An additional thought: you're going to need somewhere to store all this stuff unless you want your home to soon become overrun with items and a candidate for filming for "Hoarders". If you need to rent storage for a goodly amount of merchandise, that is another cost that needs to be considered if you become truly serious doing this sort of thing. (And there will be other costs to consider for sure, if you want to really approach this in the way a true business model dictates: cost of gas to go to these thrift stores, wear and tear on your vehicle, internet access service fees; small, overlooked items that seem inconsequential but are really important in the real cost of running this or any other business, no matter how small). Just keep it all in mind and in perspective.

Just because it sat there for a month doesn't mean it took more than an hour to find and estimate a price on it.

A little tip for you on tape decks. They may come on. But I have found that many times when you play a cassette, the sound could be garbled or dragging. What causes garbling is easy to fix, usually you just adjust the audio head which in most cases you can do with an electronic screw driver which insert into holes (provided) by the maker. However, if your sound is dragging, you have just paid out money you'll never get back! Because dragging is caused by three things and none can be fixed. First, lightning could over power the sensitive components on the servo board. That meaning, the resistors, capacitor or power supply line. Second, those machines are often belt driven which is a small grooved rubber band that stretches after intense play or from heat and cold. Third and this being the most frequent (especially on Karaoke players) the sound drags because one motor or both for tape decks is going out or is not getting enough of the original power it was designed for. VHS Tape decks have similar symptoms. This is not a bad idea of going to Goodwill or thrift stores but buying electronics is a risky investment. Just good advice! One last detail to mention, I have re-sold things in person. But if you do with electronics, be certain you can trust them before you ship.

So, if you notice, he ran the total of $100 as "Gross Profit" - that's pre-fees, pre-shipping, etc. Between eBay's 10% and PayPal's 7% Fees that's $17 right there that he didn't make. Also, but this is 1 Hour of Shopping. I wonder how long he spent cleaning, taking pictures, doing research, creating the listing, and then how long he had to wait for it to sell. Quite frankly, I avoid the smaller profit items that I know the shipping costs would be high for, such as, the first item in the beginning - the Wireless Air Gaming Device that he said is worth $12-$20 (idk if that included Free Shipping or not), but that shipping cost would be in a 14x12x4 Inch Box - which limits you to, either, USPS Priority Mail Medium Flat Rate Box ($12.40 ship cost) or USPS Priority Mail Regional with your own box ($8.15-$18, depending on region and box cost), or, if lucky enough, you could have a FedEx Office nearby to use FedEx SmartPost for cheaper.

I think this is a fine video and it supplies a good deal of information. However, the one element so many people doing this sort of stuff always seem to forget is their TIME. Time is money; don't people give their time any value??? Example: this gentleman just spent $29 (ok, let's round it off to $30) on a group of items he says he will more than likely sell for $100. He just spent an hour in the Goodwill; let's say his time is worth at least $10 an hour, not an exorbitant amount. So, we're up to $40 invested. Next, it will take him at least one hour to list all those items on Ebay--another $10 for $50. Assuming he sells everything, he will then have to package them all, drive to the shipping location (post office, UPS, etc., unless he gets them picked up at home) which will entail probably another hour, possibly two--minimum of another $10 (or even $20). So, we have him investing approximately $60 to make $100 with no guarantee that he will actually make $100. This is not a great business model unless you can easily afford the investment in time and energy and are not really needing any substantial income. Hobby fun this may be, serious business, uh, I don't think so.

Personally I don't count my time or at most I count my time as $5 an hour. The reason for that is I'm actually disabled with chronic pain. So it takes me longer to do things. Plus this would be/is a source of earning just a little extra to help pay for things. Usually medical stuff. Or for the occasional fun thing. I also do crafts and I sold a pair of fairy garden storage jars I made from Dollar Tree stuff. If I actually counted my time I'd be shooting myself in the foot since I take so long. But since I'd probably be doing it anyway I don't count the time and about tripled my money. I'm trying to get into some buying and selling of either crafts or things I've been lucky enough to find to sell. I'm hoping I can make at least enough to help pay for my badly needed over dentures. Unfortunately I can't wear regular denture due to overgrown bone causing severe pain. That's my hopeful goal. But I also just want and need to get out more often. If I stay too long in bed I hurt more and if I do too much I hurt more. But I'm finally trying to get out more and be healthier this year. So far I'm doing ok at it. Since being put on 2.5 mg of Prednisone I'm a lot better in general. So I want to push myself to try and get out more and one way of doing that is to go thrift store/clearance/fleamarket shopping. So far I haven't really sold anything. Well besides those jars. But I did get 2 men's construction/hiking boots by bearpaw. They are an $60-80 shoe that I got for 89¢. Of course they're not perfect. But other than a few little paint stains they're in great condition. I'm really hoping I can sell them for $15-25. The inserts do come out and that makes it great for orthotics. Just wish they fit me. They were so cheap I figured I try to sell them for a while and if I still have them in 6 or so months I can just donate them. Men's stuff rarely gets donated unfortunately. So while it is possible to make a living at this, although extremely hard, most of us are more in it to supplement our income. Not that I've succeeded yet. I personally wouldn't rely on the money from it until after I sold it. Plus the adrenaline and excitement you get from finding a truly great deal helps with pain control. At the very least I get out some.

Hello to you and the others that replied! In all fairness, you guys should check out this guy's (Craigslist Hunter's) other videos. He is truly a GOLDMINE of information- if you're into reselling on Ebay. He's got a ton of experience with unusual items and he's a walking encyclopedia of what things are worth. One of his best training videos shows you exactly what to auction, and how to get top dollar via Ebay's auction platform.. (in several videos he teaches auctioning techniques). Trust me, watch a few and you'll be glad you did. His videos will save you a lot of time. The more I watch him, the more amazed I am about the extent of his knowledge - very grateful to have found his channel.

He "spent" an hour at a Goodwill to illustrate the 'competition' and likely net minus $100.00, and eventually exceed that amount in AdSense revenues, whilst 'picking' up a few dozen new 'subs' on YT, per video. (200+ in the last 48 hrs., for example.) He also grossed $55k. in sales in June and July, 2016 in eBay sales alone... and I would imagine LAUGHS at all the IGNO-RANT 'comments' here? (NAH, he doesn't have the SPARE TIME to...) ;-)))

The biggest problem is many thrift stores including Goodwill sell on eBay now! And others if they don't often look stuff up before they price it and price it so there's no meat on the bone! Also as CH ran into here, there are A LOT of other pickers out there! When you combine that with all the competition on eBay, people making very little profit offering Free Shipping, it is getting harder and harder and harder to try to find stuff you can actually make a profit on! Especially at thrift stores!
@consignon56318 жыл бұрын
And more people are BROKE every day, so DEMAND for used merch keeps INCREASING exponentially. Pete has two shops, but apparently his new one (in Chicago) is currently selling more than is coming IN... so it seems his 'small town' (with 5- 10x the floor space) is actually getting more merch coming through the front door, so a steady flow of sales, both online and off. I have an IDEA to source things, and AVOID wasting TIME and EFFORT 'searching' for items to resell... I think I may implement it soon, as I went out looking for gold and silver to BUY on more than one occasion... only to run into the same challenges, x 10... At least in a larger metro area there are items to 'pick.' But in smaller towns (like Pete's) there seems to be less COMPETITION, to resell... and far more MERCHANDISE coming through the front door? (Although that likely took two+ years to gain the trust, referrals and repeat business???) And now he's moving a LOT on eBay.com, but 'brick n mortar' stores are only AFFORDABLE in smaller towns I suspect, for start- ups??? (i.e. A good location and adequate floor space, etc.) I'd do say four or more smaller locations, approx. one hour apart, then the BIG CITY store/s... if the no. 2 location proves to be to slow and spendy, to sustain itself.
@consignon56318 жыл бұрын
And as someone pointed out above... GW's EMPLOYEES 'take things' for themselves. (Likely for resale on eBay, etc.) I'd fire anyone doing that, but they likely pay their employees, 'minimum wage?' And if their auction website is any indication... they don't seem to CARE about having a separate web presence, and likely also then resell themselves, on eBay?? Sounds like they need to hire a different CEO???

I used to pick vintage furniture and classic video games about 15 years ago. Goodwill has nothing of value inside the store that isn't already priced beyond what it's worth. They have smartphones too! However, their lot auctions do have some good stuff if you know what you're looking for and you're willing to wade through a lot of crap. I bought a lot for $30 there once, threw 75% of it away in their dumpster, sold half of what was left to some other guy there for $150,and sold the other half of it on eBay for $250. Even still, that's a highly unusual day. Most days you go to 4-5 places and find a couple things you'll make 5-10 bucks on if you're lucky. Like he points out, too many people do this. You get the thrill of the treasure hunt, but there's no money in it.

Just a few observations from doing this myself: never just look at what something is being listed for if you’re using EBay to figure out what something is worth. It’ll be all over the board. Look at what it was sold for to get a true value of what it is worth. And even then your taking a chance. Do as Warren Buffett and buy what you know. And each time you go in take one item that you know nothing about and read up on it. If you leave empty handed at least you learned something. And don’t worry about your “competition”. There’s enough out there for everybody!
