Ebay Resellers and Garage Sale Vultures

[@OriginalNethead]

Vultures are the good guys in nature; they clean up messes others leave behind.

Love this comment!

[@bentleystarkweather9670]

I was allowed access to a church rummage sale the day before it opened while they were setting up. I paid all asking prices. I found out after, that my purchases totaled over 25% of the total sales they had from 3 days of sales. 1 buyer compared to how many over the 3days.

[@kimberlycampbell537]

Kevin, the first thing you say when you are making an offer is “ I will not get mad if you do not accept my offer”. You are never pushy, demanding or rude. I have been watching you for quite some time and NEVER miss a video of yours. You give to charities, Churches and causes. You are a kind, thoughtful and decent human. You look for deals for your business. We appreciate all you do for reselling and general knowledge of what to look for and what to pass on. You do not in anyway resemble the “ vulture” . I think the person writing that article used up their adjectives and verb collection! Have a blessed week. Love from your biggest Canuck Fan🇨🇦

[@RuthMorgan-yh8mq]

I will agree with you 100%. Kevin has always been respectful nice. No, he would never be a vulture. He always tells them that if you don't like my offer I won't get mad. So whoever wrote that is just jealous or whatever Kevin is a wonderful man. God bless you, Kevin, you and your family.

Ohh please, of course he is nice, he wants something for nothing, what you expect m for him to be rude to the sellers and expect a good deal, do you think anyone is going to give him any discount after if he was rude, life doesnt work that way, i never met kevin, but i met some of his fellow youtubers, and they were not as nice as they seen behind the camera

[@tomy2.0-]

@ I agree with you, my friend, but I don’t think Kevin should be judged by actions of his friends and I agree with you. I don’t like all of Kevin‘s minions either one in particular, I am really trying to find something good about this person, but it’s very hard and I actually can’t stand them lol but I think Kevin is pretty genuine. I mean look at the things he does for and with his family. Bottom line it is a business. I don’t think Kevin is overly aggressive if I had a yard sale and anyone came along that was rude. Id tell them to kick rocks not gonna deal with it but a profit is a profit has to be made if you wanna stay in business its American Way L O L

[@adyscript]

Exactly. It’s the same in some fb groups. If they get a whiff that you’re a reseller, you’re out. Resellers are the ones that know how to get your stuff into the hands of someone who wants it, and will frequently (not always) give you a fair price or pay your asking price if it makes sense.

I have heard this so many times myself. I dislike resellers? I wanna yell, hmmm do you want to sell stuff fast or do you want to all the work involved to list on Ebay.

I went to a hard sale couple weeks ago. They guy included 77 pics in his ad with great prices..sale starts 7am saturday. I show up at 6:45 thinking i dont want to be rude and show up to early, so i get there and half the stuff already gone! Turns out some people showed at 6am which is rude in my opinion, and even worse he said couple people showed up friday knocking on his door asking if they can look and buy! People like this have no class or morals and dont care.

[@waitestreasures4264]

Coordinated our annual neighborhood garage sale this past Saturday. I am a reseller and I use this to get rid of stale inventory and to encourage community. Our sale started at 7:30. We had the aggressive buyers waiting at 6am. They ducked under our caution tape, blocked the road picked stuff out of other peoples piles and all kinds of crappy behaviour. But, I sold them a lot of stuff at a bargain price and then we could relax and enjoy the rest of the sale. In the end, we hauled a truck load of unsold treasures to the closest thrift store and my eBay shed feels so much better. I felt a bit ambushed by their behavior but I got rid of stuff.

[@CherylAnnRose]

In the late 80’s my friend and I bought furniture and housing decor to furnish our first homes. We went to a wealthy area of Orange County where the residents were continually renovating and or redesigning their homes. The incredible deals we got! Of course, that was before the internet and reselling online. It was amazing how these wealthy people were so willing to get rid of items that were still selling for hundreds in the retail stores. Those were the days.

[@lisaruiz6799]

Years ago, I had some folks pull up to my yard sale. Mind you, I *was* trying to get rid of things, but I also told them, 'C'mon, I'm also trying to make a *little* bit of money as well and not to be ripped off because I understood the value of things we had." They offered a set price, we agreed. Basically, they ripped us off, however, not completely. I told them the set price which we all agreed on. But, they wanted to pay $100 then and then the rest when they could. I gave them a set deadline. And so much per week to pay or I'll get rid of the stuff myself. They paid $100 for the stuff they got that day. Never called me back. I didn't mind because they didn't get everything they wanted. Years later, we ran into one of them at the store and they apologized for not coming and getting the rest of the stuff.

They used to sell those "doctor bags" at the base exchange (the PX) on Army bases. A lot to trainees going though boot camp bought them.

[@CarolNine]

Kevin, I enjoyed your video so much! It was hilarious, listening to what that guy wrote - vultures, leaping gates, invading, equipment! ROFL! I had so many laughs that I really needed for a change! I am proud to be an invader. I take equipment (loupe, cellphone, and IKEA bag). I do not take books. That would be ridiculous! I am polite and do not try to talk people down on their prices unless they have something marked more than I can afford to pay. I do not arrive more than 5-10 minutes early and I ask if it is o.k. to come in early if they look ready for business. I do not pace. I do not jump gates (I could not do this if I tried!). I agree with everything you said. If the seller and buyer are happy with a price, there is nothing bad about the deal. They could always look up the going rates for things before their sales if they want, just like we do.

I was in my favorite local charity thrift shop and I overheard one of the workers refer to resellers as vultures. I thought, once I’ve paid for it and it’s mine it shouldn’t matter to anyone what I do with it.

I am now a reseller amateur level with this n that in around my home. In the past I have hoped my yard sale event would bring resellers absolutely because if I can sell out to an individual and be relieved of all the work. Yes please hope for a reseller to attend. I've been called by people inquiring and sold to them day before the yard sale. One thing I know is an honest reseller will make it worth my time. As a reseller I will exercise my own personal experience taught to me by an honest reseller. Keep us informed Kevin. Appreciate you and the time and work you bring. ❤

Does he want us to go to the sale and see a good deal and try to pay more for it so we make less? It’s a competition, just like everything else in the world! I mean his complete grievances are on how he despises “ garage sale vultures”… easy fix…DON’T GO! Either he got burned by selling things way too cheap at his own garage sale, and then saw the amazing prices some things are worth on a later show ( he could have looked the items up himself, as we all do….or he is just a very unhappy person!

[@theresab4644]

In reality most unsold items end up in the landfill. Garage sale sellers are trying to make a few bucks n clear out some space. I think they are happy to sell to anyone that has cash in hand . They set the price and they decide if a discount is given etc. I dont see where the problem is.

[@vampire64]

There are good and bad apples everywhere. Some garage sellers string their web, hoping to catch and rip buyers off. They know their designer handbags, video games, and jewelry are fake, or an item shown on the box is not the same item inside the box, or something has been broken but repaired and won't disclose this information.

I went to a sale, got there early, waited in my car till almost the time it started. Made a line when someone else got there, the lady said I could come in early, but when I got in there, most everything I had saw in the pictures that I wanted was gone. She said she sold it the day before. If I had known that, I would not have wasted my time on this sale. THAT is rude and wrong. The lady should have stuck to the time, day she said.

[@OriginalNethead]

You might be a vulture if....you're me, according to the article writer.(LOL) I tend to get there early; as a jewelry "girl" if you don't get there early you get nothing. (If there's anything to get, which these days there usually isn't.) I'll make a bulk buy if there's one to be had..good luck these days although it's happened. There's a loupe in my purse, but I usually just pull my glasses down and read marks. Most regulars here are collectors or resellers, and we buy a LOT. Do we want gold for costume prices..doesn't everybody if they're honest about it? If you don't want to sell gold as costume, check things first! The regulars ask politely and do NOT bang on doors or enter unbidden; there's a limit. On the other hand: There's a lady (or female) here whose real name I don't know and honestly am just as glad. She's perpetually rude to anyone she thinks is a competitor, which is everyone, and rude to the sellers too. She's always looking for valuables, and chews people down from prices that were already cheap. Not happy when she can't. She's only happy if she thinks she's getting one up on YOU and I've yet to meet another regular in this area who has a kind word to say about her or the guy she lives with. Zero. Me either, and that takes real work. There are others out there looking for a good deal, but there's a limit. She goes over the local one with great regularity. I like turkey vultures; they clean up things we don't want to touch. Her? Vultures don't want to be associated with her.

[@bethmcmullan7686]

I think when we are knowledgable about any topic, we can often lose sight of what the layman knows about it. You're tending here to think that everyone is thinking as a reseller would (i.e. from a position of knowledge that the items are worth a lot more, but it's more convenient to sell at a garage sale OR that they simply don't care how much they're worth and just want rid). That isn't the case, and I think where people do end up feeling uncomfortable is when it is clear that someone, through no fault of their own (perhaps an elderly person who has no internet access) doesn't know what their items are worth, and wouldn't sell them so cheaply if they did know the value. That, to me, is where things start getting uncomfortable. I can see in those cases why people feel resellers 'take advantage' of people.

FB market place can be a big pain. Tried to give away a big box of free groceries.

Everyone of the wanters said that was to much money for almost $200 worth of groceries. So asked the lady who was willing to deliver for just about her cost if she could use it.

Vultures "ripping off sellers": any item is only 'worth' what can be achieved in the circumstances. If a seller wants to get eBay prices they are free to go ahead and list it there. Since listing is now free (for private sales in the UK) the barriers are low to entry. If sellers want the convenience (and lack of fees) of a garage sale (or car boot sale here) then they have to either accept a lower price or still be sitting on their goods at the end of the day. Resellers address a national or international audience, pay platform fees, accept the risks and costs of shipping and take responsibility for any errors or flaws. We trade on reputation; however flawed the eBay feedback system, it still gives some reassurance to buyers. By contrast, how many yard sale venders are going to refund that VCR 30 days later that "was working when last used" when it actually does nothing other than chew tapes?

Overall most people are easy going but social media has killed trust because (no offense to youtubers) a lot of yall use your platforms as a means to feel entitled to stuff because you have a camera. On the flip side, reselling is a lot of work and if you are hosting a yard sale you need to expect people to flip your items. If you are worried someone will make more than you, you are already setting yourself up for failure.

Is this where we pretend sellers at garage and estate sales are sad victims because they don't own smart phones and can't sell online themselves? They aren't. They don't want to do that. They just want to offload, make a little cash and not fill another landfill. Those sellers don't need armchair social media heroes screwing up their quick money gig. And, don't get me started on the huge revenue thrifts make on resellers who, in turn, provide a service by selling people the unique and/or less expensive items they're looking for online.

What a ridiculous argument, if they set the price and you pay that price it's 100& fair even if you barter and they agree on a lower price it's still fair. They are talking like resellers back up their cars load it up and take off without paying lol. Also resellers do a ton of research to know the profits margins which is public knowledge that anyone can learn, if they're too lazy to research their products then that's on them. Nobody told they have to sell at garage sales either, if they want full price for items then sell online like resellers and wait for the item to sell, but the whole point of a garage sale is to move everything in one day which is only happening if prices are super low... I bet the only people whining are people who had garage sales then saw someone local selling the same item on market place for twice as much lol but most garage sale sellers just want their stuff gone and could care less.

What a joke, the price you pay is 100% fair, not even close, he haggles on something they are asking $5.00 when he k ows he can resell for $100, very fair huh

lol get your buddy's to set up a road block at the end of the street so nobody else can get to the garage sale. Before the internet people used to rip down the garage sale signs so nobody else would know about them Muahaha

Sold 392 units vs 387 from last year so flat in comparison of this years growth for my store. But my ASP is much higher this year. $17653 vs $15677 last year. Continuing to buy a ton of inventory to help offset my tax liability.

Whoever wrote this message, you should be ashamed of yourself. You have no idea what you’re talking about and your stereotyping a whole group of people on one experience you may have had or may have just seen on KZbin. I can’t tell you how many families have thanked me for the amount of money I spent at their garage sale because they needed it for costs related to a family member that passed away and the money was crucial for that family and that’s just one example but this is why election went the way it did is this type of thinking?
