10 SHOPGOODWILL.COM SECRETS TO BUY AND SELL ON EBAY TO MAKE A PROFIT 2019 Shop Goodwill Jewelry Lots

[@TexasGalTreasures]

Have you bought any lots from Shop Goodwill Online?

[@alldogspoolandspa]

Thanks! I was just checking out Goodwill lots & held back because I didn't have a strategy.

[@ohiogremlin87]

I am writing on my son’s channel. I have been shopping on shopgoodwill for years for postage stamp collecting. Also some earrings, buttons and doilies.

[@peachycleanhouse]

My first one is on the way. I needed to have watched this video first! I spent WAY too much on shipping

[@patty237]

yes i've purchased 2 and didn't know all the strategies (sounds better than secrets) lol i would not be so hesitant. thanks Texas Gal Treasues

[@lovethesummer26]

I am proud to help manage the jewelry program on shopgoodwill for my location and just wanted to drop a comment to let you know I love watching our customers on YT because a) I’m learning for a future life 😂 but b) it’s a way for me to know what you all are looking for. So thank you for these videos and shopping on SGW 😊

[@missconnie1006]

My biggest secret about shopping at Goodwill Online is to NEVER tell anyone about the site. The less bidders, the better. Another comment I have is, Don't Bid until the end of the auction. All you are doing is running up the price. Thank you Margaret for a fine comprehensive video with not any silliness interjected. It's so nice to listen to someone with excellent diction.

[@habbaniyahblows]

Exactly smh

[@lovethelordjesuspraisethel3286]

I APPRECIATE You soooo much.. I used to sell on ebay.. I know the excitement and Yes..A Budget.. I knew how to write up items and photos to catch the eye.. I do NOT Understand how ANYONE COULD Send you hate mail..that IS JEALOUSY..And here you ARE HELPING OTHERS..👏 Working and being home with your Children..YOU ARE BLESSED & A BLESSING To others.. I Praise God. For your Compassion..keep doing Great!!! It is fun too..usually..love hugs to you and your own..🙏🙏🙏🤟❣🤗

Adding a Bonus Tip....look at pics carefully! You might at first glance see some cool brooches, but when you look closer, you see missing crystals, scrapes, etc.

[@TexasGalTreasures]

Thank you, peace3601!

[@Micheleluvs2create]

Yes, I have bought Barbie lots. One doll can pay for the lot plus profit, it you know what to look for! I also buy clothing to flip and keep my order open until I find multiple items so the shipping can be combined! Usually not worth it if buying only one clothing item because the shipping is too high. You don't have to pay for 7 days and then you get a warning to pay in 3 more days. You can bid on up to 15 items at one time!!! Work it!

[@lucysnowe31]

New subscriber in 2022. I've been binge-watching you and I've learned so much! Thank you. You have the most pleasant voice to listen to.

[@undeadondine1977]

This was extremely helpful for me; being disabled and unable to drive, I have a feeling Shop Goodwill is going to be a must for me (I haven't shopped there yet bc I just heard about it yesterday and I have no money right now lol). I'm planning to sell vintage jewelry, vintage glassware, ceramics, toys, and possibly clothing (though I would rather buy clothes off line), things like that. I'm researching depression era glass right now simply bc I love it. I'm a jewelry maker, but I know it's going to be hard to part with my pieces bc I love them, and I'm also a bit shy about putting my own creations out there. Thank you so much for making this video, I know it's going to help me a lot.

[@RobinDonnelly1208]

I am in the same situation so I was thinking the same thing. I also dabble in making jewelry, but I am a real novice so I am not confident enough to list it also.

[@phyllisecoff3435]

Margaret you’re the best!! Thanks for your generosity and support. Enjoy your adventure with the offspring and stay safe. I used to do what you’re doing and I loved it!!

[@suestenstream3041]

I have only shopped Goodwill on line, for something unique as gifts...never realized I could get lots on there! I am doing alot of prep work before I start selling on line, so thank you for all of your great tips!!

[@Hiker_who_Sews]

My tip: Sometimes items are listed by people who don't spell very well. Use a misspelled version of what you want in the search box. For instance, you want jewelry. Try also searching for jewlery. It's worked for me a couple times, though admittedly not recently. I blame autocorrect.

[@TexasGalTreasures]

Dannie N, Such a good idea! Thank you!

[@emmar4804]

Hey! Fellow elementary school teacher turned stay-at-home and home school mom here--who also decided to get into reselling on ebay and etsy...and I'm also Texan:) Thank you so much for sharing all you learned...I'm so excited about diving into this and I'm trying to get my girls involved too. I've got so much to learn!!! I will be looking into this online option too...thanks!

[@ursulamaurer8233]

Their shipping and handling are outrageous. It can double the cost of the item.

[@TexasGalTreasures]

True

[@CourtBass34]

It varies by individual store an item comes from. Some are crazy high, some are low and reasonable. You just always need to check.

[@theredbarroness]

I always go with their penny shipping when possible 😊

[@marybethg5505]

Such great informative information thank you for sharing I just started checking into this today actually and got some toy lots I haven’t looked into the jewelry yet but I guess I can’t agree about these high prices on shipping so I will take all of your advice and also doing the one cent shipping to see what I can find there But I do look at it as if the resale of one of the items can cover all of the cost Of the items and the shipping makes me feel better

[@margaretwatkins4290]

I use shop goodwill to buy purses, specifically Vera Bradley. I sell the ones I buy at flea markets.

[@Yeshuareigns1234]

You mentioned check shipping cost. There is an estimator on the site to check the shipping by your address is automatically gives you the oil rice and also Adda it the handling to the total. It’s an important feature.

Great video, Margaret! I am a long-time sourcer on shopgoodwill.com and all your tips are spot-on. Have followed you from time to time on KZbin based on other KZbinr's recommendations. I'm a member of Jason T. Smith's Thrifting Board and Secret Beach and really enjoyed your guest segment on his Thrifty Business show a couple of weeks ago.

You can find some great bargains but the shipping from Minnesota goodwill was around $40 or $50 for under 10 lbs of yarn. Other locations were only charging $15 for the same weight. Also found another goodwill online store called Goodwill Finds. Sells higher priced things.

Just recently bought a metal detector for about a 1/4 of what it is worth for my own use.

[@JewelsNcrime]

Goodwill uses a special electronic device that detects precious metals. I never bothered because i figured my chances are very slim on finding gold in a custome jewelry lot. Do people find gold in goodwill custome jewelry auction lots.

Prices are good but shipping is expensive, not worth for reselling smaller items. I only select Guitar amps like Fenders, gibsons that I know this product cost 600 dlls used everywhere, winning a bid at 60 dlls and 35dlls on shipping on a Gibson guitar amp is when is worth paying the shipping knowing it will easily sell for 500 dlls plus on ebay or offerup

Hi Margarete , i agree with you about the Goodwill lots of jewelry. I have bought some myself and resold them. I was unsure if you knew about a site called "Caring Transitions" its a site that helps older people find nursing home or such, not real sure, but anyway, if you go to "stores" they have auctions or you can buy lots directly from some of the stores. There are quite a few cities that have a brick and mortar store, but you can still buy online from them. There is one in Denton Texas and one in Bryan, I think, anyway, some of their jewelry lots are rather high end, but they have costume also, and you may get it at a reasonable price. here is a link to the site and then you will be able to maneuver around it. some stores have 100's of items and some have zero. this is an auction going on right now. it ends on 11/17 ctbids.com/#!/description/share/274787

Their a bunch of crooks......look at the shipping fee's where something will weigh 1 pound but then they charged me for 5 pounds or more. Then I question them and they won't refund me what THEY actually paid. Also they know when items are broke and they don't take a picture of it purposely so then your stuck with it.Look for yourself and don't get cheated like I did.

I appreciate the video but when I checked out shipping looks like a lot of the old eBay trick of screw people on shipping. I see way overestimation of weight. I look at toys and did a search of plush lots. The shipping indicated that a lot of six beanie babies was 21 lbs. I noticed this on a bunch of items. So go to the shipping tab and put in your zip code for estimated shipping cost.
