[@thegentlemanmarketeer]

Hi Dana thank you for the Sub, I do believe you were number 500 for me so thank you soooo much. Look forward to speaking soon Simon

[@insidestylists]

I was on a photo shoot yesterday and saw a spoke top and had never seen them before. It’s a new one to me. Thanks for the great video.

[@thegentlemanmarketeer]

Thanks, yes never seen the Spoke polo before, normally pick up chino trousers. Have a great day simon

[@cristoff3]

Loving this content. Honest and transparent. Going through every video now, and tempted to try myself. Wondering if you know anything about the brand 'Selected Homme'? I saw a nice coat in good condition for £5 yesterday, not sure if that would be worth a punt....? Thanks

[@thegentlemanmarketeer]

Thank you so much for taking the time to watch and comment, it means the world to me. I am so please you are just starting to sell things on EBay, have a go at selling items from home, see what sells then do that again, have a great week, Simon

[@am-yu6jo]

Enjoyed the video. Would be interesting to hear how much you paid for items. New subscriber 🎉

[@thegentlemanmarketeer]

Thanks for the message and Sun, it’s very much appreciated. I do intend to talk more about buying costs in the future. Kind regards Simon

[@lisageilhausen1866]

[@piginentry]

First time viewer. Really liked the video, very informative. Like how you price all your items ending in 77p. Is this your lucky number.

[@thegentlemanmarketeer]

Thank you for taking the time to watch my video, glad you liked it, I’m trying to put more videos out like this. Have a great day Simon

[@Randomstuff78-x8q]

New here , great video.

[@thegentlemanmarketeer]

Thanks for watching it Is appreciated 🙏

[@Randomstuff78-x8q]

Hi , thank you for the information, I’ve been selling for about a year part time and I’ve learnt a lot from this . Especially about the jeans . I always stay away from superdry and crew clothing but will start to look at them closer . Can you recommend any good bulk sellers you trust as mine has recently quit selling.

[@boldfinds]

Killing it 🎉

[@thegentlemanmarketeer]

Thank you for all your support. I do appreciate it 👍

[@Flowerlifts111]

Can you do more day in the life videos of you showing your orders and also telling us how much you paid for them? Thank you

[@thegentlemanmarketeer]

Thank you for watching it is very much appreciated, I’m sure I will be doing more day in the life, I will also make an effort to show how much I pay for the items as well. Kind regards Simon

[@bobby_howes]

Good afternoon, Thank you for the video, enjoyed seeing your processes. How long did it take you, listing consistently every day, before you were experiencing daily sales, enough to maintain a decent monthly wage. Question from a part-time eBay clothing reseller with aspirations to become full time in 1-2 years. Thank you.

[@thegentlemanmarketeer]

Hi thank you so much for taking the time to watch my video, glad to hear you enjoyed it. In regards to daily sales, I was in full time employment until about 18 months ago. I was listing 10 items a day and after about a year I was selling 8-10 daily. My one bit of advice would be don’t rush into going full time, I still to this day have a part time job I work at the weekend, this pays the mortgage so takes a little bit of pressure off EBay. Hope that makes sense. Hope you have a great week Kind regards Simon

[@scousedann1642]

hey just came across your channel, great channel love your work ethic just sub as well, keep up the good work man.

[@thegentlemanmarketeer]

Thank you so much it is very much appreciated, kind regards Simon

[@jilliancameron4811]

Hi I am new to your channel and found it to be quite informative. You certainly have an eye for finding good quality items. Can I ask where you get your clear bags from for storing items as I am a crafter and they would be very useful. Have a good week

[@thegentlemanmarketeer]

I get my bags from eBay, I buy 1000 at a time and cost £32. I hope this helps and thank you for watching. Regards Simon Clear Polythene Poly Bags All Sizes Crafts, Food Safe - Cheapest For All Sizes. Polypackuk is the company I get them from 👍

[@nu2me2]

Hi Simon thanks for the videos. Where do you get your inventory storage boxes please?

[@thegentlemanmarketeer]

Hi thanks for watching it is appreciated. I am a big believer of the saying Low cost no cost !!! So I get my boxes free of charge from the supermarket Lidl, they are Tortilla boxes, they sell loads and always have empty ones. I just asked an employee if I could have them. Hope that helps Simon

[@flipmodeisthegreatest7247]

Thanks for the video. Recognise some of those car parks! Do you find sufficient stock from Charity shops in the winter months?

[@thegentlemanmarketeer]

Thanks for the comment so nice to have a local seller 🙏 currently I do find enough JUST but it’s hard work, I need to work on getting a supplier. Thanks again Simon

[@Sir-Tea]

How long on average do the items you buy stay on the shelf before someone buys them? good video

[@thegentlemanmarketeer]

Hi, thanks for the message and taking the time to comment, I aim for a 3 month turn around, anything iloldwr I will heavily discount until it goes. A quick sell thru is key for me. Kind regards Simon

[@sneckiegaming9221]

Hi Simon another great video what’s your normal mark up 30% minimum or?

[@thegentlemanmarketeer]

Hi, thank you for taking the time to watch, I would say a 30% margin is where I aim for (I would love to get higher) Thanks again Simon

[@HC-nd8km]

Not idea how you can sell it for that prices well done to you 👍👍

[@thegentlemanmarketeer]

Thank you, I will always keep an eye on my prices, I don’t always get what I hoped for but I do try to turn items over quickly. Thanks for watching I do appreciate it kind regards Simon

[@Crest6680]

Which bags do you use? I usually tape over them cause I don’t trust the seals, do yours get lost much?

[@thegentlemanmarketeer]

Hi, thanks for the message, I use ones from EBay, don’t normally have any issues, don’t worry about tape. Don’t have many go missing less than 1 a month and I send out about 500 a month. Thanks for watching Simon

[@lidijailievska8347]

How can I contact you with a business proposal?

[@thegentlemanmarketeer]

Hi thank you for watching and taking the time to send a message, I have been reselling for around 3 and a half years, when I first started I was in full time employment and done Ebay as a side hustle, I sold anything and everything but after a while I joined a mentor group and was advised to niche into 1 category. I was listing 10 a day 7 days a week for about 6 months, I saw good sales so quit the day job and the rest is history. I still work 5 days on eBay and 2 days in a retail shop just to not rely 100% on eBay . Wow that was a long reply hope it made sense Regards Simon

[@atristram54316]

Hi, how far do you normally travel from home for sourcing?

[@thegentlemanmarketeer]

Hi, Thanks for the message and taking the time to watch, I do travel quite a distance on average maybe 50-60 miles, I usually go to 4-5 towns with 5-8 shops in each, hope this helps. Kind Regards Simon

[@LivingALife4Me]

Do you wash, steam or iron any of the items? Thanks

[@thegentlemanmarketeer]

Hi, thank you for the message, I wash the majority of my clothing then flat lay and stack them so I don't need to iron. I hope that is helpful. Simon

[@LivingALife4Me]

Yes that helps. Know the new items will not be washed due to the tags. I used to do well selling on Ebay years ago but the market changed and Ebay itself changed so didn't work for what I sold at the time. Well put together video. Thanks@@thegentlemanmarketeer

[@rraizers83]

Running out of space there Simon.... Big warehouse soon :P

[@thegentlemanmarketeer]

Thanks for the message I do appreciate it. I currently have 2 single garages, the main one holds about 1500 item but will be maxed out at about 2200 and the second garage has bulky coats. I try and spend as little as I can so not planning on a warehouse just yet. Thanks for your time Simon

[@aidanchatfield]

Your ebay store Name? Link? Can you put it in your about info in your KZbin Channel page.

[@thegentlemanmarketeer]

Hi, Thanks for the message, appreciate you watching, that's a good idea to put my details in the description. I will start doing that in the future. Thank you.

[@JackyHapy]

Agree, had to rummage around EBay and found it 🙂. Nice channel , to the point 👍🏾

[@GeoffreyUrch]

Ta Simon

[@thegentlemanmarketeer]
