    I don't do clothes but I walked into gw one day and they were pushing a clothes rack out of those rsvlts shirts and honestly they felt cheap but the subject matter got me to look. I ended up with about 15 of them. All of them were new 3x. I only have 1 left. The lowest I got has been 49. They were 5.00 each but I had a 35 percent off so I paid about 4 bucks each. Also had a rare Spooner in there

And I definitely make sure to research sold comps for brands like Jos A Bank using the material/style as keywords to check active vs sold listings. That helps me confirm if the sell through rate is good enough to buy!

  • @WillyChambs
    @WillyChambs 14 дней назад

    Great to see you back reselling. Something that has helped me curb burnout is to set time limits to what I do when working. For example, if I have 2 hours of extra time to work, I get a stopwatch (on my phone, any stop watch works) and start the watch as soon as I start getting to work. If i get distracted or need to step away from work to do something else, I stop the watch. Once Im back, I start it again. Once the time hits 2 hours, I stop what I'm doing and consider that a days work done. Its a lot more satisfying and rewarding to focus on the time working than the "result" so to speak. If in those 2 hours I only get 3 listings done, but I fix a bunch of listings in my store, wash clothes to list the next day, and photograph clothes to be listed the next day, I consider that as equally successful as if I did 15 listing another day. This keeps me from feeling guilty about not working, because in those 2 hours, I am maximally focused. Once Im done with that, I dont feel bad about relaxing or watching shows because I know I did what I could in the time I had to spare.

    I'm full time right now (quit my job and currently doing a complete declutter of my house which has to be done before I get myself a new job) and the screen time involved with reselling is so intense and can really affect you mentally if you aren't careful! I turned off all sounds for my phone notifications because it was so distracting listening to the dinging all day long. I was constantly checking my phone every time I heard the sound and I feel like it's almost like a psychological addiction with how these apps are pulling us in all day long!

    @mattymac444 15 дней назад

    Josh, what are your thoughts on those "vintage" lots of massively reduced wholesale mixed clothing, meant for resellers? I remember couple years back you had a vid of an unboxing of one. For someone that is super far away from any decent sourcing locations, do we think these wholesale lots are a sub-par-yet-ok way of getting in inventory, or nah?

    • @Josh-Kim
      @Josh-Kim 14 дней назад

      I think it could make sense for someone that is in a location that doesn't have great sourcing opportunities. Definitely lots of opportunities to source online and have the items shipped to your doorstep. The profit margins are much thinner but possible to build a reselling business doing it that way. From my experience buying in bulk, I've been able to break even quickly from a few great items from the lot, and then slowly profit over the course of 2-3 years from the not-so-great items that were included. Also the wholesalers I've bought from in the past knew that I was opening them on camera for RUclips, so I wouldn't be surprised if they sent me better items in their boxes lol. Something else to also keep in mind!

  • @spikey2416
    @spikey2416 15 дней назад

    Great video like always. Just curious, as a part time reseller how many listings do you do per day? I know you mentioned about sourcing 20-25 items a week, does that mean you try to list approximately 3 items a day? Please let me know.

    • @Josh-Kim
      @Josh-Kim 14 дней назад

      Yup! I try to list everything that I'm thrifting. I do have a small death pile, but I reserve that for weeks that I don't go sourcing. I try to list about 2-4 items a day if I'm being consistent. Admittedly, there are days I list zero and I make it up by listing a little bit more on another day lol

    I have to admit, as a single person, one thing that sort of bothers me is viewing resellers on RUclips who boast about how they make a living reselling, and then as a sort of afterthought, mention their spouse or partner, who also earns income at their own job. Supporting yourself--BY yourself--is a lot more of a challenge than sharing the responsibility with someone else.

    • @CheckmateFlips

    Glad you have found your balance along with added health and happiness. Very few haven’t been hit with the “realities” of reselling and similar ventures. Hard to warn someone new and enthusiastic also but you did well here. You can totally be successful but manage expectations and consider yourself and family first and let this all stay where it belongs as support to that

      100%! There are people who are crushing it out there as full-time resellers or even part-time sellers basically making a full-time income on the side. It's all about making sure that whatever you decide to do is sustainable in the long-term. Appreciate the comment and thanks for watching!

      Appreciate you watching! I think it’s a common thing a lot of people struggle with when they try to scale this business to a full-time venture. It turned into a huge source of anxiety for me as well. My break away from reselling was what I needed before getting back into it without all the mental stress involved. I really wish the best for you and I know you’ll be able to figure out your next steps!

    I’ve been reselling since before eBay existed. I don’t think I’ve ever really been full time. I’ve had probably at least a dozen eBay stores over the years because every time I move I just open a new eBay store instead of just keeping the old one. The current eBay store was opened in 2019 when I bought my current house. The reason I decided to just start from scratch with a new eBay store every time I moved was because I had an issue where eBay put a block on my account the first time I tried to change the information on my account to the new information because they acted like someone else was trying to steal my account even though they knew it was me, so after that I just decided to start a new account every time I move. Right now reselling is just a part time thing for me because it’s too hot where I’m at to be outside. It’s been over 100 degrees here every day for over a week. I have another tech company that I run that takes the majority of my time and it’s also starting to generate more revenue than the reselling. I used to source every day, but now I source once a month unless I really need inventory. There’s a local reseller I know who goes to thrift stores every single day up to 5 times a day, but he only buys up to 5 items per thrift store.

      @Josh-Kim 14 дней назад

      I'm surprised to hear eBay gave so much trouble when you were moving and trying to update your personal information. That's really inconvenient! But I'm glad you were able to make it work with setting up new stores whenever you moved. I think having multiple sources of income is the way to go!

    It sucks but I think alot of people have to do two jobs these days. I would rather work hard when Im young so later I can live like no one else. Even if I have to source or list after my 9-5 job. Investing and working hard on this business hoping I can have more to invest or maybe one day replace my current job. The 9-5 job is great, but its hard to be able to invest enough just with that to for example retire early or even have enough for retirement.

      Hey. Yes! Vendoo has a sale detector that auto-delists from your other platforms. It does require you to have your computer/browser open for the auto-delist to work though. So if I'm out and about, I open up Vendoo on my phone and de-list through the app. The app has a "delist all" button for detected sales, so it's pretty quick to do if I'm not on my computer.

    Time is your most valuable asset. You can never scale stepping over dollars to save dimes. If that means you need a part time job in the beginning then you do the job until the money is there. Much like a job you need to make a basic amount per hour or it’s just not worth trading your time for it

    I totally burned myself out with reselling by overdoing it when I already have a FT job because I loved the extra money coming in. I noticed that I started prioritizing reselling over my health/wellness. I have a new puppy now and that forced me to put reselling on the back burner and am now looking at it much differently now as I slowly get back into it.

    • @Josh-Kim
      @Josh-Kim 15 дней назад

      It's too easy to start letting those other priorities slip. It's a slippery slope once you start ignoring your health and wellbeing. Once you experience burn out, it really changes your perspective on things! I'm glad to hear that you're slowly getting back into.
