How to Flip Shoes From Goodwill to eBay!

[@cherrytreeblossom8475]

Thanks for the insight. I'm in regional Australia and bargains are few and far between, but us Aussie resellers keep hangin' in and some rise to the surface. These guys are great and they continue also to spread the love and are very generous with their time and info. A great community, I think.

[@wboutsianis]

This is one of my favorite formats for Ralliroots videos. Yes, we love to see you grow, and yes, we love to see the pups and the banter, but this is the bread and butter for me. I LOVE to see you thrift, give great info about the process, and then show us the results and the math. Great job Ryan!

[@ImFiguringitout32]

I have found good shoes. Some even selling close to $200. I’ve found doc martens, crocs real tree model sells really well. I found some vapor max that was a bit rare for $20 flipped for $145. Just found some Jordan’s that needs a lil cleaning but will sell close to $200. I’ve done really well with shoes and electronics and pots and pans! Thanks to RALLI roots, hairy tornado and Hustlin hooks!! My top 3 KZbin channels if you really want good advice.

[@jillleach2919]

Ryan I had picked up a pair of Crocs, great color way @ good will, listed them on Mercari for $20.00 & free shipping as soon as I listed them they sold, lesson learned... I knew I should have listed them for more... UGH lesson learned, well anyway my Customer was very happy to receive them & I got a great review, so all in all I am happy about that, but I could just kick myself! Oh well... Have a great week & I will see you when your next video comes out! 👍

[@timothylewis90]

Come on bruh...………..your algorithm tells you that we like these thrifting videos much more than the other content so you must make them. Im glad that you do as this is what really helps the majority of people. Thanks for all of your help/insight.

[@baniflavor]

As an independent artist I do part time selling on eBay and flipping just wanted to say I enjoy watching you guys n this channel! ✨🙂

[@naptownhustle7532]

I have really started selling more and more shoes from the thrift store! It is amazing what you can find in the nice part of town! People spend too much money on their shoes and then they DONATE them! great video!

yard sale & estate sales is where its at!....picked up a wii for 15$ this weekend and a oringal xbox LOT for 25$ at a estate sale

These videos are such welcome information for any reseller, big or small. Thank you. ♥️☮️🙏

I love your videos!!! Love you guys!!! My mentors!!!! This is the best video for me!!!

[@avintagementality]

Thank you Ryan, always good information.

[@maureendoherty4424]

Hi Ryan. I have no confidence in my judgement when looking the condition of shoes. I sold a pair that I thought was in excellent condition. I received a message from the buyer about 2 months after purchase that they fell apart due to dry rot. I would love to see a video demonstrating how you examine a pair of shoes, what to look for etc. Thank you for all you do.

[@68akehoe]

Thanks for the tip on Crocs I see them all the time but usually avoid them, I’ll have to start researching them.

[@larryjante4647]

You put the time and effort into your channel. Best of luck to you...

[@zeketassew4052]

Thanks RR always coming up with cool videos. I learned so much from you guys for the past year. I am currently focused on electronics and was able to meet my 2020 goal last month. Keep up the great work guys and thank you!!!

Identifying shoes is such a hard obstacle to get around for newbies like me. You should make a all about shoes video all about sourcing and cleaning / tips and tricks.

[@nathaliecruz3211]

Ryan you pack so much information into your videos so fast.😀Thanks great shoe tips.

[@matterof_fact]

Always enjoy the vids ! You two definitely help me get into reselling 🤜🤛

[@JoeSmith-xu8bn]

Shoes at goodwill are getting hard to find for a price able to be flipped for a profit. Anything decent has a price tag of $15-$20 now...sometimes even $40.

[@basketsresale]

Shoes are $ MONEY!$ i think shoes are the best stuff to start, with thats for sure because they are literally everywhere! great video

[@jillleach2919]

That’s for sure, I have gotten sneakers, Brand New/With Tags still on @ Good Will! 😊

[@basketsresale]

@@jillleach2919 yeah those are great to find! always a fast flip when they are new

[@basketsresale]

@@GardenOwl22 i like to stick to hiking brands like KEEN , merrell , etc look for quality hiking shoes with Vibram sole they are faster sellers, trusted brands like Nike and adidas and Brooks are always good sellers, along with stylish New Balance shoes, my advice is look up to see if there are a lot listed and not many similar sold dont buy them if you see that there are a bunch sold get em, its a learning process and sometimes even good shoes will sit for 6 months for me

[@lqdinfo6200]

Great video! Enjoy watching the finds and how much you sold it for! We are at our warehouse cleaning up and organizing again...lol It's getting better and better and my customers come by appointment only. I have refular buyers now that have their time slots open for them only...others have to wait..lol My customers are great people from all over the world! They ship to Africa, Carribean and South America and I also have local customers that sell on marketplace as well. I rather sell to them wholesale instead of dealing with one item sale at a time! I still have my online sales, so it's fun and love doing this, because I am not punching a clock for a corporation that sucks the blood and your life like in the office movie! Hahahaha Have a great week! Joe Bee from Canada!

[@lizhunter7431]

Lots of great shoes to pick up at thrift stores, and easy to look up with the codes on the tags.

[@koolaid09164]

What do you use to research the codes?

[@lizhunter7431]

@@koolaid09164 I just type the codes into the eBay search on the app, usually that always brings up the shoe. If that doesn’t work, I do a basic google search. Additionally, some codes have a -102 or -100 at the end and that identifies the color, I will leave that out sometimes to just find the model of the shoe.

[@koolaid09164]

Got it, I've noticed some have what looks like a QR code and didn't know if there was some super secret app that I was missing out on.

[@lizhunter7431]

@@koolaid09164 yeah, there is probably a way to scan the we code and search through google

How do you keep up with how much you pay for each item and how do you organize your inventory? Love watching you guys, thanks for sharing your knowledge.

[@canes3053]

Would love to know how to clean shoes thanks

[@canes3053]

I found your video on clean shoes😀

[@ralphfriday821]

Honestly it depends what shoes and what type !

[@brettlott570]

On your Solomon shoe listing it said free 4 day shipping. Ebay needs to take that down. I've had SO MANY listing say that but then it has taken 3weeks or longer for them to be delivered by USPS. SO FRUSTRATING 😤😖

[@theoneandonlykctcb6366]

Doc Martin boots, shoes are worn below the ankles. Love you guys.

[@rebeccanorman9807]

I love your content, I've learned so much! I would be interested to see a video where you talk about shoes you pass on. In my area I find a ton of nikes but most of the time they don't seem worth it when I Run comps. Same with some versions of Merrell, brooks, etc. I always wonder if I'm just not doing my research correctly. I know a lot of it is just experience but I would love to see a video about what you pass up. Thank you for all of the free education!

[@lindap.p.1337]

He talks about shoes he passes up nearly every video he makes of yard sales and thrift stores. Maybe you just need to watch them some.

[@Geo35868]

Good looking Bro!!! Imma keep an eye out for these shoes.

[@amrakarmaMisophoniac]

Shoes are in my top 3 re-sell items. I've even gotten pretty good at cleaning them. Also, as a 'small time' eBay seller, I must say, I'm not cool with managed payments.

[@myfinancialclimb3121]

Those are actually great numbers. I believe average return rates on electronics are 10% and for shoes it's like 5%, so you all are doing well there. I personally had to deal with a $350 jacket get returned to us recently and it was very obvious that the customer used us as a rental, used it for an event and returned it back to us, tags still attached on the inside. It was dirty and reeked...but what can you do? Just part of doing business.

[@narutointel]

Thanks for all the advice and tips 👍

[@aaronryan002]

Yeah just sold a pair of crocs for $130 I found at Marshall's. They are sold out on line and they are hard to find. So keep that in mind when you are doing RA.

I just listed my death pile of shoes. 72 pairs! I'm transitioning to free shipping in most categories, but I haven't yet in shoes because of returns for "doesn't fit". I don't want to eat postage cost for those returns. my question.... what's your return rate in shoes? I like selling them because the roi is very high compared to most clothing. and they are so much easier to look through! lol

[@RALLIROOTS]

Under 3%

I have a question when you listen Shoes and you put best offer from what point you start to where you finish that best offer example is $42 that year trying to get do you put it from $2 to $42 or from $30 to $42 will be very helpful your answer thank you for the video

[@RALLIROOTS]

Not sure what the question is but typically we’ll price stuff so that we can give 20% off

[@MrDogStream]

Hey Ryan, do you guys list shoes with the price still marked on them? I noticed the Hokas still had the price on them THANKS!

[@RALLIROOTS]

We'll take the time to clean off the prices and clean up shoes when they're more expensive

[@ginafromwisconsin6022]

great video as usual. I notice you don’t erase the price marks on the bottom of the shoes. Are there times you do? Like with higher end shoes? Thanks as always, Gina.

[@RALLIROOTS]

Yeah :) we’ll do it with higher end shoes, as well as clean them up more. Time is money.
