If you tell a non-reseller that you sold an item in a matter of minutes on Ebay. Their response: "That's good!" If you tell a reseller friend they will console you because we all shared the emotional trauma of brief excitement immediately followed by crippling regret.

[@mattk8810]

Why regret?

[@RetrObscurity]

@@mattk8810 It's a joke. If we sell an item too quickly, we think it was priced too low.

[@kayladufour5293]

Typically if an item sells that fast, you priced too low ​@mattk8810

[@codingandgamingwithadam]

because it means that you sold it for too little if it went in minutes@@mattk8810

[@kimburgmuller2617]

If it sells too quickly, you priced it to too cheaply. 😮

[@JenniferLewis-xy3wf]

Really like how you also included the lowest selling items. It is good for people to see the mixture of good and bad sales.

My 2023 was lower than 2022 due to not focusing on Ebay. I changed jobs back in August, so I've been hyper focused on the new job. My December ended up being my best month of the year. I won a pallet of Harley Davidson parts for $60 at an online auction near me. I have only sold 2 items off the pallet for a total of $1,050 gross, $872.02 after all the fees and freight. My best sell of the year was one of those items. It was a 100th anniversary HD fuel cap, new in the package from 2003, it sold for $600. Breaking down my cost per item on the pallet, I have about $5 in this part. Needless to say I was thrilled! I enjoy your channel, keep up the good work!

[@chaicharin]

Did 100k in 2022 and 75k in 2023 so far with the same profit level doing this part time.

[@justinresells]

good work!

[@TheWildwoodPicker]

Wow, that is a very big difference between 2022 and 2023. That has a big eye opener for sure. I hope you do much better in 2024. I hope all resellers do much better in 2024 too. Merry Christmas and Happy New Year to you and your family!

[@radgraham]

Great way to display Flipwise. Will be perfect for me so I can ditch my spreadsheet. Im on your notification list. Merry Christmas!

We found a pair of Cartier glasses frames that sold on eBay for $700 recently. We are still in shock. We bought a bag of glasses/lens frames at a goodwill for $20. The bag also had a pair of Oakleys and a couple of pairs of ray bans all of which sold for $40+.

[@eliasmcdsipe]

I just came across a bunch of Wii games and sold them on eBay this weekend. Thanks for motivating so many people here Justin!

[@petesnyder6281]

he Pyle National marker lamps were used on the cabooses before they got rid of the cabooses. I've had a couple of them in the past.

[@Seasidesalesfl123]

Small and heavy BOLO! Some of my best sales were items didn’t quite know what they were but small. I’ll have to up my game and add the heavy part to my searches.

[@ericschill842]

Hey Justin, thanks for being open and honest and very informative. Hope you enjoy the holiday season.

[@vickiehanan5686]

Wow lots of great finds in 2023 !!!

[@deartolaphx]

Thanks for sharing Justin very informative and transparent video loved it! Cheers from Arizona and Happy Holidays!

[@Dabshanks]

Those are still good numbers it aint nothing to shake a stick at

[@mattk8810]

Its not much money after fees and shipping. About 15k net

[@BoofYou]

​@@mattk8810 I'd guess more like $25k or so.

[@Dabshanks]

@@mattk8810 depends on how you look at it if it's part time income from home is better than making the same money with a boss and travel to a job site. And if you really need the money or just saving.

[@kreni014]

Great content as always! I enjoy your videos because they are all inclusive, the ups and the downs. And then you explain the middle ground as well

[@travis6343]

Great video man. Really enjoyed this.

[@Lucenator69]

wow, the first thing you showed, the Gator skateboard might have done more, much more if you found the right collector bc of the story behind it. I met him in 1991 at the Münster Skateboarding World Championship in Germany and 2 months later (l think) he was in jail for murdering a girl and got life !

[@terryhamilton2.0]

yup, this could easily be worth more, great find

[@mickeyleonard5203]

Justin, love your vids and appreciate your willingness to give back to the community. I've learned so much from you. I started selling on eBay part-time this past Mar and have incorporated many of your techniques to increase sales. Listing multiples every day is the biggest boost to my sales. I just wanted to share my recent quickest sale of 14 minutes. I bought a NOS 1980 Coleman PEAK1 Backpack Stove and didn't realize until I got home it was NIP since the pkg was pretty roached. Did my due diligence and threw it out there for $123.30 (.30 ending another suggestion of yours), expecting to have to make multiple offers on watchers before it eventually sold. To my shock, it sold w/in minutes and at the full asking price. Woohoo! I couldn't get over myself, lol. But, it makes up for another item purchased at the same sale where I failed to inspect the item and what I thought was a new Nest thermostat, was the old one wrapped up in the packaging. Win some, lose some. My favorite sourcing is the Church Rummage sale and am fortunate to have one within a mile from my house and it runs a sale every two months. Amazing finds there. Ok, enough rambling, thanks again for what you do. It's appreciated. Mickey P.S. If you ever want to take a gander, my eBay handle is scubacuba2

[@goofydumbgoofyhobtch2765]

Grrrrjust past on a thrasher magazine T shirt lol. Sell through didn’t seem great

[@Habitat21]

Great video!

[@boxdenfresh]

Do you believe in listing daily? Or just as much good stuff as you can when you can

[@korban007]

Hi Justin, not sure what makes you videos great. Have lots of layers and easy to see what’s going on. Same time your audio seems amazing. It’s just different than any other reseller I’ve heard. Imagine it’s your voice which is great, maybe you record in a wooden flood room? Good mic, good FX processing? I find it amazing whatever your doing snd curious as work in the event production field. Far as the cheaper games, I’d lot them up to make them worth your time. Offer something like 20+ in one go.

[@justinresells]

Thank you! I use a Shure MV7 and do post processing in Audacity.

[@SamGotFired]

Great info and great video as always. Do you put the items you aren't sure about in auction or do you guestimate?

[@justinresells]

I very rarely do auctions: kzbin.info/www/bejne/Y4CWY3ecgNeEr5I

[@modandpopthrift1230]

Thanks for always having great videos with unique and useful info… Do you plan to release Flipwise I was thinking of getting my reseller genie but think I would like your better if it is available soon-ish?

[@justinresells]

yep, it’ll be available soon but if you’d like to beta test it send me an email at [e-mail] and i’ll get you in sooner!

[@TheFunLovinResellers]

Great video! How do you find how many listings you do each year? Thanks and Happy Holidays

[@justinresells]

ebay doesn’t make it easy to find it which is part of why i built my own software to track - that’s what you see in the background of the video

[@mcarroll78]

Thanks for all the information. Your net number fees, shipping, supplies and your cost of goods sold?

[@justinresells]

yep, net is gross income minus all expenses

[@mcarroll78]

Is the $50k sales figure the gross number before eBay fees and the cost of the products you buy? Meaning your net number is closer to $30k. Thx u!

[@justinresells]

@@mcarroll78 Yes, I talk about the Net at 13:35 in the video

[@mcarroll78]

Awesome thx u!! I’m part time as well as I work full time as RN in the hospital. Lastly do u have any videos on this flipwise website you are using. Looks nice!!
