[@FreewayFlippers]

We've been more selective when thrifting. After going through our profits in 2021, we were buying too many low margin items. Thank you for mentioning time to find the item + gas you spend. A lot of people forget to include that!

[@austin750]

2022 content creators have to make Pass videos instead of haul videos, because so few buys are worth it at Greedwill hehe

[@Myfairgirlie]

I don’t like haul video. I feel the reseller need to show you as to why you pick the item in the midst of racks of racks of clothes.

[@Ryinneb77]

Along the lines of VHS tapes is to always be on the look out for the Head Cleaners. I have done really well with those usually picking them up for under $1 and they typically go for $20-$25 and sell VERY fast and cheap to ship.

[@bouncerslabrealnature9143]

I have bought and sold since I could walk, probably why I retired at 40 over 15 years ago . People pick what they are comfortable with at first and slowly expand by watching what others are actually selling. Trends are ok but they don't last, so you must be prepared for the sudden shift... picking new things should feel comfortable , not forced or suggested by just anyone. ⚡👁️

[@Myfairgirlie]

One of your best vlogs! Sourcing and reselling in a nutshell. You are one of the few that always takes us thrifting. As to why you pick not pick up the item while you guys are in the thrift store. You bounce off what you guys think of the item. Greet video. 💕

[@aemiliusmiloramirez8347]

awesome tips Ryan! Ive had amazing luck with mugs, surprisingly tho my starbucks ones have taken longer to sell, but I still pick 'em up. Disney has been amazing pickups for me, I sold a cinderella mug this week for $30 :))) And I also came to learn that Anthropologie mugs designed by certain artists have high value, sold one last year for $50!

[@CommanderBazaar]

Really solid tip on the gooseneck kettles! I'll add one that I've done well with: Electric Woks. I've sold half a dozen West Bend electric woks and I think they've all fetched $100+

[@TheRobq7]

My general rule is 5X the money plus shipping with the realization that I may have to sell it at 3X the money shipped. If there is no profit at that lower number I will pass. The closer I get to the lower number the higher the sell through rate needs to be.

[@michael2943]

This great advice. Very similar to what I do. I love flea markets I always find $1-3 items that would be 8-10 at Goodwill but sell these $1-3 items for 30-50 bucks. I'm breaking off into hand tools more. That's what's available in my area. Finding items that are always available in your area is great.

[@markalese]

This was a wonderful video Ryan! Love the explainers for each dud and the honest lessons learned. Growth mindset, learning from both the downs and ups. :)

[@TeenageSweater]

been running a little vintage mug hustle because I found a thrift nearby that sells flawless ones for 25 cents lol 🙏🏼❤️

[@bouncerslabrealnature9143]

Don't ruin it for yourself, others will happily destroy your supply by buying them all up.

[@michael2943]

This changes the game when you find items cheaper locally than others can . I always see aluminum and glass lids to saucepans and crock pots for .25 , I'm l going to look into them , I know I'm missing out but don't know how much

[@ivangies6314]

Thanks for the great info! I thought my Good Will was high, but your GW prices SU$k$😾

[@jmidu8310]

Great video!! We’d also like to see the items you list that don’t sell, how much you lower the price, and what you end up doing with them if they just don’t sell. Is there a minimum you’ll sell them for.

[@jessicarobertson84]

ok but now we need a RalliGardens channel or series because those plants are impressive

[@RubberWilbur]

when I go into Goodwill I always carry my own giant carrying bag on me. I do this because a shopping cart makes it difficult to maneuver and go through the lanes. I can carry a lot in giant bag. Also it makes it easier for me to throw the first item that I can make money into it. Because before I would go into Goodwill and see one Item and not be motivated to grab it because I had no bag then I would walk out missing good deals if I just focused on the store.

[@ohno1017]

Over just the last few months goodwills prices are going crazy. Anything that has value is priced at 80% of ebay comps. Almost like they're looking at ebay when they price things. I've bn going to goodwill less and less

[@Catch-qn3xh]

That's been happening for a few years now. There's a lot of vids talking about it. They're very greedy. I go to the 50% off days and drop a few bills, which gives me months of merch to list!

[@Jabruzar]

We have a goodwill here that was taping screen prints of eBay comps to electronics items while listing about 15-20% below the quoted comp. I don’t waste my gas going to that goodwill anymore.

[@ohno1017]

@@Jabruzar lol...yep starting to think goodwill is officially dead as far as reselling. The employees buy the good stuff as it gets dropped off. Week ago saw the guy outside buy pair LL bean boots 3.99$.

[@Jabruzar]

@@ohno1017 I have 3 other Goodwills within 20 miles of my house that are still producing. Sooner or later, they will learn that it’s the resellers keeping them in business.

I absolutely love watching you, Allie and Callie. You give out some of the best information for reseller out there today. Keep up the good work and never change. Love you guys!!!

[@whitebathroomguy]

Or you can use Google Lens, take a picture of item and usually tell you the value

[@kevinbrown1246]

I appreciate this video so much! As a part time reseller, I have to go after work and I am finding that the market is so flooded with resellers now, that I think most all the "good" stuff is gone before I get there at 4:00. So I have been reduced to only low end items and it is not been good lately. Knowing what NOT to buy helps a ton! Thanks! Keep up the great work!

[@TheHelixballerone]

Thanks for the information. Can you show, step by step, on how to check the " sold comps " on Ebay?

[@hightierthreads6304]

Gonna start looking at kettles!

[@PedroGonzalez-pv4mp]

I usually only source for sneakers and clothes since that’s what I’ve had the best luck with in my area but I’ve been watching you guys for a long time now and I’ve learned so much from every video! Especially the ones like these thank you so much and keep up the great content 💪🏽

[@stevenhoag1716]

I know this video was a departure from your normal routine, but I found this to be far more informative. Thank you.

[@plantlady267]

This exactly what I needed to start off the new year. I know some of this stuff but like most people I need to be reminded. You all continue to be amazing! Love you all so much!

[@bouncerslabrealnature9143]

Yeah, good luck with 1% of the information you receive.

[@steventerry593]

I've noticed the last 10 years or so that Goodwill has become WAY too expensive. So much so, that I don't even go there anymore. Other, less greedy thrift stores are much better. Many times I've seen used items for sale at Goodwill that are far less expensive when purchased at Wal-Mart or Dollar stores! It's hard to believe they are even classified as a "non-profit" organization. Their executives earn exorbitant salaries and employees are paid bare minimum and aren't treated well in my opinion. They may employee those with "barriers to employment" such as the disabled and ex-cons but they aren't really a "charity" in the sense of providing food, housing, shelter, clothing , disaster relief, or free drug and alcohol treatment to those in need. I would much rather give to and shop at thrift stores operated by organizations that do.

[@laurasprague6940]

The Goodwill i go to has a color of the week-50% off. Wednesdays are 99¢ day for clothes with the week’s color tag. So I now wait until Wednesday to buy clothing unless the brand is a sure sell.

[@DrWelp]

Love your videos, but, gads, please lose that fugly sleeveless shirt.

[@RALLIROOTS]

welp...

[@JanBee1122]

Sounds to me like that particular Goodwill was cutting out the middle man and clearly doesn't want to sell to re-sellers. I would avoid a place that did that, let them see how well they do when they chase away 65% of their likely clientelle.

[@TheSteinmetzen]

When it comes to electronics, Goodwill has absolutely no ethics in checking electronics devices. About 3 in 100 have worked for me.

[@MountainManTreasure]

Great idea breaking down the stay aways.

[@АукционыСиэтл]

Bro have u ever thought about buying storages? I can give you some tips how to get storages with x20-x40 profit easy

[@RALLIROOTS]

For sure :) we used to buy a lot of them years ago, just a bit too much work for us.

[@figuresix]

Just a heads up. In my area Washington state, we are now putting out new items through out the day, not just in the morning, or closing times. We (me being a manager at a goodwill) found that if we put things out through out the day, it gets people in a few times a day. I have one guy who shows up before opening. Comes back around 1pm, and again at 6pm. We get so much product at my store we have to keep it going out on floor, so not to have to send out to warehouse to go to other stores.

[@RALLIROOTS]

Nice!

[@babyalikinz]

Thanks for the heads up! I'm in WA also, what area??

[@vancwa07]

I’m in Vancouver, you should lower the prices a bit

[@theresakralik1820]

I am in Kansas City. Our stores put items out closer to 11 and then every two hours after that. We have 5 or 6 stores. Each has a different style of merchandise depending on the area area. One storw may have older vintage and antique items where another will have high-end clothing and household goods. Each has a different schedule for putting out new merchandise. You are correct in saying know your stores, learn them, and then set your course accordingly.

[@StephiesBeadsandBaubles]

I really enjoyed this video and learned a lot from it. My husband and I have sold part time on eBay since 2002 but have only sold a couple different categories , and We are trying to get outside our comfort zones, so it is fun to learn what to look for and what is not worth our time ! Thank you ! 😁

[@kare2165]

This was great content and watching KZbin helped me flip $30 to $800-and I left $$$ on the table:( ........... I purchased three 1996 sealed Super Star Wars for Super Nintendo video games for $10 each. Just sold the last one for $450. Could have gotten more for the other 2 but I (a non-gamer) was happy to have been savvy enough to pick them up.

[@christopher-gardner]

I predict certain DVD's and Blu Rays will become highly sought after one day because of the bonus features, you don't get those on Netflix and I suspect people will hear about how certain DVD's have awesome bonus features for fans of that particular film.

[@peterscauzillo9443]

Polo shirts at my Goodwill went from 4.19 to 6.99 Hawaiian shirts went from 4.19 to 8.99

[@terirutherford2935]

Our Goodwills price up Starbucks mugs, then, again, this is Seattle so they know values.

[@deztroyer76]

So don’t buy stuff that’s not profitable. Got it.

[@RALLIROOTS]

Lol simple

[@SK8R43]

Ive got a sealed rudolph VHS clamshell....too bad its not an expensive one. Its in near mint condition and ive had it for 20 years. Maybe one day it will be rare XD

[@scotthowerton9768]

Allot of popular KZbin resellers make videos picking up allot of bad items and overpaying for low sell through items. I think they make these videos for content. It’s refreshing to hear you talk about things not to buy! Keep up the good work Ryan

[@RALLIROOTS]

100% you’re right on the money there. Pun intended 😉

The helmet tip is a general rule of thumb for evening buying for personal use. If a helmet is used, you never know the structure integrity of it and if it'll even hold up enough to protect all that gray matter of yours. stay safe, don't buy used helmets ever.

I scaled it up very quickly in 6 months and became a top-rated seller thank you for having input into that.

[@nancyrachar1985]

I live in Canada. the area is not heavily populated so it is a long drive to even one Goodwill, as of Jan 1st, they have more than doubled the prices on shoes and every other item has been pumped up about 30%, so I have to become more creative about where to find items. There are no garage sales because we have 2 feet of snow currently...lol. I did find online auctions within an hour drive for picks ups after I buy. Facebook Marketplace is also something I have started to buy through. Our postage fees here are easily double the cost of USPS so it is difficult to buy an item and list it on eBay in a way to make a profit but I keep trying. Ryan, you said to keep an open mind about what you might sell successfully, I think in today's market, that is the best advice, thank you!

[@NurmYokai]

Used computer mice are like used tires. The remaining life and usefulness of that mouse is inversely proportional to prior amount of use. And/or you're buying the problems that the prior user had, causing it to be donated. Unless you're bundling it with a computer, or one is willing to refurbish the mouse, it's not worth buying for resale.

I love it that you tell us why you did not buy certain items. I learn. I also have common sense and stopped watching another channel where the husband and wife bought shoes that have flaws, like loose soles. They also have not figured out that they work harder for less money because they do not concentrate on profit percentages. They would have bought those jeans and been happy with a $10 profit.

Now I'm in any category that can make money. Nothing against other KZbinrs but some out there are telling new people to start in 1 lane and stay in it. But in the end there's gonna be days you find nothing. Keep up the good work.
