Hi Josh, long time viewer from the UK here. I am currently a university student and was inspired by you guys. Ebay re-selling has helped me so much in university and it feels rewarding. It is harder to do here as I live in a fairly small coastal town, so when I get lucky, I get really lucky. Keep doing what, you're doing! Love from the UK
Updates on Hayley are very much appreciated. Hayley, Mose, Josh - wishing you well. Marie, Penny, John in Iowa.
I like this type of content. Your keeping it real Josh and that is appreciated. Of course, I like seeing what you and Hayley pickup to sell too.
Thumbs Up, as always. 👍
Josh, I just bought one of those neck fans you recommended in a previous video for my husband, who is a USPS mail carrier. He absolutely loved it and all the other mail carriers are so jealous. Thanks for sharing!
HT - Loved this video!! 100% transparent and very detailed. One of my pet peeves is when online sellers on RUclips show their gross profit as if it were Net. Fees, shipping (sometimes you can make a few dollars, but sometimes you lose a few!), sales tax - and finally income tax - really take their toll. If you’re honest about it all, everyone can see what it really looks like.
Glad to see the packing orders videos back! Definitely some of my favorite section of your videos. Remember them back in the old, cramped garage, lol.
Love everything about your channel and I have for a long time now. You guys are just so wonderful! Keep up the great work!! 🎉❤
Loved this video! Great information, I will be linking my eBay to my Pirate today! I love that you are at the point in reselling that you let things go, OMG it stings but getting it gone is the best option. After a period of time, taking up space is just losing more money. Thank you for all the information, ya'll are doing an awesome job!
I live in Michigan and the UPS person I spoke with said they always add one extra inch on all dimensions. I really don't understand why they do that but now when I ship I add one extra inch all the way around and it's worked out fine so far. Love your transparency and connect. Keep it up!
Hello from Canada! Always excited to see a new video from you guys. Thanks for another great vid!
I love to see video of you getting "back to basics" of reselling. A reminder of where you started. "What sold" videos are great to see too.
Getting rid of your dead stock or newly purchased items.
Calling him your preacher is very South Carolina 😂😂😂😂Love it!!
Hey Josh I saw a British reseller use carpet tubes for shipping golf clubs. Think mostly irons as drivers might be to big and he cut them down to size from around 4 meters long. Just head to any carpet shop with roll stock and ask for them I'm sure they will be happy to give them to you for free as it'll cost them to recycle. Hope this helps and saves you $3 a box ...keep up the good content 😋
Great info in this video. Thanks. I watch as many of your videos as possible! Mike.
Good sales
Carpet tubes are usually really heavy and don’t add enough protection to justify the extra shipping expense in my opinion
Congrats on all the sales! Love your videos!
Love your videos and look forward to them and look forward to your whatnot shows.
Every time you open the “X-file,” I’m thinking, “The truth is out there!” 😂
Love this style of video, thanks for sharing. Just nice to see what others are doing and to pick up some tips. I always forget about the padded flat rate envelops! Such a good idea, I was just doing straight priority by weight....🤦♂Going to have to update some of my clothing to padded flat rate shipping (assuming it will fit lol)! Thanks again!
I just did what you did by ending my listings and posting them again and my sales have exploded! Thanx for the reminder to do this.
Fitted hats are harder to move in my experience. Nice sold items. Good idea about dropping prices and relisting to get things out.
Hi Josh, since you’re already losing money on the towels why don’t you just put them in the swag bags for your upcoming convention, that way you might be able to write off the cost of them. You might want to check with fabric stores that sell upholstery fabric for the tubes the fabric is rolled on. Most places just trash them ( they are very thick tubes). You would just have to cut them to size for the golf clubs.
Terrific idea😂❤
The cost is already written off when we bought them, but that’s a good idea
@@HairyTornado I think they'd look great Tie Dyed! Very easy and cheap to do.
@@HairyTornadohey Josh, i just went to your store to buy a couple towels to support, but they’re back up in price. Did i miss the $4 ones?? Thanks in advance 🙏
@@newhampshirenatethats an awesome idea
Way to go Josh!! Thanks for all the tips!! 😊
Josh thanks for this one ! I appreciate you! Hope Hayley is doing well in Honduras! (If i remember right , that's where he mission trip is???) Stay safe stay great and keep up the good work!!!
Great video as always!
Dailey Refinement has been doing Clove WhatNot auctions on the entire years worth of factory returns. Tanked the whole market on resale.
These have been listed for a long time (longer than he has been running that back stock). But yes, that would tank the market
Love the more vlogs keep them coming! I bet you're missing Haley 😢
Morning Josh from the uk the tea towels you could make duvets out of them give it a try no harm trying x
idk why but i'm soo into your reselling videos.
Well thanks 😊
That was nice of you to help out your preacher, and it is nice u r making some $ on those golf items
I’ve had that same issue with UPS shipping. I thought it was UPS, never thought it was an EBay issue. I was on the phone with both and neither (Ebay / UPS) could explain what the problem was. So frustrating!
Josh sometimes you need a reset on what you are doing. Always Appreciate you and your wife Haley and your content. Nice Sales Take Care Out
Josh i love the content keep it up!!:)
Josh, You should put a grommet in the towels and market them as Golf Towels!
Great video. I have a question in regards to videos. How do you reduce the file size of your videos and what editor do you use? Thanks
I love your shirt Josh, Moze looks good.
I ❤your organization system
You could throw a towel in each Flip-Con swag bag or hand them out at a meet & greet you do where viewers can buy a pie and a towel to pie one of you, and then they offer you the towel to clean off haha
Hey! Put the Small Soldiers stickers in the Swag Bags for Flipcon 😃
Another great vid Josh. Out of interest, what type/size bags do you use to store your clothes in? I'm trying to find something similar for some of my stock.
I think most things fit in 9x13 bags but we have multiple sizes
Great sales and video bro.
Thanks for sharing 😊. Miss seeing Haley and Moses ❤. God bless stay safe until the next video 💓 😍
Interesting I definitely have to start listing more, I currently just sell trading cards, and just got accepted to sell on whatnot hopeful if goes well
Hey Josh - where do you get your golf club size boxes?
Had I known you had that black cat Squishmallow.... Anyway, I did as you suggested and listed 100 products and now we're getting a lot more nibbles. I have at least 300-500 more to go (very time consuming), but I'm listing Monday -Fri now. I also started a new ebay store (giving them another chance), we'll see how that goes. Thanks for the advice!
Great video & congrats on your sales increase. Ty for all the candid info. I have one big question. How do you document your expenses for the stuff you buy? I see in the video you give estimates but for book keeping & taxes that needs to be a firm number. How do you track it? Is it all on an average from total purchase cost per shopping trip like you did on the big clothing buy? Plus a lot of your purchases are cash, no paper trail? The book keeping on a bigger scale like yours baffles me. I need to keep it simple or I'm reluctant to do it. For my Craft biz, I have receipts for my expenses, sales are usually cash. I use a simple Debit, Credit method on an old style checkbook register.
We track everything on a total basis for the month, rather than individual items. Everyone likes to think that you have to track each sale but that's way too much work. You think restaurants track each french fry they sell? lol. We look at our total gross revenue for the month and then take out fees, shipping, cost of goods for anything we bought that month and any other expenses and that gives us our monthly profit. We use our business credit card at all the thrift stores so that credit card statment supports those purchases and we use our business debit card to get cash out at the atm to buy stuff at the flea market. The irs knows that you arent going to have receipts for flea markets and garage sales, so just having records of your cash withdrawls should be fine. You could take it a step further and write down your total flea market garage sale spend each week, but I dont really think that's necessary. As long as your numbers make sense, it's fine. If you say you bought something for $2 and sold it for $50, no one is going to question that. If you say you bought something for $50 and sold it for $2, that may raise some flags.
@@HairyTornado perfect, makes sense to me, & easy enough too. Thank you so much for sharing.
Every time you say 'it's in the X file,' I'm expecting to hear the music!! Lol!! 😂😂😂
Ground Advantage doesn't have the 1lb limit like first class did but it's the same speed and service first class was so I've been pretty happy with it so far
Hey I have been watching you for a few years now and I have always wanted to get it to reselling and now have the chance to I was wondering if you had a vid that I missed with tips and don't or could give a some that would be amazing and keep up the great work and love the way the house is going
You've been a busy bee - I'm sure you and Moes will be pleased to see Hayley back 😊
Good video, thank you HT. 😎👊🏻🙏
Great video as always 😤😤😤
This video reminded me of the old videos. You pulling the items out of your small garage.
Love this kind of content
How does UPS charge you post shipping if you don't pay enough for the item shipped? I have shipped multiple golf clubs recently for $8-$10 and want to watch for an additional charge.
I have a friend who fixed up a house she rents to the visiting nurses who go on long term assignments. You might check whether there is a need for that in your ares. They would probably take good care of it and not be too demanding.I have another friend who is currently doing that on a long term assignment in another state.
Aww geez, thought you were going to say tge Squishmallow s o l d f o r $70.00. You just slowed down trying to remember the amount. Soooo funny.
Definitely got my attention.
BIG HUGS for your family.
Belly rubs for Mose.
K.T.
Too bad I live in Canada. Could repair sewing items for you guys.😊❤your videos. Retired 65yr
That Titleist bag looks sweet. $50 is a steal of a deal for that person if they can fix those zippers.
Hey Josh. Great vid.
Just curious. Is your ebay garage air conditioned and heated? If so, would you mind sharing what kind of system.
Thanks!
Yes we have a mini split unit. It’s not great in the heat of the summer. Keeping the warehouse around 78 degrees requires it to run all day
@HairyTornado thanks for the info. I do almost all my reselling in my 2 car garage and it gets pretty toasty in there. I just have a regular oscillating fan and that only helps a tad.
Maybe include a towel in your FlipCon swag bags! If I were attending, I’d be thrilled!! 😊
Praise be to the goodwill bin Gods, you turned the fan off 😁
Bought the German made watch, Paid a lot of shipping but totally worth it! Hope it arrives safely :)
thank you so much! Fingers crossed!
Yay my kitty squishmallow!! Can’t wait to get it! ❤
Josh please stick an "X Files sticker on your X drawer file. Every time you do shipping and say that drawer it makes me think of the show🤣.
What are the towels made of? Are they cotton?
Hey Josh have you noticed that since USPS Advantage got added, some of my ebay items have blank info on shipping. Can't figure out how to find them unless I go through all items. Any ideas?
I haven’t seen that on ours yet
@@HairyTornado interesting cuz about half of my listing didn't have a defined shipping cost anymore.
Hey, for tracking sales on eBay what type of chart do you use or website thank you, keep it up 👍🏼
I’d recommend myresellergenie
Hey, if you don’t use priority mail where do you get your shipping boxes?
you can buy boxes on ebay or amazon. We purchase from a local shipping supply store.
Thanks Josh, for posting this video! Don't you miss Haley? ❤️❤️From the Netherlands
She has been back since last Tuesday but she got Covid her last day in Honduras so that’s why she hasn’t been in any videos. She’s filming her first one today :$
@@HairyTornado Oh, poor Haley. I hope she gets well soon. Love you guys. ❤️
I am a Director or nursing and for my nurses and aides . I will be ordering 30-40 tea towels . Will be in middle of august for appreciation hope you still have some what a perfect statement ❤
Those Nike penny 1’s warriors resell for 100-200 man I bet you made someone real happy with that one
Comps weren’t there. There were 5 listed and none sold. Mine was the first to sell, at least in the last 90 days. They were also kids
Great job!
9 dollars per towel? You really did help out a local 😄
Felt like a throwback vid
Ive never seen you discuss this subject ..... How much $ do you pay the New Goods inspector?
Funny enough, he actually gets paid $1000 per year as a “pet modeling fee”. It’s a write off for us and he gets to buy anything he wants. 🤪
@@HairyTornado ❤️❤️❤️😂
Love it Let’s Go Mose 🐕❤
@@chhook949 he's living his best life. 🥳
If you are going to film yourself next to your desk you need to add some lighting in the corner of the warehouse. Just letting you know.
how are you going to continue the 20 flip house without whatnot?
I’m still doing whatnot.
Do you think Columbia pieces are flooding ebay like The North Face? I've been not picking them up, because there are just so many!
Yes they are very similar to
North face. Need to look for unique colors and larger sizes
I does burner mean when you say it about a golf club
Where do you get the bags you keep your clothes in?
amazon
What does it mean to “push hard on eBay?” Does that mean more listings, changing prices, shipping as soon as something sells?
Also…
Is it better to relist or to revise and edit the price? In terms of getting more eyes on them via the eBay algorithm?
More listings, refreshing old listings, sending offers, lowering prices, running sales, etc
Yeah I got a question how do you sell on eBay
Do you have a percentage that you figure for to set aside tax? You mentioned it, but didn't subtract it.
We save 25% of net profits after expenses
Fun suggestion...put anything that you're selling that's alien related into the X File.
Right now I would watch shipping UPS. As of the 1st of august they most likely going out on strike.
Gotta get all my golf clubs sold before then lol
Great video as usual. Only comment is where's Hayley ? I think we all miss seeing her on the vids.
He ended up putting her on ebay-- I can't complain about it too much, because I was the winning bidder!!😅
Back to basics!
Still waiting for you to put an alien sticker on the X file cabinet
Mose for president!!!
Yessss🎉
Ground advantage helps clothing sellers big time because now 2lb jeans can go ground advantage, and I think that’s cheaper than priority but idk yet lol
I think the padded flat rates are still cheaper for jeans, but I could be wrong g
You guys ever find metal detectors in your thrifting? Might be good sellers
We see them at the flea market fairly often but never good ones.
Please flip Spider-Gwen's hoodie UP! 😂
Nice. The X-File is finally back 😅!
Hello Josh ,I think many followers of your channel , miss your lovely wife Hayley, and so do i. And we hope, she will be back on the screen soon..... Greetings from ( Brakel) Belgium. André.
Holy moly ❤5 years
How fun to see my purple Soft Surroundings coat! It was the one for $30. Is this my 15 minutes of fame? Have a great day and God Bless.
Thanks for the support!
Where do you thrift in Charlotte?
Usually just search “thrift store” and go everywhere
I have a good eBay account myself, but they take so much of every sale and issues with USPS charging me more after I ship items has been problematic. I sell tools I buy at swap meets mostly snap on
Any online selling platform is going to take fees. eBay is about 12% which is about as good as it gets
W Video. U already know i got the post noties on ❤❤!!
How fast do you ship your eBay orders?
Next day
I’m from Charlotte…it suck for thrifting…save the trip.
