Preach on! Big hitting items are few and far between! Exciting when you find them and love the hunt!

[@TaylorExchange]

Even better when they are in your size!

[@valeriesantos8178]

I watched a few videos within the past few days… urs included. The wow videos r a wow… for a moment… but an anticipated waste of time. I subscribed to 1 when I realized ‘eBay’ videos exist bc when I sold ab 8 yrs ago, they didn’t. The only real plus is that I learn from the ‘real’ comments. If u divide to do it… pls consider not making it ur ‘whole’ every day videos. My pet peeve is lying ab a co. u don’t believe in at ur subscribers expense. I very much enjoy ur realness, ur style… which includes ur response to my comment in the last one I watched. Thank u :) It seems as tho, 1 reason u drown ur head into ur work, is so as not to come up, only to breathe the air of negativity. I pray it gets better for u. Another great video❗️

[@TaylorExchange]

My pet peeve is comments like this.

[@lisaliv2585]

I love you showed your Christmas gift from mom. I wish all youtubers did that. Loved it. Go mom! She knows you well.❤

[@TaylorExchange]

Thanks Lisa, yes my mom also bought the pulley system a few years ago for my birthday 😃

[@dinapal]

You know what, you're right. I get so caught up in what they offer and even feel insulted. But you're right, if you're making money accept it, move it out and move on. Thank you!

[@TaylorExchange]

I had that feeling of insult for years with eBay customers. I started to realize how it was affecting mood and figured out the best way to get past it is quickly resolve the issue and thinking nothing of it.

[@Barrett-zf8nz]

@TaylorExchange HI, this is the first video of yours I've seen. Thanks for the advice. I may have a unusual circumstance. I am a storage auction buyer and just got a lot from a semi-famous boxer. There are a lot of custom and 1 of a kind clothes. Including ring worn and ring entering clothes.I'm not sure e-bay is the best place for them. Any ideas?

[@Barrett-zf8nz]

Sorry didn't mean to write that here. But I've felt the same. I always counter reasonable lowball offers. I thank people for the interest on the offers of 80% off, but don't counter. I'll say, " I appreciate your interest, but we are to fat apart." I get decent sell through on my counter offers.

[@Barrett-zf8nz]

*far

[@TaylorExchange]

@@Barrett-zf8nz eBay might be the best place to sell them, next to a Facebook group about boxing collectors possibly.

[@FarmFriendsVintage]

Sean we enjoy your content and watching you achieving your successes. Wishing you and your family a great and healthy 2024!

[@TaylorExchange]

Thank you Lisa, same to you!

[@JessRaeEth]

You popped up in my suggested videos! You got a new sub! I’m a South Mississippi full time reseller & I ALWAYS learn new stuff from a plethora of resellers here on KZbin. Some teach me value and some teach me what NOT to do! 😂 Keep rockin’ it like you are and I fully believe you will go higher and higher. Best Wishes!

[@TaylorExchange]

Thanks Jessica! Hopefully I fall into the value category 😂 Glad to have you watching the videos!

[@saliz8088]

I enjoy your content. May you and your family have a great year ahead!

Love your content and titles as is. I shy away from the sensational click-baity titles because they usually end up being a disappointment to me. Thanks for sharing your knowledge with us

[@TaylorExchange]

Hey Diane, thanks.

[@kimlynne84]

You’re one of my favorites because you’re real. You also have really good content. Wishing you and your family the best New Year! If there’s one thing I’ve really learned is that the rough times always pass. Thank you for the great content !! Oh.. and I use Jairo pack off your recommendation and I have been really happy with them. Cheaper is not always better so I’ll stay with them too.

[@TaylorExchange]

Thank you, I appreciate the comment

[@InfiniteMindset99]

I would love a video on areas of auxiliary income. Great consistent content!

[@TaylorExchange]

I think that’d be a good video. Idk if I’m quite ready to make it though.

[@leebrown9658]

Ran across this video of yours. Liked and subscribed. You are now one if the top people that I will be watching. Going to start selling on ebay in the next couple of months. Love your style of talking, down to earth, no bs. How did you set your shipping up as far as costs? With your inventory system. Do you reuse a sku # after you sell an item? Thank you. I will be watching more of your older videos also.

[@TaylorExchange]

Love to hear it Lee. Ya all those questions I’ve made videos on so if you still need some clarification after watching them, I’ll answer a question or two. Tough to answer so many questions in one comment. But I appreciate you following along.

[@highpeacetess]

I really enjoy your content, it's real life reselling vibes 👍✨️

[@flipitgood6744]

Great video Sean. I am one of the viewers that likes casual talking while I work. I don't like click bait or too much extra noise in the videos. I'm a little boring though!

Found a Scotty Cameron cover at the Goodwill Outlet Bins for like 10¢. I have no idea who he is but it's worth $250. Right next to it I found a $440 vintage camera lens looks like it was never opened in its original packaging. Got 3 stuffed plush worth $40-$75 each & 2 nice TUMI suitcases. Guess I better look SC up. ⛳👀. Spent maybe $40 bucks (because the suitcases were heavy). WHOO HOO

[@TaylorExchange]

What a goldmine!

That’s old school. I’m about the future! Fun fact Ashton Kutcher has this one 😂

[@elizabethbromley2580]

Thanks for the video as it gives us realistic expectations! I do want to ask though ..with all the distance traveling you have to do to buy items why don't you expense mileage instead of gas? I also track mileage to the store to buy supplies (laundry detergent, lint rollers etc.).

[@TaylorExchange]

Yes I expense mileage and many other things related to the business. The biggest cost for me is the time.

[@Runningyahu]

Nice flat rate envelope hack. :)

[@TaylorExchange]

Thanks 👍

[@jonathaneder6835]

Nice video! Happy new year to you and the family! What is that attached to your hat?

[@TaylorExchange]

Thanks, same to you. It’s my microphone. I credit Sam Sulek, he was the first person I saw doing it.

[@jonathaneder6835]

Nice, thats pretty nifty! @@TaylorExchange Again, I really enjoyed the video. I've been organizing my store space today and listened while I was working. I just gave your store a follow as well. Very nice, simple listings. I like your style. I just started my store up this year and am aiming to be in your position by Q2 of 2024 to support myself and the family with eBay. Videos like this keep me motivated. Sidenote: I see your items ship from Wichita Falls. That's where my Air Force technical training was many years ago. Small world!

[@TaylorExchange]

@@jonathaneder6835 100% The same dorms for tech school 😂

[@dianem6951]

I bought some poly bags that don’t seem strong enough. It seems they might be easier to rip. Sometimes I’ll double bag the item to keep it safer. Cheaper doesn’t always mean same quality. I don’t know about Jairo pack though.

[@TaylorExchange]

Oh, Jiaropack is the real deal!

[@bryanronning]

intros are too good!

[@TaylorExchange]

Thanks 🫡

[@Glitchfaction]

I guess it depends on your area. I watch other YTbers who say don’t even mess with anything that you can’t make a $20 profit in. But the area I live in is a rural college town. If I waited for only items I could make $20 profit on, I’d sell like one item a week

[@TaylorExchange]

Exactly. Everything depends on what and where you source. I see a lot of people traveling to source for a weekend or week and come back with really great stuff. Sometimes getting more creative with your sourcing can lead to major profit. Like Phoenix Resale trading New Switch systems for people old game collections

[@Barrett-zf8nz]

No deference in selling 1 $100 item or 20 $5 items. In fact, on eBay, you can improve profitability on small items because of the shipping profit. I've sold small, low weight items and completely offset the ebay % from the shipping % I get back.

[@NJ-Jack]

When you consider a style within a brand, do you consider the sell through rate?

[@TaylorExchange]

Always

[@petesnyder6281]

I sell men's clothes also along with other hard goods. Going to stay away from Plush. Let ADH Dave deal with plush. Lol

[@TaylorExchange]

Dave is Lord of the Plush 🤣

[@sarahkoltz8017]

Dave just cannot help himself with that plush!

[@mslashay35]

My first plush I bought for 99¢, sold for $100 the next day. My highest selling was a Puffalump I bought for $3.99 and sold for $249.99. A lot of plush is bread and butter avg $15-$20 profit, but a lot sell $50-$75 on average... FOR ME!

[@Barrett-zf8nz]

If you see build a bear for cheap, they sell fast for decent $

[@phoenixsunshine4397]

Can you please post a link of the clear bags you use for packing clothes in this video? Thanks

[@Saperwill]

Hello from Austria 😂

[@TaylorExchange]

Hello

[@togetherrrr]

Ok Yesterday I picked up 4 wrangler shirt after you place them on your 25 best sellers.... and today I hear wrangler brans must have some extra quality statements to it, like extra tall or fire resistant, OTHERWISE IT'S NOT GOOS SELLER? What the heck. I think I should stop watching videos like that LOL On the other hand, there are things that are useful, too. Good job Buddy

[@TaylorExchange]

Well their are a lot of factors in understanding which wranglers sell and for how much. The brushpoppers are the ones your referring too but if you can find other vintage wranglers they will sell for $25-$40 depending on size and pattern.

[@togetherrrr]

@@TaylorExchange I get it. I realize I will make mistakes along this road. I pick up size of my husband, so he is going to end up with tons of brand name shirts ))))) I enjoy watching your material, great videos and info. Very super impressive.

[@18wheeler76]

"we played" what position are you a wide receiver ?

[@TaylorExchange]

I was the Freshman B Team QB in high school. So that’s put me as back up QB behind Fields and Bagent.

[@kevincorrell4822]

do you wash all your clothing prior to listing?

[@TaylorExchange]

Not all but one to two loads a week.

[@jondurand12]

When would you recommend upgrading to a store?

[@TaylorExchange]

Idk because the free listing amounts has increased. But theirs a point where it’s more cost effective based on the amount of listings used per month. You’d have to run the numbers to figure it out. eBay starts charging .30 cents a listing after the free ones are used and it adds up.

[@jondurand12]

@@TaylorExchange gotcha thanks

[@Medellin1823]

I'm researching for reselling clothes on eBay. Is there some kind of process I have to go through to sell used clothes on eBay, like they have on Amazon? I know Amazon won't let you sell used clothes. But eBay is catching my interest.

[@TaylorExchange]

Nice, it’s a lot easier than Amazon. It’s been a while since I signed up but yes it’s more relaxed than Amazon.

[@Barrett-zf8nz]

It's super easy. I've found ebay tough for general clothes selling. For me it has to be something kind of special, like Jordan sweats, carhartt, Ralph Lauren. But on more usual clothing I've done well on Mercari and poshmark.

[@Barrett-zf8nz]

As you see in these videos, a good inventory control system and the space to hold inventory is extremely important.

[@kb6530]

How many $ in inventory are you sitting on? This is super important part of the equation

[@TaylorExchange]

I think the average is around $4. Total amount listed is between 80-90k
