Make More Money on Etsy | 7 Vintage Pieces that ALWAYS Sell! | Reseller Tips

[@annstratton7098]

Thank you for covering so much content, and not having a long intro to your videos, ads, talking endlessly, and rehashing your entire haul. I have subscribed to other resellers who routinely waste my time with conversations they have with friends and family members that only frustrate. Keep up the great advice and info, along with your hauls!

[@AllPutTogether]

I totally feel ya! I prefer KZbinrs to get right to it too, which is why I film in that style. I have some more tips focused videos coming soon. Thanks for subscribing!

[@delightfuldaisy1]

What a WEALTH of information!!! Exactly the type of video I need. PLEASE do more like this!!😃😍

[@AllPutTogether]

Yay! I have more coming!

[@growinginspirationVR]

I would love to see a video on how to package, label and store these while you are waiting for them to sell. How do you organize your inventory?

[@AllPutTogether]

Ok I will add that topic to my list!

[@doulalina]

Yes I would like this too

[@Keep__moving__forward]

I resell but I usually find all the things I love and am knowledgeable about lol. I buy all the needlepoints and crewel but I can’t sell them cuz I collect them lol

[@AllPutTogether]

OMG same! I source so many things I love and then keep...Oops! I did an Instagram reel of all the items I kept last year and it was shocking! haha ;)

[@joyrockwood942]

I'm sorting my grams collection while watching this and I find the exact same brass turtle. Missing the pin and all! Kismet, I love it! Great video!

[@AllPutTogether]

My goodness what a coincidence!! Too funny. Your gram sounds like she has some great taste. 😉

[@susanalfieri4487]

In a pinch, if you were using the turtle in your own home rather that selling, you might be able to use a stiff wire--at least until you find the right size pin.

[@1365Lucy]

Thank you...I learned different aspects of selling vintage items.

[@Royal-Junk]

Would you please make a video on shipping supplies and methods? Also how you store items.

[@AllPutTogether]

Ok, I will add this to my list of topics!

[@kimkerley4218]

I LOVE THIS TYPE VIDEO!! ❤❤❤❤ Please do more. Need selling tips like selling in groups is great! ❤❤❤😊😊😊

Yay! More to come soon!

[@sharonhonacher4017]

I appreciate these tips, especially grouping like items. Makes a lot of sense. Thank you!

Glad you found it helpful!

[@Ocean_Soul26]

this is so incredibly helpful and so kind of you to share with us from your wealth of knowledge. Thank you so much. 😊

[@AllPutTogether]

You are so welcome!

[@MTandCT]

Andi! This video was so helpful! I sell furniture on Etsy but have always wanted to dive into smalls. Would love more videos on doing shipping profiles and packaging. I always get confused on knowing the size of box and weight etc. Thanks for sharing your tips!! 🖤

[@AllPutTogether]

I'm planning a shipping video very soon! I'm amazed you ship furniture - I always complain about the small stuff lol!

[@kasidawkins8630]

I have an vintage Etsy store that I started last fall. These types of videos are very helpful. Thank you for sharing your experience and advice!

[@vickyjarvis7083]

Hi Andi, I am trying to decide if I want to start reselling. The information you give is useful and I am learning a lot.. Thank you for sharing your video. Looking forward to more videos.

[@bonniepiehler693]

I had that shirt in 1984. It was my fav.

[@AllPutTogether]

It’s my fav too!!! :)

[@susanalfieri4487]

It's adorable. And so cute on her.

[@Alex-dz2et]

Etsy seller hobbiest here - things that are true for me too: 1. Brass cranes - repeatedly sell for me, as does brass deer and brass geese 2. Copy and modify - definitely saves time and effort! 3. Artworks (I haven’t sold crewel) - small oil paintings are the best for me Haven’t tried sets of things but will look at my inventory to experiment! Thanks for the tip.

[@AllPutTogether]

Yes, small oils are doing pretty good for me too! I just have such a hard time finding them. :) I went to Europe last spring and totally regret not grabbing more while I was there. Thanks for sharing your tips/list too. I know others will appreciate it!

[@kimmartin4349]

I love this. Please do more!

[@AllPutTogether]

More videos dropping soon!

[@quepaso3939]

Thank you so much for the great, informative video, from a Future, nervous reseller 😅

[@AllPutTogether]

Yay! Excited for your future selling journey! One of the biggest mistakes people make starting out is just buying random stuff. I avoided this somewhat because I tried to find things I knew were selling with other resellers. I watched a lot of What Sold videos and also checked the sold sections of Etsy seller's profiles.

[@portlandrevibe1028]

Love all the insight! Doing your homework on what sells well and even items that are harder to find/worth more is a learning curve for sure, but necessary to sharpen up on before you start shopping to stock your shop!

[@cillawatkins]

Hi Andi! I love your videos! I found a milking stool for $5 and sold it on FB Marketplace for $35 and thought that was great! Crazy the prices you get! I can't sell sets of candlesticks either. I agree the brass ducks don't sell . Love this type of content. Can't wait for another:)

[@AllPutTogether]

I'm so glad you enjoyed it. And your stool flip is still a very good profit! Etsy buyers seem to be more comfortable paying higher prices, probably because there are a lot of designers that source on there for clients. That's why I love the platform, I mark things higher and that makes sourcing a little more flexible.

[@peggyfiedler1556]

Love this video! Please keep these coming.

[@AllPutTogether]

Thank you! Will do!

[@lisamarieanne1974]

Just wanted to give a nod to this video. It’s the first one I watched of yours. Super informative and I was hooked. We have the same taste. Thanks so much!!🍄

thank you i am a new seller, i am looking in to getting a booth ,but your info, sounds like I can look in to Etsy

[@AllPutTogether]

There are many pros/cons to Online vs. Booth. I like having a booth, but Etsy has been better for me.

[@rs968]

I LOVE the stool with the wicker seat! I’ve never found one in the wild! I’m always on the hunt!

[@AllPutTogether]

I def find more stools than brass animals these days! But both are allusive for sure!

[@PaperDiva67]

Love this! I resell on eBay but Etsy seems more intimidating to me. Trust me I have a bunch of items that I should not have bought! I try to consider them as an educational expense 😂.

[@AllPutTogether]

Haha buying the wrong stuff in the beginning is very common. We all have done it and I still have items sometime that I just don't get why they havent sold! Etsy definitely is intimidating, but once you sign up, it's easy to manage. I'm planning a video on it soon.

[@Mo.Vintage15]

Definitely was an informative post and would like to see additional information. The baskets are something that I wouldn’t have considered before.

[@AllPutTogether]

Glad it was helpful! Yes, I have more planned. :)

[@giniaweaver7377]

I have an Etsy store of my handmade items but I personally love vintage things. Not sure how your video came across my feed but I thoroughly enjoyed it and it sure sparked some ideas! I've subscribed so I can see more of your content. :) Would definitely like more like this!

[@AllPutTogether]

Thank you!! I'm glad it seemed helpful beyond just vintage sellers. I have a lot more videos in the works! :)

[@barbarascott1233]

Thank you! I appreciate listening to your advice. I'm an artist-spent 22 yrs selling at art festivals but aren't finding Etsy a good selling space for me. But I love collecting thi gs and have I think a good eye so maybe this is worth trying. Mid west tastes are what they are (different) but we'll see where it goes. THanks again!

[@AllPutTogether]

My pleasure! If you don't want to start an account from scratch, you could just try adding a few items to your existing Etsy art shop. Ive seen people do this. They just update the branding/visuals. That way buyers see you already have reviews and sales, which is a hurdle for new accounts.

[@MrsMansir]

Just watched another one of your videos and you are so helpful! It’s good to know what specifically to look for and to not pass up

[@AllPutTogether]

I'm so glad you enjoyed it and found it helpful!

[@johnhenderson7081]

Glad I came across your video. My wife and I have lot of vintage things we have accumulated over the years, plus her parents house. We have been selling part time off and on eBay, but it seems like we need to go to another platform. Didn't know you could sell vintage items on Etsy. Thanks for your help!

[@AllPutTogether]

Glad you found the video so helpful! Yes, Etsy is a great platform for selling vintage. You usually can get higher prices and most people don't try to low ball you or submit offers.

[@shellypayne8402]

Thanks! This was great. I am not a reseller…….but, you make me want to start!

[@AllPutTogether]

Haha it's a slippery slope! You watch a couple videos... ;)

Good Morning. I just discovered you on KZbin and loved this informational video. I have sold a little on Mercari but would like to consider ETSY. Do you have a video that teaches the basics for posting and mailing through Etsy?

[@AllPutTogether]

Not yet, but I'm planning one!

[@laurab8450]

Great information, thank you! One of my fav things to pick up are brass animals, love them, but they are getting harder to find.

[@AllPutTogether]

So hard to find! I have the best luck with them at antique malls. They are almost never in thrift stores.

[@Noelle-StilesHouseStudio]

Thank you, Andi for all of this info. I just opened my new etsy shop. I am getting bogged on research for each piece...but I love it! I have a bunch of brass figures in the type you have shown so I may put them up sooner so as to get some more early sales. You do a great job and I love your show! 🌹Noelle Stiles

[@AllPutTogether]

You're very welcome! And yes, get those brass figures listed - they should sell well for you. :) I'm just recorded a video about how to know if something is valuable, so keep an eye out for that! ;)

[@terrizimmerman5297]

Wow, Andi. What a great video! I guess I scored when I bought my large heavy brass Pegasus for under $20 including shipping! Your experience and advice is amazing.

[@cillawatkins]

I have a heavy brass Pegasus on Poshmark and can't sell it at all. Not even a "like"

[@AllPutTogether]

OMG you totally got that for a steal my goodness! Way to go! Thanks for watching, like always. ;)

The thing that makes my basket cost a lot to ship is because they are so big. Like with the handles. Man just so much to ship for me in Tn. They’re over sized. 😊😊😊

Yes, some items can be so pricey to ship. And sometimes there is even a cost difference between shipping from your home address vs. PO Box.

[@alisonhoman8567]

Great video Andi! I'm a vintage Etsy and booth reseller too. You've given me a few things to think about! I'm over 1000 Etsy sales but still not ready to ship intl. I have done a few when asked by customers. Can you share what countries you currently sell too? Or do you have a video on intl sales yet? Love the idea of grouping like items. I think I will do that on some of my similar smalls as they come around for renewal. YES and buying and selling the same/similar items! I sell tons of Revere Ware pots and pans, the copied listing literally takes a few minutes since I already put the hard work into my titles and tags!!

[@AllPutTogether]

Wow - over 1K sales is fantastic! For international sales, I just opted in, so I will ship really anywhere the sale happens. I mostly ship to Europe and Australia, but I've sent stuff to Botswana, Korea, etc. Most international sales will first ship to an Etsy center and then they attach all the country specific shipping labels. BUT as you probably have experienced, it can take AGES for things to clear and deliver. And customers are usually very naive about how long it will take. And shipping updates from international carriers are not always as transparent as ours. I've never had anything go missing but I have had things take months to clear customs or customers not realizing that some postal offices will hold international packages for pickup rather than delivery.

[@Vintagebeautyca]

You guys are Soo lucky in the US to get items shipped to you for $5.00 !!! in Canada its a minimum of $18.00 and upwards of $24.00 to get something the size of the small crewel. and if it was a bigger crewel it would be likle $38.00 and i cant imagine a stool probably around $50 can you believe that! lol omg even a small jewelry item for it to have tracking is like $18.00

[@KJJ378]

The grass is always greener….We envy you Canadians because you don’t have to pay for healthcare. I pay several hundred a month on health insurance, medical bills and prescriptions. I’d rather pay for shipping. 😉

@@KJJ378 lol awe that is very true thank u 🙏

[@AllPutTogether]

My goodness I had no idea! That's gotta be hard on sellers and buyers. Yes, the US postal service is pretty affordable but you have to buy through Etsy or a low-cost site. Going to the actual post office is like 30% more expensive!

Hi! Just curious if you pay for the shipping on items or does the customer pay? That makes a huge difference on profit. Thank you!

[@AllPutTogether]

I offer free shipping on all my products. Etsy prioritizes listings with free shipping in search results. I usually add about $10 to the item's cost and that usually covers it.

[@SarahThornton-b7c]

Listening to your shipping prices makes me wonder what I’m doing wrong. I live in WNY and I use ground as much as possible using Etsy as my shipper and my customers are paying anywheres between $10-18 on average . Very frustrating because I feel like this is a deterrent for sales

[@AllPutTogether]

It's probably not you, just your zone and where you are shipping to. I ship a lot to Washington and California so that tends to help my prices. Have you tried buying labels through Pirate Ship? Sometimes I will compare and contract pricing that way. They get good rates too.

[@lisajensen9395]

Do you ever worry about bed bugs? That's my concern buying used.

[@cd2659]

So I have noticed shipping prices so high for certain items and then the price of the actual item is way lower than others. Is this how some sellers get the same price? Is this a thing?

[@AllPutTogether]

Ohh yeah this strategy makes me crazy! Sometimes it's hard to look for comps because the listing price is so low, however if they don't offer free shipping on that listing then I immediately know they are majorly padding the transaction. Seems weird that this strategy would work give how much people expect free shipping these days.

[@ktremmy]

Do you buy crewel/embroidery if it’s not framed?

[@AllPutTogether]

Typically I don't because I try not to buy anything that's a project, which includes framing items. I'll make exceptions for my own stuff, but I try to only buy items that are pretty turn-key.

[@misswarmsoul09]

Just curious why your pricing tends to end with 8, like 48, 58, 68 lol

[@AllPutTogether]

It's a retail pricing strategy. Ending things in 7,8 or 9 signals to the buyer that they are getting a discount, because the amount is just under the higher price. For example, $48 can feel like they are paying closer to $40 when it's actually closer to $50.

[@maryjoymath3545]

Sorry ment grouping like items!!! My goofy spell check gets possessed at times!!!💞💞🙃💞💞

[@louisesuffolk]

I am interested to know why all your prices end in 8

[@ImazABoss]

@@AllPutTogether That's definitely where I go in my head with the 99. Since making this comment I started to mix it up with my pricing. I'm employing the 80s now lolol so far so good! I sold two Disney vintage items within less than 5 minutes of listing that ended in 89! Magic ✨ lol I feel like ending with odd amounts like 86 89 and so on also make the listing stand out a bit too maybe? Whenever I see really random amounts it always get my personal attention, so I'm going for it. Thanks!

[@misswarmsoul09]

I thought swans and ducks were super popular 🤷‍♀️

[@AllPutTogether]

For me, I can't seem to sell them. It's all about cranes and roadrunners for me. But it also could be that my prices are too high for those ducks and that is why they don't sell.

[@doulalina]

I can’t believe the prices … who would pay so much when they could get it on Amazon for $20? It seems rough to try to sell a basic basic for $48? 😅 the sets idea is good - this was helpful - I guess Etsy is special customer lol. I guess they don’t know goodwill exists? 😂

[@AllPutTogether]

A lot of people prefer vintage over new even though the cost is more. And I have several buyers with mobility issues who can’t go to the thrift stores as often as we can.
