    Quick tip for everyone reselling at Ross, ask an employee what days they restock or get new shipments on. You'll be the first to get all the best stuff if you go in that day or day after. This isn't even from a seller (yet) just someone who likes shopping there. Mine usually restocks Tuesdays 👍 Totally will save you the hassle of going store to store.

      Damien Gomez my Ross gets a truck every day mon-fri and roughly about 250-300 total pairs of shoes (men’s,women’s,kids) they have all the shoes out between 12:30-3:00

      Damien Gomez I worked at Ross for more than 5 years. We get shipments everyday except sundays. BUT still definitely make friends with the employees because sometimes we get in trucks but don’t have employees to run out the items. And usually when customers ask “do you have it in the back?” We say no because the items haven’t been processed for floor or we don’t have time to drop what we’re doing to go on a wild goose chase in the HUGE stockroom. But this one dude who resold our shoes would ask me if we got anything new in and I’d be more than happy to go check for him cause he was always pleasant (very welcome in retail). And once he found a pair of Nikes that had no price and I told him find another pair of Nikes and I’ll give him that price. He found some kid’s pair for like $10. I honored that price. ALWAYS BE NICE TO PEOPLE IN RETAIL. It goes a long way in getting what you want.

      Glen Atchison that’s not a pro tip. It would be much better to start at stores near your house and go from there. If you start at the one farthest from you you will waist time driving there, but if you start with the one near you and slow drive to the farthest one as you shop you won’t waste any shopping time.

    @Truen091 6 лет назад +451

    I work in the stock room at Ross and I tag the shoes that you see. Trust, Anything worth buying or selling doesn’t make it to the floor. Employees scoop it at 20% off Ross price or 40% off every 4 months. Oh and when something goes on clearance whoever’s doing markdowns scoops it at 20% off the clearance price as soon as they mark it. My advice to you is get a job at Ross so that you get first dibs, discounts and don’t have to waste time and gas goin to other stores.

    • @chriss.8582
      @chriss.8582 6 лет назад +114

      Not true dude, I scoop up highly profitable items from Ross stores regularly, in almost every department. I also do it in this guy's backyard, so apparently you guys miss enough items in the back to keep both of us making money. Keep up the stellar work.

    • @Truen091
      @Truen091 6 лет назад +74

      Timothy Crouch I agree with you. But, the main point I’m trying to make is that the guy in the video is misleading people with HIS shoe flipping business model. First his profit margins are too slim to account for gas ,other vehicle wear and tear, shoe consistency, online seller costs and time. Bottom line: the only gain in his method is in the form of views and subscriptions on his RUclips channel.

    • @Truen091
      @Truen091 6 лет назад +55

      tgo007 I work in Northern California at the highest volume store in the area out of about 20 stores that are on our truck routes. I process every shoe that touches the floor Mon-Sat(no truck on Sunday)at an average of 500 shoes a day. So I can tell you that without a doubt, even with first dibs, and 20-40% MORE profit margin than the guy in the video(due to my discount), I’m only making about $72 a week extra flipping shoes. That average was taken over the course of a year. So yeah flipping Ross shoes at its highest level is not self sustaining which is why I’m in school. Hope this helped.

    • @Truen091
      @Truen091 6 лет назад +42

      Timothy Crouch First, I never complained about anything. Second, how is getting 40% off of the very thing you’re trying to flip a downside? For example, why do you think the USA outsources jobs to China? Because they pay less for product hence an increase in profit margin. I can break it down further: you buy a shoe for $4 , sell it for $10 and make six dollars. I buy the same shoe for $1, sell it for $10 and make nine dollars. Logic....

      That's because no one doing this as a "side hustle" makes bank. This video is just hype for views cuz everyone wants to make easy money. After gas, effort, selling fees, shipping, promotion... People are making 5-10 bucks on something they invested 60 bucks in, it's just that no one wants to admit that. Real return is making at least double what you paid. Sure 5-10 bucks profit isn't horrible, but when you calculate everything you've done to get it, it's like being paid 7 bucks an hour if that.

    FYI when searching eBay for your ‘market analysis’ if you put the design or model number in the search field it will only pull up items that also have those in the title/subject field as well. To pull up more matching items go to ‘filters’ and turn on ‘search in description’ then the items that have your model number in the details and/or extended description field will also show. Then I would sort them price low to high so you can see around what you would place your starting price

    Sometimes Costco can be a good source. I know Because I work for Costco. Example. We have khombu sandals marked down to $4.97 Reasons for Mark downs on products vary. Could be different didn't sell or need to make room for something else. Or manufacturer could be redesigning the packaging. It's hit or miss and each store is going to be different.

  • @atthewt3243
    @atthewt3243 6 лет назад +122

    Heads up to new buyers....EVERYONE knows Ross, Marshalls, etc sells cheaper shoes...and the same shoes get sold at tons of stores, so the asking price on Ebay for them plunges very quickly. Pretty easy to end up with a ton of shoes that you'd be happy to unload after 2 months at cost. You'll find a couple winners, but when only 3-4 pair sell nationwide in a month....you're better off at yard sales and thrifts.

    • @SideHustleNetwork
      @SideHustleNetwork  6 лет назад +26

      Yep, same goes for any retail/online arbitrage product as well. This is why I like to play the quick flip game. Get in, sell, get out. Everyone runs a different biz model.

    • @atthewt3243
      @atthewt3243 6 лет назад +14

      Absolutely. It's a ton of work hustling from store to store, and I respect the hell out of you. Cleats and spikes can be very seasonal though, so it's tough to do a turn-and-burn on them. Definitely not dissing your video though. I admit, we make a killing on shoes, but I will also admit, that's it's gotten super competitive, compared to even 5 years ago.

    • @tonystark19631
      @tonystark19631 6 лет назад +4

      That's the inherent problem with this model, you're buying out of season/closeouts/non-sells and hoping a sucker doesn't live within 20 miles of a Ross/TJMaxx/Burlington who could have just bought them himself.

    I purchased an addidas pair for $30 and sold them in 2 days for $60 and had the buyer pay for shipping. This video got me started on this about a year ago. I recommend new flippers to beware of buying too many shoes and try to get a few and sell them then go for more. I had an overstock for a while and it was too much to keep up with.

If your not shopping for personal it's not worth traveling multiple stores to stock inventory, try ordering direct and shipped.

You always have pleasant memories of the risks that pay off, but that also leads to you taking a lot of risks, losing, and then sitting on some item that just pisses you off every time you look at it for months/years.
