I stumbled upon your videos just recently and I'm so pumped and hooked! I admire your incredible work ethic and family, i have been reselling for 2 years just part time and I'm going to be ramping up my game find a niche best advice ever........
The work and family ethics that you all follow daily is beyond impressive. Reminds me of that saying, “we do more by 10am than most people do all day.” I believe it’s the Marines.
It’s true! We only have a set amount of time each day. Gotta get things done!
I'm loving these videos - thanks for doing them..they're great!
Thanks for watching!
Loved this video, Carrie! Its great to see your process and also how your family spends the weekend together. 🥰
So glad! ❤️
I like his process of taking the pictures of the jeans. Great quality and consistency! Nicely shown.
Thank you!
Been absolutely loving all of your videos lately!! Your photo setup is really cool and efficient! Love to see it!
Thank you for watching!! ❤️
@@carrieathome What are the dimensions of your photo setup?
@@EntreprenuerFreedomLifestyle I believe it’s 5x5!
Your listing speed has me absolutely jealous.
I agree. I am definitely doing something wrong. 40 in 50 minutes is crazy!
@@kevinbrown1246 I know, right?! My jaw dropped and I paused after I saw this to see if she has videos on listing efficiently and quickly. I really need to speed it up!
@@kevinbrown1246 how exactly are you able to do 40 in 50 min??
@@kevinbrown1246We will get there. I havent even made my fiest sale yet. One day it will be so easy we can do it in our sleep. Lol😂 👍
@@kevinbrown1246yes, wondering if everyone would benefit from you doing a listing session to show exactly how you do it. I have been reselling for two years and the fastest I can do one listing is realistically 5 min 😂
I like how you guys work together. Also, both being able to source product is huge. My wife and I work in a similar way just in the trading card space. Awesome video!
Thank you and thank you for watching! Both of sourcing unlocks untapped potential 😄
What a great setup, and system you guys have going on
I love the little pop ups! Haha 9:06 "They're not." 🤣 I also love the cat staring moment! Just subscribed! ♥♥
Thank you!! 😊
Fantastic process I found you from watching techs live with you. Great stuff 🤘🏼
Thank you! 😄
Thanks! Like seeing the brands!
Thank you for that sort button tip! Didnt know about that. I need to get better on custom skus. Im fairly small so it hasnt been a big issue yet.
like these videos. getting lots of details/tips in
Efficiency to the max
New subscriber . I’m disabled and am gonna try this on a small scale just to buy life’s little luxuries. I’m learning lots thanks. BTW your cat is soooo cute.
Thank you and welcome! 😸
Hi great to show your system thanks
I see you stuntin on us with the center swoosh. Love the content! Also loved the pocket check for men’s and women’s jeans.
lol thank you! Love my center swoosh. It’s just aesthetically pleasing ☺️
I have never done well with selling pants. Maybe I need to revisit that.
Love your slanted photo board.
I know your parents are proud of y’all!
💪😎 thanks for being so diligent on the information .
Thank you for sharing! You guys have a great system, and make a good team. ❤
Thanks for watching!
100% on positivity. Thank you.
A ton of good finds but the Patagonia fleece was a fantastic pick.
I just found your channel. Very impressive!
Welcome!
Both of you are correct about Savers, prices are high but can find NWT if you are lucky on clothing. Thank you for going through jeans, I am not familiar with jeans and which brands are good or not.
Great video!
Love your content. You make me think I can do this. 😊
Thank you for watching! Be very mindful with how you operate reselling and you can do it!
Loved the video!!
Glad you liked it!!
Thank you for the insight into your daily routine! I was wondering if you could do a video just showing your listing process step by step. 😊 Thank you!
outstanding video- the cat was a plus-
Thanks for watching!
Awesome video again!!! So helpful 😊 to others 🙌🏻 Since jeans are a very competitive niche do you need to use a high % promoted ?
Thank you for watching! I promote at an average of 7%
@@carrieathome ok this make sense because suggest on jeans is like 13-15% 🤯
Great video can you show us how to make perfect listing
Great video. Keep it going 🔥🔥
Appreciate it!
You guys Rock!
Wow impressed by speed of photos before taken
Hey guys, great job. New subscriber here. Hey I have a question you guys are such an inspiration I’m a part-time reseller. I was just wondering do y’all steam your clothes before taking pictures or do you dry your clothes and straight from the dryer you hang them up and then go straight to taking photos?
Welcome! Since we sell pants mainly, we’ve found that folding the items helps keep them from getting weird wrinkles in them. They sit folded in the queue for at least a day so the pressure of other jeans just does it’s magic lol 🤷♀️
I caught the rick and morty "show what you got reference" 😂 love it
Yessss! So happy you caught that 😂
9:08 “There’re not” 😂😂😂😂😂😂 that was sooo funny
Glad you liked that 😂
Just found your channel and subscribed. Inpressive! How many active listings do you have in your store, and do you crosspost to any other platforms?
Welcome! We’re hovering around 1800 items and we only post on ebay
new subscriber! Awesome video! wish my wife was in on this like you two are!
Welcome! And hey, I used to not be in on it with Kyle at first. It took time and trust because it definitely is risky!
GD, that's a fast photo and bag process!
It sure is! Took a couple years of tweaking things and practice for Kyle to get to his speed
Love your content! How are you holding your photo backdrop up? I downsized my office space and now need something flatter similar to your setup.
Thank you! We built it out of 2x4s and a big sheet of plywood. It’s definitely not pretty lol
I never knew you could sort by custom sku- thanks so much!!
I learned about it in the ebay group I’m in and it’s literally life changing!
@@carrieathome I write out every sku on paper and have to space them enough so I can fit them in- I knew a better way existed so thanks for sharing!
thanks!
Totally enjoyed this video! Also, I love your necklace where is it from?
Thank you! I believe I got it off of Amazon. It’s a gold plated minimal pendant necklace. I never take it off!
👖👖👖New Sub here!!👖👖 Found you through another channel that suggested you. I’m Midwest too, homeschool and sell only shoes. I have been reselling since 2009 and have sold just about everything under the Sun. I prefer shoes bc my ASP is higher, I did like selling jeans. That was my second favorite. I will watch your content for sure. Maybe learn new strategies along the way.
Welcome! Thanks for watching!
Thanks for sharing! A well-oiled machine. I hope i get there someday. I am so ....slow. 😊
We started out slow too 😊 it just takes daily improvements and practice!
@@carrieathome thank you! 💕
Do you have a video that highlights how your inventory system works?
Also, when your husband hands you a white package to label, how do you know which one is inside? Is that just because both of you have sorted by your custom SKU on your screens. Ever had any mix ups. And I’m assuming the custom SKU has something to do with your inventory system lol I find it fascinating when resellers are so organized and it is very inspirational. Think it’s much easier with clothes because of the way you can fold them and put them in the filing boxes. I’ve got to come up with a system for my hard goods.
Thank you.
Edit to add I just watched one of your other videos and saw a little bit of writing going on packages so I think I got it figured :) Anyways, I’m definitely going to start watching your videos, although I don’t do much clothing, I think your organization is amazing and I am very interested!
Thank you for watching! And yes, you got it, he writes down the numbers 😊
Great video. New to your channel. Would like to flip full time…maybe one day. We are not full time level yet but it’s a great side hustle for us. Pays for my wife’s van and then some.
That’s how it started for us- as a side hustle 😊 you’ve got this!
I love the listing and speed! I'm trying to do better. What type of computer is that? I currently work from a laptop.
It’s a custom built gaming pc, really any computer will work!
I love your monitor wallpaper! If you don’t mind sharing, where did you get it? Also, I concur with everyone-awesome content! It is motivation to keep going.
I use Wallpaper Engine on Steam (it’s a computer app) I’ve had this wallpaper for years now! I love it
That is impressive!
Thank you!
Hi there, excellent video! Wondering, do you launder every item or only the obviously dirty ones? Thanks!
Thanks! We wash most our items if there is a smell, grime, or stains. 👍
Could you possible do a video on how you do returns and do you ship to USA or internationally?
You mentioned its Saturday. Do you guys maintain a draft bank or are you actively doing your 4 hour eBay day 7 days a week? Also, I respect the fact that you have second coffee in a lot of your videos. We have young kids too and I'm already on second coffee at 6:31am. Its possible that I had 3rd and 4th coffee yesterday.
If we know we’re going to have an eventful weekend, we’ll plan ahead for it and draft for it. Other than that, we are most likely to not source on Sundays and only a little on Saturday. We don’t usually do packages on Saturday unless there’s already a lot. But we definitely photo and list on the weekends.
Im on track to make around the same amount, but I have a lot of improvements to make. I have to improve my inventory system and consistency in a structured schedule. Thanks for this video 💡✅
I like how you fold the items before paying
Great video, definitely look forward to watching all your videos. Good job guys and good luck this year! 🎯🏆
That’s killer! 🤘 It’s refreshing to hear someone who’s on track with us to say this. I get too many people saying this is impossible lol let’s gooooo!
@@carrieathome definitely, just have to do some fine tuning in my processes. It makes sense, I hear it as well and I can attribute it to when I was broke, the idea of making 100k was crazy, then I remember a reseller said he sold 200k in one year and I saw it as a possibility but internally and subconsciously I didnt really believe it, I thought it was insane to make that much through ebay. I think most people just choose to not believe its possible, therefore they dont put the necessary effort to get the result. Now I see the world and my potential differently, and I'm sure you guys do as well. Money is not everything but experiencing this success allows us to do more with our time and with our loved one's. I wrote this in hopes that it helps a random person to strive to get out of that self-imposed ceiling. 2024 is going to be sick LFG 🏂
I like your Nike sweatshirt the double swoosh never seen that before us it rare vintage be blessed
Glad i found your channel. I've been seriously considering going the Denim only route ! Do you still only do jeans?
We focus on bottoms now but still heavily jeans :)
@@carrieathome very cool! Yeah don't let profit stay on the shelf even if it's not denim.
I LOVE your videos! Quick question. When you're listing, how do you know which photos go with which listings. Are the photos identified with the sku somehow and how do you know the description of each item? I would get all mixed up!
Thank you! We take a photo of the sku number after we photo the item that way the number and item photos stick together. Then when I make my listing, I have the sku number photo right there to input into the listing :)
Great video! Thanks for sharing! May I ask the size of your backdrop (plywood under the fleece blanket)?
It’s about 5ftx5ft 😊
Which brands did you start with? How do you know what brands/sizes will sell the best great video guys and ty for the tips!!!
I’ll make a video one day!
Go get em Carrie
I wish you would do a how you list on eBay and submit all listings at one time. I am always wanting to list faster, but you are a speed demon! Great work and video!!
I’ll make a video!
@@carrieathome That would be awesome!!
Nice systems and a very well put together video. Have you guys thought about just looking for the Patagonia and made in USA Nike vintage items you found and just leave the other pile at the stores? Then spending time to go to more stores and find 7 more items like the three bangers you found. This would then be a $1000 profit day. I know it is easy to say that in the comments versus real life but just a thought? Then you could lower your work load and make more by doing less. This would also eliminate death pile or very low profit items in your store.
That's definitely a good thought about work load and profit margin balance. In our main category, jeans, there aren't as many banger items out there like the Patagonia or vintage nike. So we rely on the consistency that jeans brings in every day to pay our bills and view the bangers as bonus items at this point. 😊
I hope you guys find a nice pile of vintage Ed Hardy jeans on your next purchase venture.
@@chaicharin that would be killer 😎
Just discovered your channel and loving your content.I take photos with a Samsung Galaxy as well and always have issues capturing the correct shade of blue when photographing jeans.Do you guys have a hack for that or am I just being too picky with my photos?
If you shoot in pro mode, you should have options pop up to change ISO and such. That’s what we did to get a generally balanced color that represented the jeans. Haven’t had any complaints about coloring discrepancies so far!
Can you do a video on key words on title to generate sales, if you do? Also, what is your EBay store so that I can see the setup. We have going on 2000 items list upload of 20 items a day with no sales
That’s a good idea!
I’m new, So happy I found this channel, it has great content and fun at the same time. I would love to purchase some jeans, what is your eBay store name? Keep making these videos
Welcome!!
Do you only sell jeans in your store?
love your channel . i started evay reselling myself. btw you literally look like a blonde jess conte 😮😍😍😍 you guys have very similar features. are you australian too?
Amazing! I don’t think I have any Australian in me, but that’s cool to see the similarities!
great video, what kind of board is behind the blanket/
It’s a large sheet of plywood :)
When you are shipping have you input all the shipping weight etc or do you input info after the sale? Noticed you do a lot of poly mailers I've switched to ground advantage for lot of things since the last padded flat rate bump. Sometimes I can ship jeans for just $6 now, was always min $8.30 being over the 1lb mark when I used padded flate rate most of the time.
We have the weight and size preloaded because we just sell the same stuff everyday :)
Do you guys have a video on your organization system -- i have never seen such a well organized system for ebay sellers!!
Sure thing! I learned it from Daily Refinement on UA-cam :)
thanks i will check that out! appreciate the reply@@carrieathome
If you're not living in Goodwill you won't find enough to make this kind of money. All of the other thrifts pull it and mark it up. These tactics would work if you were the only flipper in your town and spent 6 hours a day shopping. I tried it, made 2k in my first two weeks, then everything that wasn't the cream of the crop just sat. And you can't find enough cream of the crop without..... Back to the beginning.
Fortunately, that’s not the case for us. We’ve got lots of thrifts in our area. Thanks for watching!
You have to make up in your mind that you’ll have to drive farther to source. It’s doable. Most jobs you have to work 8-12 hours so it’s no different if you’re trying to make more than a living. They’re not just getting lucky. It’s a lot of work
I see you Vamp! 😉
What type of fabric and backer board are u using for ur photo station- I’m trying to modify mine where it leans more and i don’t have to hang and can just lay onto board
A big sheet of plywood and a fleece blanket!
Can you link me to the lighting you use for your photo setup? I got some and they weren't bright enough
I just bought a set off of Amazon! Make sure you get 5000-5500k daylight bulbs. That’ll help with the brightness 👍
Hi watching you for the first time. Like the set up. Where do you get those plastic bags from? I really want some. Thanks ahead of time if you get a chance to answer back.
Thank you! The clear plastic polybags, I order a size 12”x18” off of Amazon. 😊
What bags do you use for packaging after photos?
12x15.5 clear bags :)
Is it possible to show your listing process from start to finish? Maybe the first couple of listings? 40 listings in less than an hour is insane. How do you do it? I struggle to get 15 done in an hour going at top speed.
Yea! I’ll make a video over it 😊
How do you match the correct photos with the SKU # and the right listing?
We photo the sku number right after the item so it stays together in the photos :)
Do you add anything to the fleece blanket to get the garments to stick to it like that? My clothes almost always slide off.
It’s just a fleece blanket that we use but our jeans are heavy enough to stay. The lighter weight stuff slides off so we have a hanger on a chain as backup 😊
What do you do when you get a multi quantity order? All the custom sku numbers in that order will be mixed up.
Nope! ebay keeps the multi order items together 👍
I love your videos but have noticed that you are not answering the question of your store name on ebay? Is this for privacy issues? Just curious, because a lot of us viewers would like to purchase your merch! Keep up the great work!
For now it's for privacy reasons. I'll probably share it later on. :)
@@carrieathomesmart. I wouldn’t share. People get jealous and cause problems..
So basically 100 grand in net proceeds that’s pretty good keep up the good works
He's so fast at the measuring!
Yes he is!
Attempting to resell jeans but it's been harder than anticipated because the prices where I live are way too high to make good profits. Anyone else have this issue? Shoes are still the main focus at the moment.
If shoes are working for you, keep going!
For savers, do you find that most of their jeans that would be profitable are $13-16? Thats what I see at my savers.
That's about the going rate at our stores too. With the coupon, we're looking at closer to $10-$12/item so we would like to see ASP for $30+.
Do you ever wash or iron any of you finds? And do you edit any of the pictures?
Wash yes, iron no, and edit photos no (besides the occasional rotation) :)
Do i need to have a store now to use custom sku ? I cant find that option anymore.
I don’t believe so. Maybe ebay is updating things on your end? My app has been reverting back and forth between the old and new version.
So you come back home, remove all tags before it goes to the washer and dryer. How do you remeber which is which?
Are you asking how do I know how much I spent on the item? If so, at this velocity, I don’t do line by line for cogs but an average cogs.
@@carrieathome that answers it thanks
I would love to see the break down of your figures and gross income to nett income (after costs, fees, postage). I have taken a look at your eBay listings but you don't have a shop (missing out on some great promotional tools).
Maybe I’ll do an end of year recap and breakdown. I have a Premium Store subscription. Is that what you mean by shop?
@@carrieathomeah... the across the atlantic differences... yes I mean store... when I went to your listings it wasn't showing a store subscription at all... it is now.
@@ribticklers very interesting
Your listing and packaging system looks like it’s based off Chris from Daily Refinement, correct?
Yup! I'm a graduate from him and Technsports :)
Pocket Tip !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
How do you do list 40 items in one hour???? 😮💨 Can you make a video on how you list so fast? Also, how many times a week do you source?
I ate the speed speed fruit! No but really, I’ll make a video some day about it!
@@carrieathome That is a fun series. I hope a second season comes out soon!
Agreed! Would love a how to post fast video. It takes me 8-11 min per item! Thank you 😊
Do you "sell similar" off your own items or use templates? Thanks.
@@kategarb I sell similar 😊
Do you price everything the same? Longest time for me is looking up prices, didnt see you doing that.
I sell off my own sold listings so the pricing is imported on each listing. I also sell a lot of similar items so no need to look up prices much these days
❤❤❤
Do you make a new coupon every day? If so is that coupon different than the coupon for returning customers?
Yea I make a new daily coupon and I have one private coupon that I send out to past buyers
@@carrieathome awesome! The daily coupon is golden! 💰
Maybe I missed it. What is your return rate like? I dred selling clothes due to buyers returning for the craziest reasons.
We fluctuate between 4-6% throughout the year
You must know your prices to list cold, that way no time lost looking up price to list item?
Yea! Since I sell most of the same things and my store economy is large, I can usually snag the price off an old listing. I do still look up prices on some odd ball items though.
Hi, can you link the storage bags you use?
I got your message on Instagram! I replied :)
