You have a 60 yo senior female fan. I appreciate your forthright and focused videos about reselling. I am a full time teacher and part time reseller (3 years), and I have learned so much from you. Thank you and please keep producing more videos sharing your expanding knowledge.
If you ever have space for one, the floor models do a better job of steaming, which I find saves enough time to add up over a pile of clothing. The nozzle and the hose are lightweight and small, so you can easily snake them up and inside the clothing, and steaming from the inside out does a better job for some reason.
I went 6 years on ink, cutting and taping, without a thermal printer. Then found a used rollo and I can safely say I should have bought it 6 years sooner haha
I think you should put these items in your info area so people like me can purchase these items while you get paid for the referral. I have no idea how to do it. I just want to support you because you are helping me with your videos. Thank you. PS. For now I’ll buy you a coffee.
I'd like to add the tool known as a coin. I place it next to stains on my clothing and take a picture to give the prospective customer an idea what size the stain is. I'm afraid I have had to use this tool too many times ! 😥😥😥
I bought a Samsung laser printer for $50 4 years ago, refill with generic toner from Amazon for $40 a year, buy 6x4 labels from the Dollar Tree (20 for $1). With a Rollo you can only print labels. I print labels, packing slips, and tax copies all on he same printer. Never going back.
I just keep my old inkjet around to print the other stuff. The Rolo is faster, easier, still cheaper. If the inkjet works for you then yeah, no need to change up.
I worked at a copier sales/repair place and I bought a black only laser printer for about $50 and use it for everything, I even create packaging for my handmade goods on it using colored cardstock. (Being sure to buy a model with a bypass tray for heavy papers) I buy knock-off high yield toner on eBay (2pk). ***I totally agree to ditch the inkjet!*** That ink is crazy expensive, like high-end perfume crazy expensive! Also, nearly all name brand copier has Sharp parts under the hood. Essentially, every copier is made in China.
Bick 4 for cleaning and conditioning shoes - If they are really dirty Saddle soap then Bick 4 >> it makes them shine and hides scratches too. pit in the description hat all come pre conditioned and ready to wear.
My bf got me a jiffy steamer and I was so mad because to me, it was expensive. Today it’s so worth it! I don’t have the room either, but I don’t care lol! The ease and quickness is unbelievable. Not to mention it holds over half gallon of water at a time.
I have a Windmere Clothes Shaver that is electric with a really long cord and I love it. I have used small battery operated ones in the past and am spoiled now that I have a big heavy duty electric one. For blankets and quilts it does a fantastic job. I am buying a thermal label printer today - thank you for driving that home.
Today I said I need a thermal printer! Today! I didn’t say “why am I still doing this weird behavior?” But I did say “I think I just used my 8 millionth mile of tape “. That’s when it occurred to me that I need a thermal printer. Thank you for reaffirming this decision
My wife taught me that a steamer, in most situations, is unnecessary. I hardly believed her when she told me but I'll be damned if it's not true. It amazed me when I first tried it. With a spray bottle, spray a fine spritz or two of room temp water over the wrinkly area and let it sit for a moment and that should do it. Use more water if needed, and you might have to gently pull this way or that to help a stubborn spot. It will definitely wet your clothes and they will have to dry a bit but the same with the steamer. I haven't tried it on every single fabric or every single wrinkle, but it has worked for me in every everyday situations and she
Wow I had no freaking clue ups offered thermal paper cool. I wish usps did. I just got a thermal printer and holy crap omg so stupid I ordered the wrong thermal printer on Amazon and have to return it bc it’s tiny and the paper I ordered does not fit inside so I’m returning it tomorrow. I use a de-piller for so much stuff and of course the sticker rolled things. I might just invest in the rollo. Good to know a back loading is where it’s at. Thanks, Joy
i have a used Zebra 2844 thermal printer that I bought on ebay about 5 years ago. I've printed over 6500 labels. I buy the rolls of label for it but it doesn't cost that much. I love it. Best investment ever.
Printing and taping on a label isn’t stupid every one has to start somewhere. A person just getting started has to use the tools that they have until they can buy better.
I’m so happy that your channel is growing because your awesome. Btw you can expect a “cup of coffee” from me very soon (Wednesday). Your printout list of EBay top brands was so well done. Me and my sister marveled how much truly awesome information as well as work you put into it, BRAVO. thanks for all you do!
@@ThriftALife Hey I just brewed that coffee for ya! Haha I’m so proud I even did it on the day I said I would. Now that means something, huh? I just wanted to show my appreciation.
Love the videos, as always. Just set up my thermal printer today, and picked up at steamer at GW last week; $5, so we will see how my patience wears on that one. Thank YOU, again, for the great content/advice, and dry humor. Much appreciated!!
I'm going through a whole ink cartridge and only getting 30 labels maximum 😖 thermal printer is definitely needed, that's my epiphany of the day. Thanks for the reaffirmation.
The box cutter that you paid a dollar for can be shaved into around 1/3 of the price. If you have a harbor freight in your area, or even possibly order them online, they are $.39 each and occasionally on sale for even less. The lint rollers (at the end of the season, not exactly sure which season, I apologize), but at the Dollar General I picked up some of the lint rollers at 75% off, so they were a quarter each and I bought everyone they had. 😃
I love the sweater shaver so many clothes I never touched, after one use and how easy it moves around. Also good for inside of hoodies, and women's clothes between the thighs they will start to pill.
I’m confess, I’m still old school with the label printing 😬 but I learned my lesson on the excessive tape use and instead use the clear adhesive label packing list/label loaders instead. It’s my understanding that you can even get them free from UPS but I ended up ordering some from Amazon when both USPS & UPS were out of many free shipping supplies during the pandemic. Those label loaders have been a HUGE savings over using packing tape to adhere the address labels.
Thanks for another good video. You've sold me on the label printer. I was trying to make myself wait until it was absolutely necessary but I wasn't really considering and, for my printer, it's not cheap. I have one of those stand up steamers and I love it. I really can't imagine holding the tank in my hand like you do but I picked mine up cheap at an estate sale. Even at $100 it would be worth it, though. They have lint rollers in 2 packs at the dollar store, too. I don't know how I could live without that place.
How does that Rollo Printer work with Poshmark labels printing out the mailing label plus the Order information? I use an 8 & 1/2" x 11" paper to print Poshmark labels. It looks like the Rollo is designed to print on 4" x 6" label paper.
Its like an "infomercial" ... that is high praise. lol. I have never used a cleaner on shoes. I just use dish detergent and off brand magic erasers. They seam to work great. Thanks for the video!
I bought multiple thermal printers and the labels looked great but THEY WOULD NOT SCAN! Every time I took them to the post office they could never scan them. I messed with the settings for weeks to no avail. I went back to my ink jet. Never had an issue getting labels scanned...
Love my Rollo. Also have a Dymo that I use for Amazon. But the Rollo is excellent. I take it on the road with me and beat it to death and it just keeps going. Tailors Tape is a must (tape measure) flexible, small, easy to take a collar to cuff measurement bending it around the shoulder. I use a seam ripper once In a while and I cut out shoulder pads if needed. Needle and thread to tights button holes when needed or to see on a button. And everything goes in a poly bag as soon as it’s listed. So a good supply of clear polybags is a must for me. Also for suits or high end clothes I wrap in tissue paper. It impresses the customer. Especially when I’m selling a ladies evening jacket for $100-200. Presentation is important. Good vid. You do a great service.
I knocked my Rollo off WHILE it was printing and it didn't even mess up those labels I used an inkjet for 5 years at least... I wish I would have bought a Rollo much earlier
First they took away our paper bags to save the trees,Then they took away the plastic bags to save the trees,now you don’t have any bags.See where this is going?
Such a great feeling when you are finally able to get your vaccination. I just got my first last Monday. No issues at all, not even a sore arm. Be sure to hydrate!
So say you get five orders, even with them categorized to each bin by number there is alot of time digging, is it at this scale or probably before that someone would hire an employee?
Always good stuff Matt ! And ALL this stuff including the chair, camera, lighting and even the room you're in should SHOULD be a write off for taxes . . . cool beans ! I'm savin' this one . . . 👊
Thanks Matt, just ordered the shoe cleaning solution. Congrats on getting your vaccine appt! My second shot of the Moderna is on the 24th. I’ve had to keep working my full time job so I have been thrifting through most of this but it is always on my mind.
Me too. I followed the advice and You Tube expertise of College Picker and got a cheap thermal printer and configured it for Mac following his steps. Best thing I've ever done for my reselling biz.
Great advice Matt! Btw Loved the live with BOB buys. You are so funny and I'm glad to see you're prospering. Don't forget to put in your amazon links 😉 for this video. Gotta get that house. 😜
I remember when The Rolling Stones wouldn’t sell their songs for commercials, but now! And it’s not like they need rent money! You need a place where it doesn’t look like you are going to be swallowed up by your inventory bins. Yeah, you absolutely NEED tromp l’oeil, or some such shit behind you. A RUclips reseller essential.
Great video. The Ikea bags are really incredible and so amazing that my Ikea is sold out of them. I got mine on Amazon. If you all have a kid going to college...but them. The ones with the zipper. You'll thank me later.
Excellent video. I have all these tools except the printer. I refuse. My paper and tape labels are so good now they're practically indistinguishable.😂😂😂
Great video thank you will be looking into getting all those things for sure as for the vaccine I’ve got ivermectin the horse kind sooo not much worry about COVID
Asking anyone reading this what is a good Thermal printer that doesn't cost a ton of money? Any thermal printers to definitely stay away from? Also hand steamer same questions. Thanks
Can you please provide a link to the thermal printer and the roll of labels that you purchase? I am seriously considering switching to this kind of printer. I am just a part-time seller though. Do you think it's still worth it for me? I ship about 20 items a week.
Found a brand new steamer at a thrift store on vacation. Glad I didn’t pay up for it because it is so bad! If you are pleased with yours, I may search for it online. What is the brand name of what you are using.
How many packages are you shipping daily to make the thermal printer a must have ? Feel like I just got a smack down to just stop resisting and buy one lol
Output varies from day to day. On big volume days it makes a major quality of life difference. At this point I would be annoyed to print out even a single label on inkjet.
Maybe I’ll make it a gift to myself when I get my vaccine in lieu of a lollipop lol. Fellow San diegan btw ✌🏻.maybe I’ll see you out thrifting one day . :)
@@ThriftALife nope. I just checked. Again. They said on instagram a wireless would be out end of Q1 2021 but I think they've been promising that since 1990. I haven't used anything but my cell phone for years. I need wireless. I'm asking them weekly at this point.
For those of you buying packing peanuts and packing tape at Sam's Club, try to price them at a local packaging supply place. And watch the yardage! Some of those rolls are short yardage! My local guy sells all sorts of bulk bags, boxes, etc so much cheaper than any chain.
I keep hearing about thermal printers and haven't made the jump yet. I got my paper for free with the staples rebate and the free small customs envelopes from usps I use to hold the label. I only use $25 per year in toner. How much is it to run a thermal printer?
Hi, Not sure if you answer questions from the comment sections of your videos but I was just curious as to the exact benefits of steaming clothes. Do buyers care enough about wrinkles that it makes it worth my time to steam certain pieces instead of focusing on listing? Are steamers effective at removing certain stains? Just curious, I've been on the fence about getting one as I dont like to add time to the process of listing. Thank you for your videos and your potential future response to this comment. -Ridon P.S. - Thank you for the tip on free UPS thermal labels. I'll be sure to only use them when I ship with UPS. Anything else would be simply unconscionable. I'm sure no one would take advatage of this.
Stains, no, not to my knowledge. It does make a difference in terms of photo quality. A shirt that's all wrinkled to hell looks bad in photos. I steam when I think it's going to cut into my profits. Also, if somebody were to hypothetically store something improperly, like a wool suit, a steamer is nice to have before shipping. I hear.
I learn a lot from your tutorials. However, I print my shipping label out at nearly no cost aside from the electricity. My ink cartridges I bought for $1.00 at the local bins where I pick up a lot of salable items. My paper, I use paper that has already been printed on. O use the side that hasn't been printed on. Yes it takes me approximately 2 minutes to cut out and tape my shipping label. I use the other half of the paper that I cut the shipping label from to supply a note pad. I have a wooden clipboard with a spring clip at the top to hold the paper in place. Short of is I take the few minutes to do this to "Reduce-Reuse-Recycle". You said that the taping of printed shipping labels on the package "looks stupid." Really? I never took you as someone who gave a fuck what people thought. I'll tell you what really looks STUPID. Is the massive amount of trash just tossed around. Like the woman with RUclips video, "Ship with me." She sits there peeling shipping label and producing massive trash. Yeah, that looks stupid. But nothing is going to be done about it so..... Hairy furface tornado said the same thing about cutting and taping shipping labels, "it looks stupid." No, all that trash floating up and down the coast, that looks stupid.

Floor steamers are sooooooo worth it. One of my favorite jobs in retail was steaming all the new clothes before getting them out on the floor.
I bought a Samsung laser printer for $50 4 years ago, refill with generic toner from Amazon for $40 a year, buy 6x4 labels from the Dollar Tree (20 for $1). With a Rollo you can only print labels. I print labels, packing slips, and tax copies all on he same printer. Never going back.

Same. I’m hosed if I ever run into a label that won’t print on the rollo since it’s the only working printer that I own.
10000000000%
So true. I told myself for so long that I didn’t really need it, but it is by far the best investment I’ve made!
I picked a thermal printer picking
Can’t wait to use it

The box cutter that you paid a dollar for can be shaved into around 1/3 of the price.

qr code is the best🙌🏼
What name brand on thermal printer do you recommend? I believe I will need the usb feature since I won’t always be near WiFi. Thanks for your help 👌🏼.
The Rollo. I think they just released a wireless version.
@@ThriftALife nope. I just checked. Again. They said on instagram a wireless would be out end of Q1 2021 but I think they've been promising that since 1990. I haven't used anything but my cell phone for years. I need wireless. I'm asking them weekly at this point.
For those of you buying packing peanuts and packing tape at Sam's Club, try to price them at a local packaging supply place. And watch the yardage! Some of those rolls are short yardage! My local guy sells all sorts of bulk bags, boxes, etc so much cheaper than any chain.
We would love to find a good-quality pilling trimmer. Wal-Mart sold us a POS
Love the “Jaws” reference! Ha! 😂
I keep hearing about thermal printers and haven't made the jump yet. I got my paper for free with the staples rebate and the free small customs envelopes from usps I use to hold the label. I only use $25 per year in toner. How much is it to run a thermal printer?
You just pay for the electricity.
Do you recommend getting a new thermal printer or a used one?
Dunno, the Rolo is the only one I've had and it was new. I think used would be just fine.
I refuse to buy a thermal printer, but thats only because the company that really pays me pays for my ink and paper :)
I love your videos an learn alot and you are a comedian
Thanks Dionne, appreciate that.
Hi,
Not sure if you answer questions from the comment sections of your videos but I was just curious as to the exact benefits of steaming clothes. Do buyers care enough about wrinkles that it makes it worth my time to steam certain pieces instead of focusing on listing? Are steamers effective at removing certain stains? Just curious, I've been on the fence about getting one as I dont like to add time to the process of listing. Thank you for your videos and your potential future response to this comment.

P.S. - Thank you for the tip on free UPS thermal labels. I'll be sure to only use them when I ship with UPS. Anything else would be simply unconscionable. I'm sure no one would take advatage of this.
Stains, no, not to my knowledge. It does make a difference in terms of photo quality. A shirt that's all wrinkled to hell looks bad in photos. I steam when I think it's going to cut into my profits. Also, if somebody were to hypothetically store something improperly, like a wool suit, a steamer is nice to have before shipping. I hear.
I didn’t catch the name of the shoe/ leather cleaner thanks again ehhh
Angelus
SALSA SHARK! Immediate question to self: how many other nerds laughed balls when you made that reference? 11:15
Dude your the best
I heard a quasi Clerks quote! Bunch of savages in this town.
Truthful & useful information....even though I had to google a few of your descriptive words. JK - I can hang with multisyllabic verbiage.
Love my rollo
Yea be careful with that sweater shaver people. I put a hole in a lululemon top..I might have died that night.
I burned the shit out of my arm with a steamer, but I have the one you have now and it does what it needs
Whats the name of that printer again?
I learn a lot from your tutorials. However, I print my shipping label out at nearly no cost aside from the electricity. My ink cartridges I bought for $1.00 at the local bins where I pick up a lot of salable items. My paper, I use paper that has already been printed on. O use the side that hasn't been printed on. Yes it takes me approximately 2 minutes to cut out and tape my shipping label. I use the other half of the paper that I cut the shipping label from to supply a note pad. I have a wooden clipboard with a spring clip at the top to hold the paper in place. Short of is I take the few minutes to do this to "Reduce-Reuse-Recycle". You said that the taping of printed shipping labels on the package "looks stupid." Really? I never took you as someone who gave a fuck what people thought. I'll tell you what really looks STUPID. Is the massive amount of trash just tossed around. Like the woman with RUclips video, "Ship with me." She sits there peeling shipping label and producing massive trash. Yeah, that looks stupid. But nothing is going to be done about it so..... Hairy furface tornado said the same thing about cutting and taping shipping labels, "it looks stupid." No, all that trash floating up and down the coast, that looks stupid.
holy crap
Seems like a lot of work. I usually just drop the price lol
How important is a RUclips channel for a reseller?
Congrats on your vaccine appointment! I just received my second dose. So happy!
