How I Make $5,100/Day Reselling Used Clothing Online 2023 (Ebay, Poshmark, Mecari)

Although I do agree w others that mentioned the clickbait title, u did go on to clarify, but more importantly, u explained ur system and went on to walk us through ur item processing.

Thank you so much! I appreciate the kind words 🙏

[@suejensen9051]

I would advise you take a business class before trying to tell others that you make $5100 a day. That’s HORRIBLE false advertising. You got inventory with an estimated VALUE of $5100 in one day, not including COGS, fees, shipping, etc. You then go on to confirm your average sell thru rate is 90 days, but what about the pieces that don’t sell? What about offers or discounts? Ugh.

[@vintagebyjacob]

Thank you for your comment! I really appreciate your input. The title reflects that I added $5,100 in inventory value to my business today. I did my best to explain that in the video. I completely understand the sentiment of your comment. In my efforts to grow this youtube channel I am on an endless journey of making enjoyable/informative videos while trying to create engaging titles and thumbnails. Again I really appreciate your feedback. It's feedback like this that will help tailor my future videos. Thanks again and have a wonderful day 😊

It would be nice to see you work in real time. Photographing 250 items a day sounds great, and I'm interested in seeing how you're able to do all that (1 min per item as you mentioned). That would be really inspiring! Even if it's just 25 items or so, just to get an idea.

[@vintagebyjacob]

I would love to make a video like that! The only thing preventing me from doing something like that is that I film these videos and take photos for my inventory both on my phone. Once I upgrade to a dedicated youtube camera I will surly do that. Maybe I can convince my fiance to let me use her phone to take some time lapses of me working in future videos. Thanks so much for the comment and suggestion. It's going on my list! Have a great day 😀

[@JenniferWillett]

@@vintagebyjacob do you usually take photos of everything you’ll list for the week all on one day? Then do you make drafts and just list a certain amount each day or do you just take photos and then do listings from scratch each time you sit down to list?

[@Freshhiphopnews]

Pictures are easy once you find a rhythm and a system. I personally just copy and paste what other people have put for the same item and then reword it, but definitely do not do this method if you are newer. Sometimes things look like something else but they are not. Also this is like a job, while you might be thinking being your own boss is fun, if all shit hits the fan you will have no one to blame but yourself. It can take several months if not years to memorize all the vintage tags so definitely do not try this unless you already have a full time job.

[@PawsnPlanet]

🤣😂🤣😂 I was thinking the same.. Was actually thinking, then that means when they buy something, they must not wash it.​@adamnico999

[@lukazupie7220]

I think most of the donated clothes are clean, and when buyer gets it they will wash it again.. if he would do it too, that would be 3 washes without anyone wearing it... Meanwhile new clothes in store can be tried by many people and never cleaned..😀 and didn't come to store clean to begin with, like previous post mentioned.

[@jlp0913]

Do you take measurements? If you don’t, do you get requests for measurements after you’ve listed the item? I dread taking measurements & that’s what keeps me from doing more clothes

[@vintagebyjacob]

Great question! I do not initially take measurements. I prefer to take requests for measurements. It all comes down to time for my business. I find it more effective to do measurements on the back end for serious buyers rather than upfront. For someone who doesn't process as much inventory as I do I would recommend taking measurements as it is a common request. I expect this to change as I start to hire employees, but for now that's what I do. Thanks for the awesome question! 😀

[@robinluvsbobby]

@@vintagebyjacob I take forever to take measurements, and fabric content. Starting today, I am not going to. I have about 400 items to list, so I'm going to just list and see if I still get sales without taking the extra 5 minutes per to get measurements.

I would think you get more returns without measuring.. and that consumes some time also.

[@EverySingleDollar]

To all the doubters, making $5100 on those 300 items is absolutely doable. He has an ASP of $17 and some of those items will sell for a lot more than that. Maybe the title was a little clickbaity....should be more like "How I Add $5,100 of inventory to my Store in One day." If you're a reseller that title is still engaging because sourcing 300 items in one day is hard freaking work. Good job, Jacob!

[@vintagebyjacob]

Thank you so much for the kind and supportive comment! I have a strong chin, I don't mind the negative feedback. It will help me make better videos in the future! I really appreciate the support. I'm happy you understand the context of the video! Thanks again and have a wonderful day 😊

[@Quickdraw1111]

Do you ACTUALLY believe he is selling 300 items a day, every day?? If he is making "$5100 a day" and he is doing this every day, 5 days a week (20 days per month), then that would add up to $1,224,000 per year! Do you REALLY believe this guy is making $1,224,000 per year selling some alleged massive amount of clothes, each day, all by himself? (Or even with a helper, of which I don't remember him saying anyone is even helping him)? He is HUGELY misleading people with the title of this video. He keeps posting that he says in the video that he "added $5100 inventory" that day, and THAT is how he came up with the "$5100" number. Again, this is SO misleading. What he ACTUALLY did was this: He spent $480 on clothes ("$1.60 per item" he says) that he HOPES will EVENTUALLY sell at an average of $17 per item. With all these facts in mind, this video is a joke.

[@theresourcerie]

I watched this a year ago so I don’t remember what he said, but I can speak for myself. My average sell price is $32. I list 25 a day and sell 25 a day. I work part-time and have 1 girl who takes my photos. I source and list by myself. In two hours at the bins I can get between 40-50 items.

[@Quickdraw1111]

@@theresourcerie Congratulations. You're doing very well. BUT, are you doing anywhere near $1.2 million per year, as the guy in video essentially alleges he is doing (and all by himself, he suggests)?? If you add up the numbers he gives in his video - along with his claim of making "$5100 a day" - then that is how I calculated how he essentially claims he is making $1.2 million per year selling used clothes (and again, doing ALL that inventory and work -- ALL by himself, without any help). I am not making a point about him being better than you. Quite the contrary. I am making the point that if you (or anyone else) believes his joke video, then, as the old saying goes, "I got a bridge in Brooklyn that I'd like to sell you".

Love this video! You find some great items at the bins! Do you see a bump in traffic and sales when you list a bunch of items in one day, as opposed to the same amount of items each day? (For example listing 30 items in 1 day instead of 5 items each day over 6 days) Also, would you consider doing a 2022 recap of your business, including your gross sales and net profit total and also broken down by platform and which ones you had the most success with? I’ve seen other resellers do this on KZbin and not only was it helpful but it attracted a lot of attention 😊

[@vintagebyjacob]

Thanks so much for the comment! I really appreciate it! Fantastic question! Personally I find it more effective to get everything listed as fast as possible. It might not be the most optimized method for getting the most traffic but I always like to stay ahead of my inventory. That is a great video idea! I am definitely interested in making a recap video!

Advice , you should be more descriptive in your video about listing. Congrats on having a business and inventory of projected cost. Maybe your are one of the few who avg 17 dollars per item, but I can tell you just on the items you mentioned, I also have posted similar brands and took more then 6 months to sell. Also 1 min per item to list is not correct. Yes people have a system, but you still have to look, cross reference, weight the items, etc and by the time it’s been 6-10 mins. Templates help when you cross different apps, but would like to see the video on how you actually do 1 min listings. Not hating just being real. Thanks for sharing your experience.

Just going to keep it real as someone who does 6 figures in pre-owned clothing with a very high STR. I'm highly skeptical of the claim of listing 250 items after sourcing 300 at the bins all in one day. The return rate must be astronomical because that's simply front, back, tag, logo, wrap, done. No washing (bins notoriously have smelly/dirty clothing), no measurements (used clothing typically shrinks or expands depending on the wash history and size of previous owner), no title optimization, no price research, no item specifics -- you're going to have items sitting forever unless you just run all at auction. The prices you mentioned were very optimistic coming from experience. Not trying to hate, but this video is just very much unrealistic and not what one should expect. A much more realistic and profitable goal is to source 30 or so very good items a day and list about that amount per day. That's a manageable amount and is easily 6 figures with a low return rate and good customer service. This model is a good way to have thousands of items that will never sell, tons of returns, and lots of negative feedback.

[@Quickdraw1111]

Someone posted in which she said: "My average sell price is $32. I list 25 a day and sell 25 a day. I work part-time and have 1 girl who takes my photos. I source and list by myself. In two hours at the bins I can get between 40-50 items." My question to you (because you are in this business) is: What is the likelyhood that someone can have an average selling price of $32 for a used article of clothing? Doesn't that seem VERY high for a USED article of clothing?

[@criticalmassiveenterprise]

​@@Quickdraw1111 It's actually very doable in used clothing. You just have to be pickier about what you sell. But don't think in terms of "every item I get has to be selling for $30...", it's much easier to think in terms of, " 1) I'm going to sell a lot of basic, run of the mill items that are widely available but desirable ($7-$15/profit -- pay $1-$3 and sell for $10 to $20+shipping) 2) I'm going to find some items that were bad buys and I just break even on or only make a few bucks ($0-$6 or even a loss of money--just move them, they take up physical space and mental real estate...not worth hanging onto) 3) I'll get better at finding those desirable items that aren't saturated yet (several daily sales of $20+/profit items---pay $5-$10 and sell for $30-$50+ shipping) and 4) I'm going to find a few bangers on more rare occasions (pay $1 to $20 and make $30, 50, or even $100/profit.) The good items will bring your ASP up, but the steady, low profit items are the pulse of your business. The majority of clothing sellers get into trouble when they forget the main rule of reselling used clothing: cash flow is king. You're better off breaking even, getting that money and just buying something else vs hanging on for dear life in hopes your unicorn buyer comes along and pays up for it. The reason for that is because you get BETTER at knowing what sells and you learn more as time goes on, so you can redeploy your profits more wisely as time goes on.

Thanks for the awesome comment! My business volume is very high volume and my average sales price is pretty low compared to most resellers. This model has its downsides obviously. Higher returns, low quality listing's that take longer to sell, low price points, but it works for me! Thanks again for the comment and have a wonderful day :)

[@NewYorkPickers]

Clickbait. Made means profit to most people. Made does not mean increasing inventory value to most people. Chamois is pronounced shammy.

[@vintagebyjacob]

Thanks for the comment! I understand why you would think this title can be mistaken as clickbait. Inventory value is a very important metric to my business. Did I use this number to make a more engaging title? Absolutely. Thank you for the pronunciation! I never knew that! Again, I appreciate the comment. Have a wonderful day 😊

[@lukazupie7220]

@@vintagebyjacob how much do you actually make tho? Out of 5000 usd? Seems like you could wrote 2000usd in a day and the title would be just as interesting, maybe more bcs it would be more realistic.. i obviously clicked on video anyway but i would click even "sooner" if you wrote 1000usd or 2000usd. Good luck, happy new year!:)

I really would have watched the entire video if it was titled "How I sourced $5100 worth of items in one day" or similar. But I'm just one person. If your audience doesn't mind click bait you'll be just fine.

Thanks for the comment and feedback! I appreciate it, have a wonderful day 😀

Once I listed, solo, something over 180 items in a day and I almost died like wtf 😂 profit also from it came within 90days

I dont see how people make so much money reselling? I cant get anyone to buy anything from me on posh, ebay ect

[@vintagebyjacob]

It takes time, effort, and deloping a business formula/strategy. Just keep trying and you will figure out systems that work for you :)

[@daniellee9763]

You make $5100 in a day and cant even afford shelves? Imagine having to pull out a shirt from the bin in the back bottom corner. that is insane.

[@vintagebyjacob]

Thank you so much for the comment! I really appreciate your input. Actually, I do have shelves on the other half of this unit and in some of my other units. However, I only use shelves for specific goods (primarily hard goods). I have used this system for a very long time, and I have become extremely efficient at using it. I actually prefer it over shelves (maybe I am insane). Plus, it keeps me in shape! Thanks for the comment, and have a wonderful day 😊

[@expertbrian8314]

You said you have over 300 items that will NET you $5,100. I would suggest you revise your language to say you have 300 items you hope to sell for a GROSS sales amount of $5,100 - your NET will be after eBay fees, cost of goods, postage, shipping supplies. I understand your desire is to get viewers, but misleading titles don’t help people get started in reselling. Not hating, just an observation.

[@vintagebyjacob]

Thank you for the observation! I really appreciate the advice and feedback. Thanks 😁

[@flairgrace1184]

Everyone who was upset with the title…. Dude got 24k in views so I guess it worked 🤷‍♀️. Everyone is doing it or putting crazy eyed thumbnails. Fact is video had good deets. Get it bro!

Yes I do! Stay tuned 😉

[@Quickdraw1111]

You said you bought 300 items and after you sell them you will make $5100 in a day. My question is: are you selling 300 items a day? Is that your average?

[@vintagebyjacob]

Pending the time of the year yes. Thanks for the question! :)

[@Quickdraw1111]

@@vintagebyjacob Ok, lets to the numbers: *Working 5 days a week (off on the weekends), 4 weeks per month, 12 months per year = 240 working days. *Let's say you take off 30 days for vacation during the year and do no work during that time. 240 - 30 = 210 working days. *You say that you make $5100 per day? Okay, let's make it an even $5000 a day (after all, sometimes you sell slightly less, right?) *210 working days, at $5000 a day = $1,050,000 Do you really expect us to believe that not only that you make over $1 million a year, BUT you ALSO are doing all of this ALL BY YOURSELF?? And add in you have time to make KZbin videos? LOL! As the current individual in the White House says: "C'mon man!!".

Hello,everyone

[@vintagebyjacob]

Hi! :)

[@taboneal]

eBay: "Used clothing must be properly cleaned " Where is that in your process?.

[@vintagebyjacob]

Great question! I mainly sell hard goods on ebay. I judge the cleanliness of all garments before they are up for resale. Most places I source items have a high standard of cleanliness to begin with. Thanks for asking!

[@laibakmusic]

[@TheMotivationalManiac]

No one can list 300 items a day by themselves dude.

[@vintagebyjacob]

Thanks for the comment! I really appreciate it. I agree with you that listing 300 items in a day is extremely tough. However, I disagree. It is not impossible. The haul in this specific video did take 2 days to accomplish. Typically, listing 100-200 items is extremely practical. It all comes down to having good inventory/listing systems in place. For example, have listing description templates and efficient photo routines. Now, is it hard work? Absolutely. Am I willing to work a 12-14 hour day to accomplish a big haul of inventory? Yes, I absolutely am! Again, I appreciate the comment. Thanks again, and have a wonderful day 😊

THE TRUTH!!!!!!!!! THE ONLY WAY TO MAKE MONEY ON THESE PLATFORMS IS TO HAVE A KZbin CHANEL WHERE YOU TALK ABOUT THE PLATFORMS. KZbinRS ARE PRIORITIZED ABOVE EVERY ONE ELSE AND THEY KNOW IT. THEY WON'T TELL YOU THIS BECAUSE THAT WON'T MAKE THEM MONEY IF YOU KNOW. IT TAKES AWAY FROM THEIR SALES.

[@vintagebyjacob]

Thank you for the comment! I appreciate your input! Personally, I believe there is more than enough for everyone to succeed. I truly believe it comes down to individual effort.

[@sqzpeach]

Pretty dishonest, really. You're just suckering people onto your page with the headline. the $5,100/day is - by your own admission - what you will, eventually, make in three months of turnaround. I knew it wouldn't be true when I saw the headline, but that's really disingenuous. You should be more transparent.
