A small haul of denim I bought on Craigslist, plus some live research on Ebay / sourcing tutorial. Someone please mail me some vaccine so I don't have to meet people at their houses anymore.

Realizing you missed some things. You can easily read the back of Levi's tags to determine date, the 9 series and 512 vintage Levi's are basically gold and I rarely sell for less than 100, the tiny (24,25,26) size 550 sell easily for 60+, and vintage chunky RL polo mens oversized sweaters are an easy $60 every single time to girls.
Ha! My 560’s sold on Poshmark while I was watching this video! Thanks for the info!
That's awesome, glad to hear it.
Thank you for the info about the Levi's 560s! I found two 560's and they both sold within a few hours of listing for great prices. Thank you for all the knowledge you share with us!
That's awesome, congratulations.
Thanks for the info. One of my most fav resellers to watch.
Thanks very much
Just found your channel and it gave me the little extra boost to get into men’s clothing, I have previously been hesitant because lack of knowledge. So thanks! Ah! You are from San Diego! I have only been there once for 2 days but I will always remember stepping out of the airport doors and finally knowing what perfect weather feels like 🥰 (I live in Atlanta, GA...landlocked and humid hot!)
Welcome to menswear. I think you'll find it's significantly simpler than women's clothing. Shouldn't be too hard an adjustment for you. And yeah, San Diego tends to be close to perfect. I'm from here so I take it for granted.
Really appreciate the style and straightforwardness of these videos
Thanks, glad you like them. Hope they're helpful.
Those levis are 90s early
Shrink to fit 501xx means the pair of jeans will shrink at least 1 inch in the waist and about 2 inches in the length. Those measurements applied to 501s from the 70s. They may still apply.
Thank you Sally.
Thanks wanted to put more men's jeans in my closet since what sold mostly was men's shoes now I know what brand to get
"Unto You" is my most favorite method of information distribution...especially when said with a hint of droll.
Lovely page of intelligent and helpful content. Thank you for taking the time.
Cheers
Thanks unto you, Suzanne.
@@ThriftALife Awww...and now you've gone and made my evening up here in Long Beach which is not easy to do what will all the moored, bored monarchs and formerly Formula One drivers competing for some similar coveted mention😉.
Hmmm... See...
I was trying to have my note back to you mirror the droll in a sort of Pas De SuxToBeVous aimed perfectly at self. It was fantastic in my head - And now in actually reading my wit, it feels way more vaguely mocking and bitchy which is seriously disappointing. This entire business of relearning how to talk like an adult without sounding like an asshole - even when you are one - is gonna take some work I guess, possibly a weekend seminar at The Learning Annex. In the meantime, please assign to me a voice which comes with a "She's a funny girl"...chuckle in response included.
@@suzannemarker9896 😂🖐✌👊
I get your humor - we sound very much alike! Miss-understood lol
I FINALLY found a pair of Levi's 560s on the rack at one of my thrift stores. This video has officially paid off! Thank you for these videos!!!
Congrats, glad it's helping.
@@ThriftALife I went in to a Goodwill Friday night, and found three pair of size 50x34 back to back. I picked up three pair of 560 and two pair of high end shoes for $24. You're one of my favorite resellers because you talk about relevant sales, and brands I find in thrift shops now that I know to look for them. Thanks again!
@@bigggworm1592 Good finds, congrats.
Great video, after watching this I finally started paying attention to all the jeans I've been walking aimlessly by, and found a beautiful pair of silvertabs, which I listed for $149. I paid $1. Big thanks.
Excellent video with great information and a fantastic coffee cup.
Thanks for putting this up. I have a little booth at my local indoor flea market and this actually gave me some insight on do's and don'ts.
Really appreciate the info.
Thanks for watching, Deb. Hope it helps you out.
Great video! Thanks for sharing your knowledge!
Thank you for the info wiskering & marbling difference
Thank you for the explanation of whiskering. A lister added it to a listing of mine recently and I had no idea.
Your showing size 38 there and those tend to just sit for quite awhile. Also the 501XX sell amazingly well mine happens to be from 1992 that i found in the bins :)
One thing I have had good luck with on Ralph Lauren: items with the Big Pony Logo. For some reason they sell well for me. And if it’s a 3x or bigger. They jump off the shelves. Those jersey style shirts with the #3 on the sleeve also move for me. Those are the only RL I buy. They are bread and butter items for me. Thanks for the great vid.
30 seconds in and you’ve revealed something unto me lmao! Subscribed!
Welcome, Trina.
Just subbed. New reseller soon . Keep chickening out . Love your demeanor. Quiet, helpful, to the point . . . oh and lots of knowledge packed in a short time TFS ✌
Thanks Joyce. Don't be afraid to take the plunge. Start with Poshmark if you're intimidated. Couldn't be easier as far as clothing selling goes.
I like the denim jacket, great find! Found a pair of Brioni pants today and thought of you!
Sweet, congrats on the score
Big help! I want to echo what someone else about the Silver Tab Levis you mentioned in another video, I tried to be calm when I found a pair at a tiny thrift store in my area. I would probably get more Wranglers if I could get them for $1-2 but otherwise I leave them for someone else. Thank-you so much, your recommendations have made me look more closely at brands that I didn't recognize previously.
I just started selling more men’s clothes lately and discovered your videos. Thanks for some great information. New subscriber.
Thanks Diana, hope my channel can help you out
I'm really glad I found this channel very interesting
Thanks Benny, welcome
Thank you so much. I love your way of teaching. Learning so much.
Great videos just ran across you today thanks for the information and brands. I just recently got into flipping jeans and am really enjoying it and has been going good
Awesome Jesse, congrats. Glad to have you on the channel.
My husband only really likes Levi’s 517 and I’ve not been able to ever find them on eBay - you’re right that certain jeans go for bigger bucks.
Had a RL blazer, never could sell it. So I removed labels, buttons, and the breast patch. Sold those for MORE than I was asking for the jacket complete....
I've picked up several pair of 560 and silver tab Jeans from your info. They sold quickly. 🙂
The black 560 Levi's are my husband's size and length. He would totally buy them.
I like how you research your item. Good videos, thanks.
Thanks for watching, Nicholas.
Really appreciate all the teaching on how to do eBay. Do you run sales? Thank you!
Dude, I just started watching you. So freaking informative! I love 💘 it! Keep up the great work
Wrangler George straight line also sells
I used to wear nothing but 560's. I never would have guessed they would be the most popular now.
I have subscribed to your channel because you have a lot of great information. Thank you
Love your videos! They are so informative. I live in the suburbs of Orlando in a what-used-to-be country town, and is now more like a mini city everyone is moving to. I pick up a lot of Disney accessories that sell well. I don't see any brands you mention on your BOLO videos at my thrift store. Do you have any brands you can think of for a city like mine? Thanks.
Back in the 70's and 80's we use to buy our Levi jeans and wash them in hot water so they would shrink to fit. I learn this the hard way. My first pair, I tried them on and they fit nice. I took them home and wash them for the first time and I had to give them to my little brother, because they shrunk way too much. My next jeans I had to buy them a lit big, so they could shrink to fit.
Good info and strategies in this one. Also good to see you finding new and possibly fruitful into the future ways of sourcing!
Thanks, yeah, it's been a challenge
I like your videos. You get right to the info, without the need to blow up your ego.
Great Pick up! Love your knowledge and your show all together.
Nice Job! I learned more on this one video than I have for weeks of researching! I'm a newbie and still on learning curve. Thx.
Oh thanks Velia. I have a video specifically for new clothing sellers coming out soon.
I found some levis 501xx at good will it had the color of the day ticket and it was 8.99 with half off so i got like 5 pairs of levis 501xx and others for $4.50 each and there all in good condition
i buy those made in usa wrangler or rustler jeans all the time. i sell them for 20-35 bucks easy
Someone recommended your channel to me because we have very similar reselling styles. A few minutes in and I've already learned something from you. Levis 560s 😮 How did I miss that crazy sell through rate?!?
Cool, welcome. Don't feel too bad. A friend of mine had to tell me about 560s after four years of flipping clothes. My just desserts for refusing to sell pants for a while.
Very informative . What size is more saleable . I’m just starting to look for men’s jeans inspired by your videos .
Bigger sizes generally sell better than smaller ones, as a rule of thumb for all of men's clothing.
@@ThriftALife I appreciate you thanks again
Bought a bunch of pants that fit nice, but later realized idk what exactly fits (poor choices) ended up with pants I never even wore. I got like 3 pairs with tags still on them, others wore once or twice. got older and now it's impossible to fit in them. pants and shirts never fit me right, always too tight or too big.
Those 501s are sweet. Some distressing is good.
Great videos!
FOR ALL PEOPLE: put the speed on 2.0
Yesss!! I would love to know how you get the sell through. I used to use the app completely and swore by it. But now other than dividing the actives by the solds. I dont know an easier way..
Divide solds by actives, multiply by 100 to get percentage. There are other ways to do it but that's the simplest and you can often just eyeball it.
@@ThriftALife I've been adding sold to active, then dividing, since the sold are previously active ... throw me some logic? You're a great teacher! It's wonderful how different ppl offer different surprises! It's crazy how much details there are to learn in reselling! I've been thrifty my whole life but reselling since 2012 and learning daily since I started. Knowledge is addictive stuff!
I really like your channel :)
The day after I saw the other levis video I walk into a thrift store and find some 560 and a pair of silvertabs 😆
Awesome, congrats
Hey Matt! Another great video! I sell jeans but did not know 560’s do the best. Can you share your eBay store? I would like to see how you take pictures of your jeans? Thanks!
Thanks, appreciate that. I'm currently not disclosing my ebay store just because when people look at your listings and don't buy anything it runs down your sellthrough rate, which the ebay algorithm doesn't like. My sales would likely take a dip.
I take a photo of the jeans folded once lengthwise and draped over the bottom of a hanger, sort of looks like a flat lay. Then I do one full front, one full back, one of the front pocket area, one of the back pocket area, one of the fly, all the tags, and both ankles on the back.
The 560s comfort fit sell good due to being discontinued. Automatic pick up. thanks for the vid
Thanks for watching
Second video of yours to watch. Great useful content to help me learn about men’s brands! Subscribed! Also, irrelevant side note: I like your hair longer. And, I don’t usually like longer hair on men. Not that my opinion matters, just throwing it out there. ~ signed: happily married 40 something woman. Lol
Thanks for watching my vids. And for the compliment. I like the longer hair as well, especially how it migrates straight into my eyes while I'm trying to work.
Can't speak for mens but the fit changed for women's jeans when levis moved production out of the US. So vintage or not there's a demand from those of us that remember the old jeans. If memory serves (I worked for them once upon a time) it was somewhere around 2003 when they switched to overseas.
Lots of fashion guys still vocally furious at Levis for making 501s a cotton blend. Strong opinions all around.
Hi. I'm not sure if you can help me. I found a pair of 540s at the thrift store in excellent condition. Leather tag and everything. Didn't know they were considered vintage. Do you have some sort of guide in regards to how to price such items?
Hey, I don't have a pricing guide, but shouldn't be too hard to find comps on ebay. Search solds, search actives, decide whether you want to price higher on the spectrum to get more money or price lower on the spectrum to get less money faster.
I like your videos I have found stuff you talked about
Super knowledgeable man! You put me on to the Levi's Silvertab and I found a pair! Also now really focusing on STR thanks to you! New subbie here...BTW Sure you get this a lot-your eyes are captivating.
Thanks, glad to help. I hear it sometimes but don't mind hearing it.
I've got a lot of old dental jeans that I would like to sell. Thanks
I also have 2 pairs of Wrangler 20X, they've been sitting in my store for months now. Jeans dont sell well for me, I have 50 pairs of jeans not moving at all, and priced low.
Where are your jeans available for sale (platform)?
@@erikm9873 Hello, they're on eBay @glammapussmall.
Thanks for posting you really know your jeans!
Thanks, appreciate that
I live in San Diego too and the thrift store rack up the prices in Levi’s and other things lol
It's so stupid. The smaller chains aren't as bad as GW and SA.
Hey quick question do the Levi 560s in shorts sell well for you? I checked it was all over the place...I may get a few any way spring and summer are fast approaching again love your channel❤️
Never picked them up. Sellthrough is much lower than the full length jeans. Worth a shot if you can get them cheap.
@@ThriftALife Thanks! Have a great week!
@@jjnyc4610 You too
Great Video thanks. "George Strait" Wrangler Jeans and Button Downs sell Quick.
Is it vintage Levi’s only? Or do the modern levis sell well too if they’re the sale model? I.e. vintage 550 vs modern 550, vintage 501 vs modern 501 etc
Hey man, I really enjoy your content. I’ve been getting educated watching it lately and I appciate the time and effort you put into them. I have a questions about some Levi XX 550 jeans 501 on the button. I’m not sure how old they are or what they are worth was holding you could maybe help me identify how old they are? If so let me know what I can do to get in contact with you. Thank you!!!
Hey Tommy, I'm not an expert at all. Unfortunately can't help much on that front. Levi's is a well documented brand though, one of the most sought after vintage brands. There is surely a guide somewhere online.
@@ThriftALife thank you for your reply.
The really old vintage $$$ Levi's have a big E in Levi's, it also has red thread along the seam if you turn them inside out. There are a few things like these that set them apart. If you find these, regardless of their condition, they could be in heavily worn, and still worth $1500-2,000
Be careful buying wrangler brand. There is a cheaper walmart brand and then the "cowboy" wrangler brand with the leather logo sewn in on the back. The cowboy wrangler jeans are thick, not flimsy at all. They are comparable to cinch/ariat etc.
In your opinion, are levis 560 jeans distressed/ripped as desirable as non-distressed? I don't want to pick up the wrong style. Thanks!
Distressing could diminish sale price and speed of sale just slightly but I would still pick them up. In fact I just bought some distressed 560s.
HEY I HAVE A QUESTION; DO YOU ALL THINK DIRTY JEANS SEELL AS WELL. NOT HEAVY DIRTY JEANS BUT ENOUGH TO SEE, DO YOU THINK THEY AS WELL DO A GOOD JOB? NOT ALL JEANS ARE IN PERFECT CONDITION! SO IM TRYING TO FIGURE OUT IF THEY LOOSE VALUE?
I love fasting. Gives you tons of energy once you make it past the starving feel like your going to puke feeling. Great for your body.
Going to scour the house for 560’s then look this weekend lol. ;)
its very helpful, thank you !
Just found you videos. You are awesome!
Thanks Denise, welcome
New sub. How do I find you on Ebay?
How do get in touch with you with an offer that we hope you can't refuse?
Thriftalife@gmail.com
What is the name of your eBay store?
"Shrink to fit" means it is older (pre 80's) and you would buy the Levis larger than would fit you and then wash them so they would shrink to your size. This was what you would buy before "prewashed" jeans. Interesting that I have been thrifting for decades for my own clothes, and I am like you eBay customers. I ignore Wranglers.
What is your ID on ebay and Posh?
We do have our Jeans pants Brand, with Good Quality and Affordable Prices, we need buyers in USA Market
my hero...just l;isted a 560 that I got for free off Offerup and I see the views are for real...!!!
Wow, good score
New subscriber and loving the content. Two levi's questions. 1) what do you think about the market for very large sizes like 44 to 52 waist, I've sold smaller sizes easily in the local market but it seems harder to sell the big ones? 2) on the large size levi's some have the size on the big patch on the back and some do not. My wife thinks the no size on big patch is for big women, but I don't really think so, any thoughts?
Big sizes should actually sell faster for you, not slower. Men's clothing in big and tall sizes tends to sell faster and for more money as a rule of thumb. Women's jeans can be identified by the depth of the front pockets. If you try to put your hand in them and they feel way too small, they're women's jeans.
I've sold several trashed ariat jeans for good money. It seems they bring more money the worse shape they are in.
Great video, thanks for sharing!
Thanks for watching
Are they still?
I see several 560 Levi men jean in eBay inexpensive...so what's up with that?
Someone is selling them cheap.
which men's levis sell the best?
560s
This was helpful...thanks
Hi I just found your channel how about Ralph Lauren green tag. Are those worth anything
Those are Lauren Ralph Lauren, which is a relatively low-end women's tag. Some of it's worth it. Especially the navy blazers with a big emblem on the chest.
Thank u I subscribe to your Chanel I’m a reseller u are great help thank u
Has anyone ever seen a Levi’s jean jacket red tag that only has a uppercase E on it? Trying to figure out if it’s a fake and I can’t find anything that explains this
I will check comments
shrink to fit means my waist is 30w u have to get 31 and legnth 2 inches longer to shrink to
Do you know.... is there a way to get those lines out of jeans? Wickedness I think it's called?
Whiskering? Not that I know of. A lot of people don't mind it though.
I just sold a pair of 560"s for $10. People are cheap, and I think I' gonna stop doing "best offer".
Best Offer is your friend, just don't accept offers that low. It's totally fine to stonewall lowballers if you do it politely.
@@ThriftALife It's tricky because I'm trying to see if I can increase sales by offering free shipping, so best offer may not work . For example, I have a pair of jeans listed for 18.99, and someone offered me $14.99, so it won't work as I will only be netting around $4.
How about women’s jeans I’m gonna check your channel
YOU ROCK!!!!
Great!
Those wranglers probably late 80 90s
Damn you to Hell. I promised myself I would never ever sell clothing again since I had so many issues back when I tried it. Now you revealed unto me that I was the issue. User error. I guess I am going to give it another go.
What is the theory really, If i don't try and get a view on this info someone else probably will? No respect for the knowledge of the business. Does this help us move on to other things? Confused about giving away information. It really does just hurt sellers in the long term, IMO. Happy to hear your thoughts.
Other UA-camrs before me who "disrespected the knowledge of the business" by "giving it away" allowed me to survive a layoff without having to move back in with my parents. And has given me a life as an autonomous adult. So I guess I am one of the sellers who was not hurt in the long term. Don't know what your motivations are for wanting to play gatekeeper for reselling but I frankly am not impressed by you trying to flash your badge like this.
Thank you so much for sharing with us. And, not being a gatekeeper!! I’ve been doing this for about three months and the learning curve is steep. I have been an emotional buyer (maybe all females are)? But, I appreciate the intel and the guidance. I am working long hours trying to figure this out and have listened to a lot of YT videos. Your videos are helpful and get right to the point. I’m going to regroup after watching just two of your videos. I thought getting to 400 items was the key. But, I’m at approximately 300 items and not much is selling. All that to say, your message is incredibly helpful to me and many others and I appreciate you sharing what you’ve learned!! Blessings, success and peace to you.

@@tiffanypletz871 Thank you, Tiffany. There are all sorts of ways to make money reselling. Those three hundred listings will still sell for you, just maybe not as quickly as you'd hope. Long tail selling is perfectly legitimate. For my money, focusing on sellthrough is just the most "worth it" way to run as a relatively small seller.
