@@tripmastermonkee it was a Serato mixer. What made it valuable was that if you owned it, you automatically got a subscription to their service which transferred with ownership. As long as you own one you got use of their service. I scored this about 8 years ago.
i love how this guy shows you can buy and flip almost anything you just have to have an eye and not just look for the most valuable stuff but stuff people are looking for that cant find anymore
@@sebastianconnell5252 I won't lie I really ain't making much I'm making chump change so at best on a really good week 100 bucks but I'm working on it this week was amazing I got 6 sales I usually get around 3 ik part time ebayers making way more then me I'm gonna try to find more inventory to list
Lol full time. This trash takes months before someone will find it and maybe buy thrift store garbage. Not to mention how expensive shipping is everyone goes to Amazon
I sometimes find something or touch something in my boxes and say I don’t know why I ever bought this. It’ll never sell. And then it sells the next day!
I have been a part time picker, full time teacher for 30 plus years…. I can tell you that touching items that have been in inventory for a while does make them sell… I don’t know what it is about touching things but it 100 percent works… I was just downstairs packing a item to go out, I touched a item and thought that has been around awhile… I put the top on the storage container and finished my packing… I came up stairs and had dinner and put on your video… As I am watching this I hear that amazing eBay cash register sound… Yep, you guessed it, the item that I touched had just sold…
I can usually get $35-50 (after fees/shipping) out of VCR/DVD combo units. I pick them up every time I see them regardless of whether they work or not.
Thank you so much 😊 I have been buying on EBay for years but just started selling and it has been very lucrative… clothes and shoes sell remarkably well
When I had a retail store, a friend who was a clerk in another store, swore by that practice: move or touch an item and it will sell within a day. Personally, I only had minimal success with that. But it always felt remarkable when it worked!
15:30 I have to echo this sentiment. I found a full size Howard Miller mantle clock at the SALVO for $7 recently. The comps were insane (500-1000 range) so we took it home expeditiously . But once I got it home and gave it a once over, I was sorta surprised at how shoddy the build quality was. I’m no clock expert, so I assumed if this is a luxury item then this one’s gotta be a fake. Too scared to list it so I just gave it away. Good to know I wasn’t alone in noticing this.
Hello 👋 I just love your videos and this is another goodie for me. And yes it seems like when I touch an item in my enventory it seems to sale within days. So yes that is a thing. Thank you Wick for showing me how to grow my EBAY BUSINESS.
There are two Goodwills that are no less than an hours bikeride away from my home city. I always find a lot of rare and unique items, like the ones you found.
Had a bid on an auction item that didn’t have a bin location, so I had to go through every bin and box to find it. My mom helped out, and oddly enough I started selling old items out of all the bins and boxes she had touched.
Ebay is so confusing. Some of your items like the Braun shaver and Fluval. When I look those up on ebay, they're a lot cheaper than what you sold for. These were in the box too. How do you know the value of such items? Just starting on on fb marketplace, and can't figure out pricing. Thank you for the video, and your help!
I have not experienced just touching something that hasn't sold and suddenly having someone buy it. I have many times experienced having had something sit for months or even a year or two, then suddenly sold one and then two or more in the same day or couple of days, and always to different people in different parts of the country. Maybe I had something that someone else was selling a lot of, and then they ran out? I dunno.
Great content Wick been watching your videos for a long time Lol usually to get my items that have been listed for awhile I just think about or I see how long the item has been listed make a note of the item and then for some reason the item sales that day or the next couple of days LOL just crazy how it works out
UK watcher here, it is actually crazy how different the resell market is in America. No one is spending $45 dollars on a braun razor in the UK. I actually thought that prices would be lower due to a bigger population but it seems like it is the reverse.
I took the eBay plunge and already sold 10 things and made $400 this is just for fun and a hobby but I'm having so much fun with it! Bought a 70 cents care bear pillow and it sold for $40 bought a $12 affliction shirt it sold for $50 bought a $3 pair of osh kosh overalls they sold for $40 then she posted them for $800! 😅😅😅
As a reseller there's alot of items that make you scratch your head or cringe. Im more so shocked that people actually wear those. I feel like I've sold them a bunch of times but I never see anyone walking around with them on.
I just don't know where people are finding this amazing things for so cheap. I go to garage sales, thrift stores, estate sales, you name it, and anything of any value is tagged with the highest possible value. People aren't selling their junk for a quarter or a dollar anywhere near me. Everyone looks up the price of everything online and tries to get every cent out of it, even at a a yard sale. I went out this weekend and I'd say 95% of things I saw worth anything were marked within 10% of the top items on ebay. And the few things I do manage to find that are really valuable do not move fast.
You can do a lot of different things. One store I go to does clearances kind of weird. If it's been in clearance for a while, it goes into a different category, and whatever it is, it's 2.00. I picked up 23 big funko pops worth 40 a piece this way.
@@BUBBYWAN Yeah, I haven't stumbled on anything like that yet. As of now whenever I do find something that is undervalued that I can get for cheap it doesn't sell. For example I picked up a dozen vintage pennants from a defunct brewery for a buck a piece but they aren't an item that moves. Most of my inventory seems to be stuff like that because things that sell I can't find good deals on.
Same for me. Thrift stores literally charge the same as estate sales and estate sales charge what people are asking on eBay. Very frustrating. Trying to find places to buy but not having much success yet
I'm gonna watch and learn bro I'm tired of working a 9to5 I wanna work for myself not looking to get rich just live comfortable do you make decent money?
Where are some of these selling to? I'm asking because I'm wondering if they're being sold to Americans or to other countries. Because some of this just kind of surprises me. Like if all these are being sold in America then yeah that surprises me that you're getting basically top dollar out of all but just reselling it on eBay. I'm sure a lot of things set for a long time, but if you have a good inventory going, that's no big deal
I have several items that are a few years old that we'll move and talk about while looking for other stuff and it sells. Going to start randomly doing walk and touches😂
It's crazy what people pay for some of these items. I would not expect to sell Battleship pins and boats for $14 (9:25) when a complete set can be had for $22 at Walmart (Canada).
What is up with the thrill of the hunt?? Just listening to this im so giddy i wanna run out of work and to my nearest goodwill to find a beautiful resell. I dont even know if its nessecarily about the money, its like ive just found this little secret nobody around me knows about
So do you just google lens/seach online for the items that catch your eye to see what they've sold for and pick them up even if the comps are all over the place/not existing?
its true, touch it or move it, i make a joke at work that when I touch something on the shelves that moves slow, ill sell one that day. Its called "everything i touch turns to gold" it is crazy but it is also real. its something you cant put on paper so retailers dont pay attention to it.
Hello, on the VCR flip, when you buy them at Good Will or garage sale, how would you know if it is working or not? Also, do you have to test them out before you list them? Sorry if it is a lame questions. I am trying to learn the rope. Thank you.
You don't really know if they will work. It's a risk in most cases. Some Goodwills will take returns. I fully test them or they will more than likely be returned or people won't buy from you.
“In what business can you take 50 cents and turn it into $30” .. Pretty much any junk made in China and sold to America 😉🤣 - Seriously though, love your hustle and vids Wick!
Depends on the item, but probably just look it up on eBay and filter by sold and completed listings. Then compare the average sold price with how many are listed vs how many sold.
Hey wick! You are my favorite. A weath of knowledge. I have been watching you and others for years. I have a full time job but do this as a side hustle because I love it. My weak point is shipping. Can you or have you done a shipping video where I can learn how not to lose cash on a bone head shipping price? Thank buddy! Keep It up!
The books from Steve King look new. Were they? I have some books by James Patterson. They look used. Should I make a set? Will they sell better? Thank you in advance.
I would like to do something like this, but it really does take a lot of time. I would be curious to know how much you made compared to the hours you have put in
Wow! You really had some great sales. A couple questions are you a full-time or part-time reseller? Also, do you offer free shipping? Thanks for the video.
I'm full-time. I only offer free shipping on certain items. Typically smaller items under one pound, or items I can work shipping in the price easily that fit in flat-rate mailers etc
My best score was a DJ mixer I picked up for $5 at Goodwill. Sold it for $800 three days later.
What mixer was it?
What are you selling it at
@@tripmastermonkee it was a Serato mixer. What made it valuable was that if you owned it, you automatically got a subscription to their service which transferred with ownership. As long as you own one you got use of their service. I scored this about 8 years ago.

Not really. He knows what to sell which is very specific skill here.

Law of Attraction. 😊
Also, leaving them behind at another location is like magic.
I recently picked up a jar opener and told it I wanted it to sell, next day, it finally sold.
I touch my inventory every day (most of my stuff has been sitting for over a year) and nothing ever sells.
The "touch an item and it will sell" thing was a subject of conversation with a fellow reseller like 2 years ago. Law of attraction? Crazy indeed!
interesting. 😊
Law of idiocy* 😂
Had never heard of Fluval until your videos. Found 2 sealed pump rebuild kits the very same day for $2 each. Each sold for over $50. Thank you!
Awesome!
VHS and VHS/DVD sell great, can find them for cheap in the wild all time. Great video, really like when you do these.
I have tons of VHS.. NEED insight on title and description
I can usually get $35-50 (after fees/shipping) out of VCR/DVD combo units. I pick them up every time I see them regardless of whether they work or not.

I found 2 mugs in a dumpster like 4 years ago and still have them, I see they went up significantly!

The touching of a forgotten item and selling it after you touch is real 😂
The “touch an item and it will sell” is real!!
The touch and it sells phenomena is real for sure! Great sales!
You will be believing in Astrology next.
I touch my inventory every day and I haven't had a sale in over a year.
If you touch an item and it sells, does that replace a sale that would have happened instead or it will be in addition to?
What I’m confused why everyone is saying this
It definitely boosts the algorithm when you revise your listing. my thinking is maybe it also sparks it by just looking at your older listings?
I have not experienced just touching something that hasn't sold and suddenly having someone buy it. I have many times experienced having had something sit for months or even a year or two, then suddenly sold one and then two or more in the same day or couple of days, and always to different people in different parts of the country. Maybe I had something that someone else was selling a lot of, and then they ran out? I dunno.

I randomly go through my inventory and touch it...

Love this video I have a bunch of that stuff in my attic and storage 😮
Thank you for this straightforward video!
