Great video Dan. Glad to see another REAL one out there not afraid to show what they are buying and still remain successful. 💰

[@danflynn7342]

Thanks Richie, appreciate the comment.

[@dapperfanatic2176]

Nice video Dan. Love the pro tip about the stickers!

[@danflynn7342]

It helps out a lot when trying to find receipts!

[@lenafreeland5720]

@@danflynn7342 Thanks for the content Dan. Pro tip for you... Seller Amp provides a history on the dates you scan. You can look at SA and get the exact day you first scanned, the price it was, the price it was selling for, etc. Much better than the stickers IMO. 🙂

[@danflynn7342]

Did not know that... Thanks

Great video! I was selling tons of Harry & David also. Then the well dried up

First of all, BEST HOODIE EVER that you’re wearing!!!🤼‍♂️🏈🏀

Thanks, My oldest son is in his sophomore year.

[@dannyyy1233]

Just read your description, wondering why you went From full time to part time on Amazon ?

[@danflynn7342]

I was a teacher for 25 years. Decided to take a year off teaching and do Amazon full time . I then retired and I am receiving my pension. Part time pays the bills and let’s me have the life style that I want. Thanks for watching .

[@sammezrahi5103]

i wish i lived near an ollies. i know that there are many around the border of pa and nj. i do however have alot of ross and burlington and they are great

[@danflynn7342]

Check out their website. It has a locator map. It’s very helpful.

[@dannyyy1233]

Do you just shop at Ollie’s ?

[@danflynn7342]

Hey Danny, I shop a few other stores but Ollie’s is my main squeeze 😁

[@dannyyy1233]

@@danflynn7342 Im not sure why I struggle at Ollie’s! I Can rarely find items to send into Amazon. I have One right by my house and I wish I could squeeze more profit out of it !

[@danflynn7342]

Hey Danny, sounds like you have a reseller visiting your store before you do. That happens. I would suggest that you find out when they receive their delivery. Most Ollie's get one truck a week. Plan one visiting the Ollie's 2 or 3 days after the truck arrives. Good Luck !!

[@TXPETE3677]

Thanks for the knowledge Dan!!! I love your videos! #OlliesGang

[@danflynn7342]

Your welcome . Thanks for watching .

[@Erati243]

@Dan Flynn I understand some people say business is business and blah blah but it seems to me that to buy something from a brick and mortar store FOR THE SOLE PURPOSE OF RESELLING, and than returning it when it doesn't sell for as much or as often as you want is a real scumbag move.

[@danflynn7342]

"Scumbag"... Ouch !! pretty harsh term when you consider that I am not harming anyone or anything in this process. I am not deceitful with Ollie's employees or management. The items are not being thrown into a landfill and in the end, a person who wants or needs the item, gets it. But, you are entitled to your opinion. Best of luck to you.

[@Erati243]

@@danflynn7342 So when you take your product back to Ollie's you say "Hey I am returning this because I tried to resell it and it isn't selling fast enough for me?" Doubtful... also most likely you ARE costing them money as 99% of stores throw out ANY returned food item rather it has been opened or not.

[@TradingWithPeculiarGlow]

Great video Dan! I didn’t know that was you in the discord until today. I’ve never put two and two together lol 😂

[@danflynn7342]

Thanks, Appreciate that. Trying to post in the discord more often but only so many hours in the day. Thanks for watching.

[@claudiaschneider3980]

Hello Dan, would you have a discount coupon for Ollie’s that you could share? 10 percent off would be great. Thanks for your Consideration

[@audreyide4645]

Happy Anniversaries! Good luck in this next year. P.S.: Baretta star= Robert Blake; just passed in the beginning of March.

[@danflynn7342]

I thought of his name on the ride home. lol... Did not know he died. I just remember he went to jail for murder. What I did not know was that Sammy Davis sang that song.

[@kristanallen7126]

Thanks for the very informative vid! Do you send your Candy orders in a box or poly bag?

[@danflynn7342]

I send all candy in a box. Cost a little more but it prevents loss.

[@shannineashford5735]

Do you use Keepa or just Sellers Amp?

[@danflynn7342]

I use both.

[@JubyMan34Matt]

Great video Dan. Is there a way I can directly message you? I have some questions about the ollie's tax exemption.

[@danflynn7342]

would love to help you out! How about posting in this thread or posting in the community page. Your question may help others trying to do the same thing. Let's help each other out.

[@JubyMan34Matt]

@@danflynn7342 great idea Dan! I spoke with my accountant and in a roundabout way she made it seem as if I wouldn't benefit from a tax exemption. But I know ollie's offers it, and if I plan on sourcing from ollie's and other FBA sellers are sourcing with a tax exemption, I'm going to get nowhere. So is she right? Or should I get started on getting the tax exemption?

[@danflynn7342]

Hello Judy, Sorry for the late reply, life got busy. Not sure why you would not benefit from tax exemption? I live in Pa. State sales tax is 6%. If I buy $1000 of merchandise, I also pay $60 in sales tax. If you are exempt, you don't pay the $60. Now, you can claim the $60 of tax as a deduction when you file taxes but it's not the same. You don't get the full $60 deduction as a $60 back to you. You get $60 taking off your total sales for the year, it reduces your tax liability. Not the same as not paying the $60 in the first place. Hope that makes sense.

[@ThomAdFree]

@@danflynn7342 Tax Exemption is great! Ollies, Walmart, TJ Maxx, Marshalls, Walgreens take them... some places do not so you have to change your style a bit for those stores. Target, CVS do not, but Target offers 5% Red Card discounts... anyway to make those profits more is worth it! Especially at Ollies as they're the worst tankers I've seen. lol I'll never truly understand how people are happy with a 5-10% ROI. (but you'll see, they are...or they're cash poor and have to get that money back faster) I just don't see how they're making money that way but ok... 🙂

[@JubyMan34Matt]

@@danflynn7342 Thanks Dan. It does make sense. I did some digging into it and got totally lost by the process. I could really use some help on getting this stuff! Since I'm new to the reselling stuff, I may just get my feet wet and buy/sell some product without the tax exemption, just to see if I enjoy the reselling process. Appreciate the response!

[@sheriromanella4345]

I’m late , just dabbling in resale , not retail arbitrage yet, still learning that Ollie’s in thumbnail is My local Ollie’s I had to laugh if you remember what it was back in the day !

[@igotfilthyways]

Could the spray paint be one of many color variations on the listing and the one you have is not a popular color? I have the same issue with foundation. BSR 22k in beauty but there are many color variations on the buyers listing so mine doesn’t sell as fast as I thought it would!

[@danflynn7342]

It is probably something like that. They have a different UPC but it appears they are be classified together.

[@ThomAdFree]

Yep, definitely due to the amount of variations... I saw over a dozen when I looked them up. Probably one of the colors that isn't as popular. 😞
