Good video thanks! If you haven't done already, cut out a little square at the bottom of the board to allow room for your feet or put the board on top of two cinder blocks or something.
Great video, very helpful. Instead of expensive plywood, try an 8'x4' sheet of 1 inch insulation from either big orange or big blue. Much cheaper and its basically styrofoam. Since it boils down to just needing a large flat surface that can be tilted and which has texture to hold clothes in place, that insulation is perfect. Much cheaper than plywood and its lighter and much easier to move around.
We've been using something similar for quite a while. We have ours raised off the floor on a low table kind of thing. That allows my feet to go under it so I have less leaning forward when getting everything laid out right. Leaning is hard on my old man back.
You got me thinking. The slanted plywood board with a natural white base coat is truly a smart way to go if you have the space - like a studio/attic/basement/shed or the like. At the present time my setup is currently in my dining room. Up to now I have been using one of those metal grids, which is about 60" high, placed against a wall and using different colored coated clips to position the apparel if needed. My apparel includes used and new wardrobe item (costumes and accessories if you like) from TV and Film, so letting the piece hang down presents a better appearance due to the heft and details. I really think that getting a tall mannequin designed to change its appearance from slim to full body is a better option for me - if one exists. If not, I may ask one of my maker friends to construct one for me in their lab. Your use of the ruler to show more detail is a good idea and a device I see used in many garment listings on eBay. Up to now I have not used a ruler in my photography, although I am reconsidering and using a cloth ruler could be even better. For lighting, I have been using the same ring light with adjustable brightness settings that I used for audition videos (I know that ring lights become popular during Covid for use on Zoom and other social media platform videos) and for my other images of non-apparel objects, I have always preferred the natural lighting I get from my large kitchen bay window during the day and my objects sit on my remodeled kitchen quartz counter with our neutral color subway tile as the backdrop. As far as the Mount Dog Soft Box Lights you use, I looked them up on Amazon and found them selling for $39.99 or $63.99 for two, yet I'm thinking of finding a more sturdy and higher-quality brand. That is why I chose the Neewer brand instead of Mount Dog using Prime Big Deal savings for one with stand costing $44.99. I will keep Mount Dog in mind though. www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0CXP9XBF4/ref=ewc_pr_img_1?smid=A2X8BMOM2QHFUL&psc=1. I have had good experience with Neewer photography equipment. However, the Neewer lights do not come with a remote. Funny, the reason I found your video was through my search for the BoxLegend Version 3 Shirt Folding Board you use. I just put that in my cart tonight as well. It costs $14.99. Anyway, I enjoyed your video and it was a pleasure meeting you here and you come across with a natural style that is comfortable to watch, well paced and you have a nice voice that kept me interested. I hope you don't mind the compliments because they are coming from an actor if that means anything. I chuckled when you mentioned as an aside that you listen to The Office and Parks and Recreation when working (both TV shows were created by Greg Daniels and Michael Schur). I made an appearance in an Office episode and loved both the English and American versions. Take care and Thanks!
Super helpful. IDK if you're still reselling and/or making youtube videos with this kind of content but if you ARE, I'd love to see your setup...I work out of my attic as well but struggle finding ways to work (and store my inventory) around its A-frame structure. :-)
Anyone know what type of cardboard boxes Nick is using? The Ziploc bags fit perfectly in them. Looks like maybe a vegetable box from the grocery can't quite tell.
Hey Josie, great question. They are 22x12x10 cardboard boxes. I bought them on Amazon. I edited the description of this video to include the links for the boxes as well as the bags. Hope that helps!
Just watched your video and I had a question about when you actually go to listing it. Do you fill in every single item specific (recommended and not recommended) could you do a quick tutorial on that. Thank you.
Question...does the rough wood cause snags to the fabric? You painted it? Glossy or Matte paint? Can you let us see the item longer so we can see what the background looks like in the picture. Thank you so much for the tips. I'm going to buy the folder. I just started selling clothing on Poshmark. I've been reselling 10 years but with the clothing I need help with tips. Thanks again.
"Can you let us see the item longer so we can see what the background looks like in the picture." You know you can stop the video right? Then you can look at it as long as you want. Even better, go to his eBay store.
I would suggest buying and selling used shoes to start, and once you have 500 or so pairs of shoes, then incorporate shirts. Shirts tend to sell slower than shoes, so I wouldn’t recommend starting with them.
So I know the trend is to use a ruler to show the measurements in the pictures but I noticed it wastes a lot of time for little to no benefit. While I'm listing it's a lot faster to take the measurements while sitting at my desk. Just something to think about
I bag clothes in gallon-size bagel bags from Walmart. Currently $3.64 for a hundred, so about half the price of zip-locks. Search for "Great Value Twist Tie Storage Bags, Gallon." I use them to cover books and magazines as well. Close with eBay tape, which doesn't stick to the plastic. Alternatively, use painter's tape.

So the little bit of roughness on the plywood helps the clothes to not slide down?
genius ... simply .. I repeat GENIUS
That's a great video. We see these challenges faced by brands everyday whom we manufacture and sell shirts to.
Super helpful. IDK if you're still reselling and/or making youtube videos with this kind of content but if you ARE, I'd love to see your setup...I work out of my attic as well but struggle finding ways to work (and store my inventory) around its A-frame structure. :-)
How do you reference the sku from the bag to the listing
learned a few things from ur video but really just liked ur vibe and how u do things im subbing
This video is INVALUABLE. Thank you so much.
Glad it was helpful!
I just saw that other video between the 2 of you I see some shopping in my future. Thanks for the tips.
Great video! Thanks for sharing with us.
Thanks. Really helpful 🤘🏼 from the uk 🇬🇧
Did you upgrade the light bulbs, how many lights do you use? Thanks

This is a really neat option. I don’t have room for anything like that but if I ever have the space.
Thank you! Lots of great information and detail.
Hi may i know the settings of the camera pls? tia
Just watched your video and I had a question about when you actually go to listing it. Do you fill in every single item specific (recommended and not recommended) could you do a quick tutorial on that. Thank you.
Also wanted to say thank you for the initial video it was a lot of help on the number of pictures that actually needed to be taken. Thank you again.

U can a piece of material fleece or a white sheet thin rug
Super helpful! Thank you! Ordering supplies now. :)
Could not find your links for lights and folder
Nice, thanks for sharing your setup. What do you have the hanger attached to? Did you nail in some fishing wire or something like that?
Was wondering the same thing
Do you have link to your board for clothing
No, it's just a 4x8 sheet of plywood from Lowe's.
Thank you, very helpful!😀👍
Thank you. This helped a lot
Thanks for sharing. I’d like to see the folder work with a long sleeve shirt.
Does squeezing the air out wrinkle the shirts?
Great video! Just subscribed!
So sounds like you reuse the bags you do not send the shirts in the bags?
Correct. All bags are reused. When someone purchases a shirt, I take it from the bag, wrap in paper and put in the shipping poly mailer.
Sir, do you cover your clothes behind you or do they stay dust free?
Spray paint board grey?
Daily refinement invented this method , he is the GOAT
Very informative, I'm just starting out.
Thank you for the great tutorial!
You're welcome!
Thanks for the info. Good video
What kind of board do you use behind you shirts?
For the photography, it's a 4'x8' sheet of plywood.
@@nickwoo1 Thank you. I couldn't tell do you have anything over the plywood or is it painted? Love your videos please keep doing what you do 🙂
What type of table to u use?
It's a simple 2'X4' piece of plywood, braced with 2x4s. I just made it from wood that I picked up from the hardware store
Very cool thank you for sharing
Nice thanks for sharing
If I had money saved up would you recommend me buying as many shirts as possible to be able to sell daily?
And I mean buying from thrift stores
I would suggest buying and selling used shoes to start, and once you have 500 or so pairs of shoes, then incorporate shirts. Shirts tend to sell slower than shoes, so I wouldn’t recommend starting with them.
@@nickwoo1 thanks so much for your advice sir I appreciate it !!!!
nice shirts!
Did you paint the board yourself?
Yes I did.
Do you still do this ??
Hi do you not measure?thank you
I don't
So I know the trend is to use a ruler to show the measurements in the pictures but I noticed it wastes a lot of time for little to no benefit. While I'm listing it's a lot faster to take the measurements while sitting at my desk. Just something to think about
I do the same, to me is more complicated with the Yard Stick.
What size are your bags, where do you get them?
I bag clothes in gallon-size bagel bags from Walmart. Currently $3.64 for a hundred, so about half the price of zip-locks. Search for "Great Value Twist Tie Storage Bags, Gallon." I use them to cover books and magazines as well. Close with eBay tape, which doesn't stick to the plastic. Alternatively, use painter's tape.
Super!!!! 🤗♥️🙏🏼
Thanks!
surely that isn't 8ft? You must be 8ft tall! Can you confirm the dimensions of that ply?
Sorry about the confusion. It’s a standard 4’ x 8’ board, but I trimmed it down to about 6 1/2 feet.
Seems to lay nice against that board I dont get the science on that

are you jacksepticeye,s dad?
I am not. Sorry haha
