I've been reselling for 2 1/2 years and do my research by watching reseller content every night because I love it! You guys are exciting me! You're bringing something new to the table and I'm here for it. Thank you so much for all your time and effort you're putting into churning out these videos all while running your own business. Love you guys!
Thank you!!! Sean and I just read this comment together and it’s a really awesome feeling for sure to hear this. We’re so grateful for the opportunity to be able to put out this content and appreciate each and every person watching what we put out. Thank you :)
I wish I had someone near me who was so supportive. You are both so lucky that each of you have each other! I will keep reselling and sharing my failures and successes online. Great video!
Thanks so much! And it definitely is one of our greatest strengths: each other. Before Sean joined me and now too, seeing other people share their journey and business online was always a sense of community so I’m so glad you will continue to share yours too. 🫶
Thrifting has provided a nice suppliment in retirement. Thrifting is such a great treasure hunt
I love this! That’s awesome - thrifting and reselling can be a great way to supplement income or even retirement and I love that you commented this :)
Seasoned reseller here. I just want to say a sincere "Thank you ". I've been following you on Instagram and now on You Tube and you both have breathed new life into me. I'm looking at my business in a different light, and approached the bins this week with a new vision. I truly appreciate your encouraging words and information you are sharing with us resellers. Please keep making content!
Peggy! This is such a sweet comment - we both read it just now and feel so grateful that you’re A, following us, and B, felt inspired to leave this comment. It touches us personally because we’ve had so many ups and downs and all around in our years running this business together, and we can only hope to bring a twinge of inspiration and as much of our own personal experience as possible to the community.
A deep thank you for the kind comment, and for being part of our community. We’re so excited to hear about your journey as you double down on your vision for your business :)
You guys are great. I've missed you since I had to take a break from RE due to personal financial issues (reselling business is doing well. It's taking time but every month, my numbers get a little better). I am loving these videos and learn so much from them. I think my favorite part, though, is the way you play off each other. You're such a great team!
Thank you so much Mary! That’s really kind of you to comment - we both send well wishes and are so grateful for you following along on our journey here on RUclips! :)
I can't believe you just started on You Tube, I kept hearing your name from other resellers, but never came across your videos, and boy am I glad I did. The moment I herd you just started, I subscribed immediately. You are very motivating and encouraging. What a pleasure.
Aw this is such a kind comment! Thank you so much :) we’re both so shocked to even hear other resellers talking about us honestly!
Thank you from both of us for watching, commenting and subscribing!!
Another banger! I have always had the interest in starting a small business but my natural talents never seemed to be very easily scalable. Now as a SAHM I have much more constraints on my time but I still have that drive. I was introduced to Poshmark via an Anti MLM content creator who also resells. I was so interested and just so happened to have a ton of decluttering to get done. I love the fact I was able to dip my toes in by using what we already had versus finding a business that needed a lot of time and money investment. I loved it! Then I took the $80 I got from stuff I had and went to Goodwill. I love coming up with systems and running numbers. I love the sourcing! Plus it’s amazing because I can do almost all of the day to day things for reselling with my son, if need be!
I’m so so thankful you guys cover these topics and also helping when someone doesn’t have those high ASP brands. I’m going through and adding tags/keywords after watching your last video! So much wonderful information.
This is one of my favorite comments ever!!! I love to hear the stories behind people's businesses and yours is so awesome :) So glad that our last video was valuable for you and thank you so much for commenting and watching our videos, we appreciate you so much :)
@@TrashPandasThrift awww thank you so much!! Happy to help support/grow the channel any way I can!
I know you guys just did the keywords video, but from a selfish perspective, I’d love to see maybe an overview of some of the creative style/aesthetic tags. Or maybe a run down of some of the aesthetics that aren’t super popular but worth knowing. I found a blog post from Vendoo called “Core Aestehtics & Style Hashtags: Balletcore, Gorpcore, & More”. I think you guys would have a great perspective on an overview of them and maybe giving classic brand examples of a few. Sometimes if it isn’t super obvious, I have such a hard time choosing. But when they listed some common brands or pieces that fit that style it helped me have a starting point. Just an idea! 💪🏻🫶🏻
This is definitely an idea we’ll consider doing a series on! Thank you for the feedback and insight, it’s super valuable to us for sure as we grow the channel and keep uploading :)
"Trash Panda Thrift Training School"
I 2nd that!!! Sign me up! I need to learn more on trends and keywords and I'm having such a hard time researching them. HELP!! 😅
Haha I love this comment 😂 we’re definitely hoping our RUclips channel will end up being a sort of reseller training school - while also building a community of other resellers where we can also learn from and share ideas to grow together!
I first heard about you guys through Cayley Elaine and started following your ig a while back. So excited you guys started a RUclips channel and I’m loving your content so far. Super inspiring, positive and uplifting! Thanks for putting these videos out there❤️
This is such a cool comment! Thanks for following us on IG and for coming along on our journey here on RUclips now :) we appreciate the kind words and are really grateful to have you as part of our community :)

We’re so glad you enjoyed this video! Thanks you so much for watching and congrats on your first 5 stars!!

Thanks so much Shannon! We appreciate you watching and hanging out on our channel with us :) we’re so excited to continue putting out content here
I just started reselling a couple months ago, and you guys are a huge part of my journey! Thanks for the hard work + content:)
I started 2 ish months ago, and I had one week where so many things sold, but since that week it’s just been crickets!! I see this as a learning opportunity though :) thanks for the reassurance that this is normal!
Thank you so much! We’re so grateful to be a part of your journey and that’s so so exciting :) thank you for being a part of our community :)
Oh yes.
Having a good foundation is fundamental.
I asked myself back in 2009 what I would love to do as job. Well I have always loved parting out cars. Well to do that I need a garage snd equipment as well as a location. So I drove OTR for 7 years basically living out of the truck and put a hefty down payment on a house in 2018. Now I was very picky. But its 30 minutes from 4 major cities in mid michigan with a 3/2 stall and ton of free space for inventory. Since 2018 up to this year I have been getting equipment around. I still need a few things but my fleet of things is ready. April was prepping everything, May has been setting up inventory as well as the tax/legal side of things. June is a month of making drafts to build up that bank and fine tune the process as well as finalize any legal/tax things and July 1st is my kickoff.
Now auto parts are my passion. But other finds come along the way so I am always learning.
You pandas will be a great resource as I build this dream into what I know it can be.
First off - what an AMAZING example of what someone can accomplish when putting their full mind and effort towards a goal! We greatly appreciate you sharing your story, it’s really inspirational and so awesome to read what your journey was like and we’re both super excited for you and your launch for July 1st!!
Second, thank you so much for the kind words and comment! We appreciate that greatly, it really means a lot to us for you to take the time to watch and comment on our content :)
Thank you so much! I am really enjoying your content.
I remember I saw you on a platform and thought what a great closet! and I loved your listings and I knew I wanted to watch and learn from you. So, when I saw the name... if that is the same name... I was super excited.
Ya’ll are the best! So happy I came across your channel! I’m a reseller on Poshmark and always looking to learn more! You guys are so knowledgeable and give great tips! Looking forward to seeing more!
Thank you so much! This was a super kind comment and we both really appreciate it :) We’re always looking to learn more too - we love watching other resellers and what their doing. We’re very firm believers in taking as many tools from anywhere you can get them and adding them to your tool belt! Thanks again for the comment and for watching our video we appreciate you :)
thank you for the encouragement...you are a gem of a couple!
Thank you so much! We appreciate that comment tons :)
Thanks for sharing your knowledge and experience in such a positive, encouraging way. Really great video!

Thank you!! Great info !!
Thank you so much for watching and taking the time to comment! We appreciate you :)
Great information and motivation you both give and entertaining .
Im also really enjoying your channel on Whatnot , hopefully soon i will get the courage to sell on there i have to get enough items to show.
Thank you so much for your comment and for being part of our community here and on WN! That means so much to us :) also - I would totally try it! It’s an awesome platform and we LOVE meeting and hanging out with people from all over!
Bethany you are an amazing person ! I met you once at the goodwill outlet, the french girl ;-). I was reticent at first about you and Sean persona, but this channel proves that you are 300% legit. Good video content for sure ;-)
Haha thank you so much! I appreciate that a ton, thanks so much for watching and I’m so glad you enjoyed it!
Great information and wonderful and inspiring content 😊
Thank you for your comment! We appreciate you watching our video and engaging with us here :)
Thnk you for sharing. I live in an area where finding good brands is hard and I am still going. My husband now wants to also get into the game so we will be expanding to other items beyond clothing. You two are so good and I love listening to get inspired. I have been doing reselling for about 18 months. Not a lot of sales and I am good with that because I know I have more to learn and more to do. I look forward to your videos.
Thank you so much for watching and for your comment! That’s so cool that your husband is going to be joining and you guys will be experimenting and learning together :) congrats on your journey so far, definitely excited to hear some updates as you guys grow!
I liked the baseball analogy. It was spot on
Haha Sean says thank you! He’s not hugely into sports but it was a good try lol
Best of luck on yalls youtube adventure 🍀
Thank you so much! We appreciate your comment and you watching :)
2 of my faves ❤
Aw thank you so much! We appreciate your comment and for being part of our youtube community so much :)
Thank you for starting this Channel and thank you for all the information that you've shared on Instagram I learned about you from Cayle Elaine's Channel and I'm so glad I did!!
Thank you so much for commenting and watching! We appreciate the support so much and can’t wait to keep putting our more and more content :)
When I first started I would go to the Salvation army right by my house would go every Wednesday right when they opened it would be half off day... go through the whole store! I loved the dresses and the lingerie my favorite categories, would find so many gold label Victoria secrets and 100% silk items. !! I remeber one of the first times going I found 4 Lululemon jackets! Find all kinds of good stuff everytime I went, leather Frye jacket, Coat nwt coat, so many Wilsons leather coats it waa amazing. Just checking comps and just learning as I went learning all the good brands and most importantly the quality of the items.
This is such an awesome and important comment! That experience of actually doing the thing - sourcing and comping in this example - is so important for growth! Thank you for this comment and for watching our video, we’re really grateful for you :)
Thank you.
You're welcome! And thank you for watching and commenting :)
Never thought of searching solds near my location...now Ive got to figure out where they get all their stuff because it's way better than most of mine!
Also, I've got to stop settling! The ASP is like 50+ on dresses sourced and sold around here
I’m so glad this was valuable for you! And haha yes it’s time to start sleuthing
Totally agree!! Better to take an offer than to list under market for sure
😊
Do you only sell on What Not now? If you list on other platforms, can you provide the links (like ebay and Poshmark)?
Hi! We mostly sell on whatnot and wholesale to other resellers and thrift stores at this point in our business. :)
I post Mercari and eBay listings at the same time of day daily.
Consistency is key! Great comment and input for sure :)
@@TrashPandasThrift I also have several items in my listing draft bank. Will post at the start of holiday weekend!
How did you come up with your business name?
Hi! Haha I love this question. Raccoons are sometimes called “trash pandas” because of the colors and the way they look, and Sean and I thrift through bins, pallets and thrift stores to get our inventory so we came up with trash pandas thrift!
Can I get the link to buy wholesale from you?
Hi! We’re currently at full capacity and are not accepting new clients for our wholesale business. Thank you so much for watching and commenting on our video!
How do you find a whole sale reseller in your area?
Hi! This is an interesting question for sure and hard to answer without a ton of information. Long story short, it’s going to very much so depend on what kind of items you’re looking for, what area you live in, how much your willing to pay for inventory, how many items are you willing to purchase on a weekly/bi-weekly/monthly basis, etc.
You can look on social media using hashtags as one way, and you can also look into local and non-local Facebook groups regarding wholesale. There are quite a few of them out there!
You can also talk to people who may be buying from outlets or rag houses in your area about a potential partnership. So so many ways for sure but will vary greatly depending on many factors.
Thank you for the suggestions!
Why don't you guys provide your store names on eBay, Poshmark etc. I am sure many are curious that a 6 figure store looks like.
Hi there! As we’ve mentioned in previous videos, we stopped selling on most platforms in the middle of 2023 and currently sell mostly on Whatnot as a platform and we also wholesale all of the same items we used to list and sell on the platforms ourselves to other resellers and thrift stores across the country.
Hi Bethany and Sean, is there an email that I can use to reach out to you?
Hi Aleta! We can be reached at trashpandasthrift@gmail.com
@@TrashPandasThrift Appreciate it, thank you! I'll email you shortly
what the heck is "multi six figure"?
Hi! Thank you so much for your comment. Multi-six figure means multiple hundreds of thousands of dollars as opposed to 6 figure which would likely imply $100,000 - $200,000. Last year, as shown in a previous video showing our business tax returns, our business brought in $280,000+ - multi-six figure. :)
