Thank you everyone for your continued support and for watching!!
My hubby bought a headless horseman Death Wish mug at Salvation Army 2 weeks ago or so for $2.99. We just sold it today for $250. Thank you, Shannon, for the valuable information!
That's so great! I'm happy for you guys!
I found a Christian Dior white hand painted mug at $.99 . It retails $395. Super happy to find one here in vegas goodwill.
Wow!! That’s fabulous!
That's gotta be some kinda world record coffee mug sourcing 😏😊
Great info.
I always do really well selling “Milk Glass Mugs”. Also I was at a Estate Sale & purchased a entire collection of Vintage Mugs, I purchased the collection for $20.00. There were a total of 22 Mugs. I sold them all separately, they sold quick and my total profit after fees was just over $475.00. The majority of the mugs were “Cartoon/Snoopy Milk Glass Mugs”
Very nice!!
Don’t buy them at GW the prices too high
Where do you seel them?
SR-71 was the predecessor (sort of) to our modern Stealth series of aircraft. I built many models of the Blackbird as a kid in the 80s/90s
I picked up a box of free mugs. I wanted the vintage nesting mugs, but the deal was you take it ALL... so I loaded up 3 boxes into my car and dug into it when I got home. First thing that sold was a pilgrim salt and pepper set from Publix for $20. Then the Disney mugs started going for $20 is over and over... , sold a set of 5 Epcot restaurant mugs for $65, so far a great pick up... Tree house coffee mug (brewing company in MA) sold for $70 ish... anyway it was worth the pick up BUT the nesting mugs still have not sold LOL.
What a great score! And that’s funny! Sometimes it really is the obscure things that sell for most!
I’ve sold the nesting mugs, even incomplete sets, but they are definitely long tail. Be patient. They’ll sell. Sounds like you’re already in the profit anyway.
Treehouse has the best beer, very popular!
@@annoravetz5908 my husbands favorite!
Great info, thanks for taking the time to make the video and I look forward to your future videos!
Thanks for watching!
I enjoyed your video. You are knowledgeable and clear, and just so likeable as a person
Why thank you! 😊
I love 🦋, and while I do use other bugs and insects I do heavily use butterflies. If someone wants to use something else then they are welcome to do that with their own journals. I love your ideas! And always tweak things to make them my own! Thank you for sharing all you do!
Thank you, so much for sharing your experience in reselling! I love your straightforward, no nonsense approach and your unadulterated point of view - I am trying to start a reselling business, but already very shy with not very much confidence, so thank you for letting us in to see "how it's done!"
That’s so sweet. Glad it helps!
Thank you. I have been appreciating your videos.
Very comprehensive! I look forward to your future videos on this topic that you mentioned. Thanks! (I am in the "I never find a mug worthy of selling" camp)
Thank you and thanks for watching!!
At 17:22 minutes, an orb passed you on the right side 😮
This video just showed up on my feed! Not a reseller yet, but planning to be so I am already buying things to resell! Subscribed as well!
Awesome! Thank you!
Coffee mugs aren’t a nitch I’ve listed, so watching this is interesting. I’ve bought a mug (to replace the one I broke at a friend’s house) off eBay for $10, it arrived safely and it allowed me to keep my friendship.
That's exactly why many vintage and pre-owned mugs sell!!!
Super interesting. I am always drawn to and looking out for good selling mugs. Looking forward to watching the next video. I recently sold an Augusta National Masters mug. Didn't get in the hundreds but nice profit at $35.
Masters stuff is great and this is a perfect time of year! I would’ve picked that up too! Thanks!
Thank you for the deep dive on coffee mugs! My eyes blur over when I see them, but now I will focus. 👁
You are so welcome! Hope it helps!
Last week found 5 pacific bell telephone heat reactive mugs from when they did merger from pacific Telephone to pacific bell. In 80's. Got all for $1. They sell 25-40. Specialty color change/heat Reactive are good. Company merger. Dbl good.👍🏻
Nice! I’ve sold a couple heat reactives over the years
Great tips, thanks for sharing.
John Wayne is my fav actor, never knew about these mugs. Thank you for the great info in this video!
Glad you enjoyed!
ist time watching you and all your information was so helpful . Thank you for sharing your knowledge.
Glad it was helpful!
I love coffee mugs so I have bought a ton over the years! They are usually a slow seller for me, but I've also found signed pottery mugs that sell faster when I know who made it. I would never have guessed pharmaceutical mugs would go for that much, wow! I live in WA so I see a lot of Starbucks mugs, and yep our Goodwills still price 'em high 🙄 I'll have to be on the lookout for those travel mugs though and see if I can find ones worth picking up 😄 ~Caroline
I love pottery mugs! Want to keep them though 😂
I subscribed to your channel after watching this video. Thank you for the information I really liked the video.
Thank you so much and welcome!
Yes, I'm looking forward to hearing what coffee mugs you've sold for a $20+ profit. This is my best selling category but mine are generally priced in the $15 - $18 range and not a lot of profit after fees (I sell on Poshmark). I like selling mugs because they are my most consistent seller and easy to pack and ship. Thanks for this video ... I learned a lot!
I’ve sold plenty in that range as well! Works for me as long as it’s a for sure seller. Love mugs!
Thanks for sharing your knowledge!
You’re welcome and thanks for watching!
😊😊😊Taking Notes from your video, I learned a lot today 🎉🎉🎉🎉 thank you
I'm so glad!
I found that Molly Hatch Narwhal Mug at the Goodwill Bins! Paid 75c, and eventually took a $50 offer, which I was thrilled with.
That’s amazing!
That Linus mug is adorable 😍 Vietri is another descent mug brand to keep an eye out for.
Yes!! I’ve sold a few - I think in sets but that’s a good reminder to specifically look for them. I’d forgotten!
This has to be a miracle! On Friday March 31st I went to an estate sale and saw 5 very interesting mugs priced at $8.00 each. I really liked their look, but decided to take my chances and come back Saturday for the 1/2 price day. These mugs were on some shelves placed in the garage so thought perhaps that price was a little high for where they were placed in the sale. There were a couple resellers checking comps, but none looked at the mugs. (To my disappointment two of the other items I had looked at were snatched up immediately!). I am fairly new at reselling and am too embarrassed to check comps-I go by gut instinct most of the time. I woke up early Saturday morning and decided to watch a couple UA-cam videos. I had never seen your channel before, but somehow it appeared on my playlist. About midway through your video I came wide awake when you showed the exact same mugs I had been looking at-5 Lindt Stymeist mugs-4 yellow and one blue! I hurriedly got dressed and made it to the sale just before it opened. I rushed to the garage and amazingly the mugs were still there. What a find! If I had not turned on the TV, had you not appeared, I would have never known the value of these mugs! (But probably had bought them anyway because I loved the style.). THANK YOU!
That is such a great story!! Thank you so much for sharing!
Going by your gut will not be profitable. Taste and branding is so versatile that you will lose more than you win. Ask me how I know 🙀😫😳🙂 (As a labeled Diva vs self appointed. I have good taste, everyone else not always). You probably have great taste, and choose good but it’s crazy what people value/ don’t value. Best of luck!
Very helpful!!! I watched the other video on mugs, and went out and found, I believe, the French mug with animal on it and rabbit is spelled in french!!! Haven't checked for sure if it is what u were talking about, but I am pretty sure it is!!! If I hadn't seen your video, I surely would of passed it by!!! 💞💞🙃💞💞
Oh that’s great! I bet it is the same!!
Excellent information and examples. Also wanted to note to be mindful of searching comps online for mugs and keep in mind if it seems too good to be true - it might very well be. Many mug listings are going the way of beanie babies and being used as a way for foreign transfer of money. Do research, know your niche and use common sense so you don't end up with a ceramic deathpile. This video is an awesome resource for gaining knowledge and starting to ID BOLOs.
That is so true. I noticed this as I researched and had to scroll down to get to the "real" listings. All the fake ones had very basic titles and crazy sell prices.
Thanks so much!
Suggestion, keep your pictures of items on the screen longer. I watch while listing, and often, by the time I switch back to see, the item is gone - off screen.
Will do!
Me too.
👍👍👍👍
You can always rewind it too
Thank you for the info. It was great.
Glad it was helpful!
Very interesting and informative video! Thank you!
Thanks! And you’re welcome!
Thanks I appreciate the info.
You’re welcome!
I have a foot in both camps….I have quite a few listed under $15- bc it’s an ‘easy spend’ for a Customer coming in at $25- with postage. I dislike packing them though as they’re quite time consuming….I like to box them & send them in a satchel to keep the postage down bc they’re quite weighty & more expensive to send in a box sans satchel….Unfortunately, the satchels are SMALL hence the aggro factor….! Haha….I LOVE selling Dunoon Mugs….The quality is FABULOUS & they’re a narrower Mug making it somewhat easier to pack….! As always Lovey, GREAT video….!!!!!😊😊👊🏻❤️❤️
Thanks so much! I need to find better Dunoon mugs…lol. I have a dud just sitting!!
You do find the COOLEST mugs! 😊😊
Great informative video. Thanks so much!
You’re welcome!
Wow, where have you been all my life😂. This was interesting and informative. Thanks
Lol that made me laugh.
This was great! Thank you!!
Glad you enjoyed it!
Just found you and LOVED this video! I buy Arabia whenever I find it :)
Thanks! I ❤️ Arabia!!
I love muglife! You have to know what to look for though.
So true!
I have a few boxes of coffee mugs. Inexpensive to buy,easy to pack. Nice bread and butter items.
Definitely!
Thanks for sharing!
Thanks for watching!
Looking forward to next video!
Coming soon!
Excellent video, thanks. I just joined up because of finding this video. I really love coffee mugs but I have to stop buying OR I have to sell. Take care, from this Australian.
Welcome- my coffee mug cabinet is usually pretty full as well lol
I love selling coffee mugs! They sell well in my vintage booth and I’ve sold quite a few online. Starbucks ones sell well and unique vintage ones…
That makes sense they’d do well at a booth too!
I pick up cute mugs and then bring them home. Match them with a cute fabric to go with them, and make pin cushions with them. I pick them up at garages sales.
Nice upcycling!
I found a vintage Reddy Kilowatt advertising mug. Paid $1.00, sold $50.00!
That’s so cool!
Sold some Starbucks and Disney in the $40 range. Vintage and some name brand can sell. Sold a color change Ativan for Anxiety Mug for over $90.
Nice sales!!
Thanks for this info. I have a cheetah print mug and a cheetah shaped handle Looked it up and should be able to get $12.00 plus shipping. Going to look through all the mugs I have and look more at estates
That’s great!
Found a small ornament Starbucks you are here mug. I buy them, haven’t tried selling them. Have lots of the low end and I do have the milk glass Snoopy. I didn’t know it sold for that much.
Nice! Seems to be Snoopy as the Red Baron that does the best…hope you have that one! 😊
Love selling mugs just cuz I like them anyway!
Some sit, some are sold within hours 😊
That's a good summary! lol. I love mugs too.
Death Wish coffee also has mugs made by Sunset Hill Stoneware. There are a lot of really expensive mugs made by Sunset Hill.
Ooh that’s good to know! Thanks!
Thank youl💕
i have been selling since 2006 and coffee mugs are one of my bread and butter items. You have to look for niche items, the eclectic, the vintage. The ones that are found in Pier 1 and walmart are not desirable unless they are Disney, Halloween, etc. My most expensive mug has sold for $50+ and over, and it was quite unusual. I price my mugs at $25-+ and up with best offer and take nothing less than $10 depending on what I paid.
Solid advice! Thank you!!
I started my reselling business 6.5 years ago with the now hated RAE DUNN mugs. I packed 1000s of them in a short year, and would only sell mugs now if they are high value like you mentioned. Breakables aren’t hard if you double box ❤
Ooh the RD craze….good times! I only dabbled in that a bit. Now I just look for the “vintage” RD pieces but the large letter mugs still catch my eye before I come to my senses. 😂
Yes Yes Yes! Double Box!!
Just discovered you today. This video is great!
Welcome!!
Pharma stuff is typically a bolo no matter what. I've sold magnets and fuzzy dice(I think it was Prilosec) It's funny what people want haha. I've found/sold a few Deneen mugs, but have yet to find a Death wish! Most of mine sell around $50ish. Thanks for sharing, soooo many great mugs I've never heard of before!
Thanks! There’s so much to know!
@@pishposhreselling truly! That's what is great about reselling...always learning!
Wow I didn't know about those Arabia mugs or even that that brand was such a bolo, and I collect Moomin stuff! So I'm very excited about this lol. I only really know about Marimekko and Iittala (the Iittala Oiva Toikka birds are a good BOLO) ...my family is Finnish way back and I've been there and Finnish design really does it for me :)
I love Scandinavian design!
@@pishposhreselling Me too obv :) As a part (very small part) Finn (but actually more Norwegian/Danish) I will be one of those annoying people who points out that Finland technically is not Scandinavian! Nordic yes but ethnically Scandinavian no. Sorry to be that guy lol. Amazing design nevertheless. Scandinavian = Denmark, Norway, Sweden, and depending on if you're Icelandic or not, Iceland (hee hee)... Iceland is a hybrid of Norwegian and Danish but substantially rooted in the British Isles thanks to the massive amount of women-stealing the slave trading Vikings did on their way to Iceland. Jerks.
Every single one of those countries just has the most amazing visual/design sensibility hard-wired into culture, I'm such a huge fan. Thanks again, looking forward to your future vids.
good to know!!
@@helpfulcommenter My husband's maternal grandmother was Finnish, and that very same point was adamantly made in his family (and still is by my mother-in-law)! LOL
@@treasurepedlar Ha! Thanks for sharing :)
First time viewer here, haven't finished the video yet but would like to say I'd love to see how you pack mugs to ship, and what it weighs and how much it costs to ship.
We have a video for that! ☺️ Look for a link at the end of the video or just check the channel! Thanks!
great video....ty!
Glad you enjoyed it!
I got a couple anthropologie coffee mugs that had cute art for famous cities- (San Francisco and London) and those sold for me around $35 each. Those were my biggest. I also sold a couple of clear Starbucks mugs for $40 for the pair, and the woman who bought it was replacing her favorite mug that she'd broken.
Nice mug sales! Yes definitely hit or miss!
Glad I found you. New subscriber. I do sell mugs when I find the more in-demand ones. I have limited space for them, so I have to get ones with high sell-through rates. Found a Death Wish Coffee skeleton mug last month and sold it within two weeks. Found out from my daughter that “Breaking Bad” is a good keyword for the skeleton ones. Apparently that design was featured being used by a drug cartel member on an episode. Also any restaurantware coffee mug sells well. I often find them for free at estate sales.
Those are great tips! Thanks! And yes...I LOVE restaurant ware...I have a hard time passing it up.
@@pishposhreselling I'm new to your channel too! 👍
@@StaceNyourFace welcome!!
@@pishposhreselling Thank you! 😊
I sell cat mugs they sell great especially when they are from England.
It was during lock down, however at the time I sold gorgeous porcelain tea mugs with Siamese cats and they sold for $45 each Cdn.
I just wish the collector plate market was as lucrative...I have plates with cats but can't seem to sell a decorative plate to save my life, my offical "kiss of death" item! I can't even sell ones people gave to me for free and I can't even give them to another reseller she doesn't want them...they are nice but I guess mugs over plates cause you can use them?
Yeah decorative collector plates are rough. But I agree, I love cat mugs!
Plates aren’t popular right now but just give it time. They’ll come back. I’m just leaving mine boxed till then.
I have several Taylor & Ng mugs from the 70s 80s, wonderful fanciful animal designs. Also older Laurel Burch mugs. I'm keeping them. As an illustrator myself, I prefer artist's mugs to ones with designer names
Oh, and I have a few very old 70s Microsoft mugs. Keeping them too!
That’s a great reason to keep them!
The coffee mug has to be interesting if I consider buying. I like pottery mugs the best. I don't like standard coffee mugs. Interesting looks, glazes, even interesting shapes-not too crazy. But it definitely has to be interesting looking.
Agree!
I love your videos! They are very informative. If whatever you are teaching about has a mark could you please show it. It really helps to have a visual and hopefully help me to recognize it if i come across it.
I will keep that in mind! Thanks!
This is a great list, some very cool BOLOs. They won't sell for $100 but I'm always on the hunt for Taylor & Ng mugs. Subbed.
Yes those are some faves too- you’ll definitely see a T&N mug in the next coffee mug video! Welcome!
@@pishposhreselling Hooray! I'm here for the mug content. So cool.
Me too! I'm lucky enough to find originals in my area, they were a bigger mug in addition to the different mark, but they all sell. I just sold 1 the other day. My sister even owned 2 that she bought back in the day when they used to sell on tables set up on the sidewalk in Berkeley. Always happy when I find one out in the wild.
@@charlottemccaig578 That's amazing. I think they had a deal to sell in a department store too. Macy's or Bullock's? My mom handed me down a bunch that she collected in the 70s and 80s. Yeah the vintage ones are heavier, bigger, and have the circle "Japan" mark.
Goodwill here in AZ are pricing Starbucks mugs around 4.49. On Tuesday I get 25% off so I pick em up if they comp good. Funny..Rhode Island sold quickly..
Sometimes thrift stores think they all are valuable- I’m glad you comp them!
I like selling coffee .mugs that are unusual.i love selling tea cups .
Ooh tea cups! I need to learn more about those. I only know a few good names to look for.
I gave a bave tons of pharmaceutical Pens, my friend was a rep. 😅
I love selling coffee mugs! It’s like an addiction lol.
Right?? Lol
@@pishposhreselling 💯‼️
Ido good with Vintage (milk glass) and or studio pieces.
awesome! love a good studio piece!
I have loads of mugs and sales are not consistent. I like them because the shape and weight doesn't change much from one item to the next.
I definitely have highs and lows with mugs- lots more in the fall/winter. But that’s a good point about the shape and weight!
@@pishposhreselling Yup, sales for mugs dry up for me in the summer, too. Oh well...time to stock up and get them cleaned and ready for fall! :) Thank you for an informative video!
I've found thrift stores have been marking up valuable mugs. I found a NASCAR mug for $20 at Goodwill last week.
Ai yi yi. Yeah it’s been happening more and more. What gets me is when they mark up stuff that’s NOT worth anything. SMH
My pictures are clear and very detailed. Good condition and I cant sell a coffee mig to save my life but the exact same one will sell for others. Yes my description is good. Mine has also been in better condition. Being honest I also sell them cheaper then I should
I AGREE WITH YOU 100%
👍🏻
I have 4 of those pioneer woman pot belly mugs for sale in my store but it’s been a year and nada … here’s hoping 🤞
Really?? I hope they move for you too! Sometimes the high sold don't tell the whole story.
Great info
Thanks for watching!
I just bought a snoopy mug that says curse you red baron for $2. You wouldn't believe how much it is going for.
YES!! that's a famous one!
What you call "cross-collectible" Cayley Elaine calls "Factor-stacking"
The intersectionality of aftermarket objects
Yes I’ve heard her say that. I think I picked up cross collectible from Antiques Roadshow lol
I didn't even know any coffee mugs sold that high, I guess I'm too cheap lol.
I've only sold one coffee mug so far. It was a Pendleton.
oh nice! I think I sold a Pendleton water bottle once, can't remember a mug. But yes...people will pay up...not me usually though! lol
Goodwill in SoCal prices their mugs at upwards of $5 so that's a big no for me. I've stopped buying even yardsale mugs cos their such slow sellers, storage and shipping is a pain. but i know good money can be made on certain ones for sure!
yup there are many times I leave the thrift store mug section empty handed!
The pioneer woman rolling pins can go for so much!! I am talking $200 for a ceramic rolling pin
I’ve heard about that! So crazy!
Thanks for sharing… I learned alot of good info! My mugs are slow movers currently.
I have a few right now I gotta do something about, lol. I got them with my son because he wanted to list them...:)
Pioneer woman is sold at Walmart so it’s very doable!
I find most go for 10-15 for general cool cups. But theres sum. Hey 25-50cents. Your clearing $10. Good ratio. But at times I find free ones at g-sales for free. Just grabbed 2 other day 4 free. They sell $30 per. Pc. How can ya pass up free $30bucks per cup? Sum go for way more. Age doesn't necessarily mean $.
Funny thing is I found 3 fire kings at same place for $3. Pc. They sell bout 15-20. Lol.
So keep eyes out for free cups. Never know.
Tumblers? Ugh. Big nope. Most don't even reach $10.
I found a kitchen cabinet filled with bone china mugs made in England for 50 cents each Lenox Kirchunm fire king usa and so far no views 😢
Yup coffee mugs can be slow this time of year…plus not all sell equally well. 😊
I just sold a set of 4 national wildlife association wolves for $25. I found at our community dump. FREE. 🥴. On other hand I still have lots of others just sitting.
Nice! I’ve got a few sitting myself! 😊
I look up solds for $25 and up and check brands listed.
Great research idea!
I have an SR-71 mug listed for $19.99 and it has not sold in a long time. I have 50 coffee mugs up seldom sell one.
My title: Lockheed SR-71 Blackbird Aircraft Coffee Cup Mug USAF Airplane
That’s a good title. Have you tried the photo of the whole mug as your first? Sometimes on older listings I end them and sell similar to make it a fresh listing.
@@pishposhreselling It's time to change up the photos on a lot of things I'm selling. I zoom in for most of my photos, but full shot as a change up sounds good.
Love the info! I’d love to see how you ship them. Right now I have a Fishs Eddy mug listed but free shipping. Ugh. No bites but 5 watchers.
Yes we’ll do footage of the shipping for sure
Ps. She speaks truth.
What do you find the best and most economical way for shipping mugs
We did a video! ua-cam.com/video/wZBj0N9qKxE/v-deo.html
I sold two just started in jan
That’s great!
Can’t sell a coffee mug. I have sold some but have to hang on to them a long time. I did sell a Starbucks tumbler for $100+ and a Starbucks mug by an artist for $80, a bunch of other mugs by same brand only $10 and they don’t sell. Mugs are heavy and a slow sale. Hard to research everything before buying.
Oh believe me I have some mugs that are duds and I need to do something about. 😂I don’t research all the mugs at a store but do a quick scan and see if something jumps out at me as interesting.
Coffee Mugs are doable. They need to be from a design/art producer. I have had luck with European made mugs, something uncommon in USA. Such as mugs made in Deruta Italy for example. I agree $25 minimum per mug.
Yes Deruta is nice!
I will always sell coffee mugs ❤❤❤
Me too!! 😂
I've sold pottery handcrafted coffee mugs. I had golf mugs cute saying and no interest, odd.
Fyi: starbucks and pioneer woman cups. Don't bother theyre not worth much. Except the few rares from them. In general Don't bother. Unless ys want em for yourself. Lol. Bur keep eyes out for the special ones.
And PS:….HOLY SMOKES on those John Wayne Mugs….!!!!!😮😮😮
Crazy, right??
