My Biggest Gamble: The Riskiest Purchase in My Reselling Journey

  • I am not usually a huge risk taker in my reselling career. I'm all about calculated risk and minimizing my chances of losing money (while making the most money) on a flip. Sometimes logic goes out the window and I make a buy that may bite me in the butt 🫣

    I just wanted to say how much I love how transparent you are about the problems and challenges of being a reseller, but always in an upbeat way. You make it all seem manageable! And you look fantastic! Whatever you are doing for your health, it is working!

    Since I am a birder as well as a reseller, your Zeiss story was intriguing! Yes, I have sent binoculars off to be refurbished and it was only about $80 plus shipping. Zeiss is a great company and that is such a good idea to have them refurbished yourselves. I would have totally spent $250.

      This means a lot coming from you 🐦 thank you!! I hope I get the same quote but even if it's a little more I'm sure it'll be worth it in the end 😉

    We put over half of our store on 25% Markdown and also got the most ridiculous offers. We sold only a few things on the markdown.

      People assume we are desperate when we do a big sale like that 🤦

    Love the chatty video's 😊. I did find out that I have 2 liquidation centers near me but haven't been yet. I am concentrating on listing the items I have and then I need to organise my office so that it's a complete ebay room. Take the photo station out of my kitchen and not have my profit pile on the dining room table 😊. I seem to be gravitating towards quality leather items, handbags, shoes etc. But sell a range of things.

    Just when I began reselling last year I bought a lot of plush toys my per unit cost was about $.50 one of the toys turned out to be a rare angry bird that sells for $450 just like you I got a whole bunch of messages of people telling me how this is not worth more than $50 and they're willing to take it off my hands. I have ignored them and waited turned out someone from Turkey bought it for $315 with shipping their price came out to be almost 500 I decided to take price because of international shipping or returns so it's guaranteed money.

    • @Preacherski
      @Preacherski 4 місяці тому

      What I'm saying is that if you get that many messages that quick you obviously have something good and people are just trying to play you

    • @desertsellers
      @desertsellers  4 місяці тому +1

      So true!! I could have probably still sold them as is for $1k-$1300 but I figured I might as well try and refurbish them for the sake of profit, and quality. Someone will be much happier buying them in better condition 😁

    • @Preacherski
      @Preacherski 4 місяці тому

      @@desertsellers oh yes I wasn't trying to say don't ship them to be refurbished I don't think it will cost you that much and he will bring up the price by a lot. Also it's a great learning experience for the future.

    Do you find your bins carry a lot of knock off products that are made in China? Do you avoid these and try to stick to name brands or do you just check comps?

    • @desertsellers
      @desertsellers  4 місяці тому +1

      100%!! I avoid the China stuff. However there are still knock offs of the name brand stuff so just really look things over to make sure they look legit. A good friend of mine said if the brand looks like someone took the alphabet, chewed it up, and spit it back out, it's not for you 🤣🤣🤣
