Look For These Items While Sourcing To Resell On eBay

[@DebraCorning]

The last few minutes...a gift of vulnerability & understanding from the center of the heart. This is the 'value' that keeps me coming back. Thank you, Jake.

[@epcaloha]

Thank you for sharing your story and for taking a risk to be vulnerable. What a beautiful reminder of how much we really do need each other on this journey of life! Love your content ❤

[@joshuaray2657]

I definitely feel location is important for success in e-commerce. A lot of areas just don't have a plethora of available inventory that sells on ebay. I'd also like to add that if your particular area is just crawling with resellers that it makes it very difficult to build an inventory of high sell through items. Just a tid bit of observation in comparison.

[@royc5936]

Absolutely....selling on Ebay is simple, sourcing is the hard part mainly for the reason you mention.

[@tammygerzetich3386]

Loved everything you shared in this video. Great tips! Because of your advice,,I purchased a Beachwaver for $1.50 at a thrift shop a while back. One of my daughters was like OMG Mom, Why are you buying that? It is never going to sell. It sold 2 days after I listed it for $65 and was my third sale in my eBay shop. Had a total of 6 sales in 4 days which I was super excited about considering I just launched my shop. Thank you for being an awrsome reseller/ mentor that I look up to. Not gonna lie, you got the tears rolling over here at the end when you said to let others help you. I have struggled with allowing others to help me so much in my life. It has always been so much easier for me to give to others than to be on the receiving end.

Hi Jake, I discovered your channel a few months ago and really like your content. You are a good soul and are genuine in your actions, this is what I have observed from tuning in over these past few months. You share your knowledge and are always upfront about the inner workings of the business, etc that most may not be aware of. With respect to compensation, you have earned it!🎉. Getting compensated in this market is the goal of all who participate in the resell business. Want you to know that I am glad you are starting to reap the rewards of your efforts. You have been hustling and your hard work is paying off. 🎉🎉. What also comes thru is your genuinely wanting others to succeed! Thank you for sharing your story - I know that wasn’t easy and I come away from that with massive respect for your wanting to share in the hopes of helping another. That is the “Good Soul” that I referred to earlier and believe that is what the owner recognized as well. I understand how you felt about accepting help and believe that many feel that way at some point in their lives. Your passion and knowledge made you one of my fav content creators but your humanity is by far your greatest attribute, my friend! Looking forward to watching your continued success in the reseller landscape! 🎉 Ps - I normally don’t write in the comments but wanted you to know that your kindness is truly appreciated! Keep up the great work!

[@janethollowell2404]

What you said at the end!! Second time I heard that message yesterday. You know how good you feel when you do something nice and helpful for someone? Why would you deny someone else that pleasure and joy! I love this message thanks for squeezing in your thought process.

[@MichelleReddick-c4e]

You continue to impress me with your business, but especially who you are. Thank you for sharing with us. I don't like to accept help either. It makes me too vulnerable. It is something I am working on. Thank you for the reminder. All the best to you in your business, but also in your personal life.

[@TheGgbears]

Loved entire video. But especially your touching message at the end. I have had to accept help real recently and I can so relate. It is a blessing to receive and when you let others bless they get blessed. Don't rob them of that blessing by turning them down. Hugs

[@qwerty70403]

I know exactly what you're talking about. Asking for help is not in my programming. Luckily I have friends who can usually tell. Your story Is great and the emotions show you're real.

[@blueskypicks]

I remember my Dad was once given a doughnut by a little boy who was a neighbor. He told me he really didn't want the doughnut but he didn't want to deny the little boy the joy of giving so he took it, thanked the boy and ate it.

[@brandonius7]

Love the vulnerability and transparency at the end. I'm here for all of it

[@daydreaminginventor-k8957]

The fulfillment of helping others is great

[@damedicmt]

That’s an awesome story as you ended the clip… We as human beings are flawed! Our ego will not allow us to receive or accept help, in the way that you shared with us. But one thing that we don’t understand, and your closing comments reflected: When we don’t allow someone to help us, because out of the goodness of their heart, they want to show kindness, love, and generosity - we deny them of the blessings that they want to provide. Or more accurately…. We rob them of that goodness.

[@texaslady7630]

Thank you, great tips and advice. I think everyone needs a little help sometimes. I struggled when I was younger with 2 kids and my grandparents helped me along the way. I could hardly keep the lights on back then. Enjoyed your story :)

[@freddyrussell6611]

Yes Jake. Alot of us have been NAKED AND AFRAID like the TV show. For me, having to live in my truck (no money for rent or nearly food.. tuna and cheap bread) near a railroad track so it would wake me up at 4:30am to be to work at 7am was a lonely time for almost 6 months. Only after seeing you say your story did it remind me of that AFTER 28yrs later and now in a better place. Tears to you fine Sir.

[@sparemaggs6060]

I needed to hear that story! Thank you! Your channel has truly changed my life. I started a month ago and I can barely keep up with my demand! Keep the videos coming you are touching lives!

[@mac-be2me]

this is why your so successful , you've been hungry. I also had a similar experience with an employer who paid my rent for one year , no strings attached. I had nothing but a suitcase in my hand when i met him. One thing i know for sure , when we are moving in the right direction , doors open , opportunity presents itself and as long as we are actively aware of when it does and move forward with intention life is good ! Someday you will undoubtedly pay it forward and in many ways your doing that now. I always watch until the end.. lol. i know you get stats on retention , pay that no mind and keep on moving !

[@robertcatalogna4700]

On the routers do you have them reset to factory settings? And if you do how do you do it? Thanks for what you do helping us newbie’s

[@PatriotGirl1776]

Great story Jake!!! It’s so true how accepting help actually makes the other person feel amazing. I love helping others but I too struggle to accept help but I am learning! Great day in sales! 19!

[@JrideFlips]

Good work keep that up!

[@vacaylife1950]

Jake- it’s refreshing to see a human side behind a successful KZbinr. It’s not easy to be so open with your past I’m sure, but definitely shows when you have help along the way, you can reach your goals and dreams!

[@kellyskloset350]

I LOVE selling remote controls and small electronics. Also printer ink, textbooks/manuals, hard drives, streamers, etc. Easy to ship with great profit!

[@linall2345]

You are such a good person! Thank you for all the help you give all of us! ❤

[@brennontouchet]

I haven’t even watched the video, but I’m sure I’ll learn something. I wanted to say thanks. I’ve been reselling for 3 months now and I met my goal to sell something everyday for a week. I’m on week three and seeing good consistency. Thank you for all the great advice! PS I started buying cameras a week ago and the two that I post sold within a day! Blew my mind! Edited: so you mentioned Covington Louisiana! Have you been to my homeland of LA? 😂

[@Sunshine33333]

Oh, I never click away from your videos and watch them till the end, awesome story at the end Jake. Have a blessed weekend!!

[@jackiegerarde9938]

I had to work with a therapist to learn how to accept help. Then i could see that i was denying others from joy. I was selfish. I imagine if you and i are in the center of a crisis or otherwise aware of an emergency around us we're the ones who step up. Im really good in those intense situations. But we need to learn to let others be the heroes when lives arent on the line. Money and time are the best things we can share. And Kroger groceries. Great story and im sure that brought him enormous joy.

[@dyman2016]

I’m so glad you mentioned the century link at 8:50-9:32 cuz I could’ve sworn I saw one in my thrift store last night but didn’t even bat an eye. Went back today and picked it up for $6.99. I’m in FL btw Thanks 🙏

[@FloridaNative59]

It was not a business play, he is a good man and he saw that in you as well.

[@scottishracer]

Another great educational video Jake. Thank you so much for the valuable content you willingly share to the reseller community. Your passion for helping others really comes across in every episode. I always watch to the end for that final nugget!

[@richm5178]

Incredible story about getting help at the end of the video! I see a lot of me in it. I am grateful for you sharing Jake.

[@JrideFlips]

Glad you enjoyed it! Thanks for reaching out

[@anthonykeehr1673]

Your a solid guy. Very respectful

[@stevedoyle5987]

Great idea on posting a I Buy ad. Thanks.

[@ThriftWarz]

Love ur ideas about different ways to source. Looking to increase inventory and the thrifts around me are rough and bins sourcing isn’t as profitable for me as I previously thought.

[@KimChristian-q7t]

I absolutely love your videos. I am a new reseller and struggling a bit and learning from you is helping me a lot.

[@wesquick5948]

Found my first pair of decent sunglasses to sell yesterday. Thanks for all the helpful tips!

[@IvySmith-f4p]

Loved your ending story! 😊. I have been watching your videos and picked up items Saturday that I normally would pass by. For free - Sony mini disc player and vcr recorder. For $1 - 6 remotes, a ford mustang radio, radio shack cassette recorder and a portable cd player. The radio sold within hours for $35.

[@8055boss8055]

I have dealt with that for many years but on a different aspect for why i am that way. I know i need to change but its never easy taking that first step

[@Jessvintagesoul]

thank you for your videos!! you are showing me a new catagory i would have never dove into!!! thank you for sharing your story and part of you !! i enjoyed it and love your content! your hard work is paying off and you are helping others in so many other ways you have no idea!!! you are helping me and i appreciate you !! see yo uon what not good luch with that adventure i want to try and so scared!!

[@LisaShankk]

Your truthful story at the end of your video i can relate to now. Since i injured my back this year ive tried figuring out how to work from home. Im trying ebay with only a phone to start with. Lol

[@christymiller7687]

Thanks! You are so helpful to the entire selling community and you are so appreciated. Comgrats on whatnot!

[@gemflipper]

Great video and your 100% right everybody needs help at some point in their lives. Watching your videos has inspired me first to start creating content on my reselling business and second it pushes me to try to be better.

[@adamsam6823]

inspiring story man. thats so true. thanks for the advice ✌

[@coastcity7029]

A sales job with no base salary is not awesome 😂 but I'm sure it was a great opportunity to learn and grow from

[@helensavvides6582]

Hello Jake, like others here your sharing of personal experiences is heartwarming. If in life you want others to accept your help then it has to be a two-way street.Otherwise there would be a massive traffic jam ! Kepp on keeping on. Your evolving and awareness of that is enlightening and encouraging for all those interested. Huge hug.....

[@irenebarrera8338]

Thanks for sharing , I love how true you are.

[@OldSchoolAntiques]

I really appreciate your drive. And would very much like to learn more about workflow, and how to figure when you can afford to hire help.

[@AdventSeth]

Closing words made me feel under attack. I hate accepting help and I know its a character defect I am trying to work on. I did recently thank my friend for telling me I could make money buying and selling things changed my life. I let me know how big of an impact he had on me and I told him I can never repay him because it changed my life in such a big way.

[@JrideFlips]

It’s a strength and a weakness in a cold world. We gotta always be ready to do everything necessary on our own. But I’m also learning we gotta always be ready to accept help from others who want to see us succeed

[@AdventSeth]

@@JrideFlips. Yes, I will say sometimes when I ask someone to do something and then they don’t it reinforces my bad habits because while I’m not perfect I think to myself self I would have accomplished that.

[@robertcatalogna4700]

I absolutely hate asking people for help!!

[@AdventSeth]

@@robertcatalogna4700 It's a hard thing to do for sure!

[@theinsuranceguy101]

Thank you for sharing. Keep it up.

When that brand was big in the 80's we called them "Var-nays" 😅

[@victorleitzel8922]

hello. which boxes do you use to ship receivers, vcr players, record players (if you sell them), etc.? i have been using priority mail boxes but the free priority mail boxes aren't big enough for items like these. So I have been using ground advantage and scattering around the house looking for a box that is the right size. which boxes do you use?

[@justinrivera5958]

Channel is amazing !

[@lars_vegas]

Thanks for the personal story

[@leticiamontalvo5143]

Amazing !!! I get your message! 👍

[@johnd1282]

Just signed Up least I could do since I get so much value out of your videos. Hope u do more soon and often.

[@JrideFlips]

I really appreciate that! More coming!

[@victorleitzel8922]

for example you sell a lot of subwoofers. which boxes do you use? also i assume there is no way around using a lot of bubble wrap when shipping large and heavy items.

[@gianthoop]

I find it difficult to look up and find what hair curlers, irons and blow dryers are valuable. They never seem to have model numbers. Any advice on this? Could you possibly make a video covering what to look for?

[@garyr5430]

I struggle with that Big Time.. I hate asking for help. I asked my GF this morning for a little help and it turned into the big deal it always is if I ask her. So I appreciate what you're saying but today didn't make that part of life any easier. Thanks for the advice though. I just need to find different people to be close to I guess

[@camderb8761]

that white guitar hero was one of my first big finds before I went to clothing found 2 of them in great condition for 6$ each sold them together for 160 I dont think one buy itself sells for over 100$ plus shipping unless its with the box though, trending price is around 80$ plus shipping either way super cool find!

[@dorothywandruff2121]

Excellent closing words.

[@JrideFlips]

Thank you Dorothy. Thanks for always showing support to me

[@greatwhitenorthtreasures3606]

worth a comment: last 2 minutes. Agree with @DebraCorning comment, this is the 'value' I look for as well. I know some (many? not sure?) don't, and that's fine. But I certainly do (because I know my time is my most valuable commodity!!). Heidi in Vancouver, BC Canada

Hi Jake, I'm a brand new subscriber having very recently discovered your channel. I appreciate your very informative videos, such as this one! The Oakley sunglasses you showed seemed very scratched, but people still pay good money for them? Is it more the frames that interest folks or do they actually wear them with scratched lenses? Curios, I haven't been at this long, but there's so much to know, remember & learn! Thanks for your help!

[@vcvglssbsd4898]

Do you usually have all the cords that go w the dvd/vhs players that u sell? Or more often than not do you just sell the console ?

[@loriguillen8057]

??? Is there a way to research what the top saved searches are in any category on eBay? Or if not how would a person go about telling eBay sellers want that information? I just think it would be in their best interest to share the info so sellers can look for those items and make more sales. Plus if demand is high we know to price higher
