continue discounting 5% every 45 days it’s still there
I go through my listings once a month.. the items not selling get a price drop. 2 things happen, the item moves to the top and 2 they generally sell. You’re still making money just not what you wanted..
Thank you!!!
I got an email from Stanley to take out my listing on Ebay unless I'm licensed with them and it's not a VERO. I ignored them and it sold but I'll probably won't list them again because I don't want to get sued.
I just sold a cafe cocoa today. So at least one of your competing listings is gone 😊
We can't sell 2nd hand electronics in Australia without getting a safety certificate first.
What's the sweet spot of how many items listed on your store is it 300 to 500 nice video
I have 2500 it depends how much mouth room you have. How many you want to list each day, how many items you can acquire lately
@@JrideFlips wow that's incredible I've got 175 listed lol I need to get more inventory 😂
@@featherstonehobbies my personal favorite for a part timer is 1000 items
@JrideFlips right so for part time I need approximately 1000 items listed wow that's mind blowing 🤯

Perfect but more is better
Amazon's the platform that will not let you sell new branded parts without a invoice from the brand owner or distributor
I like longer videos!
Roger that!
10 minutes is a nice length video for me.
Occasionally I enjoy long form content but in general maybe I have ADD but I find it hard to watch content past about 10 minutes unless it's extremely riveting or engaging.
On a rage of extremely riveting and engaging where did this fall 1-10? Be as honest as possible if you could😊
@@JrideFlips I'd say about a 7.5 , interesting topic not too dense it was really palatable a little fluff in-between subjects pacing felt good. That being said that is the opinion of one person, I just caution about morphing your content too much based on individual feedback. I think in general I prefer 5-10 minute video for casual viewing and maybe 15-20 on in-depth topics.
@@Malkuthe thanks for the feedback!
I'm so lucky to still be hitting 2k+ a month
Do u sell much internationally
this video could not have come at a better time.
There is an eBay war brewing behind the scenes rn. I hope this is a positive video
I am trying to find a payment system to use to get paid people say Zelle I hate Facebook marketplace people get shot at and jacked that was today in florida
I try and convince my wife that 5 minutes is plenty long enough, she doesn't buy it 😂
I personally appreciate short videos. I’ll come across someone’s video that I would like to watch (any topic, not just reselling) but if it’s 20 minutes or more, I pass. I have too much to do do waste 30, 45, or 60 minutes on a video.
I just started selling on eBay 2 months ago. Probably not the best time to start. 🤦♀️
You started at a great time! Mid summer sales are slower so you won’t have high expectations. Keep rolling and this’ll be a great gig for you
@@JrideFlips Thank you for the encouragement. I’m getting a bit scared with all the videos of how bad eBay is right now.
@@linall2345 I’m making $20,000 a month. Don’t listen to them. It’s always loud during the summer. Work hard everyday, learn and be better everyday and you’ll be fine
@@JrideFlips thank you for the encouragement! I am all in at this point and enjoying it. I’ve had some sales the last few days so that helps.
We only want the Rowenta irons made in Germany. The ones from other countries are crap. Sell the good ones, say where they are made, and donate the others.
It doesn't stand for cd rom..it stands for cd recordable.
Thanks 😊
@JrideFlips The CDR can be recorded on once, to re-record on one you'd need the cd-rw which stands for cd re-writable.
