Thanks for watching, everyone! Don’t forget to sign up for Stash right here to get that bonus offer 🥰: bit.ly/3oYS7xf
Sounds good. I plan on putting most of my profits from selling into some sort of investment vehicle 😊
It’s good to let people know that you have had bad buys. Not everyone shows the bad with the good. Great video.
I absolutely love your "screw up," "don't do this" and scammer videos. I've learned so much! Not only have you learned by these experiences, but you've helped me to avoid them as well. God bless you and your family!
You do a phenomenal job at explaining how your system works with such clarity. Love your channel. Your husband is hilarious
I appreciate this so much!! Thank you! 🥰🥰🥰
I love how your hubs is involved in the process & supportive! You guys are a great team… inspiring!
Ashley, Thanks for being so candid and open about how the ups usually come with downs, but you have to persevere and like you said, learn from the downs so the ups become more consistent. Virtual hugs for all the help you have given me.
Very insightful! Your husband is great at finding the pockets within the conversation to dive deeper into. Loved it!
Your videos are helping me learn so much! I’m only a little over a year into reselling and I feel like I’m just now finding what sells and what doesn’t. It feels like a gamble sometimes for sure! But it’s so fun!
Thank you for clearing things up about liquidation! We've been throwing around the idea of trying to buy more in bulk since it's difficult to find enough inventory with two small kids at home. We needed to hear these tips, thanks!
Thank you for sharing the bad and the good with us. You said we need to start at home first just going through our things. When Lord and Taylor filed BK I bought a lot of clothes some dresses cost over 400.00. never worn and shoes. Your advice is really helpful. Thank you Allie 😊
I am SOOOOOO appreciative of this video and your transparency of "failure" in the past. Watching UA-cam resellers I find I think they don't make many mistakes, but you have and continue to try new options. That is so brave!
I completely agree that the best source is garage sales and thrift stores. But the prices at the Thrift Stores has increased by 40% or more.
Glad I found your channel. Love your experience and so helpful and honest. Blessings to you and your whole family.
Ashley, you are filled with knowledge and important information. You are so great at what you do and we can all learn a lot from you!!!!!!!! Thank you.
Love seeing the two of you in the videos. Your content is always amazing! I love seeing you grow, and inspire...very motivating!
Thanks for sharing the horror stories. After your last video, I have started to research some and all the ones you said not to go through are the ones I’ve found so far. Thanks for the tips, it’s going to help me going forward😃
Thanks for sharing your trial and errors with us. The bad with the good . Not everyone let's us hear that side.. Love how supportive your husband is with you.. awesome 👌.. stay safe and God Bless.
If you have store ollies in you're neighboorhood they sell items by the pallet to check them out
This is the video I needed to see, I am also a reseller and it was good to see that it's not all great for you. It's a struggle sometimes. It's hard work. The garage picture was great - because my garage has been a wreck like that. Thank you for the real side of reselling.
Great video! Sure do appreciate the info. It’s funny how TJ is so knowledgeable and in more of your videos now. I guess he’s not shy anymore 😆.
Great info! Love how you are willing to show the downsides of the business. It’s not all roses the way it may look on UA-cam.
Totally about learning the lesson the hard way! I just won my second zulily returns pallet and I knew better than to bid on it. But it showed good shoes ect in the manifest. When it arrived none of those shoes not a single pair were in my pallets!!! So the recovery will be hard when the items I was relying on selling weren’t included 🙄🤦♀️
Thank you for telling us this.
Sure helps to know all these lessons.
♡
Thanks so much for sharing! I want to keep growing, and getting myself out there and conquering my shyness is definitely the next step!
One time I went to my local liquidation store where they sell everything from soup to nuts. I usually buy my coffee there (often Starbucks ground coffee) and lots of other grocery items. I rounded the corner in the store and noticed a shelf of shoes…a lot of shoes…all Rothy’s. I checked them for authenticity which took me a little while and went home with 4 pair. I did a bit more research on them when I got home and 🤦♀️ decided to go back and get the rest. I paid $12.00 a pair for them. I sold all but one pair which I gave to my sweet stepdaughter. All the rest sold for about $90.00 on average. It was best pick up ever. Every time I go to that store I check that shelf first. Love your vids and learn so much even though I’ve been doing this for a while. I’m in Canada but most of what you vlog applies very well. Take care! Jo
Thank you for sharing these stories. If I end up losing money on a buy I get so discouraged. I love the “tuition” perspective.
I LOVE this information! You explaining the truth on how to grow and that it takes time, is a breath of fresh air. Have a great day :)
I really appreciate your honesty! As in any thing it seems to be a learning process and there din’t seem to be a lot of short cuts. Very good and helpful video! Thank you! By the way,given your life story and current situation I want to take the liberty to recommend a book I think you could relate to , The Glass Castle by Jeanette Walls. Thanks again.
Thanks for sharing your good and bad with us!! I love TJ's input!.
This was amazing. Thank you for sharing your knowledge and experience. It gives me hope!!
Glad you did this video-people need to hear this- good job!
Absolute great video. Next month is my 1 year anniversary reselling and I had no idea about liquidation. My head is going to explode. 🤯
Thank you for sharing that video. It’s not easy to let people see your vulnerability but it was eye opening. I think most of us thought you were having score , score and score but it’s nice to know we’re not alone with our wins and losses! Still waiting for Flyp!! I’m on the waitlist. Do you know anything? Keep up the great videos😀
Thanks so much both of you for giving clarity. I very much needed this.
Oh man I have more bad than good stories on pallets for sure! Watching your last few videos gave me the itch tough lol but I agree thrift is the safest ❤️❤️
This was great information so thank you! I feel like people tend to be hush hush about wholesale sometimes. Just good to get some base knowledge about it. I think I"ll stick to yards sales and Goodwill for now :). Maybe someday....
VERY helpful! Thank you so much for sharing!
Great video! Thanks for being so open to share!!
I’m excited to watch this! I was binging your videos all day lol
Thanks for your honesty. Not every buy is a winner. That’s how we learn.
Thank you for sharing. It puts so many things in perspective 👍
🧡 your channel U fill me with so much insight on all kinds of things on reseller.
Love this candid talk. So informative yet easy to listen to and digest.
Can you speak on if you use coupons on ebay?
Thanks for sharing the knowledge !! The good and the bad !!
Can't wait for garage sale season to start again. I'm finding that Estate Sales and thrift stores are typically priced too high for a lot of profit but ya gotta keep looking...
LOVED THIS! Thank you!!
Great video
Learning from someone elses mistakes talking about wholesalers was great
So many people think it's easy what you do , then the nightmares kick in
Yes, you are correct. I would say don't buy anything not knowing what you are getting. People lose a lot of money on liquidation. Living in California, I tried so many ways. It is getting hard these days. Thank you
Thank you for the honesty and the knowledge that you shared.
Good stuff. Love the "tuition" frame!
Great information! Thanks for sharing💕
Hahaha the car parts story, it's the classic Ashley story for anyone who has been around here for awhile. I remember all the "what sold" videos with random car parts sold among the clothing and you explained half the time for the new people that you bought a bunch and they were just slowly selling. How many do you actually have left?
Thank you so much for the knowledge on what to look for and be aware. I do appreciate you so much for sharing. When is your husband going to join you in reselling. You both make a great team. 👍😊🌼
Really great info! Thank you so much!
3 years ago I bought 2000 dog leashes for $1500. What a great deal! 3 years later I have 1998 of them left.
😆 oh no!! I’m so sorry - I’m sure we all have those buys though!
Thank you so much for sharing this reality!!
THANK YOU for doing this video!
Thank you for sharing your experiences! Appreciate the info.
You work so hard!! Love your videos. Cathy
how do you go about making your videos. Do you write out a script or go off of a loose outline? Is it all just Train of thought off of a certain subject?
This is a great video by the way, can't wait to see the next one.
Always good information. Thanks
Thanks for showing us both the bad and the good!
Have you purchased any Goodwill blue boxes? I would love to get your thoughts as a reseller on Goodwill blue boxes and goodwill auctions online, and even auctions on Hibid.
Love following your channel. All the tubs that have stuff in are it listed or stuff too sell!! Just 🤔 wondered
There is a secret sauce...and you follow the recipe....Hard work and dedication to growth. Re-selling is a job. You set a work schedule and you work that schedule.
Thank you for your service!👍😁🙏👋👏👏👏
Love your channel! I’m a new reseller and you’ve taught me so much! You should get into private mentoring :)
Thank you for your transparency. Reselling is just like any other business; sometimes you win, sometimes you lose. Thank you for always providing good material. I love your channel!
Another helpful video :)
That's really interesting and good info.
I'm a newish watcher so I'm working through your previous videos, but I'm wondering if you ever run across the fan clothing brand 'Her universe' brands and just never mention them. They aren't extremely high priced (I don't think I've seen anything over $75, though usually like 20s-50s) so I figured if you did find them they would end up in the donate piles.
I personally really like them specifically so im wondering how easily or not they are to find in huge lots (I'm currently waiting to join a buy sell trade group for the brand) or thrifting since I've only ever personally found them when they were in Kohls before hottopic bought the brand.
Wow! Those were quite the experiences! Glad you were able to find some good ones after all of that!! :)
Awesome as always, thank you
Great info!! Thank you for doing this video. I know you don't want to show the less exciting buys, but it would be nice to throw in a bad buy short story video every now and then just to keep things real for viewers. Maybe insert a bad buy into a good buy video?? You're doing a fantastic job and I appreciate all you do for the re-selling community. See you in August at Flip Con!
BTW..any good sales from the high dollar lost luggage/freight hauls so far?? I know you did have some lower end items also. Great vid!
I will do a follow up for sure!
I am a fellow UA-camr / Reseller and I appreciate your Videos - Good Stuff 😊😊😊
Great video, I think people needed to hear not everything is roses.
Videos made it appear that all pallets are great but that’s not true. This was a fair video for those starting out.
Thank you!
Thanks for sharing the truth about buying pallets.
Great tips, Ashley!
Thank you for the good info
I love the videos that you are telling your husband how good the items is. And he doesn’t believe you. And you laugh.
Thank you for this!
I couldn’t figure out who your husband reminded me of, just realised it’s a young Mickey Rourke. New subscriber, love the channel ❤️
I love your channel❤️❤️❤️
Thank you. ❤👏
How do you list a piece of clothing that has a tag showing a CA Prosition 65 warning? Do you include that in your description?
Tested Via Trading, with Cosmetics, got almost an entire box over 50% of expired product. Emailed them, got a BS answer. Never going to purchase from them again.
Thanks
Never heard of stash before
I bought a pallet of "nike return shoes, all new 50 pair" once online, got them.....all of them and I mean EVERY PAIR were fake, they were super cheap plastic and some of them didn't even have nike spelled right and of course it's as is so I really got screwed on that
Oh no!! A nightmare, I’m so sorry
I say the same thing, when I make a mistake ($$$), this is my FBA University tuition! Your husband is GREAT! He seems like an awesome partner in crime!
Thank you for your knowledge and information 😍 Could you link some of the FB Reseller Groups you belong to?? Thanks again,you're a 💎 GEM!!
Ashley, if you had to do it all over again, now knowing the high risk, would you buy liquidation or the like?
Thanks so much!
Definitely! It’s worth the risk if you can absorb the potential loss 🥰
TJ in full producer mode over there 😂😂
I have bought storage units. A very limited number were good the rest were awful. I lost thousands of dollars by buying units that looked like a good bet and they were awful. I lost almost 5k not including my time on one unit I bought. I paid over 3k for this unit that looked professionally packed and label all furniture professionally wrapped. Well the storage place must have taken over 5 units that failed to pay kept the boxes from the good unit and packed all these boxes with garage actually garbage. I found five different families info all from different address, ages, and even different countries. Not on thing had the same name. The names that were on the professional packaged boxes I could not find one thing that matched those names. I had bought bad units prior to that but this storage facility literally committed fraud and there was nothing I could do. But pay the dump fees and learned a very very expensive lesson. Dump fees are crazy high and this unit was almost 200 miles away each way. The sheer cost was just insane. These videos people post of look how much I made in a storage unit always crack me up cause most of the time it is NOT like that at all.
I used to resell. I have so much jewelry and hard goods. I live in Florida. I am gonna have to have a yard sale to get rid of all my stuff. Some of its good. But I will have to sell one piece at a time. Yuck.
If you can't liquidate it than I would just try harder to sell it. Worked out for me. My little tip.
When you search locally, are you using an auction site?
I’m slowly buying pellets but it’s so expensive if I mess I I lose a lot of money.
How do people research and find garage sales these days? Is there an app? How does this work - thanks! 😊
Ugh I'm so shy. But I definitely need to find some people too.
