eBay Reseller FACES FACTS In The Comment Section

[@dawnmole5517]

Being there when the first racks come out is the only way? Not true! I can go at 4:30 in the afternoon and find plenty of great stuff. You aren’t taking long enough to look or you’re choosing the wrong stores. It’s more than possible. It’s how a lot of us do it. ❤

Change your sourcing methods and your profit margins go up! What are new racks? Lmao you're paying top dollar for your item it becomes not worth your time. People like Tech coming out flooded the market it will settle back down when people realize no, this is not easy money it takes a lot work!

[@KnottyThrifts]

To me it sounds like you're not willing to change your sourcing to make things more affordable and easier. WhatNot, Goodwill Outlets, and Wholesale are examples of how you could get more items at a cheaper price. I am not a hater, and I don't want to bash anyone it's just my opinion. Good luck and i hope that things get easier as the rush of resellers give up and move on to the next fast money making idea they get.

[@layson9061]

Hi Sean, I enjoy your videos and commend you for being agile and making a change. In business, you have to be aware of the environment and a business model that once worked will stop working at some point. Anyway, I work in Finance full time but love having a small reselling business where I can practice learned biz principles at low risk. I've looked at reselling at all angles and here are the challenges. If you hire consulting firm to analyze your business, they'll ask you to do a SWOT analysis. Strengths, Weakness, Opportunities and Threats. Unfortunately, most resellers are experiencing a decline in these factors due to increased competition, higher COGS and inability to differentiate (everyone does the same thing and buys the same stuff they hear on YT). Also, this business is impossible to scale so growth is limited. My conclusion is it's a great thing to do on the side and for extra money but to rely on it to make a decent living is not feasible.

[@abyssal5948]

One thing I remember about your videos is you commute like 2 hours to source? If that's the case then there is your problem right there. I don't hit a place more than 1 hour away and drive a used prius. Also I watch your sourcing videos while I source to learn for myself and I feel like you're missing a lot of things because you only pick up the same stuff and some things sell for WAY less than you say they will. Personally I've been netting way over 100k a year focusing on higher quality and lower volume, also some flea markets and people set things aside for me now at them. I am getting sick of hearing "Prices at the thrift are increasing so I just can't make as much money". Bro, if you have more knowledge than the thrift stores and other resellers, you will dominate. I can't count how many times I have found 50$+ profit items priced like every other short sleeve shirt. It's all about learning, learning, and learning.

[@TaylorExchange]

I couldn't disagree more. Sounds like your in the land of milk and honey.

[@abyssal5948]

@@TaylorExchange The landscape is forever changing, do you think you miss out on a lot of profitable things due to lack of knowledge? We all do, just keep learning and you start to find things others miss and even things or keywords that your past self may have missed. I've been doing this for years and Ebay has gotten a bit more difficult but in reality, it just changed. If you don't change with it, you will fail.

[@dirtisbetterthandiamonds]

So many resellers start dabbling in other things but what happens is they become a Jack of all trades and master of none. This usually occurs after giving away all the valuable trade secrets and the content (and inventory) dries up. Its like giving away all your oars and the boat starts sinking Lol. Im 20+ years into ebay and I will never give away my trade secrets for a few KZbin pennies. I've seen so many come and go and so very few get big and be able to stick around. Most of them end up treating resellers the same way ebay treats resellers by starting memberships and patreons and classes= FEES. We become the profit centers when the selling dries up. "The only people who make money at the Antique Malls are the ones charging the sellers monthly rent" type of thing. Maybe its time for everyone to go about their business and keep themselves to themselves (old Irish saying lol). Best of luck whatever you do but try to pick one thing and do it reallllly well 😉 You dont wanna be all hat and no cattle...

[@Runningyahu]

In my opinion, I see you're growing significantly as a business owner. It doesn't make sense for you to work harder making good income when you can work less and make a better income. You're a bright guy. You've taught me so much about being a clothing reseller. It's not for everyone for sure, unless you pay to play (invest a lot in inventory) or are just super good at it, it's hard work. It can be a great hustle for being able to work from home, especially when having kids and need a flexible schedule. I've served in Iraq, worked as a correctional officer for 10 years, transitioned to a full time stay at home mom, and now with kids at school full time, this is is my hustle. We all have different stories and paths. Thanks again, and I look forward to all your future videos and hearing about your successes.

[@TaylorExchange]

Thanks, glad to hear you answered our nations call. 🫡 I appreciate your insight and I agree reselling is great for flexible schedule and kids. I'lll try to stay connected with this channel in some form or fashion.

[@_calebsells]

You're so right above average income is different for everyone. My goal this year was to NET 100k profit. Got close last year but not gonna happen with my current model. We'll keep finding a way though 🤝

[@TaylorExchange]

Ya, it's tough growing something to the point where the grow is no more. I'm sure you'll find the ways to adjust and continue crushing it.

[@FrugalRad]

Full transparency, I don't follow you super closely but I have enjoyed your videos over the last year or so. I appreciate your sharing. One recurring thought I had early on watching your videos was you didn't seem to have super strong sources for inventory with strong margins- and did wonder if your business would be sustainble- sounds like you've been adjusting as needed, so good on you for that. One question I think may be helpful for any reseller to ask themselves before committing to a niche is- do I have an unfair advantage? Or, am I uniquely suited for this? Since you brought up Tech, I'll use him as an example- he says he never WANTED to go into clothing- he chose clothing because he realized it was the lowest hanging fruit for him. Anyways, keep up the good work and I hope you find a good groove.

[@TaylorExchange]

Well thank you for tuning in. I agree with the sourcing tip. I felt I had the knowledge and drive to make the long sourcing trip work but others quickly caught up in skill. I have heard Tech say that but he was also growing and succeeding a decade ago when the business was still extremely profitable.

[@Shinobi001]

It isn't about the margins it is about the dollar amount. Margins matter, and more so when you're starting out. Would you rather buy a car for 9k and sell it for 10k(10% margin) or buy a ps2 game for $50 and sell for $100(50% margin)? Doesn't matter what the items are I'm just saying random items before people get technical like "Well you know a car can have a lot wrong with it" I know.. That isnt the point. I can buy 5 50 dollar items and flip em for double making 50 off each item and make 250 in 1 day or I can buy 2 300 dollar collections and make 600 in one day with the exact same margin. It is about quality, not quantity. More specifically quality but more consistently(is the goal).

Lots of issues effecting the prices for EBay sellers, between new platforms, Goodwill selling online, and the boom in resellers has lowered sales and prices. It gets back to supply and demand more supply and lower demand hurts prices and sales. Good luck with whatever you decide to do.

When the economy is in a downturn more people are likely to buy things used online.

[@TaylorExchange]

@@TheDustyOldHat Or stop buying altogether.

[@TheDustyOldHat]

@@TaylorExchange Depends what you sell. People still buy athletic stuff, work stuff, basics, and they're more likely to look for it used to save money. Fashion/style brands maybe not so much. But Americans have a debt problem and are hyper-concerned with their appearance, so bad or good economy, many people will buy things like clothing and media/entertainment during bad times, even if it means going into debt. Lots of macroeconomic studies on this.

[@francoiso.5341]

To add, economic downturn didn’t stop people from buying PS5. PlayStation 5 came out during the Covid pandemic. Where many were losing their jobs. PS5 was sold out upon release.

[@remycalypso6177]

Dude the 2.5 hr drive to source is downright wild. Imagine the people that live in the immediate area of those stores you’re driving to. They can hit the stores everyday for 2 weeks and spend less time driving than you spend driving one day. That gives them way more chances to find higher quality new items. Those people are the ones this side hustle is great for. So easy for them to get 25 items per day in 2 hours, list for 2 hours, ship for 1 hour. 5 hours per day 100k profit for year. Side note: next great opportunity you find don’t get online and tell everyone else how to do it. I get that you can potentially make exponentially more money assuming you get a large audience etc etc but you could just put your head down and go super hard at the actual opportunity for 5 years and retire and not have to find a new opp because of overcrowding.

[@remycalypso6177]

Or just move to the city you source from, hit the thrifts daily, discourage the competition into thinking there are no good items at the stores cuz you’re taking them all each morn, list like 75 items per day and then get out while the opportunity is still there

[@theresourcerie]

I drive 2 hours once a week to get enough items for one week. D.C. is bigger than my city and the thrift stores are massive. I'd rather do that than drive all over my town getting 5-7 items here and there. I can hit one salvation army in D.C. for two hours and walk out with 50 solid items bc of just how massive they are.

[@TaylorExchange]

Very true. What is interesting is the current way I make money would not be possible without developing the skills I did when creating this channel. But yes I agree with everything you’re saying here. 👍

[@donkeywaffle5736]

You could and would kill it by simply hitting retail arbitrage Ross, TJ Maxx, Burlington, Kohls, etc.... List less items with way more profit per item, eBay gives you more traffic. Only downside is that each item will cost more but IT IS worth it.

[@TaylorExchange]

@@donkeywaffle5736 In my local area we have one of each of those. I’d still have to make a long travel day to source and that is the main thing I’m trying to remove from my schedule. But I do agree there is some money in that game.

[@elifern2642]

It's tough being a clothing reseller nowadays. Especially in your case where you're driving 2 hrs to source. We do this full time and have started slowly pivoting to other niches. Our store is about 90% clothing and the rest hard goods, collectibles, etc. We hope to flip that. It seems that everything resellers, in general, might be doing better than clothing resellers. Not sure if you've ever considered switching things up. I saw a guy in my hometown who went from selling only clothing to selling car parts as well. Now he's killing it. The point is to diversify. I hope things work out for you no matter where your path takes you!

[@TaylorExchange]

@@elifern2642 Car parts is a great category. Yes things are looking up with other businesses in my life right now.

[@Resell_crazy]

I can relate....the best thing being in small towns and less thrift stores I tend to hit yard sales and if they have great clothes I give them my number and offer to come back when over and buy the clothes if they give a good deal...its work a few times....also buy sometimes on local market place on Facebook and I tell them the same thing and what I will pay so sometimes they call me when cleaning out closets or in need of fast cash....I work full time so my ebay has gone south but trying to figure it out so I'm not working 24 7.....its a hustle but every sell is worth the gamble.

[@WonderWhatHappened]

A few years ago I quit selling on eBay ( I 've sold over 4000 items over 6 or 7 years )but I still thrift and have amassed hundreds of items with Tags and some top brands but just haven't had the drive to list them. I purged and fine tuned what I have a couple of times and will eventually sell again but the drive isn't there. Fortunately , we have a few stores that still sell clothes (even top brands) for $1 or $2 and you can even talk down the price with the right cashier.

[@TaylorExchange]

$1-$2 per item is a beautiful piece thing. 👍

[@robertk2530]

Location Location Location! Where you live also determines your success on Ebay. I live off one of the Great Lakes where a lot of wealthy people live. Cost of the thrifts are not high. There are 20 great stores within an hour. My Planet Fitness is right next to a Goodwill and the new racks come out like clockwork a 5. Guess who is done working out at five? (me). I dont think anyone else has gotten one high dollar men's clothing item from that store besides me for months lol My goal is to keep any other reseller out of that store that shops mens clothing. They will give up! I really believe where you live determines to a great degree whether you can make it in clothing. I was in Miami after a cruise and went to a couple of stores, and there is no way I could do reselling in Miami and be as successful.

[@petesnyder6281]

I have seen so many full time resellers that are switching to other platforms than ebay but are really taking a financial hit. Without other sources of income I think it would be hard. I watched a video last evening of a prominent reseller who was in tears over sales and negative comments. I see a trend with this and hope it picks up but may not for a few months. I just do this part time and make decent money, but I couldn't survive on it alone. No channel, just a nice retirement to live off of. Good luck to you and your family in your future adventures.

Hey Sean. Good idea for video content - i.e. your reading/ weighing in on some of the thread comments from your last installment. I really, really think that a LOT depends on Nov. 5th. Most folks are aware, to some degree, that there’s a HUGE undercurrent of instability, uncertainty, and desperate volatility in the country going into the Fall. The experts are forecasting, predicting (the ones we regularly follow, anyway) that 11/5 - IF the election even occurs - plays THE most crucial role in how things will play out going forward. The folks we pay close attention to say, as a collective, that neither side will accept the results of the Presidential election. One guy even thinks this could very well be our last (!). Civil war, breakup of the nation, etc, is a prediction high on the list of most. Pretty disheartening! We live in a time both exciting, but also extremely frightening. Selling used clothes to pay the bills has now become a pretty tenuous and exhausting pastime, with dwindling rewards. So, reading the tea-leaves and then acting appropriately on that analysis is a pretty wise endeavor…

[@TaylorExchange]

I do have to credit a Miss Cooper and her comment section for the inspiration of this style of video. Nov. election will play a part but I don't see cost going down in the economy. Interest rates maybe. I do not believe Civil War is on the table.

Not if we consider the claim on a case-by-case basis (6/14/17 congressional baseball game shooting, 7/23/24 asses-in-the-nation attempt in Pennsylvania on PDJT’s life, to name only two, but examples are myriad). When the huddled masses are hungry and the internet is down… when the weather gets too hot or too cold… when half the population are crying crocodile tears over election results.. Then think BLM and Antifa after G. Floyd, and after the 2016 Prez election… but this time around on steroids.

Idea of make $10 was just not going to work for me store so much and list so much etc. Ralph lauren for me doesn't make a ton anymore. Seeing other youtubers branch out and provide me new brands or jackets/ties etc became more of what I watched. I get what you said about if you cant be first but I think stuff can still be found if you know wide area. I'm not always first but Ill find stuff but I do cover shoes, mens clothing and womens clothing, and anything easy to ship some toys, plush, games, electronics etc. Sometimes I find more of one thing than another. Vintage brown leather footjoy golf shoes just sitting there $6 sold for $100 under a week.

No ADHA but I was never able to sit back on curveballs and would constantly strike out. However, I could identify and sit on change ups and hit those to the opposite field for a base knock.

Tech practiced great trade secrets and discovered a gold mine. Now he’s selling shovels to new times where the internet (including tech) has caused a business that can’t be replicated.

[@TaylorExchange]

You hit the nail on the head with that one.

[@TorranceJPlaylist]

Yep but guess what he still resells even more items now

[@brandonbrown6918]

So your getting out of clothes,

[@TaylorExchange]

No, I know too much on the category but I will be looking into hard goods.

Techs makes way much more off the Facebook group than what he did on ebay

[@TaylorExchange]

Have to ask him. I think he sold like 3 million a year eBay at its highest. Imagine the credit card points in that many labels.

[@TorranceJPlaylist]

Nope made more from ebay. Plus he has to pay those in the group who run calls.

[@Resellingonthespectrum]

I creeped on your store. Please don’t take this the wrong way. I noticed that you have a lot of trash brands express, Hollister, Eddie Bauer etc. I think that’s probably the biggest reason for your sales

[@TaylorExchange]

@@Resellingonthespectrum Thanks for the heads up. 😑

[@CalG1]
