The Landscape of Reselling is Changing -Reseller Car Talk E4

[@la6136]

As a woman I never buy clothes from Shein or Temu even if it is cheap because I always felt like it was a waste of money. The fit and quality was terrible. I will pay up for high quality basic items.

[@Kimberly-wt1nu]

exactly. the best is finding quality items at a thrift store. best of both worlds.

[@pnw-coast]

Yes. I think a lot of people shop on Shein or Temu once, but then once they get their first order and realize how awful the products are then they never shop there again.

[@tv-21]

@@pnw-coast I always shop there because I shop like a billionaire!

[@flippingforreal109]

I have had friends purchase items from Shein and Temu and those items were full of lead and other hazardous Materials. The reason I know this because they tested those product and was amazed at the amount of lead in them. In the U.S. we have standard of what is not allowed but those companies don't follow U.S. Law always.

[@carlyeichsteadt2149]

Very upset that I can't private messages you on what not on daily page

[@mcourageous4510]

SHEIN & Temu are horrible for the environment! This is fast fashion that ends up in our land fills made with non organic cotton, polyester and other synthetic material that don’t decompose. We have to educate everyone about how fast fashion is depleting our natural resources, especially water. Circulatory is our future. Slow fashion is the way to go.

[@averyismycat]

Absolutely agree! Temu and Shein are crap and horrible for the Earth 🌍

[@donkeykong1234]

yes, but so are take out boxes for your 2 bites left from dinner and a plastic bag for your 1 item purchase because it's too heavy to carry to your car lol

[@crystalcole888]

​@@donkeykong1234yeah, they're both bad. So don't do either of them. Or if you have to choose, the takeout containers will break down eventually.

[@nikkigragg8730]

Thank you for this aspect. It's inline with the way my business is set up. I sell vintage collectibles and am also an author. I prefer to add stories / history to my items descriptions. I'll definitely go back and update to elaborate more. I'm trying to find a way to combine my two businesses by selling items that influence a particular scene in my novels. Execution and tying the two together as an experience is something to think about.

[@PocketWatchPanda]

Selling jewelry you are able to resell for much more if you give the history of the item, and a bit about the company, design or material.

[@lifeofmim]

I don’t even like touching SHEIN at the thrift store much less buy it. It’s like plastic.

[@ALLOVERNYC]

Everything works both ways . I would buy a Coachella ticket from you just because i like your videos ,thats a new customer for them . I dont understand them eighther

[@travis6343]

I don’t know if I agree with this. I think it really just depends on a multiple of factors. Depends on the platform, items, demographics, and so on.

[@donkeykong1234]

yeah i can only speak for myself, i'm not going to just blow away money if it's not going to fill a possible need. though, yes if it's 5 bucks at 5 below or dollar tree, i expect much less utility or quality and probably won't even return it if it's not any good

[@travis6343]

@@donkeykong1234 agreed for sure!

Content comment for the algorithm gods.

[@carlogarcia493]

I played the why people shop on temu part to my wife ,she stayed quiet and smiled lol

[@rickjmiles83]

i think all these will fade out ebay is still the best selling platform , in the uk we do have vinted second hand clothing platform people sell alot cheaper on there and fees but there is issues with it like not getting paid straight away you have to wait for seller to mark as received which they dont always do ive waited 1 month for £3 pound payment

[@onlyluvisreal6691]

My van is my dream car. Lol. It truly is for me. I despise temu and I know that's what we're going to see at yard sales and thrift stores for a long time. Whatnot has changed the landscape for a lot of resellers because of people who are buying impulsively the items presented. On ebay, the search engines almost limit your searches by narrowing down too much.

[@kristirose2289]

Now I gotta go give all the plush in my store some kind of story! This will be fun… I always wanted to be a writer 🤪

[@onlyluvisreal6691]

😅😅😅❤❤❤

[@onlyluvisreal6691]

It's actually really an interesting idea 😅❤

[@buddhabeta26]

I love escape rooms! It's my literal favorite hobby.

[@ychongy]

You could just drive your van and play the sports car sounds that you like on your speakers. 😂

[@flippingforreal109]

Shopping on Temu is inexpensive for some people however the quality of Merchandise isn't there and what a lot of people aren't considering is these companies cut cost when producing these products. Therefore you can get and item you think is inexpensive but it's full of Lead, or some other danagerous chemicals. All items from Temu, Shein and others like them should be tested for lead and other hazardous Materials . Cheap doesn't always mean safe and quality I think people forget that when they are shopping at Temu & Shein.

[@donkeykong1234]

they have border patrol people who's job is to seize and test imports for lead

[@ianmarsden8568]

Although its often said that people want experiences over possessions is there a direct corolation? I wonder if this is more of a marketing trend to get the already affluenient to travel more - they have the cash in the first place. Don't forget the people who struggle to afford very neccessary purchases in the first place and then get gaslighted.

[@AkinaSpeedStarsAE86]

so the important question is how do we source these "experience items"

[@Cbgrandtheftauto]

The best advice I can give is get a 90's shitbox, throw about $3-5k in it and you'll have a loud fun smile making daily driver 😁

[@Baddie_you.a.trackstar]

Keep away from electric cars and trucks. They are disasters especially in colder weather

[@gobeklipepe]

Family ordered fragile items from Temu. They shipped it in a black trash bag.

[@onlyluvisreal6691]

😮😮oh lort😂😂

[@gobeklipepe]

@@onlyluvisreal6691 The fam called me to complain about it since I sell vintage fragile goods. Shipping fragile items is a form of art. That Temu seller is a noob.

[@KristenDanotherchanceresale]

TRUTH!

[@donkeykong1234]

i only link pineapples to swingers so if that's not what it means, then i'm lost

[@PensiveArchon]

Brother it always has been, I've said time and time again, as an entrepreneur of 15+ years and a 3rd generation business owner ... Marketing feelings is the best marketing. Do you believe the company Apply makes the best products out there? Talk to an Apple owner about it :).

[@donkeykong1234]

i use both apple and PCs and iphones and androids and actually do believe apple makes way better stuff. is it worth the price premium, yes a little bit. as a reseller, they also sell much faster and for higher dollars for sure.

[@bigegames2019]

I have never read the description for any item purchased on eBay...the app makes it impossible to find, three clicks makes it out of reach of 99% of shoppers. Sorry you got booted from eBay for questionable reasons. I hope your new whatnot streaming is keeping the cash flow going.

[@onlyluvisreal6691]

I noticed that they have a little window that pops up now when you click on the description. I think too many sellers put a ton of irrelevant information in the description. I just put the condition and any issues or flaws in the description and I really want people to read it. I under promise and over deliver if possible. ❤

[@cathyholoway722]

Hello Chris

[@MosiTheGreat]

Just say you're giving away tickets to an unnamed concert at xyz location on xyz date... no concert name, no problem, right?

[@GrimFlips]

Why would anyone continue to shop on temu after reports show they enable forced labor (slavery/human trafficking, anyone?) in China?

[@crystalcole888]

Totally agree. I was hoping more people would bring that up. Thank you for being a decent human being.

[@Baddie_you.a.trackstar]

Because politicians in bed with china...

[@marymartin2719]

Stories? J. Peterman? What goes around comes around.

[@tv-21]

I love shien!

[@onlyluvisreal6691]

Why? I never heard of it until resellers started talking about seeing it at goodwill and then I saw some and it was colorful and cheap. I am curious what you are buying there and why. Thanks in advance for your response.

[@saintjasin]

I don’t think this take is going to age well.

[@suellenfunk1898]

Why are you sitting in your car filming this video? Bizarrely you just think talking you are an influencer. And a previous eBay seller who is grasping at straws.

[@smu7270]

I would never want to be targeting mindless buyers. Consumerism at its absolute worst. Sorry.
