@@ThriftALife I used to watch a lot of reselling videos, but as my own store has grown, I naturally have less time to watch videos. I won’t watch someone pull orders for 45 minutes. It’s a time killer and I don’t learn anything, so I don’t really gain anything. In that 45 minutes, I could add 15+ listings probably. I deal in mostly media and collectibles, but I like to flip through clothes when I’m out, just in case something obvious (but not obvious) comes along.

this is a nice channel, i like it so far, it just has good info and not much clickbait or random videos to fill up space. i prefer having fewer videos, and shorter ones, that are more to the point like this. a lot of ebay youtubers feel like they are more focused on youtube than on ebay, and trying to turn youtube into their main income stream by putting out 2 or 3 videos a day sometimes, mostly of filler content. this one seems like you are a genuine ebayer who also does youtube, rather than someone who wants to make youtube their main focus.

A reselling buddy has advised me that certain Howler Bros shirts sell much faster than others, and it's good to try to identify what model you're actually selling. Also - the numbers on BKE were a tad deceptive. The brand itself has 3x sellthrough on Ebay but men's sweaters have low sellthrough and men's shirts are about 50% sellthrough. The jeans appear to be the strongest BKE item right now.

Another random comment on an old video with a BOLO you might have a shot at in California: ORKNOT cycling clothing. New to me as of a few days ago when I found a zip up cycling jacket in a Goodwill. Doesn't look like much, just a plain black jersey with a nothing logo, easy to pass over. Checked the comps and sell-through, impressive. They're rare and in demand. The jacket I found was in perfect condition and retails for close to $300. I don't know what makes them so special, the fabric and seams were nice for sure though. San Francisco brand and made in California. That's probably why it's so expensive, the workers are probably paid in gold bullion and get free avocado toast in the yoga room on their breaks. I listed it yesterday and it has half a dozen watchers and over 100 views, no takers yet but I haven't send out any offers (I might just sit on it and see if someone bites - kind of like beach chair, bait and beer fishing, instead of fly fishing.)
