I have had those $1 profit sales too, but thankfully not too many. Thank you for keeping it real and showing good and bad sales. Makes me feel better sometimes!
Kroger had totes crock style shoes for $1 a piece. I bought the whole cart and sold each for $15 a piece. They took about 6 months to go. I will be keeping my eye open for another
Long Boxes: don’t know about UPS but I now get free Triangular shipping tubes from FedEx, though the average golf putter costs me a couple bucks more then it used to, before the USPS sur-charge. So now my over 22” items go FedEx.
I bought a shoe store out Have about 120 pair of boots to put online paid too much may break even single lady needed money due to death so its ok. I also bought a Small engine part store that closed in the mid 80's probably 2000 new old stock parts made money back in 6 sales on ebay. will take forever to list Learned so much from you Thanks
I love the flipper channel the best. I like being able to see the stuff better plus I can listen to it better when I am busy. I also like the short videos. I like them all but this is my favorite. Sales have been a little slow not finding great things at sales this year. Have a great day thanks Angela
Squishmallows! It was before Christmas so I thought they would fly out of my store. I’ve sold some but still have a lot. Maybe I priced too high but tried to follow other’s pricing, probably need to take another look and make some adjustments. They take up so much space to store and I don’t have a lot of space. 🤦🏻♀️
Bought 300 egg sitter cushions from China. Can't sell as egg sitters (vero) on ebay or Amazon. So just sell them as gel seat cushions on ebay at a lower price and usually pack them loose in a regional A box. I do sell at festivals, so if I need to unload them I can.
I bought several Mr. & Mrs Potato Heads a couple of years ago when they announced a package change, sold a couple early and made my money back but left with many.
Hi Kevin 👋 I have a store and I always have a clearance section usually low cost item's gets people in the door. Love ur content 😄 thanks for sharing 🔆 Stay Safe and Blessed 🙏
I thought it was sad but hilariously funny you said "History Doesn't Change" ... Then again, I live in a state that has forgotten it is a state...We love everything. I was working on my listings for hallmark ornaments from the 1990s during this episode.
I was a viewer that wanted to purchase a t-shirt and cup, I was unable to because you only took PayPal. I’ve tried several times to purchase but always just PayPal ……… ugh! Wasn’t even going to try again but thought I’d give it one last try, and low and behold! I was able to pay with my credit card! Waiting for my purchase now..
I've told my son, whose 23, about how the internet used to work when I was pregnant with him..the loud modem screeching, being kicked offline if someone called your phone.. Heck, I was selling Tandy's at Radio Shack, in 1988! Lol. My first computer experience was in 6th grade, we made pictures that we drew, by entering the DOS commands.. so, basically programming in what... 1984?? Smh. Technology has come a long way...for sure!!
Well, nurse flipper showed us teapots that sell. I went out and bought a bunch of teapots (that were not on her list). Haven’t sold a one - big mea culpa there. Taking up too much space!
Did you research them before you bought? THe nurse flipper always says something in those research videos that not all xxxxx sells and to look things up before buying. I don’t know of any category where all items sell for big bucks. Everything has winners and losers.
@@KristiWilson did you read my comment? I said honestly that not one of the teapots I have for sale was recommended by Kat - mea culpa means “my fault.” Kat’s information is spot on - I just went nutso on the wrong teapots
@@maureenfitzgerald1895 yes. And people read comment and ask questions. It’s a great way to help people learn what to do or not to do. If someone can learn from your mistake, that would be a good thing, yes? Also, lots of new sellers don’t understand why their items don’t sell. I like to help people figure it out. Just tryin. To be helpful to the reseller community. I’ve got a little bit of wisdom to share from my 23 years on eBay. 🤷🏻♀️
My story on retail items. our local store was clearing out their Funkoverse Game of Thrones board games, RRP 29.99 clearing price for just five. IO bought them all and put them in stock for pre-Xams, obviously all stores cleared them and they were on eBay for a little as 9 so i will just sit on them so to gat as much as I can as Xmas gifts. I mean they are quite small so i would expect to get around 25 a pop in December.
AOL - I remember back when we called it: America In Line, due to the slow speed of our dial-up connection and how the computer tied up the house phone line. LOL
Love the videos on both channels. You go through your sales, but also enlighten us with all your knowledge and stories. I go through my sales and I just ramble on about nothing. lol.
"This thing sold for full price, so it probably didn't go to a viewer" - I think Kevin has got us pegged! When you say too many of one thing, I think of Resale Rabbit and the 50,000 Lucky Brand key chains he had. I believe it took him years to unload them at $1 each.
I filled my truck with car, truck repair manuals. Spent way too much and still have most after 3 years. Then did a similar thing with jewelry. Two painful lessons.
I bought 100 plastic divot tools for $0.50. That’s a half penny each. I’m selling them for $1 plus shipping. So it’s less than a $1 profit. Don’t be embarrassed by your connect four pieces 😂
Would anyone know which video is it that first introduce the Enema man. Really want to see the history of this plushy. Just started watching these videos and that plushy is always mentioned.
Thanks for sharing the video and information you always provide I enjoy watching both of the channels I hope you all have a blessed day I will be watching for the next notification
I like the flipper a little bit more. But enjoy the picking channel (love the treasures hunt). It's been a little slow this weekend . Thanks again Kevin!
I just found your channel as I am just getting more into flipping. Thanks for sharing so much helpful info! Question, if shipping an item another method besides USPS flat rate or priority, where do you get other boxes and how do you estimate the shipping? When filling in calculated shipping on ebay listing, I am not sure how much it will weigh once I pack it, nor the dimensions until I pack it. Is there a rule of thumb on this when it is not flat rate or priority? Thanks so much!
Thanks for subbing Debbie. I get my priority boxes (not flat rate) from the post office. I also find many plain boxes for ups packages all over the place and sometimes buy the bigger onces for a buck or two and the big box stores. the small first class boxes I get from supply hut.
Howdy from Texas! I am a beginner, I just subscribed to your Channel and I love it!! Please could you help with Shipping tips? It seems you decide after the sale how to ship your sold items, but doesn’t eBay require us to decide prior to listing it? I am having a hard time with deciding how to ship an item that I am listing. I prefer the buyers to pay fo shipping. While listing something, eBay chooses a shipping amount for me, is it correct? I haven’t made any sale yet and I am afraid to make mistakes when listing 😥.
It's only " correct " if you enter the items weight and dimensions boxed up ready to ship... for beginners I recommend doing calculated shipping on anything over a pound. Anything first class you can just charge like 5.50 and usually will make a buck in the process. After doing it so long you will know what stuff cost to ship
$28 is Priced too low. I've watched and followed many sellers and wondered for the longest time how they were getting the prices they were getting. I was pricing too low. I raised my buy now price and sometimes waited and priced higher when doing a send offer. Every sports jersey I sell when I can find them, now sells better and at a higher price
Hi my friend been watching your show and I learned a lot thanks for your time and help. Was wondering if you worried about getting audited by IRS or have u before? Thanks again take care
I think with the IRS u are guilty until proven innocent that's how it works. Correct me if I'm wrong it's ok. Then u have to spend hundreds of even thousands proving in a court that u innocent if for some reason we're to get a letter in mail saying u owe money supposedly and have to pay lawyers And accountant and etc. That money u don't get back
I'm definitely not doing anything wrong just I can't afford to get audited . Waste of time and money if they audit me for an agent that's new and just want to pick on the small business owners or sole proprietorship
Not all IRS Agents Kno the law or finished studying for this new IRS position it's all complicated formulas or I don't know but it's something they will bypass and try to get quota by just trying get money from small business
do you promote you items on Ebay to get more visibility? LMK i have 41 items at buy it now and have not had (ZERO) SALES IN 2 MONTHS? WHAT AM i DOING WRONG??
Hi how can I just Sponsor a few dollar to donate for your sons cause? I can’t buy anything as I’m from the UK and it’s so expensive to post, & once we get it we have to pay customs on top! A watch strap costing me £60 ended up costing me just under £200! Thanks Kevin, your a brilliant family guy, I thought I’d married the only one 👍👍 mx
I still haven't forgiven Bird for Dr. J. As a young female athlete in 80s I was more of a Lakers girl but loved Dr. J. Surprised Bird didnt get popped in the mouth more. 😎 ...and dont get me started in McHale and Ainge. The latter should have stayed on a baseball field. I would have paid good money to watch Barkley hold Ainge for a pop. This of course was when I was young and immatuture...(I am trying to convince myself of maturity now 😂😂) Thanks, as always for the great content.
Hey just wanted you to know you inspired me to try the youtube thing, I have been reselling for about a year. Can you give me a shoutout to help the channel along. James with thriftin and driftin. Thank you!
That Zube Tube is great. Love the picker channel best, I like seeing all the yards sales there’s none in the UK . I’m not generally a fan of any shorts 🩳. You were the first picker I started watching 🙃

Have you looked them up on Amazon? I get so much more on amazon for stuff like that so you might not lose money if you’re un gated in them.

Overbought license plates once on last day of an estate sale because they were a great deal!
I so love your channel and attitude, also the way you are raising your kids, save a dollar, spend a dollar donate a dollar will teach them compassion.
Thank you so much!
I like items but I love the information you share. Plus you have a great family and you can tell the love all of you have for each other.
I have learned so much from you and your family. Thank you for putting yourself out there for everyone.
When in doubt, part it out. That statement of yours sticks in my mind.
Thanks!! Enjoy the family selling!!
My over purchase: 2022 calendars last fall. They’re still selling slowly believe it or not as craft supplies.

Sales this morning. Ed Hardy Tee sold in less than two hours after posting for $18 in profit. I wish they were all that easy.

The prequel to “Game of Thrones” is coming out around the 20th of August, hopefully that will give you a bump!🤞

That zube tube definitely sold pretty fast for you that’s crazy what a cool find
Small plush bought way too many thanks love your videos and mikes ! Lots great information!
I love seeing Pepper! I lost my cat Frankie last month to renal failure and he looked just like Pepper 😿💔💔
I have way too many beanie's. Specifically the princess Diana bear, and the purple platypus. I just can't seem to get them moving😭
Love the videos on both channels. You go through your sales, but also enlighten us with all your knowledge and stories. I go through my sales and I just ramble on about nothing. lol.

OHHH NOOOO Kevin. I went to your merch to buy your Commonwealth Ikea bag and they are old sold out. Are you going to get more in? SoCal picker, Gail
hopefully
Where do you buy your blue padded envelopes? How much do they break down per unit
I like the flipper a little bit more. But enjoy the picking channel (love the treasures hunt). It's been a little slow this weekend . Thanks again Kevin!
what sold / Item info best part to help me with my reselling.
Always interesting what people will buy.
Trash to cash should start a fundraiser for your internet 😁
Bought a case of 40 leather polish tins for 50 cents a piece. Only sold 2 in 6 months, definitely a bad buy.
