Thank you so much for the ideas! Just a quick tip. I had to take a zoom class for my job when we all went into quarantine. It’s important to look at the camera lens versus yourself when making videos. That way it looks like you are looking at the person /your audience versus over to the side. It’s hard to do for sure! Hope that helps as you grow your UA-cam channel.😊
Although I mostly resell fashion close on Poshmark, I do always go to garage sales looking out for things like this. I learned a lot from this video. Thank you! 💛
An eclectic but excellent list! I was in the middle of looking up yo-yo's when I heard you say bird feathers.. lol. My favorite oddball eBay sales I remember were a deck of Tarot cards that sold for $80 and a recorded VHS tape with 90's movies/commercials on it sold for $25. There is literally a market for anything
Reselling since 2013 and I never knew about those YoYos ! Thank you and I subscribed ! Just wanted to mention on the discontinued beauty and perfume, they now have to be NEW / SEALED or you can get dinged and the item taken down. Enough dings you can get booted off for good.
I found out about older cosmetics when the deodorant I FINALLY found that worked was discontinued. I went right over to ebay to stock up. I'm from WI, our regional specialty is cheese. And brats. Probably not going to be able to make much on that, lol! I have good luck with vintage tooled leather belts. Not always worth a lot, but always sell.
Yo-yo’s, who’d a thunk it. I wish I’d known about the hair when I cut off all my pandemic hair. This was all great information. I’m not much of a hard goods seller but I wander through that area and I will pick things up from time to time so I will keep my eyes open for these things. Thank you!
I sold a vintage eyebrow pencil to a gal in Mexico. It cleared customs, but not local Mexico City. I did receive it back but it was opened and not in new condition any longer. Wary of Mexico now...
I have heard of similar experiences shipping internationally to certain countries. I personally haven’t had a problem with it, but I get why you would be wary.
I just subscribed! 🙂 I am new to reselling and never thought about these items to resource and sell. Talk about thinking outside the box! Haha! I will be on the hunt for sure!
yes i am in this situation with the discontinued beaty products. I am in australia and just bought 10 of my favorite eyeliners from the UK. australia just does not stock it any more
I just had the shock of finding a former favorite product I hadn’t treated myself to in a while was discontinued: Burt’s Bees Garden Tomato Toner. It smelled EXACTLY like fresh tomato vines from the garden, and worked well on my skin. It’s now 4X the original price. Hoping to find it in the wild.. Happy sourcing!! :)
New subscriber! I really enjoyed your video! I created a BOLO List in the notes on my cell phone so I can have handy with me while sourcing. Thanks so much for this info!
New sub here! This was so interesting, learned some new Bolo's! I live in Louisiana so I wonder if some of these Cajun brands will sell? I sold some old Avon perfume bottles for $150, and some discontinued KKW lipstick for $45
Loved your video! First time I have watched and you gave me several things to watch for. I am just starting to sale on eBay. So I am looking forward to your next video!! Thanks!! Have you been selling on eBay for long?
@@crowsthriftyfinds They are kinda spendy but good .I don't know how they resell Montana has a spice cake Alpine Touch it's basically MSG but it may do well .My sister buys some every visit .Costco sells it I think .Yucky winter weather .I love crows. I have a daily visitor he teases my dog .
@@twistedthrifterb6220 The blizzard is on it's way here, but moving kinda slow. School got cancelled here but we are yet to get the storm. Winter is definitely coming...

Peggy Lawton cookies. You can buy straight from their website but I bought from other places before I knew they sold them there. Some Polar beverages (raspberry lime yumm), Fluff, Poland Springs water to name a few. :)
Oh gosh. I love your ideas. So many UA-camrs are telling us resellers to "find a niche". That's hard for me. I love all things vintage, strange & pretty. This video breaths life back into the thrill of the hunt. Thank you!!! I'm subscribing, for sure.
Thank you so much for the kind words. I definitely have no limits to what I buy. You can make money off of too many different kinds of items to limit yourself. 😊
I’d double check with eBay to be sure, but my understanding is as long as it isn’t a bird that’s considered an endangered species it should be fine. Unless rules have changed and I am unaware. Since I only get a decent sized batch of parrot feathers over time I only sell them twice a year. Haven’t ever had an issue.
Search for bird feather laws to be sure about the ones you have. A quick eBay search showed about a 25% sell through rate, so it's probably not worth selling there.
I have UA-cam Premium and download videos to watch offline _(cuz l live where there is little-to-no cell service)_ Anyway, I downloaded this video and watched it last night. Today I got into a service area to re-watch and it said "Video Unavailable." _Was this video just pulled???_ 🤔🙄🤔🙄🤯
I'm originally from California and I loved the enchilada sauce by Sunvista... I am in colorado and don't have that here anywhere... someone from California please put those on ebay lol
Just to be sure I am giving accurate info, I double checked Ebay's cosmetics policy. You may not sell used cosmetics, but expired is fine so long as it is new. You do want to mention it's expired though so people know. Then there is always the risk that someone isn't happy with their makeup cause it isn't what it used to be. That would be the only risk I could identify. Take lots of pics. :)
Be very careful what you are selling and where you are selling, (overseas selling, under what heading ie; collectables) there are a lot of no no’s and you just mentioned a couple. eBay is very unforgiving and you could be permanently banned from the platform. For your information watch “bolo buddies” she will fill you in.
I’ll have to check that out. I have watched Bolo buddies before. Good channel. :) They even commented on one of my videos recently. Someone pointed out that discontinued beauty products have to be categorized as new now as a recent change ebay made, but I’m not sure what the second item would be. I could see maybe sending food overseas could have restrictions possibly…
This is the first time I've seen you and I have to ask why you don't look into the camera instead of watching yourself. Very off-putting. I quit going to a beautician because she would look at herself in the mirror while speaking to me. I couldn't stand it!

Thank you for the tip. I have been struggling with this. Still a newbie, but I am going to work on that for sure. :)
I needed this tip too! I always look so weird on camera! Thanks so much!
Constructive feedback is always so helpful!
I've been an eBay reseller for 27 years and I didn't know about most of these! Best video, loved it! I'm a new subscriber!
Thank you so much!! 😊

Totally true! I am constantly looking for those old 90’s vhs with tv recordings when I go to yard sales. :) Thanks for the kind words.
Good stuff!! Did not know about camper lights!
That's cool about the old employee shirts. I have some from an old department store that closed 10 years ago that I had never thought of selling. :)
Thank you. It’s great to have these eye-openers. Who would have thought.
Glad it was helpful!

Most of these I never thought of selling! Thanks.

Probably not, because cheese and brats are EVERYWHERE.

The yo yos were definitely a surprise for me too. Thanks so much for watching!!

You have to be careful sourcing yo-yo's ....the market's really up and down. Thank you. Good night. I'll be here all week.
LOL!!! Good one…
I found an old length of braided hair that reeked of mothballs in a box lot at an auction once. It sold REALLY well and totally creeped me out lol.
Lol I bet!!
Great video! I just subscribed because UA-cam recommended you. Thank you!
Thank you for watching! I'm glad youtube is recommending me to people. That's exciting. :)

Fluff!!!!
I can be your fluffernutter dealer. 🤣
Yes please! The “marshmallow spread” we have here is Not the same!
FLUFF!! That stuff is amazing!!!
With make up and hair coloring items, don't you have to keep in mind expiration dates? I haven't purchased things like this due to things expiring.
As far as I know you are allowed to sell them, but you would want to mention that it’s expired clearly in the title/description so people know.

I’ve been scared to list pheasant feathers on eBay thinking they might suspend me. Is it safe to sell any kind of feather?
I’d double check with eBay to be sure, but my understanding is as long as it isn’t a bird that’s considered an endangered species it should be fine. Unless rules have changed and I am unaware. Since I only get a decent sized batch of parrot feathers over time I only sell them twice a year. Haven’t ever had an issue.

I can now see your video....Too weird!
BTW- I liked the information you shared. Very helpful! Will watch more of your videos!
Vintage beauty products for props, wow. I am not going to pass those up anymore.
If they’re inexpensive to buy, it can be a good thing to have a few on hand. :)
Can we meet Ceasar ?
Yes, I’ll bring him out to say hello sometime. :)

Beautiful video ◕‿↼ I love it!!! ❤️
Thank you so much ❤️˘◡˘❤️
Thanks for watching! I appreciate your support!
@@crowsthriftyfinds You are welcome 🙏
Are you located in WI?
Nope. But not too too far away. I’m in eastern North Dakota.
I buy a discontinued perfume and It's kinda pricy and hard to find
❤
Just sold a McDonald's employee hat to Brazil.
Nice!
Great content; a great list of items to now look for that I didn’t realize were bolos! I’d love to meet Caesar, too! I’m a new sub.
I’ll get him in a future video for sure. :)
Are they soecail kinds of yo-yo ?
It’s not all yo yos. Yomega is the big one, but there’s also Tom Kuhn, some rare Duncan’s. Older metal yo yos sell well also.
And cesar its bold now 😅😅 jk
