The softball gizmo is for women’s fast pitch softball. The player holds it at the handle with one hand and the the. practices their flicks/rotations/spins for their different pitches. It strengthens the wrist and forearm and practices consistency

got it, thanks for the info 👍

Touch is definitely underrated, love pulling cashmere from the depths of a bin.

[@theresamcgallicher]

I've had a cashmere sweater sweater listed for months with no interest. 😢

Great sales! Weird stuff tends to fly under the radar.

[@parastoonasr6328]

Fascinating. Always learn from your posts. Great job. ❤

Justin great video again I did not know you could ship items in trash bags ( Good to know) Thank You for your time in creating these video for us in the reseller Community

[@lukegonzales6807]

Nice finds! My most recent bizarre find was 2 Chromspun shirts from the 1950s. Already sold one for $275 and have the other listed at 300.

[@justinresells]

nice flip!

[@janethollowell2404]

That's the coolest lamp I've seen thanks for sharing those awesome finds fun stuff

[@gemflipper]

Wow that's a cool lamp. I need to keep my eye out for that one

[@robertdeveau7445]

appreciate the content!

[@MidwesternThriftyMama]

I've been watching your videos, and they're super informative/helpful! You made mention in this one that you're located in St. Louis - small world! I am just across the river in IL. It's always to find resellers who are local to me to watch! Thanks for the great content

[@justinresells]

hi neighbor!

[@deborahveryking6441]

Very interesting!

[@resellutions]

The mad pad is for bouldering practice broski. It’s used with a spotter and they can save you from broken bones. Great vids. Thx!

[@malsirian0880]

Lol i had no idea J. Peterman was a real thing either.

[@justinresells]

glad I am not the only one!

[@mrslehman3]

Love the weird stuff.

[@cottagekeeper]

😮 is that your app you are developing that I see as you discuss your sold items? I like the clean interface, is it tied to eBay? ‘Behind the Glass’ - 😂 totally agree with you!!! Also this sounds like a great name for an eBay KZbin channel. Thanks for sharing your great finds! Can’t wait to use the app!! 🎉

[@justinresells]

Yep, that's the app! It's connected to eBay and ingests everything automatically in realtime.

[@cottagekeeper]

Yes! Can't wait!! @@justinresells

[@darladouglas8880]

I came to the comments to ask what app this was? Excited to see it. Lmk if your open to beta testers.

[@Adapate_Improvise_Overcome]

Justin - Thank you, for the information. Do -ve reviews/feedbacks has any weightage on the overall sales.

[@malsirian0880]

The app looks cool! At least I'm guessing that's what it is. 👍🏻 Did you auction the alien lamp or buy it now? Thanks for the cool video

[@justinresells]

Yep, that's the app :) I BIN'd the lamp, but it would have been a decent auction. I ended up just setting the price higher than most similar comps to see if it would sell, and it did.

[@ajayjohnson7018]

Nice video, great sales. I once came across an electronic hat at Goodwill that was used to regrow hair. Paid $5.99, it sold for about $150. Also, what software is shown in the video to track your inventory and sales? Thx!

[@justinresells]

Software is my own. not released yet but you can signup to use it here: forms.gle/d9Vdmyfcbg9L1nRc6 Thanks!

Vintage Irish Spring Bar Soap and some other brands

[@funnystuff3589]

Lol on the heavy rule I heard you say that before and I just bought a stupid keen kutter meat grinder cause it was heavy. Didn’t know what it was but not a good find.

[@jerrylives2278]

you have extra time? man, how do you do it?! thanks for all the awesome content

barely. thanks for watching!

I remember those toys the adds would be like throw it and it comes back. But ut never came back 😢

[@sofaspeed]

Never came back!!! I begged my mother for that stupid thing too... 🤦‍♂️

[@MrDetectorist]

so many new clothing brands i look up just because of how it feels.

[@foghornleg90]

PLEASE SHARE the info: What is the 'program' (or app) you're using that shows your profit, where you bought the items at, and your cost break outs?? Really cool video and different items.

it’s an app of my own; you can signup for access here if you’re interested: forms.gle/d9Vdmyfcbg9L1nRc6 Thanks!

[@foghornleg90]

@@justinresells - hummmmm... sounds like an interesting project. I was a software designer, and specialized in technical support reduction, for over 30 years. So, I'm looking forward to taking a look at what you have. I'm currently using InkFrog and Vendoo (likely going to cease Vendoo - because it can only deal with 1 - ebay store account). There are different issues with Flyp and ListPerfectly. So... there is room for ONE GREAT app(lication) that can DEAL WITH the missing links, power, performance, and features true 'power users' NEED to REALLY have a 'living wage' from RESELLING (without over taxation).

[@teresaann1475]

Our strategy is always buy the unusual

[@justinresells]

a pretty good strategy for sure!

[@tomwiggins1225]

I would like to hear about some of the things you bought and didn't sell

[@justinresells]

just browse my ebay store :)

[@billargueta5458]

A friend told me places by his house allows people to rent glass spaces in thrift stores to sell. Maybe stuff behind the glass is another sellers stuff.

[@justinresells]

Interesting! I don't think that's the situation at this particular thrift store though.

[@martinrudolph2002]

Ti2 cache is probably used for burying cash or precious metals without worrying about erosion, then it could be easily retrieved via metal detector.

[@justinresells]

and boiling water

[@TheWildwoodPicker]

What is that App you're using that tracks all that data? I like how you can see what you paid, all the expenses, and final take home earnings etc.

[@justinresells]

It's called Flipwise: flipwise.app

[@hurkamur1]

You gave away that Bukowski sketch

[@justinresells]

You think? It was just the signatures, no original sketch.

[@lindadascalu7843]

what is the software you are using for your accounting in this video. I desperately need a better way. thanks!

[@justinresells]

Hi Linda! It is an app of my own. It is not ready for public consumption yet but will be soon. If you check back in on the channel in a few weeks you'll learn more about it. Thank you!

[@steph6197]

Very cool stuff. You're incredibly lucky or very smart. Probably the latter. 😊

[@justinresells]

Eh, lots of luck and persistence.

I see you are located in STL so am I any good flee markets Around the area ?

was the cracker barrel pig shipping expensive?

[@justinresells]

$14.23

[@belindachambers9836]

Is the Mike Bond item a Bear Cannister? In other words what are/ were it's dimensions?

[@justinresells]

It was pretty small. Maybe 10” tall.

[@belindachambers9836]

@@justinresellsThank you for the response and your vids, they're Awesome! Yes I think it might be a bear cannister or you could look up bear vault because they make a line that are clear. As I'm sure you know many items trail hiking backpacking or similarly outdoor related can fetch Big dollars.

[@kristirose2289]

Family full of outdoorsmen … the canister keeps things dry primarily matches. You can clip to a backpack or other gear and if it rains or your Kayak flips, you can make a fire. (I grew up in Kingsville, Tx.)

[@UnfilteredGolfer]

What are your thoughts on poshmark type sites?

[@justinresells]

I focus mostly on eBay but have tried many other marketplaces. I didn't care for the Poshmark and the need to be "social" in order to get views/sales.

[@UnfilteredGolfer]

@@justinresells yes but i think they do really intetesting things..ebay shoukd implant..notably shipping..

[@kristinstaton]

Is this still an Airtable view, or Notion, or is this Sneak Peek at your reseller app?

[@justinresells]

Sneak peek :)

[@kristinstaton]

Oooh this UI looks really clean and straightforward and easy to parse. Looking forward to trying it when you get to that point!

Maybe? From with I could tell there was no other attachments other than what I had. 🤷

[@UnfilteredGolfer]

So these were all listed as auctions or buy it now?

I rarely use auctions. I talk more about that here: kzbin.info/www/bejne/Y4CWY3ecgNeEr5I

Lol We all know what the TI2 is for. You put your weeeed in there man

[@jeanettewilson4591]

Wondering how you verified it was an authentic autograph of the author on that magazine.

[@justinresells]

I did some Google searches to see the author's autograph on other items and compared. I did not get it authenticated and disclosed that in the listing.

@@justinresells that’s helpful. Thanks. I do love your video style.

[@goofydumbgoofyhobtch2765]

Put gloves on at the bins?!?!?! Blasphemy! Lol, then again I think you said you don’t sell clothes. Gloves are a clothing resellers enemy at the bins. In that mess, you feel quality before you see it 😊

[@justinresells]

Definitely! I remove the gloves when digging through the clothing bins.

@@justinresellsalso see if you can get your hands or eyes on J Peterman catalog. The coolest thing ever! Entire catalog is drawn versus using photos.

So you list it for 175 usd or auction.

[@justinresells]

I basically never auction. I talk about that here: kzbin.info/www/bejne/Y4CWY3ecgNeEr5I

[@theresamcgallicher]

Its amazing to me that you sell things for so much without actually knowing what they are! 😅 Do you just price it for $200 if you cant find any info? Didnt know Cracker Barrel merch was a BOLO. 🤔

[@michaelbranch1906]

Man...love your stuff but i listen with headphones and that "tsk" sound you make between every sentence really hurts the ears...

thanks for the heads up. i’ll figure out how to edit those out in future videos
