Yea I always second guess the price of items that sell immediately, but there's no way to know, so I find it's just better, as long as you know you did your research before hand to think that it was priced well and someone was waiting for one to pop up. Better than it sitting there for months haha. On items I collect I always check new listing buy it now and if I've been looking for something and it's priced well I buy it, so I hope that's the situation for others too.

Goodwill is just a clever name. What bugs me the most is when they ask everyone to donate their change to "help people get to work". This is them donating to their own charity that pays people super low AND they use their "charity donation" to write off of their taxable income to save money at the corporate level.
@unclegreenskatesoda95702 ай бұрын
I mean, thrift stores aren't there specifically for poor people to shop at or for people to get things for free from. They get the goods donated for free because the store exists to sell those goods and make money to put into their charitable programs. People get it twisted that the goods for sale are the charity, they aren't, the funds they raise and programs they fund are the charity. It's a goodwill just buy the shoes for the homeless person, the cop isn't homeless he has a wallet on him.

Couple pointers for you. BTW, so sorry to hear about your Mom (😔)! First, when figuring the rate, just round-up. For example, a 2 Pound 6 Oz. Item....the cost at 3 pounds is EXACTLY the same. Second, always charge shipping... unless you have an item where the competition is heavy and you have to offer free shipping. Those shipping costs can really eat into your bottom line. Lastly, I rent a large booth at an antique store/mall (even though most of my items are vintage and not necessarily antiques). Absolutely the best decision that I've ever made. I did $1,500 in sales last month for example. You just find an item, price the item, drop it off at your booth, and you're done!! It's EASY money and helps off-set slow months on EBay. I sell around 40-60+ items (sometimes more) each month.
@MickFlippins2 ай бұрын
Hey, thanks for the tips! Since this video I’ve been charging for shipping on a lot more items. Definitely been a big help. I’ve been in a couple co-ops over the years. They’re kinda hit or miss in this area. Did great first couple years last year was tough. Pulled out of the last one around the time I started the channel here. Though as my inventory keeps grows it has me thinking about getting into one again, lol.
