    Nice work Evan! I would advise newbies to NOT buy everything that they THINK will sell on ebay. You will have a huge pile of unlisted stuff sitting in a room of your house for longer than you hoped! (true life experience).

    Not sure if this has been mentioned nor am I going to check.
    But.... when searching current values of items the fail-proof way is to locate the item model number and reference that because sometimes manufacturers will revamp items and fabricate newer versions of the same item.

    I actually hate the barcode scanner. It is handy, but I get far more results with a manual search... That being said, I am the crazy man in the store talking to my phone. Yes I use the mic function to verbally input the product details into eBay. I find way more resuls and that becomes key when looking at the sell-through rate.... For me.

    • @flippymcflipperson
      @flippymcflipperson  8 месяцев назад +1

      You're not wrong. You will definitely only find the results where the seller took the time to put the UPC in to the listing. I usually try the scanner first since it's quick. Then, if there are few results, I go the manual route. You can also find me talking to my phone instead of typing 😁

    You are one of the more helpful resellers out there, from my viewing experience. One thing I would also highly recommend to mention is double check the pricing of your comparables to see if they include shipping or not. That can make a huge difference on where you price your product, and not end up losing a bunch of money because other sellers may include shipping in their price. Other than that it was a great entry level tutorial.

    Great job Evan! You were on point. I love seeing resellers talk about the “how to” more often. When I started out I was searching high and low for this kind of information. I would really like to hear more about how people source golf clubs. I have been finding and buying more clubs lately but often wonder if I am making the right decisions. I have sold several, but have some that are sitting in inventory. They were slow sellers to begin with so I will have to wait. Looking forward to the next video! Thanks!

    • @flippymcflipperson

      This is my local Goodwill's mission statement copied directly from their website.
      "Goodwill Industries of Upstate/Midlands South Carolina is a not-for-profit organization offering career services, job training, certifications and programs that help South Carolinians become independent through employment."
      Unless I misunderstand, their mission isn't to provide affordable items for the less fortunate it is to raise as much money as possible to fund their programs/training.

    There's a tool when thrifting where I snap a pic of a shelf, crop out all items with my thumb (takes about 1 minute), and it identities the names and online prices for each item in just 5 minutes. You can find resellable items on a store shelf way quicker than you ever could manually Googling them one by one, essentially beating all other thrift store hustlers in the store. The tool is worthwiz.com
