Love the beginning of the video. I am new to selling men’s clothing on eBay. I get really stressed out over what could go wrong at times. I think I will relax in about 3 months. My point is there too many stressful video on KZbin with what could go wrong with eBay. I been really enjoying your video because they are positive and more upbeat. Thank you.

[@TaylorExchange]

Hey Wanda thank you so much! Best medicine might be to lay off the KZbin. Feel free to reach out on Instagram if you need to.

[@Sandra___P]

Lulu should have a printed size in a circle in a pocket. Zoom in on the circle and you will see the style number that makes the circle. Go take a look. They're sneaky

[@TaylorExchange]

Thanks Sandra P That is really sneaky! I will have to look closer at those when it comes to listing time!

[@ia2852]

That was a awesome floral Ralph Lauren

[@TaylorExchange]

I agree! I took an offer of $70 plus shipping. Sold in a week.

[@pepperkrewereseller8242]

Thank you for teaching. I'm a fan of thrift a life as well. His Manifesto is awesome. Congrats on the new born, that will be an amazing journey. Thanks for what you do!

[@TaylorExchange]

No problem Krewe. The video where Matt talks about thrifting as a war zone was one of the funniest things I've seen. And thanks I love being a dad.

[@mrslehman3]

Thanks for the new bolos!

[@TaylorExchange]

Hey Michelle your welcome! The hard part is finding them at a store that doesn't know their true resell value!

[@midnitestar0820]

Hey Sean! New subscriber here. I believe that pair of purple Peter Millar shorts is a reference to the 1980's movie Caddyshack. Very funny movie for it's time. I'm enjoying your quirky, fun style of videos.

[@TaylorExchange]

Hi Kelly! Yes, I believe you are correct on the Caddyshack inspired swim trunks. Thank you, I am enjoying filming and editing these videos!

[@susanhaendel7094]

Those Peter Millar swim trunks reminded me of Caddyshack - the gopher, Bill Murray's camo bucket hat, the dynamite.

[@TaylorExchange]

Hey Susan, that might be where the inspiration for those came from!

[@EricSmith-wt2qu]

Another great broadcast! Just getting started and find your programming to be very informative. Thanks😎

[@TaylorExchange]

Thanks Eric I'm glad you are liking it!

[@samanthasessions3079]

Love watching your videos. Lots of great info you give.

[@TaylorExchange]

Thank you Samantha Sessions. I'm glad you are enjoying them!

[@NiftyNookThrift]

Nice haul, Sean! Everlane is its own deal (not Anthro). It’s a great brand, super minimalist and classic. I came across my first Depart West piece a few weeks ago and was going to pick it up on style and then realized it’s from Urban Outfitters…which made it even better! 😁

[@TaylorExchange]

Thanks Sara. I will remember that moving forward. It is a clean looking short for sure. I wish I knew what an Urban Outfitter was 😅

[@rick9705]

Anything sky color for fishing is great especially for sight fishing bass in the spawn it's essentially camouflage to help not spook fish in super shallow water.

[@TaylorExchange]

That is an excellent tip! I’ll be looking out for them when I go sourcing.

[@rick9705]

@@TaylorExchange Huk and fishing are big where I live. Wish I could find it at every garage sale, but unfortunately see a lot more Columbia. lol

[@TaylorExchange]

@@rick9705 I hear you there. Columbia sells too just for a lot less.

[@rick9705]

My wife always tries to pickup Magellan at yard sales I try to slap it out of her hand fast as possible. lol

[@TaylorExchange]

@@rick9705 If it’s cheap enough and the right size you are slapping away some profit!

[@janezambrowski8383]

Hi ! Happy to find your Channel. Your baby is so cute :) Great Haul btw, you got some fast sellers

[@TaylorExchange]

Hi Jane. I'm happy you found the channel! Yes Baby Seth will steal many hearts. I've already sold a few of those pieces!

[@hollyfranks6732]

The FootJoy jacket… that Titelist patch should bring you about $50 extra in comps

[@TaylorExchange]

Hey Holly, that is absolutely right. I might have left some money on it though. It sold really fast.

[@hollyfranks6732]

I’m at the point where you are showing Arc’teryx. I found a Lorum Hoody in orange a few days ago. I paid $2.50 and it sold in literally 6 hours…for $150! It had holes which I stitched and the pocket was torn. I stitched that too. Love Matt from thrift-a-life I heard about it from him. Thanks for all the content! I sell a lot of Peter Millar and FootJoy as well🙃

[@TaylorExchange]

@@hollyfranks6732 Dang Holly! That’s a great sale!

[@stardavis6618]

Wow you got some amazing finds! Peter Millar chino pants sell really well too. Even with minor flaws

[@TaylorExchange]

Thanks Star, I agree Peter Millar are great sellers!

[@carmenrivera3693]

I was checking vero list and Vuori is not listed. However to my surprise Abercrombie, American Eagle, Harley Davidson and other common brands we resell are listed.

[@TaylorExchange]

Hey Carmen! Thank you doing that research! I think I'll list the size small Vuori trunks. I typically stay away from New with Tags. I think major brands don't want their newest lines leaked to the reselling market.

[@bryanronning]

I put mesh instead of netted for the swim trunks, wonder what gets more searches.

[@TaylorExchange]

Mesh is good, I misspoke there I typically put lined.

[@goofydumbgoofyhobtch2765]

Might want to research the Peter Millar, based on pattern it sounds like a nod to the movie “caddy shack”

[@TaylorExchange]

Ah ya I probably under sold that one.

[@goofydumbgoofyhobtch2765]

@@TaylorExchange lol I was worried. That’s okay, only us old folks got the reference

[@MissCSStudent]

Look in the pockets for a printed size. Sometimes they hide in there. On the Lululemon pants.

[@TaylorExchange]

Thanks Melissa, I'll have to do that!

[@hollyschuyler4885]

Another great video Sean! I'm really learning a lot about brands. One thing I've been kind of surprised by is the demand for vintage London Fog. I've only been doing Ebay for a short time and I sell every London Fog jacket that I list. I think I've sold 6 thus far. Any vintage jacket seems to sell well right now, London Fog, Towncraft and Misty Harbor are all fast sellers.

[@TaylorExchange]

Thank you Holly that's makes me happy. That's awesome your finding profit in some brands that are typically looked over. In the early years, I spent hours going to the thrift store after my day job searching comps in the thrift stores. I don't typically sell jackets but I may dip into some London Fog. Thanks for the tip!

[@hollyfranks6732]

Dang! I’ll have to look out for that! I see London Fog all the time! Thanks Holly!

[@marilynwilson2326]

I sold a Polo Ralph Lauren shirt for $250 a few years ago! My very first BIG SALE! ☺️

[@TaylorExchange]

Wow Marilyn, That's amazing! I've never sold any clothing item for that much. What kindof shirt was it?

[@resellingwithjon]

New sub here and kinda-new reseller with a 3 month old channel lol. Anyway, some good stuff there for sure man. All the best with your sales.

[@TaylorExchange]

Thanks Jon, I appreciate the sub.

[@meredithmiranda629]

Hi. Sean. Good video vanity. Your aunt Mere❤

[@TaylorExchange]

Hey Tia! Thank you thank you 🙏 😀

[@Killacorn]

I’ve sold 2 vuori pants a few month ago nothing happened, but maybe I got lucky. Great video!

[@TaylorExchange]

That's awesome Killacorn. I have not decided but I do know of some others lile yourself that sell the brand without issue. Thanks for the input.

[@JuniperJax]

Firstly..wow to finding so many swim trunks in February; 2nd..Nasty Mustard is so in right now, really; 3rd..do you take the ikea bags into the Thrift with you? Do you call it "The thrift " because BIG Yumbo rubbed off on you? . YES, interested in pant photography... AND, look at you go your at 1.92K ALREADY! . Soak in that baby boy because tomorrow he'll be graduating high school..♡

[@TaylorExchange]

I think I heard TechnSports say "The Thrift" but I was watching Big Yumbos videos a few months ago. He is pretty funny. I'll keep an eye out for Mustard! I'm just really excited for my son to start walking so I can play with him more!

[@jackiegerarde9938]

New subscriber. You said Ralph Lauren is your favorite brand to sell so I thought you should know Lauren is pronounced like snorin'. If you've heard of Lauren Bacall, like that. LORE en. Ralph's last name was Lifshitz. He was tired of being teased. His cousins had already changed their name to Lawrence. He liked the sound of that but wanted his own name. So changed to Ralph Lauren. Most youtubers pronounce wrong but a few get it right. Cayley Elaine is a big one, great channel. Your intros are really great. And congrats on becoming a dad.

[@TaylorExchange]

Thank you for the history lesson Jackie. Spelling and pronunciation are some of my weakness. Cayley is a great person i really like her., I'll talk with her about Ralph Lauren so she can join the rest of us in pronouncing it incorrectly! 😂 jk. I'll practice saying Lauren, he has helped me make a lot of money. And thank you, I love being a dad!

[@cynthia28]

Yes you are correct! Pronounced like Lauren Conrad. Oprah did a great interview with Ralph Lauren and his family in their home I’m sure it’s here on KZbin.

[@JuniperJax]

What if...we were all out there lookin for LIFSCHITZ polos...

[@eastcoasttreasures5736]

I've been selling on and off of ebay (recently branched out to Mercari and Posh), have almost 500 items on EB. Just found you on KZbin. Thanks for great content. I am interested to know how you tell your customers that the shipping on their second plus items is significantly less. I understand the first item is $8.99, and the second is approx. $2.99 shipping, but how do you let your customers know that? Thanks. I just went way back to the beginning of your KZbin videos, love seeing your growth. Thanks again.

[@TaylorExchange]

Thanks East Coast, Those early videos were all over the place! I was working full time repairing commercial copiers and building eBay and trying my hand at KZbin! So I have a quick key set up on my phone and this is the exact message. "I have a reduced shipping discount. First item is $8.99 any additional item is $2.99" The important thing to note is it says REDUCED shipping discount not a combined price. A lot of time people want to buy 3 items and only pay $8.99. I charge $14.97 shipping on 3 items. However, if they balk at that, I tell them to send lower offers on the item OR (in the nicest way possible) "Maybe these aren't the shirts for you" At the end of the day they picked my items because it is likely the best deal they could find.

[@kirstenscholz4482]

Hello from Germany 🙂 Lou-Lou has the size in the pockets

[@kirstenscholz4482]

Or at the zipper

[@TaylorExchange]

Thank you Kristen Scholz from Germany. I will check that out!

[@robl4079]

Just stumbled on to your page and binging your content. Great stuff! Just so you know Huk is actually pronounced 'Hook' as it's a fishing brand.

[@TaylorExchange]

Thanks Rob, Nothing better then a good binge every once and a while. Ah yes the Huk brand. I will try and remember it is Hook.

[@robl4079]

@@TaylorExchange not sure where my second comment went, but if you're worried about weight of an item going over a pound you can always head over to Pirateship and purchase USPS Cubic shipping. Clothing can typically be squashed down to a pretty small size and the price is usually comparable to First Class.

[@TaylorExchange]

@@robl4079 That is good advise. I was looking for that comment to. If it was about using the free supplies for priority shipping. I actually ship first class if it is under a pound. I've found out that with same day/next day shipping when I get my items to the post earlier in the morning first class travels as fast as priority mail.

[@jeffpoffenberger2047]

Do you wash your thrift items before reselling?

[@TaylorExchange]

I make sure they are clean before posting. A viewer mentioned in eBays policy it says to launder all items. It also says no stained items which I don’t understand because their are a lot of stained items on eBay. Best practice would be to wash all items.

[@anthonybone6736]

Bro. My area now when up the prices. For one polo shirt $12.99. Cmon bro how can you make money with that prices.

[@TaylorExchange]

Hey Anthony, you can not make money net paying that much for polos. My average cost per hour item is between $3-$4

[@anthonybone6736]

Here in california everything when up so high. It’s ridiculous. What can you suggest?

[@TaylorExchange]

@@anthonybone6736 looking for stores with cheaper prices, maybe try sourcing online, drive further away for thrifting. It’s a tough thing. Reselling has gotten more difficult for sure.

Great channel Taylor. What’s your eBay link
