Great video Pete! Number one rule for all those complaining about fees. Ebay provides you with an international market, something that was not possible just a decade or two ago. You can take this to any level you want. Sell one item for 100.00 profit per week or 100 items per week. A single mom can pay her electric bill or car note with the profits every month or you can make it into a six figure + full time income. But don't complain about fees! The profit is in the "buy". Simply make sure you are buying cheap enough to cover the ebay and shipping fees.

[@CyclingSJH]

Bought exactly these for $80 on CL and sold them in 36 hrs for $185. You speak the truth, my man.

[@krillin876]

ATTN newbies, dont do shipping this way. Pete is a highly trained pro and is able estimate due to experience. Make sure you have a box first, then enter the info in the system. There is a size threshold that will send you into a different price structure.

[@jordansky]

Hah yes I had a 39Lb item cost me 86 and change to ship- estmated 45- thought I would make 5 bucks. Live and learn!

[@bigbroauctions]

I've been watching you for a long time, and this is one of your best vids yet!

[@KpxUrz5745]

It can be boring to watch, but actually quite commendable, to be capable of turning over a respectable profit in small period of time. Well done.

[@cmsmith0618]

your videos have helped and inspired me a lot for ebay selling. i done it a little years ago and now im back at it. showing what items you sale is a huge help because some stuff i had no idea would be worth buying. keep them coming and thanks

[@thomasott8327]

great video and love how you addressed an issue that many of us have been telling newer sellers for years which know your product and what your market is willing to grab and not to be afraid to pay up to get up a higher Roi

[@rt3156]

Appreciate your willingness to share your knowledge of the business with us. I've learned a lot. Love your accent as well. Peace!

[@discountedgoods1725]

I started doing ebay for fun and extra money on the side. Then my goal became to atleast make $100 a day, 5 days a week. Even though i have missed it a few times i was able surpass my goal by learning from mistakes when sourcing. that said i love it when you upload videos. Keep them coming please!

[@Painfulwhale360]

Discounted Goods where do you mostly source your items?

[@twisted2291]

Top name products always bring a good price. As long as you can test them 100% before buying them. And you can make a small investment for a good return. On vintage equipment I will only do them on a auction. Starting price on my auction stuff is price paid + $50.00 and shipping costs(When I know that the product will bring good money). On more modern stuff like those 301's I would just double what I paid plus shipping for a quick buy it now sale. Also I state that my shipping prices are a little higher then others because I over pack the product to assure damage free shipping. I sell a lot of vintage audio gear, and Snap On, Mac, Matco, & Cornwell tools on Ebay.

[@candidcamel]

Lets just hope that your customer on the other side of the world doesn't start a return saying that "the speakers make a crackling sound". It just happened to me on a sound bar i shipped through GSP to Canada. The cheapest estimate I found to ship the $59 speaker back to me was $60. Seller is required to buy return shipping and not through a convenient drop down menu either. You have to manually type in the address on each individual shippers website. Never again. Anyways, Pete, I love your style and I am continually impressed with the content you create.

[@vetterfellow]

Your customer probably found out it's not his speakers but his amp making the noise testing with your speakers. I too fell on hard times similar to yours. Keep your chin up !!!. It happens.

[@candidcamel]

vetterfellow customer said "doesn't work or defective". I couldn't prove otherwise. Rock-Me-Hard Place. It's annoying but I factor this kind of stuff in my prices and overall business model.

[@carlacowling1789]

"Oh, yeah "Chairs"... I freaking love your channel!! So real, so much valuable content with tips and tricks and REAL sales. You guys are great! You totally deserve your own show on Netflix or Hulu.

[@denimlabels7315]

I bought a pair of Redwood lawn chairs for $5 bones recently. I need to get them listed soon because lawn chairs don't sell too well in the winter. Nice Bose flip! I have an Acoustic Wave taking up space and need to get that piece listed and get paid. You can't go wrong with Bose! If you ever find the bose sound dock, (the one you hook the ipod into) you can now get a bluetooth plug in adaptor for them and run them off your computer or smartphone for big banging sound.

[@silverhairstacker8664]

Once again thank you for showing us how the one - off market pays off big! I would so much rather do what you just did in this video, than buy a bunch of discount stuff and send it to Amazon. or list with quantity on eBay. The treasure hunt is real, and a person just has to put themselves in front of the opportunity!

[@davethomas332]

I bought a pair of Bose 301 last year from Goodwill for 12 dollar Sold for $480 dollar after shipping and eBay fees $380 profit

[@connieflanagan2258]

I have those in my yard right now! They look in great shape! I really enjoy your videos. Thanks

[@viktorizoita8670]

Hi Pete! Great video for those who don't know much about this business, I just wanted to share how much money I made on eBay dumpster diving!$$$$! Mostly car parts , yes broken car parts* I found a broken Lamborghini rear bumper and sold $1250 in 1 hour . Now that's profit!! Sold many one like that from high end cars like Tesla Bentley Porsche and so on. Like you said if you know what to look for you'll find it ! ✌️Cheers

[@petermichael1523]

I like the message this video is sending. I just wish eBay wasn't such a scumbag company. This item will be repackaged in Kentucky, and will most likely have a higher chance of being damaged during transportation. Also, the package has to not get damaged/stolen/reported as not as described or received for this sale to work. Finally, the buyer has to not issue a charge back within 180 days of sale. I also understand that you have a receipt, so if anything goes wrong you can claim it as a loss on your taxes. This is really the most important portion of the video because it's a safeguard against loss. I think anyone watching this video could get the wrong idea and drop a fifty dollar bill on something and then lose out. Having some record of sale is crucial when engaging in reselling because when sales do go sour at least you can recover your initial investment in some capacity.

[@davidharris4030]

Excellent info for someone getting in the EBay game! What holds me back from selling things is getting familiar with EBay and your PayPal. If I knew how to navigate their website then I would have more confidence in selling. Thanks for info Pete!

[@ritasjourney]

Money is out there! So True!!!! We live in the land of plenty!

[@ritasjourney]

People are even getting money for just the lawn chair webbing!!

[@harleymax01]

For items like this I sell local and do well. I don't enjoy shipping this kind of stuff.

[@juliekmunden]

harleymax01 me too!

[@ZefTillDeath8878]

I agree. It may take longer but Bose speakers sell fast either way.

[@ZachAttackIsBack]

Yeah, Bose will sell locally, but probably not for a big profit margin when you have $100 in them.

[@superaquatic2853]

You will make almost the same profit selling them locally because then you wouldn't have to pay any shipping fees. Plus eBay and PayPal wouldn't have there hands in your pockets. It may take a little longer then a day but there bose speakers do they'll sale within a week.

[@delpju]

I really like this idea, I think it's a good new series you could do. Like show how fast you can flip stuff.

[@lt7114]

There are definitely certain products that just sell, flat out, every time. It isn't safe to assume that evrything is like this. I purchased a lot of very nice, brand new security cameras a while back. Looking at sold listings, I was positive I would make a hefty profit - but the market is so flooded with them that I am now having trouble breaking even. It was a product I was not familiar with, and I took a chance on it. Now in the future I will be wary of such things. All learning opportunities. Thanks for the video!

[@ZefTillDeath8878]

Good video but I disagree with flat rate shipping on a bulkier item like this. I'd rather use calculated shipping to discourage someone the other side of the country from purchasing the item and encourage someone closer, because if they do a NAD return you would be out a lot less shipping to someone just a state over from you as opposed to someplace like CA or FL.

[@Jason33784]

Yep I agree. I don't do free shipping on any bulky items.

[@superaquatic2853]

Joe H I do flat rate but I price it as if the person does live across the country.

[@nathan_sweet]

The problem with doing that is if someone claims INAD or Defective and returns it you lose out on the initial shipping that you paid to send it and have to pay return shipping. Joe's suggestion helps deter people that live far away from buying it making potential losses on shipping much lower on bulky items.

[@paragian1]

I would NOT recommend the $1 a pound shipping guide Pete uses unless centrally located in USA like he is. If you're on the east coast and have to ship to California, those speakers would have cost about twice that much to ship than the $35 he charged

[@Stokjockey]

Love you Pete and everything you Share with us about making a BUCK !

[@bethfranks221]

I really enjoyed this video, actually all of them so far! Glad I ran across you. Love it, I will try to sell anything I get my hands on ;)

[@vetterfellow]

Hi Ruby, Waz up Milo, Thanks Pete for the tutorial, All worked out fer you. Chairs to you too Bud. Nice curb side pick-up. PS. Hi Vicki where ever you are !!.

[@dispatch5551]

Hi, Pete. Can you please make a video on how you do your taxes. How do you track and organize all your paper stuff. For example: Do you just toss all your goodwill receipts in a shoe box and add them up at the end of the year? or do you actually attach every receipt of how much you bought something for to a receipt of how much you sold something for. Guys please like this so Pete can see it. Thank you for your good content.

[@BlakeGM]

This was a great video. Very educational. Would love to see more like this.

Thanks Pete, good example of the total transaction. I found Bose 201 speakers in great condition at a Thrift store for $12.00. It was 50% off day. I try not to buy anything unless its discount day.

I sold 2 chairs just like them about 8 months ago for 84.95+ shipping picked at garage sale for a buck a piece.

[@dathriftologist6856]

Love the raw...but simple video.

[@cincinnatipicker]

This is great advice because I think a lot of resellers tend to shy away from the more expensive items if they aren't going to bring them a huge return. You can make a smaller ROI if the item is high-end like the Bose speakers. Thanks for sharing Pete!

[@MIgardener]

What do you think about listing items on ebay at .01 as a starting price?

wow what an amaing video man!!!! thank you so much!!!! that is exactly what i needed for information and to boost me selling

[@jeffihnen9587]

Thanks Pete you are an inspiration!

[@WHATISIT5000]

Pete, could you please do a video on how to test vintage electronics? For example those Bose speakers, do you need to test those on a Bose system or will any stereo do? I am always confused about speakers because they are marked how many ohms they are and I worry about if mismatching them with the wrong system will mess them up?

[@ZachAttackIsBack]

The Bose sets of surround speakers must be used with the original subwoofer they came with. The standalone bose stereo speakers can be used with any amp/receiver.

[@fleridatiburcio5623]

you are genuine and honest

[@AJRelaxesWith...]

Looked the chairs up in ebay and found a pair of beach chairs that match these selling for $35. Found the same two chairs plus a lounger for $100. Single chairs that are a match range from $29 to $50. Wow!

[@MultiPoseur]

$35 sounds great, until someone in Maine or Florida buys it, and the shipping costs $60.

[@hillarys.k8518]

By far one of your best videos. Lots of meat .

[@simontemplar-1911]

Hello Pete, Thank you so much for all your Great Videos...... I have some questions. Where do you usually pick up your Vintage Electronics for reselling? If your Bose Speakers had some minor physical damages, are you going to still buy them? How do you usually get some discounts for buying the speakers at the Thrift Store and UPS shipping? Where can I find the discount coupons for Thrift Stores? I am really very new to reselling and I am just starting to learn about reselling from your KZbin-Videos and also from your group such as "Golden Finger Picker", & "Hart Picker". I am sorry about my dumb questions. I hope you'd answer my questions and looking forward to keep learning from you more.... Thank you so much!!!!

[@tootall5559]

good tips, but finding good product is the tough part for me. I live in a rural area, and there is expense to even go looking in either of the two closest cities. In other words what he is saying that when you KNOW something will sell and sell fast, spend the money. It's when you don't know that you have to be careful about what you pay.

[@Fabian-fb3gn]

Hey Pete love your videos man. I wish I knew how to test these speakers and other electronics you sell. Can you make a video on how to test several electronics that you sell? Would be awesome, take care!

[@SergioFigaroa]

Hey Pete, Great videos! Just a quick question. How do you get about $1 per pound from UPS? I'm trying to send a 24x18x19 22lbs 3oz package (from west coast to east coast) and they're asking $97. Is there a certain way to get a discount or something? Let me know when you can, Thanks!

[@coragassien8610]

Can you, or someone else please explain why the buyer pays the shipping, which is added to the sale price but then you minus another shipping cost. Why do you both pay shipping?

[@dusty5598]

Do you look at the cosmetic condition of the e-bay listed item before pricing your items. Items like speakers some times are scratched but they still want the same price.

[@davidstefanovic8610]

Pete is as cool as fuck.

[@mac9902]

[@growandgame]

People in California are always messing my shipping up

[@sandfay1977]

growandgame then do calculate shipping instead. It goes by weight, size and zip code area.

[@growandgame]

True, considering you box the item up and put the dimensions and weight in before placing the add. Sometimes I have bulky items that need double boxing and I just guesstimate the shipping as it would take up too much room boxed up. On those instances , be it Murphys law or whatever, they always end up going to Cali :)

[@xxwoman]

How do you mean? I was wondering when he seemed hesitant to ship to CA. I've mailed many items to CA but they were much smaller packages....

Hey Pete, Hope you guys are enjoying your new house. I'm gonna try give you a call for next weekend (if your gonna be in your shop) we met at the Chicago Rally (my husbands the music guy) We want to see your shop and also your buddys place he had the cool place with bar, barber shop, skate boards. I see speakers an older pioneer equipment but I'm hesitant as I don't know what all I should be testing. For example I went to an estate sale and yes I can plug in a stereo or turn table but how can I test the reel to reels or cassette models, or even speakers? What if you see a good deal on Craigslist how do you test stereo stuff then? Thanks Hope to see you in your shop soon
