It is supposed to be cheap for people who cannot afford brand new shoes...20 bucks is too much. I like small thrift stores because Goodwill charges too much I think.
He buys shoes... My entire inventory fits in a shoe box :-) I'm a full time RV guy, I envy the storage space Hairy has...yet my shoe box life has pushed my sales higher by cherry picking the best and leaving the low yield volume to others. Props to those who got the stamina to grind it out with volume, but I got limited space and need to make it count.
Great video, I’m a college student and I’ve been flipping iPhones and other devices off Facebook and onto eBay. Great profit with very little work, definitely recommend it to people who want to make an extra buck or two!
Hairy Tornado aka Josh, love how you are so down to earth, open and transparent with all ya do. You are inspiring me to be a successful reseller. Keep up the great work. Thanks again for all ya do
This was actually really interesting to watch. Thank you for being transparent about everything too! Hope to see more of these in future. Definitely subscribing
Damn, i wish more Ebay buyers vlogged. that way i'd know or get a feeling that the Xboxone i might buy wont be 2 bricks and a half melted box of skittles in an xbox 360 box.
Josh! You have inspired me to go out and start sourcing hard goods. It’s something I don’t do very often so I really need to just go out and give it a try. I’m actually listening to your videos right now as I’m thrifting! Ps I think you were one of my first subscribers on my channel, so I thank you for that! I took a break from uploading for a while but now I’m really putting in the effort and it’s been so much fun! Keep with the good videos :)
Hey! I saw your recent video where you picked up that HP ink! Hardgoods are really nice to flip, just takes a bit more knowledge and packing. Best of luck to you!
Same here. Wish I could find some shoes like that for $6.50 in my area Goodwill and other thrift stores usually price shoes at or like $5 below ebay prices.
@@aarong7519 An impossible question to answer. Depends on where you live..how much you have to invest..etc etc..there are many other avenues besides thrift stores to consider. Just look everywhere for things to flip for profit. Best answer I've got..Good luck
I was screaming, "DON'T DO ITTTT" when you picked up the GoVideo Combo! Lol. I've had the same model listed forever and I don't think I'll ever get rid of it! So props to you for not falling victim to buying a combo for the sake of finding one! Also, didn't see if anyone had already mentioned, but I like the packaging editing you did! Looks cool!
Hi there. I have watched a few of your videos but this one has been the best. Not necessarily in what you purchased or what they will sell for but the fact that you included your time and gas expense. So impotent when determining your profits. BTW at time stamp 12:44 I would so have looked at that greenish stand mixer...lol
I can not believe your channel has grown from 10,000 subs to over 300,000 in 2 years 🤯 mind blown. That’s amazing . But your videos are amazing so I see why it has. Keep up the awesome work 🥰
Machelle Ogle I sold on ebay about 20 years ago and did really well. Don't know why I quit. Everything I put up sold. Just started again in September, 2019. Little tougher go but I'm getting there. I retired a couple of years ago and got VERY bored. The extra money isn't bad either.
eBay is not like it used to be. Lots of things have changed. Personally probably wouldn't sell there anymore or on Amazon. eBay likely is still good for some people, myself I mainly don't like the way their policies have changed in practical application.
You seem like a very good dude who knows their stuff and providing overall quality content so...count me in as a new sub. Lookin forward to more thrifting vids! Congrats on reaching 10k. U will be at 20k in no time.
I just stumbled across your channel yesterday and super glad I did! My wife and I also thrift and sell on eBay down here in Charleston, and after seeing your videos she seems to think you’re the upstate version of me! We look for almost all of the same items, but your vids have opened my eyes to other areas I usually would overlook. I also have a “route” system of thrift stores I use on days where my regular work is slow. It’s inspiring to see that you’ve switched to thrifting full time. It’s something I’ve often considered but haven’t gone for just yet. If you ever want to make the trip down I’d be happy to share my route! There’s plenty of them in 20 mile radius!
Love your videos. I just started reselling part time, but it is just so amazing to see transparency. Seeing awesome scores, things that didn't paned out as expected, and bread & butter finds really keeps me motivated and educated. I also like seeing your storage, inventory, and shipping methods. Might feel boring to you, but it's invaluable to folks just getting their feet wet or expanding into new territory. Thank you!
This was a fun watch, Josh. Thanks for sharing your numbers. It really helps to see expected profits off of items sourced! Happy 2020 to you and yours, and I couldn't mean it more when I say HUGE congrats on surpassing 10,000 subscribers at such a rapid pace, man! You're killin' it. :)
Congrats on 10K sir, I applaud you trying to keep plastic bags out of the landfills, I recently purchased and started using an impulse heat sealing machine that allows me to seal items in these bags, it doesn't keep them out of landfills but does add one more use from them.
Sammie Runner great reuse. I use my sealer to reuse bags also that are usually in the free clean boxes I can source. Lol I think I have told about everybody about it. I feel it ups the presentation quite a bit and usually saves me money as well, the trade off with extra time spent is ok for me. I do tend to not use the grocery sacks or anything that looks like a garbage bag. So many other options available including making whatever bags I need from sheets of plastic, bubble wrap, shrink wrap (I tend to use on higher priced games, dvds, and other boxed items), and for more of the unique factor, sheet foam including sill plate foam gasket and after holiday clearance cello wrap (Easter is my favorite with yellows, blues, clear, etc and frilly patterns). Kinda thin so I save for exterior presentation. Hope I maybe gave you an idea that helps. Btw most everything of this I’ve been able to obtain from thrift and dollar stores for less than $2 including my current sealer (the bubble wrap and foam I would use with or without anyhow)
Nice to see a video of bunt singles. sometimes as I watch other resellers it feels like I'm the only one who swings and misses even though I'm sure everyone does. Thanks for sharing.
Great video and great buy on the hairspray! I never thought that used shoes would sell well but I guess if you buy brand names, you are safe. My husband once found a pair of Mephisto leather shoes in a thrift store that were worth 300 bucks new... He kept them because it was his size but if you were to resell them, I am sure you could get at least 150 bucks
First off congrats on the 10k subs. I just discovered your channel a few hours ago and enjoy the videos. I too am in south carolina but rarely get to source in your neck of the woods these days. At the 12:49 mark I see a medi-rub 2000 foot massager. Always a solid $50 item for me and I have sold them for $80+ in the past. Just wanted to point it out in case you were not aware. Keep up the good work.
Cool video. Not sure if it was mentioned but the PS3 Guitar Hero controller needs a separate dongle to connect to the system in order to work. In my experience I rarely come across them. The Xbox 360 does not require the dongle.
I really loved this video- you had me at saying bye, I love you to your dog. Haha ❤❤ Also from here it looks like you made some really good quick decisions- those Birkenstocks are prob worth max what they were charging, and those Sanuks are probably going to make you some decent change.
Really enjoyed your video. Very thorough and informative :) You had me at cost of gas at $2.20 a gallon! I'm in California $3.40 a gallon :( Our Goodwill's are pretty good but getting expensive. Shoes can run from $7.99 - $29.99 I try to only but higher end pcs. in order to make a decent profit. Thank you for sharing.
It sounds mean but I don't intend it to, I'm kinda glad to see some "just okay" finds. I went to about 5 stores and came back with little to talk about. So I'm glad it's not just my local area and will keep looking around.
Josh, I just found your channel and I love it. All the info you give is so nice compared to other channels. I currently have 150 items on my eBay and im also learning I'm buying bad inventory. I wanna get into shoes more. Can't wait for the next video and you gained a new sub
you should have picked up that chicco carseat base. As a mother of 3 and I know plenty of moms that are a fan of their products. That would have been an easy sale
Just curious what you look for in baseball/softball bats. At the 20 min mark or so you were looking at some Eastons that looked good from the video but I know in person, you may see dents or wear that we can't see. Thanks for the content.
Those were just some older models. Some old models can be good though. The best way to learn is just look up every single bat you find until you get a good idea of what sells
Keep an eye out for hobby board games (not talking about mass market Hasbro and Milton Bradley games). Games like Ticket to Ride, Catan, anything by Fantasy Flight Games, etc. They fetch hefty prices on eBay. Often sell for $3 or $4 at goodwill and can vary on ebay between $30 and $60
Our Goodwills here in Miami-Dade county have stopped giving plastic bags entirely. Now I take my reusable bags everywhere even the thrift stores that will give you plastic bag.
"You found me?"
"By accident."
😂😂
I always love a good Mose cameo.
I liked it when you said that you would want to share both your wins and losses.
I've never thought of taking the Golf bags straight to Play it Again for a trade in, good idea. Thanks for sharing.
The Goodwill in my town charge 20+ for used shoes.. It's so annoying...
It is supposed to be cheap for people who cannot afford brand new shoes...20 bucks is too much. I like small thrift stores because Goodwill charges too much I think.
Goodwill has gotten so greedy. I don't like giving them my business.
That’s why I RARELY go on any days but 50% days!
Thats criminal
Try 100 dollars for columbia jackets at the value village in canada...
I dunno why but I find this oddly satisfying to watch
Love the effort with the reusable bags !

I would have picked up that Hamilton Beach milk shake maker. Looked like a newer issue and not a vintage but still. It was a desirable color too.
I totally saw that mixer also!!
I sold a vintage mixer for $99 on eBay
This was actually really interesting to watch. Thank you for being transparent about everything too! Hope to see more of these in future. Definitely subscribing
Thanks Zoe!
Love your videos! Short and to the point. I really like how you explain your thinking behind a decision. That is super helpful.
Most of them are short haha. Thank you! :)
Damn, i wish more Ebay buyers vlogged. that way i'd know or get a feeling that the Xboxone i might buy wont be 2 bricks and a half melted box of skittles in an xbox 360 box.
Great Tip on cutting down the shoe box. I’m always adding packing paper. You the man!

For a short time a few years ago, I worked in a convenience store. Whenever someone came in and bought rolling papers, but no tobacco, we knew why.
Great video! Honest, informative, and useful. Don't be shy with the profits made from sales part...that's really what everyone is waiting for!
That Salvation Army looked like my local Goodwill, only those Reebok’s woulda been $29 and the Birkenstock’s woulda been 39$!
The SA is a lot better than Goodwill in my town too.
Papillio are a ssignificantly cheaper Birk line. Not worth anywhere near real Birkenstock proces. I think he was smart to pass on them.
I love the shipping edits! Very cool! Congrats on 10k subs! Your content is amazing brother
"Hopefully I reach 10K"
Has over 20K..
Damn! Ben a good month I see. :P
It's been crazy man haha
Haha almost 89!!! 👏👍✌
The goodwill by my place literally prices items more than eBay lol like not even kidding. I mean I still find shit they miss but yeah it’s real
JACK M. Same here!
Same here. Wish I could find some shoes like that for $6.50 in my area Goodwill and other thrift stores usually price shoes at or like $5 below ebay prices.
@@thriftforfreedom gross...you don't wear used shoes...or pants. That's straight up nasty.
Goodwill is kinda hit and miss.
Thanks for the play it again sports trade-in tip. Didn't know about that one :)
Yessss! there it is @4:19 "he's super lazy and sleeps in weird positions" 🤗
[The rest of your video is ok too] 🤣🤣🤣
10K! Not too bad for a guy that was thrifting on his lunch break 6 months ago. Congrats Buddy
You know the struggle haha
Hi im new how much can someone make on thrift store arbitrage?
@@aarong7519 An impossible question to answer. Depends on where you live..how much you have to invest..etc etc..there are many other avenues besides thrift stores to consider. Just look everywhere for things to flip for profit. Best answer I've got..Good luck

i never thought to do that with taking finds to play it again sports for better merch. i appreciate your tips so much!!
bro big ups for the reusable bag, really appreciate you being responsible and setting the example
The hoka shoes are pronounced "onay onay" it's weird pronounciation, but they are my favourite running shoes of all time. Great video!
