Turning $42 into $300+ Thrifting at Goodwill to Sell on Ebay and Amazon FBA

[@junkmerchant3773]

Have you done or can you do a video on how to sell and ship to amazon fba? ✌🏼

[@matthewdavis6741]

Next time you see a Rock Band/Guitar Hero guitar at Goodwill pick it up. I've sold four WITHOUT dongles in two weeks for over $60 total on eBay and I paid less than $10 combined. Hell, they didn't even have the battery clip. Sold them as is. No complaints. Im constantly trying to find more.

[@matthewdavis6741]

Just watched more of the video for the blue one........ youre killing me! Haha! UGH! Buy them always! ALWAYS! They sold in less than a week.

[@melw2100]

Pampered Chef decorator can bring 20 - 30 dollars depending on condition and can ship first class.

[@uarlmuseumandshop9333]

Yes make sure cords are with the items and that they are wrapped up neatly and in good condition and make sure all battery operated electronics have the battery covers.

[@nuggyjugz6538]

Get some shoe or mink oil and spend a few minutes on the boots - would make them present and sell better

[@TheReTurnersFlips]

Some of those old lenses can fetch a fair price. Anything old Nikon and Canon will bring you a lot!

[@digginsafari]

If those lens were actual canon ones they are worth picking up.

[@CharlesMichaelSidwell]

True dat. Must be checked for mold though. Once mold gets inside lenses they are worthless.

[@xufn]

Good haul, The ricoh ff-90 & the 2 Konica c35 were easy cash. If you bought those 3 it would have turner about $20 into $150 depending on condition of course.

I always look up film cameras and lenses. Most will not be worth it, but some will be. I have sold film cameras from the 80s for $100+ before and some lenses can sell for $50+. Usually easy to test them -- I order cheap batteries on eBay and 9x out of 10 whoever donated the camera has left the film inside.

The Arturia is not a piano, it's a controller to play with virtual instruments on a computer. It's powered by USB.

The cake pans are a fantastic find I live in NEW YORK CITY and them things are expensive everywhere you go shopping. Especially here in the city where bakeries are a million dollar industry.

I just polybag them. No bubblewrap or padding. I polybag lots of things, clothing, stuffed animals and these pans are some examples

Do they put the dollar figure down of your donation or do you on donating those clothes?

[@nuggyjugz6538]

you left a konica camera.. u need to research camera stuff bud. those lenses might have got you over a couple hundred

[@BoofYou]

The Konica would be a good one, but you're crazy think a couple hundred from those lenses. Yes, lenses can be a good score sometimes, but more often they're not. Like the large promaster for $6 you'd be lucky to make a few bucks. And if he has no idea how to inspect it just pass. Learn the brands to look for and pass on the rest, take a second to look up to be sure but likely not.

[@LastHumansGarage]

yes, that Konica C35 ranges from $40 - $100 in sold comparables... especially w the case...

[@vampirezio6996]

Are you selling strictly fba or Amazon trade in as well. You mention in other videos scanning on Amazon to see how do you do that? Is this your full-time job or a side gig?

[@EatingFoodIsFun]

I would have bought that guitar homie, I've been selling them for 5 years and never seen a blue one. It's a limited edition one and sells for $100 on eBay. You can buy a black battery compartment for it are cheap

There was a line of cars donating when I got there so I figured id just do it after

Checked eBay comps & that blue guitar hero guitar sold for $36 + free shipping. 😂 Pretty sure it's the exact from this video since the battery cover is missing w/no dongle.

I would have been all over the camera stuff. The Konica C35 camera has comps all over the board, but that one you had in your hand goes for like $55 on Ebay. Wow, I just noticed you had two in your hand. The prices at that Greedwill are pretty crazy. Cameras like those are usually priced around $3.99 where I am. Lots of money to be made in 35mm cameras, bruh. I would have been hunting for expired film, too. You had your hands on a Ricoh FF-90 Super and didn't buy it. AHHHHH... Dude... That's like a $50 camera on Ebay. Just recently sold for $49.00 on June 13th. I would have been comping every damned thing. Even when they don't work, you can sell them.

[@ThriftSchool]

Thanks for the tips. I am still always learning about new items to sell so this will help me in the future

[@glen3103]

you can make a living off reselling but it requires alot of time that most people dont like to do like weekends and early mornings and places to get inventory and know what you can make a profit of off. most people that do this either dont have health insurance and just pay the penalty at the end of the year cause its cheaper than just paying the monthly premium.

I dont think that has ever happened to me actually. Thats really crappy for someone to do.

[@jessicacolvin6360]

@@One-Eyed-Willys-Rich-Stuff Good idea. I've just been cancelling the orders after a certain amount of time passes. It wouldnt be as frustrating to me if they didnt remove the listing until payment is made. So basically missing out on a sale opportunity while waiting on someone who has no intention of paying. Takes two seconds to message the seller to let them know they've changed their mind. But thanks for letting me know..I'm fairly new to Ebay so didnt know I could do that.

[@JM-en1xd]

Wow i am blown away... A couple years ago I had a racist thrift store owner who was watching me through the cameras like if I were some thief, and all i did was look at my phone, and she was kicking me out yelling that she knew what i was doing because, she had some one watch me on the camerias. Then she continue to embarrass me in front of another customer while I was paying for my items. The caucasian customer who knew her i guess were saying nasty things to me, and then perceeded to kicked me out. She said don't come back! Wow ...What's sad is that was completely unnecessary to make a show in the store just because of that, and i being a female with my child. Some people are sick all i did was look up an item on Amazon.com on a video game that's all!! I couldn't even believe a cameria could pick up footage of me looking at on my phone, and why would they even do that? Thats so odd!! There were no signs up saying you can't be on your phone. It's ludicrous. And your there able to scan away without no trouble. It happened in NYC, and that was my experience. I stop going to thrift stores altogether because of that. I shop other areas now to find goodies to resell. Keep doing what your doing though your informative about what you do, and are helpful to others including myself. Now everyone seems to be reselling and loving it. I know there are hater out there that don't like people having that kind of side job now its becoming more common then ever. It helps to pay the bills, and get you through school. Never let people crush your spirit! Do your thing!

I have never ever had that happen. Everyone here does it and the staff knows it. So now the thrift stores look it up, too,,and that is why prices have skyrocketed.

That lady store owner is a loony the only reason I enter her store was because of her cause which donated to rescuing animals. There were many other thrift stores around the area I had gone to who were nice, but did not dare look up stuff through my phone I would step out the store first, and come back in. It was so inconvenient I didn't want to experience that again, and I began shopping else where. I am glad people are changing thing now.

does amazon have sorry seller protection like eBay does. its legit too easy to get ripped off by a buyer on eBay. everytime i sell something its like I'm waiting for 30 plus days to see if the person wants to return it. which is ridiculous cause besides for eBay i don't think you can buy anything used anywhere and return it 25 days later.

[@ZackMuffinMan]

[@theoriginalKland]

I'm sorry.. but I think you need to explain the statement: "I could have made more if I sold it on Amazon" How? The seller fees on Amazon would have been almost half of the $22ish bucks you sold it for while Ebay fees were what.. a buck and a half? So how could you have made more on amazon exactly.. I hear you say this every now and then, but it makes zero sense to me.

[@rickyatodaso7255]

I'm assuming it's because he'll need to pay the shipping if he does eBay. The Amazon FBA fees that they give you include the cost to ship to the customer. It's true you still need to ship it to Amazon, but when you bundle a bunch of stuff together, it makes things cheaper. Hope this helps.
