I hope you honestly know how much you are helping people. Im on this channel every day all day watching and re-watching trying to become better. I just started a week ago and only have sold 5 items but i think it would be 0 without your tips. Thank you!
@@exploremilehigh303 Im already finding myself trying to put stuff up to sell and thinking chris would think this was a waste of time because its not whats selling and it wont sell.
Same. I have been watching these videos and other reseller videos for a while now and just got into it myself about a month ago. Currently sitting at almost $800 in sales after my first 30 days (about $500 of that being gross net with over 200% ROI). I know it's nothing special or huge, but I definitely would be doing a lot worse without all this help and information!
Yes this channel is a no BS straight FLOOD of cheat codes for selling on Ebay! I LOVE how straight to the point his videos are! I still like other sellers on UA-cam but I'm trying to get serious and scale my business as fast as possible. This channel isn't messing around! I'm blown away by how much he's willing to share and help. I feel like his apprentice!
Haha, I’m so used to eBay selling that when you said you used ‘Velcro’ strips in my head I corrected you to ‘hook & loop’ strips . Automatic reaction lol
This is exactly what I've been wanting information on. I have a bad back and my current set up is very difficult for me. This looks much easier on the back. Thanks, Chris!
Wow, that's very similar to what I've been doing for years. Difference is I use 4100K natural light LEDs instead of the 5500K daylights. Put a nice scrim on them and the lighting is about perfect. And instead of strips, I just use some clamp-on lights with 8" reflectors. Cheap, easy to move around and you can change colors simply by changing bulbs...
Happy I asked the question in the livestream looking forward to this video. I’m sure my sales will increase with more professional photos. Mine are mediocre pictures at the moment.
You do a great job laying it all out. You are giving out the keys to success for anyone that wants to take your advice and run with it! Thanks for all your hard work!
you must be kidding me, I was trying to figure this all out as moving in 2 weeks to 125sqft !! Only doing clothes!! :D because of you and you drop this bomb!!! THANK YOU
This is brilliant all around, the magnetic lights in particular! A couple thoughts: First: I photograph against a white backdrop, but I always shoot with exposure bracketing turned on. When I push the shutter button, the camera takes three pictures: One with auto exposure, one with a brighter exposure, and one with a darker exposure. I am always able to just grab the one that looks best. Second: I have a power strip mounted with Velcro like that (not as part of a photo setup) and every month or so it falls off. Keep an eye on it!
I have been wanting this one bad haha. Really excited for the video! Also appreciate everything you do to help people get started reselling. Cant wait to join the FB group soon.
I've been in the group since for a couple of months now. It's pretty amazing the amount of knowledge and assistance that is there, you won't regret it.
@@Julie-gi3pfI feel like with all the info he puts up for us for free the least i can do it help support something my guy made for his community. Just to help others!
@@BLU_Tp totally agree and you will see, it's kinda nuts what we get for our money...it's really a steal of a deal! Look forward to seeing you there soon :)
Just another plug for the patreon and facebook group. I have been reselling for a long time, and the group has helped me to take my business to the next level of enjoyment and profitability.
Nice ! That Foams gonna crack though , I would add something behind it to support it , or use a tack board... I have an art desk , that I can tilt at an angle it's nice ,,, an multi functional... I was watching a video of one guy had a material that grips it and it doesn't slide , I don't recall what it was exactly
Building my own photo box, super windy atm in my area so it was really annoying to carry to the car...joanns still carries that sherpa tho so im happy about that
I really liked this one. I'm getting my photo booth set up this weekend. I'm using a screen from a sliding door and covering it with white linen. I'll prop that against the patio wall raised up on bricks so I can get closer if I want to and the lighting is natural light filtered by outdoor curtain panels plus patio bulbs on a string.
After this video I went to Facebook Marketplace and got a used 6x4x1.5 metal shelf system for $45. Nice to get that out of the way for cheap. Will pick up near New Years.
Great video, not only the content but the way you do your videos now with the animations etc. I noticed and it makes it that much better, love the improvements and keep it up 👍
Your setup is amazing (I'm kinda wishing we sold clothes), but we sell vintage nic-naks, dishes, jewelry, etc. I was inspired by your video however, so I did order a 5500K LED light and tripod so I can create an actual photo area in our house. The lighting in our house is more dungeon friendly than eBay listing friendly.
If you have a Harbor Freight nearby, you can get a lot of things there on the cheap, and for basic tools you will use in reselling you don't need the expensive high quality stuff. You're not going to be using them like a mechanic or carpenter would. Harbor Freight is usually cheaper than getting Chinese knockoffs from Amazon.
You've definitely pointed me in the right direction. I'm pretty new to reselling. Just got a bigger climate control storage unit . I'm going cheap as possible. I'm thinking about going to restore buying a door and find a inexpensive gray rug 😂😂. Will maybe use bricks to keep the door in place when I tip it back. My wheels are definitely turning. Again thanks for this idea.
I sell toys, video games and misc items. I have a table against the wall and use a roller window cover as my background. It's white and creates a infinity background, plus it's cheap. The lights are just 5500 led lights hung that I got at Home Depot.
LOVE the new video format. The editing and videography is on point! Question: what do you think about stabilizing the foam board with plywood backing? Helpful, or not really?
I use a tablecloth that would be hard to duplicate just in case you know how scammers can be. I have used 3 different ones I have used it also helps to date the items to.
Congratulations on 100k subs. I got a few reminders when I first started ebay in this video. Always nice to refresh. Keep up the good work Chris. Thank you for the video.
Hi just wondering if you used 2 of the 8 ft. x 0.5 in. x 48 in. foam boards or just 1 board and cut that down? Also how many yards of Sherpa fabric did you use? Thank you so much! You’ve been a great help and asset to this community!
Everything looks great but a little suggestion might be to put some 2x4’s behind the foam, if you accidentally lean against the foam too hard, you might snap it. Otherwise, great setup!
Dang I just redid mine because i just started doing more clothes and this looks way better! I think im going to have a dedicated spot fo clothes and one for items (most of my items are 12x12x12 ish or smaller)
Great video! I do something similar on a smaller scale, but have been wanting to make mine bigger. Thanks for the idea of using the insulation board! 😊
Hey man I just want to say a big thank you to you for making all this knowledge available for a young hustler like me trying to create a new source of income thank you so much God bless
How do you measure? Do you measure the clothing right on the board after taking the pictures? Then List at the same time? I am definitely making this photo box for clothing, amazing content.
Have you had any problems with the 2 pieces of insulation staying together properly where they meet in the middle? Maybe one side bending lower than the other and when the fabric lays over it creating a shadow from the light? Thank you for the great videos and info you provide.
Hi can you make a video please how to keep the inventory system I listen the video about the consecutive number that you put it in every item but I did not know hoe to do it or having set up in your ebay store. Thank you for all the work that you do. I really appreciated every video. Merry Christmas to you and your family
Based on how old this video is I doubt this will get answered but do you ever need to change the backdrop color to accommodate the color of the object? Like in this case if you had a very similar color grey sweatpants for example, would you find a different backdrop? In a shop like yours with multiple photography stations it seems like it could be beneficial to have at least one station with a different color. I do think in general there is some merit to keeping the background consistent because I think repeat customers can begin to recognize the seller just based on the photos, if there is consistency.

Fantastic video Chris. Thank you very much for taking the time to make it.

Loved the video! I'm definitely going to adapt my set up to use the shelving + magnetic lighting system idea. Keep killing it, Chris!
Thank You!
Thank you so much for this video,I've been doing a flat lay and it just destroys my back,much appreciated Chris,you're a life saver and back saver.
You’re very welcome!
Efficient cool set up! I’ve been bending down & up for flat layouts way too long. Thanks for sharing!🎉❤

Most efficient system I’ve seen to date. Thank you for sharing!
Love this setup Chris! I've been wanting a leaning backboard and this with flippability tops all I've seen.

Great video Chris super helpful. Plus the new theme is straight Flames 👍💯

I need this video thank u for doing this. I hang stuff on the wall and hate the shadows I get
Gonna be an epic video, chat soon Joy
Thank you so much for your help. I have had to put a little money into getting started. I'm hoping it will work. You have great advice.
Thank you so much. You consistently give amazing advice and content.
You are so welcome!
I sell toys, video games and misc items. I have a table against the wall and use a roller window cover as my background. It's white and creates a infinity background, plus it's cheap. The lights are just 5500 led lights hung that I got at Home Depot.
Yesss been waiting for this. Thank you for keeping your word!
You are so welcome
LOVE the new video format. The editing and videography is on point! Question: what do you think about stabilizing the foam board with plywood backing? Helpful, or not really?
Might be useful, not necessary
Pelon would make a great background and diffuser..cheap too
Thanks for putting this out. This info will definitely be useful in building my booth. 👍🏼
I use a tablecloth that would be hard to duplicate just in case you know how scammers can be. I have used 3 different ones I have used it also helps to date the items to.
Most darling Christopher- this was very helpful- thank you. Elizabeth
I picked up boards at home depot but that's going back now!
Chris, I am learning so much!!!!
Excellent video, to the point and not too long!

Love the set up - way easier than the mannequin I am using. I think it is time to change.
insane production value, new editor?
Yay, I got myself an editor for Christmas

Dang I just redid mine because i just started doing more clothes and this looks way better! I think im going to have a dedicated spot fo clothes and one for items (most of my items are 12x12x12 ish or smaller)
😀
Can you make it easy for me and drop an Amazon link for those 55k lights by any chance
You are my hero! I want to be you when I grow up!
Let’s do it
Great video! I do something similar on a smaller scale, but have been wanting to make mine bigger. Thanks for the idea of using the insulation board! 😊
You’re very welcome!
Been waiting for this video!
Thanks Chris you the man!
Thank you! Excellent information
Hey man I just want to say a big thank you to you for making all this knowledge available for a young hustler like me trying to create a new source of income thank you so much God bless
Thank you chris... great video..
Thank You!
Merry Christmas 🎄 and happy new year 🥳 I hope you and your gamy have a wonderful time!!
Thank you! You too!
i use halogen.. the led are terrible to take pics with... hal is more natural looking light so the colors are proper
Great video dude!
How do you measure? Do you measure the clothing right on the board after taking the pictures? Then List at the same time? I am definitely making this photo box for clothing, amazing content.
congrats on 100K
Thank you so much 😀
This was great! Thank you!
u are super smart!!!
This is awesome! Thank you so much for sharing your knowledge. I’m selling golf clubs any advice on a photo set-up for those out there?
Hey did i mention these lights, they are... magnetic.
Gracias...Thank you for the information!!!!
Thank you for the video 😊
Hi, where can I buy the magnetic lights
Have you had any problems with the 2 pieces of insulation staying together properly where they meet in the middle? Maybe one side bending lower than the other and when the fabric lays over it creating a shadow from the light? Thank you for the great videos and info you provide.
Not at all
You could tape them together with a heavy duty tape if you wanted
What is the link for the lights?
Fantastic. Thank you so much. :)
You’re very welcome!
Great ideas! TY for all of this information.
Glad it was helpful!
VERO! You said Velcro lol
Super awesome video! Thanks for all the information.
Glad it was helpful!
Thank You!!!
You got some good ideas man.
Question… won’t that material leave ‘fuzz or lint on the clothes?
Great video!

I don’t need to change it bc the grey acts as a grey card
