This Is How I’m Able To Source 100 Items From One Thrift Store

[@ajg52100]

Just an FYI: For the swordfish jcrew pants, term you wanna use in listings is “critter pants”. Especially when embroidered (not just screenprinted on).

[@_calebsells]

Appreciate the tip! Never seen that keyword but I'm gonna try it!

[@helpfulcommenter]

there are literally zero listings for "critter pants" in solds... i'm going to be filing that one in the circular file right next to my flesh pony (one time use)

[@angiesatitagain6508]

Wow. This video was a non-stop barrage of fabulous information. Thank you. Subscribed. I will now proceed to binge watch your content!

[@_calebsells]

Welcome aboard! I’m glad you find it helpful!

[@DanielTAGyota]

Can you do a video of brands/models that have a high sell through rate, that you can find fairly readily available (bread and butter items)? I want to get into clothes but I only want to pick items that sell fast, I don't have the time/money or space to hold inventory.

[@_calebsells]

Most of my videos are that exact thing. I try to sell items that sell fast. I currently have under 1200 listings and have sold 1220 in the last 90 days. So my items sell faster than I can list

[@kategarb]

Great info! This is my 27th year selling on ebay (men's clothes) and I still learn something new from each video .. Found your channel when Big Yumbo mentioned it -

[@_calebsells]

Glad it’s been helpful! I learned so much from his videos too

[@lamadeandfound7594]

Great video! I struggle with men's clothing and you have done an excellent job breaking things down. Thank you so much! :)

[@_calebsells]

You're so welcome!

[@oddgoblet]

Wow! So many NWTs!!! I can’t find many of those in our thrift store at all. Thx for the video!!

[@_calebsells]

You are so welcome!

[@jesusmyonlyking2685]

Very helpful and goes right to the point thank you.

[@_calebsells]

Glad it was helpful!

[@nathanferguson3750]

Love your videos! I learn a lot and it helps me look at clothing differently! Also really happy when I find outdoor research! Don't find it too often but it's always sold quick for me

[@_calebsells]

Glad you like them! Yes that’s a fun brand. The hiking pants sell so fast!

[@3valvecd682]

You are da man bro respect !!

[@_calebsells]

Appreciate that!

[@EmptyNestThrifters]

Great info! Thanks for the videos

[@_calebsells]

Glad you like them!

[@SprucedandGussied]

AHH I love your haul! Excellent items and styles as always! I dare to dream to find a thrift here in the SoCal area with so many good brands and nwt too! Thanks for sharing, always learn something new from you!

[@_calebsells]

I think there are red white and blue thrift stores in CA. See if any are close! That’s a good chain. Higher prices but better inventory

[@SprucedandGussied]

@@_calebsells Hi Caleb, thanks so much for the intel. I will definitely look into it. I'm in the Los Angeles area and I typically have to drive out at least 30 min to find something good. Everything here is so picked over and priced up,but I have hope. Wishing you all the great sales! chaching!

[@_calebsells]

thanks so much! you too!

[@SprucedandGussied]

@@_calebsells My pleasure! and I knew you were younger, but 1997?! Even more impressed by your knowledge and success.

[@_calebsells]

1994 - I’ll be 30 in August 🙈

[@aramavakian]

You have a new subscriber great vids and info. Caleb do you ever or think you should wash any of the items you list??

[@_calebsells]

I wash all items from the bins or certain stores where everything feels a bit dirty. Other than that, I only wash items that have a smell, stain or other reason to.

[@GabrielSonnek-vi1cu]

What did you find in the pockets? Your killing me with suspense?

[@_calebsells]

Something that went into the trash quickly 🥴

[@melisaverch4652]

What a great haul!

[@_calebsells]

Thank you!! 😊

[@chriscastino7473]

Caleb, thanks for your help! Are you sourcing mom n pop thrift stores or chain thrifts or both??

[@_calebsells]

Both! My main spot is a local store that has like 3-4 locations

[@jiroz]

Thanks for the great content man. That’s a nice haul!

[@_calebsells]

Thanks for watching!

[@RuzfromtheRez829]

I love your content and I know you probably don’t pick the keywords items are called but “Flesh pony” is wild ! 😅

[@_calebsells]

lol yeah I don't pick them. wouldn't be my choice 🤣

[@thriftingtiger]

Nice Stio and Vuori finds. Those always do well. Thats a sweet Ralph Lauren shirt near the end too. Crazy haul. I dont think I could source 100 items in a week. Lol.

[@_calebsells]

The Ralph Lauren Rugby might be worth a lot more than I thought. Couldn't find any like it!

[@chnettles]

Nice Ibex also...never found one...yet!

[@_calebsells]

I’ve found it a handful of times and it’s never lasted 1 day in my store

[@clairewhitlock-skinner1829]

Great info!!

[@_calebsells]

Thanks!

[@holliwood97]

HI Caleb. How can I get the style codes to Lululemon? you said lulufanatics? then what. so confused on how to look that up. thankyou in advance. GREAT video once again. really enjoying them !!

[@_calebsells]

Sometimes on the size dot, it has a model number. It starts with M on the mens items and W on the womens items. If its not there, I throw it into google lens and see if it pulls it up. Then I search on lulufanatics .com for the model name or number. If its super unique I may search on the site a little to see if I can find the exact model. Sounds complicated but honestly I try for a minute and if it doesn't come up I just use extra keywords and skip model name.

[@holliwood97]

that is so awesome. Thank you thank you thank you that’s what I’ve been trying to learn on the other pieces of clothing and I’ve just really learned that all from you. I so appreciate the knowledge and you sharing it and I think the videos are absolutely great again you’re doing really good.

[@_calebsells]

Thank you so much! I’m trying to help so I’m glad it’s working!

[@georgiasbest1209]

What kind of stores are you sourcing at? You find great quality!

[@_calebsells]

I go to a local thrift chain - most cities have thrift chains other than goodwill, salvation army, etc. that have higher volume of items.

[@dtanner7]

This might seem like a silly question...but its more to get your take/strategy. If you think something will go for 25-30 are you going to put it for slightly higher than 30 to get an offer for 30, or at worst 25?

[@_calebsells]

When I say 25-30 I’m most likely gonna list for 30 and take an offer of 25 or more. Sometimes I’ll list higher or if it’s a slower seller I might list at 25 and try to move it.

[@lf2334]

Do you ever share your eBay store name? I didn't see it in the description. I like to use some resellers stores as a guide to my own in terms of things to look for, photos, key words etc.. No worries if not.

[@davidc4582]

How long do you spend in the thrift to get 100 items? Do you wait for new racks to come out?

[@_calebsells]

About 4 hours. I check them as they come out but I stop when I’ve gone through all the regular sections of menswear

[@davidc4582]

@@_calebsells must be huge selection if it takes 4 hours. Nice!

[@_calebsells]

Yeah there’s a lot of stuff!

[@toadevergreen2561]

I think you can get $30 for that Chico's jacket, since it's new

[@_calebsells]

Sweet! I'm totally fine with that

[@patricksmall1299]

Curious about what you found in those pant's pockets?? I think if it was money you would have told us 😂

[@_calebsells]

Sure would have if it was money 😂

[@TyreliusTheThird]

Mans says ll bean vest ya 30 40 and casually sells it for double lol

[@_calebsells]

haha better than when it sells for way less than what I think in my head 🤣

[@TyreliusTheThird]

@@_calebsells ya you’re not lying about that that’s why I triple check now lol too much stuff going back to goodwill ha

[@Dudeman1646]

where do you source and get these finds?

[@_calebsells]

local thrift chain near me

[@shem3737]

I must be doing something wrong because my sales are not that great at all. I barely get a sale a day with 750 plus items. I know that in the beginning, i was an everything seller, and now im focusing on clothing.

[@_calebsells]

Clothing category can be tough to make a lot of sales. Sourcing fast selling items, pricing correctly, and being willing to accept offers are the keys to success from my perspective. Keep at it!

[@shem3737]

@_calebsells Thank you for your response. I appreciate it.

[@chnettles]

Send me that Robert Graham shirt. I need to look like I have money! 🤑

[@_calebsells]

lol!! yeah maybe I should keep it then too

[@Chicago48]

OH no, not 100 items !!! No time. 😗can you break it up into 2 parts?

[@_calebsells]

I have done it both ways so there will be shorter ones in the future too! For this one you can watch half this time and half next time (:

[@spselman526]

What was in the pocket?

[@_calebsells]

Something that went straight to the trash

[@helpfulcommenter]

@@_calebsells i bet it was a flesh pony

[@helpfulcommenter]

The term "Flesh Pony" makes my skin crawl

[@_calebsells]

If I could change it I would lol

[@jonn443]

Are you hitting Goodwill or salvation Army?

[@_calebsells]

In this video I didn't go to either. I went to a local thrift chain.

[@deborahveryking6441]

Too fast at the end

Can you explain what you mean? I appreciate your feedback!

[@daddyjudd]

Please stop sealing from the poor 🙃

[@_calebsells]

😂😂😂

[@1whitecottagelife770]

Caleb, I really like you, but please stop moving the items up down up down while you're talking, please keep it still, I'm dizzy

[@_calebsells]

Thanks for the feedback! I'll try to improve on that. I talk with my hands so I didn't really notice
