    i just cant wrap my head around the over 100% sell through rate? It makes no sense to me...it doesn't take into account how long items have been listed and what is the percentage out of ....is it just me?

    • @AmberResells
      @AmberResells  2 года назад

      Number of items sold in the last 90 days divided by current number of items listed . Here’s an example. If I go to eBay right now and search for “Mens rock revival jeans”, there are 1500 listings currently for sale. If I toggle to sold listings, there are 3400 listings. These are 3400 sold listings within the last 90 days. Therefore the sell through rates is 3400 divided by 1500 or 226%.

    This was fun, and you picked up a sub. I pretty much started reselling in October last year with no menswear knowledge at all. My wife had purchased nearly every piece of clothing I've owned since the day after we were married... 39 years ago. I also love the fast turn model since we live in an RV, so we have a tiny amount of space available to work from. My inventory is sliding up under 200 items this week. It's worth using as a business tool if menswear is your niche.

Currently in central California, but soon heading up toward Salt Lake City. (I love shopping at Deseret Industries aka 'the DI') We're mostly making a circuit of the Pacific Northwest. We've thought about expanding into a channel, but heck, I'm 60 something.
