    Hi Dave, I hate that you have trouble finding things but I do think your inventory system is one of the better ones I've seen and I do the same as you. I do however perform a year end audit. Between Christmas and New Years, I pull box by box and compare it to my listings on Ebay. I run a report by Custom SKU and that helps me perform the audit. I've done it two years in a row now and have found lots of items that weren't even listed anymore that I have to relist and then I also discover things that are in the wrong boxes and then I can move them back. I also purge old inventory and send it to a garage sale. If I don't sell it there - I then re-donate it. It's a process but it has been very helpful and it lets me start the year super fresh!

    I have a lot of garage sales during the nice weather when I want to purge old listed inventory. It is not that much work to have multiple ones, do it for 3 hours on a Fri or Sat morning, then box and donate the junk that doesn't sell and call it a day. Business write off there. I always advertise my ebay store and you tube channel at the sale and get subs and new local reseller friends from it, so it is a win all the way around. My normal gross on a yard sale is around $100 per hour on average, even if a lot is low dollar items.

    I’ve never commented before, but I’m one of the quiet watchers enjoying your videos and learning.
    Despite being a reseller since 1999, and a North Carolina Gal, I still learn from you.
    I just spent the past two weeks going through all my inventory piece by piece. I use your letter method.
    I found something that I had sold 3x! At last! Now let’s try for the fifth time. 😂
    And I had 7 things no longer listed and had been wondering why they haven’t sold. Doh!
    460 active eBay listings and 5290 on posh!
    Highs and lows like any job, but tomorrow’s a new day.
    That’s what I always remind myself when I get distracted and discouraged with reselling.
    I learn from you, bearded thrifter and Lavender Clothesline.
    Keep up the good work, and chin up!

    Sounds like you need a "smalls" section, shelf, bin, drawers, pockets what-evers. Depending on what sort of space you have available. I don't think you need to shut down your store completely. Go through the inventory box by box, and pull the smalls out and put them in a separate box w/ a new sort of sku designation that lets you know that box is full of smalls. It will probably take a concentrated effort to adjust custom sku numbers while you make the new adjustments. You might have to do some condensing to make room for the new smalls section.
    I think someone else suggested plastic baggies for the smalls zip-lock bags work well for that.

    You can invest in plastic food storage bags (small, medium, & large) for your inventory. That way they’re not scratching / bumping up on each other inside the bins. You’d theoretically need no more than ~1000 you can just cycle through

    On the reorganization, I stop using older totes for new inventory and let them filter down on a yearly basis, and just start new totes. When they do get small enough to inventory audit quickly, I do and then put a fresh date on them; and put them back in service. Seems to limit the "oops" factor to a minimum. Keep bringing the content!

    You can correct your storage system very very easy without stopping to much trouble. I had the same problem as you did. I have large totes and 5 of my totes, I have small shoe box totes within those totes. Makes finding small stuff super easy, instead digging through a hole big box, you look in A-8 thats tote A and box 8. The totes fit 15 small of those smaller boxes.
    Hope that helps

    I think that you should stop talking about the negative comments. Internet trolls are desperate for human interaction and relationships. By saying that they affect you, you’re giving them exactly what they’re after. Plus your videos have tons of views, so the trolls then get to hear on a wide platform that they got to you, they won.
    The best thing you could ever do to get back at a troll is ignore them

    7:02 You've made so nice improvements to your inventory system recently when you built the DVD/Games shelf. That was a good move.
    I am not sure what else we can do as eBay sellers other than using a bin/box system like you have (and I have).
    You could maybe move your smalls to your bench drawers like Lonnie & Candice (Shed Flips) do. That seems to work for them.
    Cheers!

    You will have to ship those items you sell on What Not, and now you have shipping supplies cost, for 1 dollar items you would lose your shirt, just on shipping supplies and the amount of time would be nuts. Garage sale, they give you a buck and walk off with it. What is left over just donate, or make a free box on your curb. If you advertise Garage Sale say "Everything is $1.00 each. They will swarm and take it all. But we want to watch it, too much fun.

    50% off sale is aggressive but if you moving old inventory it is cool. I always just do coupons but after this video may rethink it and just put store on sale. Not 50% lmao😂😂😂 but usually run 20% off list price coupon. So maybe 25% sale see how it goes. Always enjoy the videos when you can't find something always makes me know I'm not alone.

    I think you just need to go thru your death pile and sort it into piles of redonate, sell quick, and ebay. Only keep the stuff you know you will list because you enjoy listing that type of item or know its good money just sitting there. Maybe contact another reseller that would be interested in a bulk buy. And whatnot for the quick sales. You could have a garage sale, but in my experience, it's just a weekend wasted because you only sold 10 things lol. The amount of time overseeing the garage sale, could have been used to list 100 things on ebay. Or selling on whatnot and it ACTUALLY SELLS. maybe for only a dollar. But it's GONE lol

    When you run 50% off do you get watchers anticipating you to send them something more? Just curious because I've been experiencing a lot of that lately! Haven't commented for a while but gaining steam catch you on the back side. Love the program Dave! PS. You've inspired me more than you know
