Entertaining, but honestly a useless metric used as a d*ck measuring contest as if the 1000 other variables of this business mean nothing. Some items take a year, some take a day. You can have a "sell-through" rate of 2 days with 10 items listed, where you make 3 dollars per item because they all go "free shipping". Selling stuff fast only appeals to people that think this is a video game or have no sense on what to buy outside of low-hanging brands with 500 competitors. I'm more concerned if I sell an item too quickly because it means I didnt price it right for maximum returns.
I always love seeing Ken Griffey Jr. sales! My boyfriend pitched against him in high school, and the guy was fearless LOL Still watching, interesting video! Courtney BOLO Buddies is a friend of mine, and we have been thrifting and to the bins together, and she definitely knows about and finds a lot of cool stuff, some of it may be just waiting for the right buyer! Thanks for sharing, Happy Holidays!!
I just came across your channel. There are alot of grifters on ebay with regard to reselling. I think Lavender Clothesline and The Nurse Flipper are two of them. I really like Courtney, Common Tags. I think she is the real deal. The Auction Professor is awesome. Just my 2 cents and may be somewhat off topic. Thanks for the vid.
I have found that telling clothing sellers that selling clothing is one of the worst things you can sell on ebay doesn't set well with clothing sellers lol.
Oh, every single video I do about bad things to sell or slow moving categories have the sellers from those categories coming out of the woodwork feeling personally offended. The fact that some people can master a category or overcome its limitations doesn't change the overall quality of the category.
I do great with clothes, but I spend ALOT of time researching trends, and going sourcing, which cuts into my profit but still better than being at a corporate 9-5.
Really you came to this conclusion from onefoot cherrypicking a couple big youtube resellers? I would hope most mature adults know youtube stars generally pale in comparison to real stars. Compare a youtube athlete and compare them to a world class one at that sport. UA-cam stars have always been whoever can market themselves to the most people, not be the most talented. Plus clothing reselling right now is rampant with false gurus and youtube teachers. I've had people approach me at the thrift asking who I watch on youtube for advice, hilarious. Like we're just this hive mind that don't have any trade secrets and just share everything amongst each other.
Lindey Glenn moved from selling clothes to Amazon Pallets with Health and Beauty items. Three years ago opened her own brick n mortar bin store to mass sell new items. She spent less time on her E-Bay store and UA-cam videos. The Bin market went bad (saturated) In half a year her lease runs out and she is closing her bin store and concentrating on E-Bay and other selling avenues once more.
Really cool concept. The monthly sell through rate of someone like Lindey Glenn who does liquidation would be lower because your calculation does not include Multi Quantity listings. If she had 10 of the same thing and sold 9 in a month, looking at her sold you would only see the 1 listing as sold and therefore skewing the numbers. I noticed this for my own store.
Bolo Buddies proclaims "List and forget", she puts out so many youtube videos that I am surprised she has time to sell on-line at all. She is great, tho.
I incorporate the markdown schedule into the end and sell similar. It eventually fixes all problems. Item either gets down to near free and I know no one wants it, or it sells.
I mostly sell clothes, but I have a pretty fast sell through rate. I think its because I price things right and accept offers. I don't want the highest price I can get . . I want my stuff to move. 😊
So many sports card prices are also pure fairy dust and random noise as well unless they are the single hottest players at the moment in the latest sets. With every single card being special with serial numbers now it makes comps really difficult. And interest seems to fall off as the set gets older, even for the same player.
Wow #1, that's pretty cool to see. Very interesting video Paige!! Was great to watch the diversity. I agree about clothes making it much harder to sell regularly, they sell so slowly
Lindey runs a bins store. She buys stuff by the truck load. I imagine there would be a fair amount of brand new stuff in there that people have thrown out, which would be why her ebay store has mostly new items. I only watched a few of her videos, because for some reason youtube doesn't recommend her to me, but I find her stories of running the bins store fascinating.
I think you need to reconsider your sponsorship policy. I need another UA-camr telling me to play Raid. I mean, I’m never gonna play but i still need another person asking me to. Enjoyed the video.
No, we need more youtubers shilling for NordVPN! (it is especially amusing when a youtuber shills for a VPN and obviously doesn't even know what a VPN is or how it works.)
Had to come check this out Paige, after Mondays slinging in Shane's room!- "had to do my RESEARCH"! on the conversation crazy!😂 Okey dokey...😜🤣 Now I 'get it'! Glad I exist 'under the radar'....🤣🤣🤣🤣😘👍 Enjoy ya man!😊
I watch lavender clothesline regularly. If you have viewed her videos and have seen her basement inventory, you can tell that it is not the majority clothing.
How about focus on some niche sellers???????- THAT could be a content vid spin!😁 ( I DISPISE clothes....)...and yeah..weird for a 'fancy ass girl!'😝- just not generally worth the time/effort/roi IMHO...
Several of the people you mention are primarily or equally Poshmark sellers, as they make very clear in their videos. Some sell also on Mercari and other platforms. So their sell through rate is close to double what you are calculating.
The previous video where you said some guy had a 26 Day sale through rate. Isn't that proof that eBay is not actually throttling people? Doesn't this prove if you have items that are highly desirable they will all sell?
I never said that ebay is throttling people. If you bring nothing but great, in demand items at great prices then everything sells. The ladies I left out due to all viewer sales also had insane sell throughs.
Thanks Paige! I'm actually surprised at my sell-through rate and not mad about it 😉I've gotten 6 new subs too! Hopefully, I can keep them 😂I'm sorry but I was cracking up at your laundry conundrum🤣I watch common tags and I think her viewership are mostly listeners because her videos are long and primarily consist of her showing hauls or prepping clothes for her store. She's also part-time as she's a realtor and I think she's cut back on focusing primarily on her reselling business 😉
Great video! Fatgrandmasells sells mostly low dollar items in her store. Could that be why her sell through rate is so good? Her photo's are very good.
Usually called either niching down or being an everything seller. Most people tend to be everythings with some areas of specialty. Clothes is really the only niche that is easily available everywhere and it is super competitive.
No Homeschooling Picker??? I think she’s hooked up with Matt (Part Time Picker) since all their videos have both of them together. They do make a pretty cute couple….
Viewer sale effect as explained in the video. She was an edge case, had I not spent 2 hours examining her store and sales then she would have won this video.
@@onefootflipper She is pretty cringy when she tries to befriend the seller to get better prices. I guess it’s a good tactic, but it’s just cringy and then she brags about it in the ride home….
Your solds are 90 days, the multiplication by 3 is to turn that 90 days into 30 days so it is a month. My brain also wants to insert a 4 into it, but I am not calculating years I am calculating months.
Great video as always. Kudos to the time and effort you put into everything you do. Millennial profit is a you tuber who does retail arbitrage and seems to be killing it maybe check his store and see where he ranks. I'm not sure if he only does retail arbitrage but seems like it. He seems to have a ton of sales just someone I thought of. Keep up the great work!!!
thanks for the upload 2 things i once added an extra free item to an order for a customer the customer then filed an item not as described bc the poster i had included was in too rough of shape to be sold but definitely still in good enough shape to enjoy. (2 corners were ripped) and they did an item not as described and now i want to add freebies but now im scared someone else will pull that. what should i do? and 2 how can we check our own stores sell through rate?
Items listed, divided by items sold, then multiple by 3. I always send a message if I am including a related bonus item so there is no confusion. However if I just have a stack of beanie baby cards nearby I will toss those into packages at random.
I throw in a free item once in a while, but I always write a note so the customer knows it wasn't a mistake. I've never had any trouble, but I also only rarely sell anything in a category where you're more likely to run into issues like that (like trading cards or technology).
How about another list with Partners? Such as The Hustle Couple?

If she is crosslisting heavily that can also make her numbers look worse than they are in reality.
@@onefootflipper she crosslists! I sell on Mercari and she knows those videos are always my favorite that she does 😄

To be fair, Tata and Becky do have very busy closets on Poshmark, I think ebay is their backup store.
I am sure they do.

Salem NH - please create a video on new item sellers😅. Thanks for sharing your experience!!
I can add that to my text file of stuff to do eventually.
Bolo Buddies proclaims "List and forget", she puts out so many youtube videos that I am surprised she has time to sell on-line at all. She is great, tho.
I can't get behind list and forget and it obviously isn't really working for her either.
She also does not do end and sell similar. @@onefootflipper

I got a friend that knows her clothing. And she sells around 2k per month easily.

I have considered a few of the junk amazon items just for fun where they are just offering to send me a free item in exchange for review.

I was basing it off of what I saw in her ebay store which seemed clothing and jewelry focused to me. I might have just missed things though.
She loves baskets, art, metal and wood items. The clothes she picks up are good choices.
Thanks for making this video, this topic is very interesting! Recent subscriber, been enjoying catching up on your videos!

Welcome aboard! Might take a while to catch up!
Love ❤ Ginger Marvin. Just started following fat grandma finds. Thanks!
I hope Grandma gets a lot of subs from this.
Hi just a Tip I’ve sold many many Polaroids without testing them they seem to always work
And I bet most of them never actually get used anyway.
What about the Rebel Reseller? She sells mostly plush.

Nice sales what’s your sale through rate?
Mine was 7 months when I checked it last.
You're absolutely right. Pineapple does belong on pizza.
And mixes well on pizza with onion if the meat isn't ham.
Ugh. That's a NO to both of you 😮 🤢 😉
@@GringoLoco1 blasphemy!
😝🤢🤢🤮🤮🤮 it's an abomination. Stop the pizza blasphemy and just eat the ham lol

So it is seeming like there are two main schools. Buy soooper cheap and be diverse OR be an expert and even more of an expert about what you buy?
Usually called either niching down or being an everything seller. Most people tend to be everythings with some areas of specialty. Clothes is really the only niche that is easily available everywhere and it is super competitive.

you have to multiply by 4 not 3. 3 months times 4 equal one year
No it is 3, I am calculating it in months, not in years.
@@onefootflipper when i do it for my account it shows 400 items for 3 months - and have 2200 items so 1600 per year/2200 right
