I just want to say how much I admire that you consider employees of the post office/Marshalls/other stores apart of your team. It's a great perspective and it's true. We need more people like ya'll in this world! Those who view all people as valuable (especially in customer service) and treat them as such. Plus, you never know what those connections may bring you!! That is all :)

[@rnzynow]

Sheldon Button dont kick yourself. We never source pairs we can’t easily show the size tag to a customer. We also don’t source pairs we haven’t thoroughly researched. Always check comps and pass if you’re not confident what they will sell for on the marketplace you plan to sell them on.

[@rnzynow]

Lawrence L. What brand of shoes do you purchase that costs $20 retail?

[@rnzynow]

Lawrence L. We source pairs that we can flip for profit. Not sure why you’re comparing shoes in the thrift to shoes in Costco....a pair could cost $100 in the thrift but if it’s worth $300 it’s a good buy. A $20 pair in Costco is probably not worth flipping for profit. You’re comment doesn’t make sense....

[@gerardo8578]

Great info thank you guys! Q - when building connections with thrift shops do you tell them you are resellers? I just wonder if a manager would look at me weird for shopping at goodwill to resell for taking good cheap shoes from those that may need them. Just curious thanks!

[@rnzynow]

Jerry Cortes yes we’re always honest with who we are and what we do. Don’t feel weird about buying shoes to resell....the thrifts are reselling shoes they were given for free.

Hey Rnzy! just wondering what you mean by the "comp" on a pair of shoes. If it does mean compensation as I thought it does where do you get compensation for them from?

[@rnzynow]

Great question 🤝 What we mean by “comps” is you can look up the “completed sales” of a shoe to see what they are selling for. You then compare that to your buy cost to see if it will be profitable.

[@kastironwoman6009]

HI Ryan. Great Video. Love the great camerawork. You are able to show pretty much everything really well. But- Question: So when you sell the Women's Muck Boots that cost $30, are you going to say they cost the $8.?? for the overall average Cost of all the shoes together that day, or are you going to say they were 30? Question #2: Is the averaging the cost of all the shoes for the day a viable business model or is it just your way of staying within a budget? I really do like that. Question #3: Do you use a calculator (phone) to add up the cost after you review the shoes before buying? Question #4- Your closing Featured a pair of LL Bean Gore-Tex Hikers Which cost $0. Thats ZERO COST- sold for 100, fees of $20, and you said the profit was 27.50. No way- the Profit should be $80- unless I am missing something here. Sorry for all the questions. I just have an inquisitive mind. My daughter takes me to the doctor with her cause I always ask a lot of questions.

[@rnzynow]

Yes we average our buy cost every 7 days so the Muck boots are $8. And the GoreTex boots are in on consignment (zero buy cost to us) and based on our consignment agreement with that client we made $27.50 when they sold.

[@kastironwoman6009]

​@@rnzynow You don't consign your merchandise to others to sell, someone Asked you to sell their boots for them- Got it. Do you have a degree or take a lot of accounting classes? Seems that your way is a LOT EASIER than keeping track of the cost of every single shoe- I spend half my time keeping track of what I bought where and for how much!!
