Fall 2024 Warehouse Sale Part 3: The Disaster is Complete

[@Cold_Hard_Truth]

Running a business is very difficult. Overhead and payroll are killers. That's why many resellers make it a true home business.

[@emilasmith4279]

So next sale set up a couple tables together and put charcoal, gloves, wipes, cleaners, rubber gloves etc and put a big banner across the top saying to “stock up on disaster prep items” or some such saying. Other things like flashlights etc. ❤

[@OldManAndTheTree]

I can’t believe the sales have been going on for 5 years already. Jeez, time goes by fast

[@ac6822]

Why don't you have more pallet racking? You have plenty of upward space available and it would make things more organized in your warehouse. You might even be able to reduce the number of suites you are renting.

[@Cold_Hard_Truth]

I agree. I see a lot of wasted space here. Just need the right equipment to hoist it and retrieve it though. And be safe!

[@jjjustin17favs]

People will spend 2 dollars more per item to have it sent threw amazon so people arent goin to deive someone just to save a couple bucks. Need more inventory so the kids the husband and wife all have stuff to look at.

[@GuyWithTheDogs]

"through" "Amazon" "aren't" "going" "drive"

[@jjjustin17favs]

The lack of inventory and deals have caught up to the times. If people have been and have not been impressed chances are they wont return.

[@pickinforalivin]

sorry the sales aren't going well. But I know you of all people know how to pivot.

[@debbiefreeman9481]

The post office, after they close for the day, dispatches all the mail to the mail processing center. Your package you brought to the post office at closing time goes with that mail.

[@8675steve]

Sounds like a big issue is not knowing what you have in the warehouse and not getting it on the sales floor.

[@ChristopherBell-v6i]

You are a rockstar . I did notice that your earlier sales had more staples ... think that area is key

[@debbiefreeman9481]

You can paste you greeting over that add on the Christmas card. Dollar Tree has fun to use thin double sided roll of tape in their crafting section.

[@lifelongcollector1737]

I have enjoyed watching your videos for years but i do regularly think that your entire warehouse space (including the office & ebay area) looks like a bomb site. To me if you just organised your stock more efficiently & logically you could reduce the amount of space that you need to rent (& stop misplacing stock items). Also, if you are still renting storage units that you have not cleared out that is an easy job to reduce your monthly costs as well. I know that it is easy to be critical but i do mean this constructively.

The Powershot cameras from Canon (and a few other models of theirs) can be flashed with a custom firmware - search for CHDK firmware... it allows to use them for long time lapse shots , add raw support, remote control them etc etc so that could explain why some models keep their price well.

You didn't have enough product but you have pallets that you are holding on to? Like the monitors should be out every opportunity. Put EVERYTHING out. Toilet seats, chocolate, even Christmas hot chocolate bombs... Even if you sold 10% of them, it's still additional sales

[@jjjustin17favs]

Yep. Paying rent money on the warehouse to store it for a year should be factored into the profit. As well as the original cost that isnt producing a profit for a year.

[@vinyl1Earthlink]

Many eBay sellers sell their merch on eBay, since that doesn't cost them any additional money. What you need in your wallet is an Air Tag.

[@ScotiaAnthony-t5y]

And the AirTag would make a nice round bulge in the wallet! 😂😂😂😂

Oh and you make me laugh too. We're buying liquidation pallets and reselling but that has really dried up around here

[@SHERRY0010]

Buy as much food product as you can . That’s what people want . Great prices on food . Everyone looks for great deals on food these days . If your sales are down , other liquidation outlets must be down as well . The one you visited , bad choice for location .

[@timothydoyle5474]

Have you thought about doing a pop up sale two day across town. Maybe find an empty play for a one time sale twice a year. Use a different name for the sale. Just to see what happens, Idea. or make a deal with a local dollar store to buy from you.

[@GuyWithTheDogs]

Customer counts are down all across the retail spectrum, as about 79% of us are buying more and more of our essentials on line, these days. You saw the trend early on when you were concentrating more on clearing out the companies that couldn't survive the drop in customer counts and sales volume, and now even Big Lots! has declared Chapter 11 bankruptcy and is closing hundreds of stores. They are essentially a giant version of your business. I'm not talented enough to see over the horizon, but the next big thing that you will be doing is out there...somewhere. Full disclosure: For years and years I was a weekly Pic 'n' Save shopper...and graduated to Big Lots! when they took over Pick 'n' Save. Then there was Covid, and I haven't been inside a retail store (or restaurant) since March 2020. Apparently, I am not alone...and I think a lot of your missing customer base is right there with me.

[@GuyWithTheDogs]

And now: Walgreens has announced that they will be closing 1200 stores...and a few days ago, 7-Eleven announced the closing of over 400 stores. Times they are a-changin' in the land of retail.

Older digital cameras usually have CCD image sensors instead of CMOS. CCD takes sharper images than CMOS. Those older cameras were *expensive* and usually had big, glass, high quality lenses.

[@lisasorce2258]

You are always SO entertaining! Love the videos!

[@davec8921]

Years ago I was buying Canon PowerShot A95 cameras for way more than they were worth because we had the fully weatherproof case for them and used them for taking 100k+ used car photos

[@happyhoursports99]

I feel you need to look at appearance see what people see instead of what you feel is fine. Why is the business a mess? The business is a mess because the business is functioning in a mess. The warehouse is a mess, the sale floor during the sale is a mess, the eBay area is a mess. And it’s not 2014 anymore how are you only promoting on Facebook? You can be doing so much better I believe in you!

Yes. I have purchased from you and a long time subscriber. Just under a new name now. But I’ll act surprised if I get one!

[@LatitudeSky]

Need one of your store shirts. So I can visit my local liquidation store and intimidate them. They often bid and lose at those same Georgia pallet auctions so they definitely fear Resale Rabbit. Your face walking through their store would probably get me banned, wait a minute.

42:39 I know why. I had one like that but A530 and they take the BEST photos especially clear macro. Manual or auto. easy to grip one handed with that design too. the A630 holds two extra batteries so for me a bit heavy, but still a great camera.

I figure people are so stretched wither dollars Mate that they focused on their essentials currently. So, any retail is a tough gig.

With keeping chargers and the like back. I do this now, started after having to buy one about a week after I sold that exact one. Always worth keeping them, I don't keep remotes apart from Panasonic or Humax. Never have enough of those.

[@sythompson9331]

I still think you need to drop liquidation sale name and go with more exciting names for your sales- also an ad in local papers or flyers about a week before the sale starts -

[@LatitudeSky]

Suggested the same before. Many people don't know what "liquidation sale" means. Those who know, know. But someone who's never been might not. Wisconsin Deals Center sounds better to me. Or be trendy, Dealzzz.

[@susananthony2366]

Is the local paper still in print?

[@nickmoney]

I watch every video then multiple times after in background of work but never bought from you. Almost bought the Back to the Future newspaper a few years ago but they sold out a few minutes before. You probably have my address since I've sent a few things.

[@Miguel-Arias]

Would it make sense for you to downsize the warehouse in order to cut down your monthly expenses? You said something about maybe stopping the warehouse sales anyways.

[@NoWayNeverAgain]

Do you fear for the business at this point or is it a question of just giving up on the warehouse sales?

[@JeffStewart78..]

If your next sale is Christmas stuff and you dont use the sale space. Why not setup the sale area for the Christmas one to see what areas you need to fill for each sale amount. Pull everything for the sale out of the back then you could target shop the auctions. You or someone could setup pallets or Gaylords for each sale amount.

I googled what Coco Pebbles are and see they can be a crunchy bar or a packet of cereal .Coco Pebbles and Coco Crisps seem to be the most popular . Coco Pops is available on Amazon but my friends in America and Canada do not know what know what I am talking about when I say " I am having a bowl of Coco Pops or Rice Bubbles for breakfast.

"Comment, even if you want to be mean to me". 😂😂😂

[@vacuumandgaspressurecoexisting]

A lot of those old digicams share batteries between brands and can be had cheap from our friends in China, same with chargers. I find that if I have a camera that has some value it sells easier if I inform about the battery being new in the listings. I also have some generic cheapo card-readers that can come in handy if the camera has some obscure proprietary memory card or are lacking cables. Memory cards is something to take into consideration as well, adding an SD card can convince a potential buyer. Also, some of those old memory cards have value on their own. XD-cards for instance that were used by fujifilm and Olympus for a period of time can be swapped with adapters that take micro-sd cards that are way cheaper. Keep the xd-cards for those cameras that absolutely need it as some don't accept the adapters and use the adapters for those that do. Sell the 1-2gb cards on their own to maximize profit.

[@vinyl1Earthlink]

Those odd hours at the new liquidation store? They scream Orthodox to me - off to shul every Friday evening. I can't think of any other possible explanation.

[@ScotiaAnthony-t5y]

I’m not Orthodox but yeah, wouldn’t work on Friday night or Saturday. Suppose they could be Seventh Day Adventist also. There are also some Christians who have appropriated Jewish holidays so that’s another possibility! 😂I

[@rhino-6168]

hi.

[@OldManBadly]

Okay, I am far away and not privy to your current market, but I think your process is failing for simple reasons that are fixable. First off, too many sales. Your warehouse sales should be big events, maybe 3 times a year (spring, back to school / halloween, and Christmasy time like just after thanksgiving). Hit times when people are already out shopping and promote hard with items that fit the time well. Give people a reason to show up (low prices isn't enough, you are competing with dollar general and such if you are just on price). Second is too many days. Midweek days are not great days for much of anything. Retail consumer are friday, saturday, sunday type people. Your best sales have been on shorter time frames. They are also easier for you to manage and do. If you want a fourth day, you might consider a contractor / builder day with things like tools and other stuff you have around at great "cash" prices. Third, and this one is super important: Improve the layout and display of items, and get a lot more items into the sale area. Tables are nice, but some sort of two level shelving would help you show more things. It should take people a while to look around. Check the video, check the stay time, where people go and where they don't go. Final one is harder: Mix of goods. While I know you enjoy the sales in Georgia and you are getting a lot of good stuff, there isn't as much variety in them. Your best sales have things like makeup and personal items. Store returns for this stuff has got to be a great source. Even if it isn't as profitable as a pallet of leaf blowers, it is a way to get people in the sale and buying things. No loss leaders, just bulking up on the things that get people to see the other things you are offering. Don't kill yourself with the sales. They are trending down and therefore you have to accept that change is good.

[@DrifterThrifters]

Lol phone is waaaaaaaaay faster, dunno how you think that 😅

[@ResaleRabbit]

Experience, mostly.

[@lilred9483]

I am just curious??? Why do you do free shipping???

[@ResaleRabbit]

Because shipping doesn’t matter. If I buyer is willing to pay $40 for something, it doesn’t matter if you list it $40 plus shipping or $30+$10 shipping, it’s the same $40. Items with free shipping tend to perform better on eBay, so we just build the shipping into the price. The shipping cost is usually very easy to predict, with the exception of really large or heavy items. On those items, it can very greatly depending on how far it’s going, so we do calculated shipping on those exceptionally large or heavy items.
