I tried this idea again with 20 more items but waited 4 months to update you all with what sold. Check out that video next! ua-cam.com/video/ZtXjGhRHxD8/v-deo.html
One week is really tough for most brands, so I'm impressed that 9 sold. J. Jill is a bread and butter brand that I pick up often, but it does not sell quickly. But most of my bread and butter brands are slow movers. Fun experiment :)
Agree...are things supposed to sell in a week? Sometimes I sell things in a day or a week but most items need some time. And if I find the right buyer, and it takes a while, I'm good if the profit is there.
@@Solacefoundandcurated I list right away - I don't have a death pile but I don't understand the expectation that items "should" sell in a week - it's not like we're a grocery store! Or, that it was a "bad buy" if an item does not sell super quick. :-)
Ohhh I think that was a rare & sought-after Vs Pink sweatshirt! I’ve seen people looking for that in the PINK fb groups I’m in. I think people pay up (like $80-$100) for that one. Someone definitely got a good deal!
I’d be curious to know if listing the higher items low made any difference in offers. I get the sense that people offer the same sorts of percentage off regardless of what the item is actually worth. So if they see something listed at $20 they automatically offer $15 even if the market price is $40. If they saw it priced at $40 they’d offer $30.
I kinda agree with you. I’m not an “all in” seller but, when I do make my store active, what I have found is that if I turn on best offer with a set BO price, the buyer will automatically figure out how low I’ll go then offer that price.
Love all the details. I’m this case - I just don’t think one week is enough time. I think you would have better data and success if you list for 14-20 days. 😁💖
Hi! Thank you for all of your hard work on this experiment! I personally think offering free shipping makes a HUGE difference. It’s a mental thing. People just hate to pay for shipping. I’d be curious about listing everything for $28 and free shipping. In fact, I may have to try it myself lol
Just a quick question, someone told me that if I offer free shipping, that I have to pay for shipping in the case of a return. I can't remember which platform though. Is this true?
@@DandyBeingTandi hi! I accidentally sent the wrong sweater to someone and I’m pretty much 100% free shipping on poshmark. I didn’t have to pay for return shipping. But, I imagine poshmark will charge if returns become an ongoing issue with a seller in general.
I like this video. I feel like that the amount of $20 items that sold within a week is pretty good. What percentage of your listings sell within a week?
I enjoyed the experiment. I think it's a great idea, like you said some fast sales always works. Even some of those "higher priced" items may not sell when listed or take a long time to sell. I'd love to see more of these. You're analytical mind really helps to bring the idea and results to life for me. Thanks for all you do.
I think it was brilliant. I would like to see if you raised the price on the items that have not sold if they would sell with in 7 days. I have done that on etsy and was shocked to see they sold. I love that crunch the numbers for us. I guess I will try market place. I have bought off there but never have sold.
I love your experiment videos! The thing that surprised me the most, was that your eBay fees were actually higher than your Poshmark fees on some items. Do you use calculated shipping on ebay? I do, and I use the money I "save" on using the the difference they charge me (discount rate) vs what they charge the customer (market rate) as a reduction of my fees, so my fees tend to be lower on ebay. I've always wondered if this was correct, but at least I have been consistent and my calculations, so my year over year numbers at least make sense to me. another question I would have is what do you think your sell-through rate was on these items versus if you would price them all individually. from a marketing standpoint, I do think a $20 store is a great idea if you can find enough product. I'll be following to see what you decide and other experiments you do. hope you are well. tfs
Great video! I definitely feel when it comes down to online resell that having a crap ton of items in your store with free shipping at a good price is the most effective. Also you want to make sure you get all your items for pennies on the dollar so you have wiggle room to accept offers and be ok with little profits on a lot of items. Just my two cents lol Love your videos. Very informative :)
I love that you did this! I was literally just thinking this past week about listing a bunch of stuff at the same price to see what sells fastest so it's kind of eerie that you were doing this lol. I'm curious to know how long the other items will take!
LOL! LOL! Your "theme" videos always tickle me. LOL! You have such an analytical mind. I always learn from you. Thank you for the info and the chuckles.
This was such a fun experiment ~~ and if you are able to get your inventory at a low enough price point then it is definitely worth trying. And to have a decent sell through rate after only 1 week is great. I think it is a fairly low percentage of items that sell within that period of time (on average). Unfortunately right now, I cannot seem to get anything to move. I have all but given up on sending out offers to likers on Poshmark. I just don't have the success that I would expect to see to make it worth my time. Last night I sat and delisted all of my active listings (and before you gasp in shock and horror, just know that I only had about 40 items listed). Until such time as sales improve on that platform and buyers get over the silly notion that they are going to get crap for next to nothing, I am going to scale way back. This is really unfortunate since I am sitting with a den and a closet full of inventory that I cannot seem to give away.
Great experiment and great video! Are you leaving those other items listed. If so will you leave at the same price. I would be interested to know how many more sold at 2 weeks, 3 weeks and then at a month.
I was wondering how your $20 experiment was going. That’s awesome that you had that many new listings sell in a week. I love the uniqueness of this kind of video- great idea Amber!
I love your experiments! I’m not even a clothes seller, but just the analytics of them are interesting to me! I would definitely love to see more videos like this! Thanks for sharing! 😊
Loved the video, and an exciting experiment. With the slow down of summer, and listing a few Fall/Winter items, I would be interested to see if you were to rerun the same experiment at the end of Summer, into the Fall, you might see a difference, especially with the wrap dress and jeans. I have A LOT of jeans listed and have sold one or two in the past month, but I don't think others are looking for those items at the moment (or at least the number of people looking has gone down).
Fun experiment but 1 week is not really long enough to see if an item will sell. I’d love to see it done with a month selling time frame. Thanks for sharing
Mt favorite video so far. I like to gamble a little but, like fast sales and like to test the market. Great experiment! I've been thinking of doing something very similar soon!
This is close to the model I use. Since I shop exclusively at the bins, I price almost everything at $19. I’ve heard that when prices end in 9, it does something to our consumer brain that makes us feel like we are getting a good deal. Despite this tactic, I still find I sell few items at the $19 full asking price :( Possible that I just need more patience, I get antsy for quick turn around times on items.
A little better than the crowd! I felt the North Face Dress might be a problem...people don't often look to North Face for their dresses, that said, I probably would have picked it up!@@AmberResells
There are millions of clothing items on eBay and the algorithm is geared now to promoting it if you priced with promotions or if you ran you add with % off price it up give discounts
Loved this video! I, of course, wish everything would have sold for you!💵 I remember voting on your IG but couldn't remember how I voted! DOH! Old guy disease! LOL I think I'll rename you Statistical Analytic Amber! LOL!
I think it was a great experiment. A week is a short amount of time though. I learn so much from your videos so thank you. Do you ever offer local pickup on FB marketplace? I used too but there were a lot of no shows and I just don't want to be driving around or giving my address to strangers.
J. Jill is a bread and butter brand for me and Lane Bryant does do well in certain styles etc. I bet that dress didn't do well because of the time of year. Great experiment!
I was surprised when you said fees for FBMP. I live in Australia and there aren’t fees for selling on FB. (Unless you count small PayPal fee?) are Facebook actually charging you? Loved this experiment!
Hi i have a question what do you think about people that reposh i mean photos and all i feel strange about it just wanted your opinion have a safe and blessed holiday weekend be careful out there SHALOM AMEN SHALOM
I tried this idea again with 20 more items but waited 4 months to update you all with what sold. Check out that video next! ua-cam.com/video/ZtXjGhRHxD8/v-deo.html
Amber, I always enjoy your analytical approach to reselling. It's always a fun watch.
Thanks Victoria!
I love these types of experiments. Fast sales with double digit profits are always welcome.
I've learned that people sometimes avoid items that are priced too low...stigma
One week is really tough for most brands, so I'm impressed that 9 sold. J. Jill is a bread and butter brand that I pick up often, but it does not sell quickly. But most of my bread and butter brands are slow movers. Fun experiment :)
Agree...are things supposed to sell in a week? Sometimes I sell things in a day or a week but most items need some time. And if I find the right buyer, and it takes a while, I'm good if the profit is there.
Agree with both of you. I’ve sold stuff in a week, but usually is stuff I’ve held on to for months before listing. I’m terrible, I know! 😅😂😅
@@Solacefoundandcurated I list right away - I don't have a death pile but I don't understand the expectation that items "should" sell in a week - it's not like we're a grocery store! Or, that it was a "bad buy" if an item does not sell super quick. :-)
J. Jill and Lane Bryant are brands I skip. I love Banana Rep and I wear Banana Repub, but it is so slowww to sell.
That's a great return to have 9 sell in a week. Fast nickel over a slow dime.
Ohhh I think that was a rare & sought-after Vs Pink sweatshirt! I’ve seen people looking for that in the PINK fb groups I’m in. I think people pay up (like $80-$100) for that one. Someone definitely got a good deal!
But it had a flaw!

I read somewhere recently that someone miss priced their item at $3 instead of the going rate of $30, and they still had a haggler!
any tips for fb? i list everything over there with barely any views or sales!
Love your videos! Very original and analytical 🧐, which I love.
Great experiment..fast flips aren't ever wrong!
Love all the details. I’m this case - I just don’t think one week is enough time. I think you would have better data and success if you list for 14-20 days. 😁💖
I was actually very happy with the success! 9 out of 20 in a week feels like success to me!

I know when I am shopping if the shipping price looks inflated, even if the item is priced below market, I'll pass.
Just a quick question, someone told me that if I offer free shipping, that I have to pay for shipping in the case of a return. I can't remember which platform though. Is this true?

@@ahall8958 Ok good to know!! Thank you!
I'm curious to see how the other items do with a little more time if you feel like updating us on instagram or something.
I really like this idea! I might try this as I list my death pile.
I sell Lane Bryant all the time. But, I only source at the bins. It sells between $15-$30.
Don’t get why people get so upset about other people listing lower. It’s ok folks!
Love your videos, there is so much work you put into it for them

Fascinating experiment as always. Did anything else sell after the video time ?
I did like this. Interesting and I would like to see more like this!

Very interesting! I like your experiments. Makes me want to pick up more bins items because really almost half in a week is pretty impressive!
Hi Amber, great experiment! The way you showed them before and after was a fun way to showcase the items and tell the outcome! Cheers Pat

This was fun and interesting...I found myself testing my knowledge...
Love that!! How did you do?

4 on FB Marketplace?? That's pretty good. I never seem to sell much there and I even have paid shipping. hmmm
I was relief to know they were individual items, I thought it was all items in store for $20. 😌😅🤗 Not surprise the pink sweater sold.
Hi have you ever used the Flyp reselling app? If you have could you please do a video on it. Tyvm
Love your experiments ..
Thank you!
Love the experiment
Carhart got really trendy recently, especially with Gen Z because of TikTok so I’m not surprised they sold.
J. Jill is a bread and butter brand for me and Lane Bryant does do well in certain styles etc. I bet that dress didn't do well because of the time of year. Great experiment!
Both the j jill and lane Bryant have sold since the video!
@@AmberResells Nice! :) I am trying your tactic on some older inventory
Loved this
Lane Bryant does well for me if I get it for $1 lol but you will definitely sell that dress for $20 at some point I think.
I was surprised when you said fees for FBMP. I live in Australia and there aren’t fees for selling on FB. (Unless you count small PayPal fee?) are Facebook actually charging you? Loved this experiment!
Facebook didn’t have fees here at first! Once they got up and running though, they changed to 5%.
I always love your videos!
Great experiment.
This is how I try to do my closet
That was very interesting. Thank you.
I think the ZARA dress being ORANGE had a lot to do with it not selling.
Hi i have a question what do you think about people that reposh i mean photos and all i feel strange about it just wanted your opinion have a safe and blessed holiday weekend be careful out there SHALOM AMEN SHALOM
Mall brands are bread n butter :)
Zara does not sell for me.. It just sits FOREVER
I love your videos! So interesting.
How do you know how to price the items you are selling?
Hi. I m new. Interesting thought. I m subscribing
Nice!! Do you pay for shipping on FBM?
No, the buyer pays.
Lets go 🕶
I never see anyone wearing pink anything where I live. Who is buying all the pink? 😂
