No question you are doing a service for everyone for all the reasons you mentioned and more. Don't listen to the naysayers. They have a right to their opinion. Keep it going Mike. Great 👍 job.
Heat the sticker and the adhesive let’s go. Heat gun hair dryer work great. Then goo gone or WD-40 to get adhesive off.
The disrespect that so many stores have for vintage quality items kills me. One store I go to gets in on a regular basis, beautiful vintage silk shawls and scarves and 50% of the time, they're ruined by the holes (sometimes more than one), that the plastic tags make when attached. I've tried several times to bring this to their attention but they don't care. It's just a waste on so many levels.
How many pieces of glass are broken? Figurines etc, I've seen boxes that look new only to open and clothing or other items inside. They don't give a rip.
It almost seems like they do it on purpose sometimes 😢
Ebay stock price is kicking ass; earnings exceeded expectations; doesnt look like the business is slowing down .
Need to keep an eye on it. Still have their issues, but they are the best game in town when it comes to what many do. Love hate is always what we say when it comes to some of the things eBay does.
My local Goodwill is worse, they use permanent marker to write the price on everything! Pottery, wood, toys, plush, coats. Doesn’t matter. So frustrating when you see awesome items with permanent marker on them. Some items you can get it off but others you’re out of luck.
Try using dry erase marker and wipe off.
I've seen that in NC. Weird. Clown show for doing that.
@@goldenstatepickerI’m in NC & our Goodwills do not use markers but they think they have to put 3 - 10 stickers on everything. Ugh
and if they lose their resellers they go out of business, I don't have one in my area but went onto their auction site and they over charge for shipping
Try clear hand sanitizer, cheap enough to pick up cheap now too
Hey Mike 👋 i like you bringing some ebay news and remaining positive. Im the same.... ebay isnt going anywhere 👍
The lamp: That is representing the Marshall Fields original flagship store in Chicago. Sadly, Macys bought out MF. However, people are very nostalgic about that store and clock. You may be able to sell it as is. Radko made an ornament of that clock and it does well on ebay
Thanks. I'm going to try and fix the lamp.
Could you fish the new cord through the existing hole and out the top by using the original cord? Attach the two together with a drop of hardcore super glue and use the old cord to pull the new cord up and out? I don't know Jack about lamp fixing or electrical cords but that's what my brain put together for you :)@@goldenstatepicker
My full-time job is a hair stylist and it's an election year, so things are slower, but I do talk to loads of people and all corps are scaling back right now. Delta airlines just laid off a bunch of managers, so did Honda and Cal trans. This still doesn't feel like we are going into a recession. I've made it through the last one. Hair stylist and most beauty service feels it coming for six months to a year before the rest of businesses and we aren't. People are still paying in cash, when it switches to credit card then we are going into one. been self-employed for 27 years. To me companies are doing these lay off just like they have done before to hire and under pay. It's managers that most are getting away from. Managers cost more money, but these companies always learn the hard way, they need their managers. I just started reselling for my retirement job. Figured I would start now so in one or two years i can retire from hair.
Thanks for the comment. They always find away to thin the herd as they say. Best wishes to you in your reselling.
This is to the guy who is upset about where you live and that he cannot find good stuff like you :Nobody can control where they live at all the Time, you can only learn as much as you can and put it all to work for you. Spent more time learning and growing your business and less time being upset that you cannot find as good stuff, just go out each day and learn and you will find some great items, more learning less complaining. Love the show brother, love learning from ya and seeing what you got, im out...on my way to savers!!
SLAVERS! Lol! All the best and thanks for watching
17:30 You ARE pronouncing Ryrie right!
19:20 I bought a bunch of sweatshirts one time that had masking tape as the price stickers and when I got them home, they ALL had cigarette burns on them with the tape covering the burn holes. Speaking of burning, I was incensed.
22:25 Almost 25 years here, but I've only, in the past two years, started putting my shipping costs up to what it should be to cover my costs and not one person has complained. Not one. I'm also pricing my books enough to at least cover my costs plus some. I will NOT allow anyone to talk me down to selling something for less than I paid for it. I used to do that, but now? Oh no. It's too hard to carry books in and out of a thrift store, my car, my house, the post office, storing things, etc. to not make any money. One thing I LOVE about being in my 60's. People can't talk me into anything. I have no qualms in saying "That doesn't work for me...sorry....not sorry."
26:10 Is it kind of like driving a stick shift where you kind of become one with the car? So like, with forged, you become one with the club? And where on the club does it say "forged" or "cast"?
Thanks again for the great comment. Appreciate it.
The tape on Ninja Turtle mug can be removed by soaking it in water first.
Another great video Mike. I love the way you use it as a teaching tool. So helpful to many of us.
Thanks for watching
Made good score thrifting today. Sales are steady and climbing.
I'm new to reselling but I have a good eye for things and am in the Denver area where i have more Arcs than Goodwills but people are just throwing away the greatest stuff ever. I feel like I am saying the world while trying to afford rent at the same time. Regardless I really do hope it works because since covid I have changed due to raising a special needs child by myself and I work better alone. My daughter is 23 now and in a group home close to me. I relocated in the Denver metro area but there is a lot of land here so moving from the Green Mountain/Morrison area to South Denver seems like moving to Nebraska and we fell on hard times. So I know hard work and determination with the right attitude will hopefully pay off. I wish everyone the best of luck. Thanks for the encouragement
All the best to you and your daughter. You got this!
Thank you for sharing your sales. Interesting to see the difference of prices from one coast to the other lol.
I think a lot of owners are trying to cut down management to about 10-50 people max. Can't even blame them
Good point about the time. I have a really rare video game system that someone just gave me for free. But I can't get it to power on. I don't really know anything about fixing them, thinking I'll sell for parts and move on, still should get around $300, 🤞thanks again and, I appreciate you!
Thanks again Bill. Appreciate it.
Always like hearing your words of wisdom and encouragement ❤
Thanks again for watching.
Resellers buying in thrift stores allow the thrift stores to hire more people and maintain bigger spaces.
Without resellers a big chunk of the stores would be out of business.
Fix that lamp! Shouldnt take too much....Ive replaced a few. Do it quick though or its gonna end up in the death pile lol
Yeap, will give it a shot, Thanks for watching
Cow farts will be our demise. So I’ve heard. 😂😂😂
You do such a great job of explaining things. Love your videos! Thanks.😊
Thanks so much for watching. Appreciate it.
Thanks Mike another great video
Thanks for watching appreciate it.
Thanks Mike!
I had to scroll down to see where you were! LOL
Good video
Hello Mike, I haven’t caught a video in sometime but I’m glad to see that you’re doing well. I’m digging the shirt you have on. Have a great evening
Thanks for watching glad you are still out there.
@@goldenstatepicker indeed 👍🏻
Thanks for sharing so much valuable information. You are able to find such neat items. How do you ship golf clubs?
Long tubes. 6X6X48 or less. I find them behind Joanne's Fabric stores.
Fix the lamp!
I don't know about vinyl records, but fast fashion and clothing made from a mix of polymers is a real problem. The EPA reports that Americans generate 16 million tons of textile waste a year. A small percentage gets reused or recycled. The rest is either burnt for power or dumped into a landfill.
Yeap, not to mention all the plastic bottles. Basically an issue everywhere.
Does anyone else notice Goodwill putting there price stickers over the barcode? This is not an accident.
They do that and on the bottom of all their glassware, which blocks the makers mark many times.
I didn’t because I avoid ripoffwill
Please tell us how you ship long items like golf clubs. Thank you.
I use tubes that are 6X6X48 that I find behind Joanne's fabric. You can resize them down to a smaller size for shorter clubs.
Definitely fix it.
Couldn't you rewire the lamp by using a come-along attached to one or the other end of the old cord then pulling it through?
Both ends cut to close to the metal. Could be tricky. So, I will have to look at it closer.
Just b/c you had command in the market in the past does not mean you will in the future. Ebay IS Sears, KMart, I don't see any positive outcome unless ebay fires all the ebay ceo and executives and hire someone with the vision
That's a big part of it. They have horrible management.
Ebay is simply looking at cutting the waste. Unnecessary employees. Facebook started doing it a year ago. Their profits have skyrocketed since. Google needs to get rid of thousands of employees. Smart companies learn to not over-hire. It's been a good practice for decades. Our government could learn from a company like Meta. Stop hiring and get rid of the dead weight.
Those of us who worked at large corporations understand the Wolf Meat Principle. Managers hire extra employees who aren't good for much, but increase the size and importance of their department. The more people who report to you , the higher your perceived rank. And when the wolf comes around, you have something for him.
you got to fixs the clock
people are making more per hour or per year but costs have gone up even more so even the raise in income for people still does not stretch as far as it used to
Sure doesn't. Basically losing ground every year.
@@goldenstatepicker that is what makes me mad most don't realize
@@ShortCrypticTales everyone thinks I’ve gotten a raise yet you really haven’t. It’s gone as a tax called inflation :
@@goldenstatepicker I see it as I call it in business I try to be a realist
@@ShortCrypticTales people are so blind as to what is going on around us. They have you look over here while they are behind the curtain taking our money! We are so far down the rabbit hole now that I don’t think we ever get out.
Rip
try fixing it mike. only an 8 bucks loss if it doesn't work out
Today is Friday? You must live in China
LOL. No 'm always about 3 weeks behind. Especially if I'm out of town.
Fix it!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
19:30 Good luck finding someone working minimum wage that gives a crap
I think management has a lot to do with it. Policies aren't thought out well
I’m glad you’re conscious of the environment! Most right wing folks aren’t. Thank you
Liberal taintstains are the ones who scoff at reusing boxes for shipping and buying crap from thriftstores
🙄🙄
There are many of us conservatives that have common sense. All my friends think the same way. No one wants to pollute etc. Thanks for watching.
