I love how she is trying to give people advice on what she buys and sells and what works for her and all the comments are either rude or giving her advice on her own business..
I appreciate this helpful video and wish you well!
Thanks :)
Thanks for the quick video. And for all those commenting about germs on stuffed animals, uh, there are germs on everything in this world, including new items as well. We live in a world of germs. It is up to the buyer to spray it down with Lysol. Stop hating on people trying to help recycle and give helpful information.
I have used a variety of strategies that stated to help me earn money on the web within hours but none of them actually did the trick. The good news is, my pal informed me about this money-making strategy at *MyOnlineSelling. Com* . I`m now a day-to-day earner of over hundred dollars! by selling prodcuts on ebay and amazon
I just love the fact that you straight to the point and very informative. Thank you for all the info. and have a Blessed Day
Thanks for watching
Thank you, you are wonderful to share all of this goodness 🙌💙
thanks
You are a great salesperson. Clear. Concise.
Excellent video
Loved the ending! Yes He does!
Stuffed animals carry germs especially when they are in thrift store settings
Haha best ending of a video everrrr.
Thanks for the information.
I really like your ending, on your video! Have a Blessed Day! and great video! Thanks, Rick
thanks
Well made video, right pace, no long intro
downbntout IKR, I hate when they babble on for 8-10 minutes before they get to the title subject!!!
I'm pretty sure they earn ad income if the vid is 10 minutes or something like that, which explains some of the hemming and hawing
To "E" and all those haters. WAKE UP!! she is recycling items that have came from China 1 time already,why not buy it used and save some money and for those who have never have had $14.33 cents in the bank account? then I say to them ,that this is AMERICA and all of YOU have a opportunity to be just as creative to make more money and feed your family. I collected aluminum windows from demolition sites all over my county for 1 year and made enough money to take my family on vacation. I praise this person for her tips and her success for a better life. These lessons of entrepreneurship are not taught in our middle schools and I can tell you that in Japan, business marketing is studied by the age of 12 years old. I worked for a man from Korea when I was 16 and he said you can be rich in America just by selling to everyone that has 5.00 in their pocket. His start up was 5K and 2 yrs later he sold his chain of stores for 2.5 million and all the products were under $5.00 ... lesson to be learned for all those who think it is not possible. FYi a very popular charity thrift store in my state made over 11.5 millions with 18 locations of just selling used products and I am sure the charity donation was just over the required minimum and the top of food chain admin salaries were fantastic! I PRAISE YOU " Hooked on Pickin'
thanks so much for the comment you rock!!!
Whilst we all know plenty of people who do it, advertising the fact that you are reselling from charity stores is one of the main reasons why they have started pricing their wares out of the reach of the people they were intended for. It is such a shame, to me, to see these stores forget who they're there to service by marking their prices so high that most people who NEED to shop there can no longer afford to. I don't know about the U.S, but that's how it's become here in Australia.
I agree with you 100%. Also, I have found in thrift stores & even yard/garage sales, that there are a lot items which you can buy cheaper brand new at a regular store. I think that is really bad when you can buy an item cheaper new at a regular store then at a "thrift" store or garage sale. Because of that, and them trying to sell things at prices that is way too much-- I rarely go to thrift stores & yard sales anymore!!
I've shopped in thrift stores all over the United States (I love thrift) and also volunteered in one in my home state for a couple months. Just the ability to look on Ebay or Amazon for prices has given thrift stores a better handle on how to price things, but they still price them at much less than you'd get on either of those sites. I find that the stores here are doing it to make cash for profit or toward non-profit programing. The goal isn't to make the merchandise "affordable" -- though it does tend to be very affordable. Please consider that these buying-selling strategies as noted in the video can well constitute "work" for many lower-income people, especially disabled people, who can't work a 9-5 job. Also it's a great job for stay-at-home mom's who need a little extra cash to support the household. When I did some of this myself, I found MUCH better sourcing prices at garage sales than at thrift stores. I didn't do this for long; it was more of a onesy-twosy hobby when I "happened upon" something I had a gut feeling about. If it was of extraordinary value, I informed the seller because I don't like to take advantage; plus I take pleasure in helping others and sharing *golden* secrets over going through the trouble of making a few extra bucks.
There are a few that still sell items for low prices. Goodwill on the other hand has hiked their prices to match those on eBay.
She's selling stuffed animals, board games and books... (There is an abundance of books due to 1/2 the country going digital and I would not consider old board games "essential"...) So, she's not really reselling essential things like basic clothes... which where I live, there is no shortage of (it's kind of embarassing the excess that the US has) clothing... our local thrift store puts more things directly in a dumpster out back then they do on their racks! AND they won't let you touch anything that they threw away! That's sad.
Same happening in some towns in UK, Found out that they send to rag sorters instead of selling a bit cheaper. One charity shop here used to have a discounted rail and you could pick up some good items, they were things that had been in the store for some time, head office told the assistants to take it down and send to rag collection if not sold in 3 months rather than discount!
you can bid on auctions at shopgoodwill and resell those items. By searching for good quality guitar brands, I find donated good guitars for $20-60 and can resell then in eBay for $90-160 with no real trouble. Barely used Nike or ASICS athletic shoes and other clothing items are there as well. If you do not have false pride about wearing used clothing, you can save a lot on sweaters, etc.
Thank you for these tips!
No problem
Good tips, thank you!
Shopping only on 50% off sale dates through each month HELPS EVERYONE. Not to mention the sales of certain color tags on a daily basis. Again beneficial to all who shop. That’s been the Goodwill standard here in Arizona 🌵🌵🌵♥️🙏🏻✌🏻
Thanks -great information!
thanks
Thanks for the heads up!
thanks
This video is why thrift stores are charging a shload these days.
Bunny Garrett huh this is true,this lady is lame 😒
It's nice to see somebody else dealing in products, not just clothes. Lots of low hanging fruit with products! Smaller margins but easy cheese!
Thank you for sharing
Have done great on stuffed animals even with no tags :) Ty
Great video 😉😉
I once sold a used puzzle for $90!
Great business woman
Is there a price tag mentioned on the products when you purchase them? If so do you remove them or scratch them while selling?
I like that you get right to the point. Too many people drivel on for the first 5 minutes of the UA-cam. Thanks!
Thank you
Sad to see the comments about " expensive charity store prices". I volunteer in a charity shop, and the demand for the services we provide to our local community just keeps increasing alarmingly. Many people choose not to learn how the money raised is allocated and how those clothes/ shoes/ homewares ' appear' in the store. Volunteers sort out the 'good, bad and just plain ugly' and clean, mark and display the items instore. What you don't see is the mountains of totally unusable, dirty or broken items of 'donated' goods....stuff most sensible people would discard of themselves :(. Here in Australia ( Elysia), we pay a fortune to dump the mountain of rubbish left in our bins. Our money ( unlike BigW, Kmart, or whoever else you care to name) goes back to support our needy in our community. We have crisis centres, ( male and female)..a food van providing meals to the homeless and disadvantaged, no-one is turned away from receiving support ( food and clothing). While people take advantage of our prices on-selling, I'm just grateful they bought from our store so we can do our "job'. Want to learn more?.....try volunteering !
FBA is like storage. If I can find stuff and sell that would be great.
Thank you for sharing!!! What is the best scanner?
i bought a generic bar code wireless scanner
You can use your phone. The eBay and Amazon app has a scanner feature
You have to be lucky as hell to ever find this kind of stuff in Texas!
Good job.
thanks
Thanks
Hello , I am wondering what you would sell the camera for ? And that is new correct ? Thanks for sharing your thoughts with us . Have a beautiful day !
sorry it already sold!
thanks for info
Ty
What kind of app do you use to check a product's value when you are at the thrift store?
The Amazon seller central app or the Ebay app
Humm I bought a really nice large masonic bible at a yard sale for $5
No way shes getting fifty dollars for that Mickey
Jay Mier right? I live how they say what they can get!!! How about telling us it’s still sitting on your shelf. Collecting dust!!
@@tamarakramer3106 i just sold a mogu stuffed plush for 50 on ebay, look itnup. And plushes may sit but Disney world plushes always sell and very well. But you can literally check ebay for sold items right now...
yes way, how much research have you done?
@@archean432 lots
@DabKitty sparkle Okay
Thanks for sharing this info. It has been VERY helpful!
I also have a channel that I'm changing and developing in to some very cool and different things!!
Cheers and have a great day!
I always gave to Goodwill. Years ago they used to collect non-working items then teach disabled men how to repair them: thus giving them a skill as well as supporting the company and helping needy ppl. Then I discovered volunteers grabbing the good items for themselves before processing them into the store. What to make of that?🙎
Bummer the biggest thing is that goodwill helps employ the needy
what program do you use (app) when you scan items for value?
I use this and here are videos to explain how to use the app
Amazon Seller app series:

Hi.
How is the shipping own on eBay or Amazon.
Without high cost to me?
I can't scan items such as stuffed animals unless the tags. Bar code I can't find. Any alternative apps to use. jewelry figurines how about them? Great video and I bookmarked you.
On the amazon app go to "add a product" and you can type in the title of the item and try and find
i could do that. Or my friend has a plan where we can scan the item and it will tell us what it is and if we can sell.
So FBA means fulfilled by Amazon? you send the stuff to them and they send you a check? do you have a shop on Amazon or EBay. Do you use paypal? I have a lot of inventory but don't know where to start?
i use paypal for ebay but amazon does a direct deposit into my business checking account
I believe you still do all the posting of items with photos, description, etc.
Lynn Beers I believe you have to create the ads but I'm not sure.
I understand Amazon is not a place to sell yardsale finds like cookie jars, cake plates, etc....just new, unused items.
Offer up is a great app to sell your junk.
Take really nice pics of ur items in a well lit area. Clean the items also
New puzzles not true! I used to sell used puzzles because I would assemble them and take a picture of the box with the assembled puzzle. Sells in ebay
I have about 4-5 new, sealed in box board games that Will Not move for me.
I look for previously sold ones & then price mine in the middle of that range.
I still have them. 😡
are you selling on amazon or ebay they will sell faster on amazon if you send to the warehouse check out my video:

Hooked on Pickin' Amazon FBA Seller But doesn't Amazon charge half or more of your earnings? What's the point if they keep the Lion's share of the money?
Polaroid came out w instant film, then kodak copied. Polaroid sued kodak and won so kodak had to quit producing the film and camera. U couldnt get it. My in laws got stuck w one. Kodak had to pull and destroy all stock and film. So other than sentimental reasons, kodak instant camera is dead in the water.
I can't sell puzzles! They just sit and shipping can be expensive if it's a big box. Advice?
watch sales rank or sell on Ebay and only sell new
Not a single thing I would want
Good thing God didn't make us all like you.
you would have to make sure you can still buy film for some cameras
yep
Put this on your list as well, vintage sealed software it sells like crazy if its sealed god knows what it will sell for vintage adobe for mac sells into the hundreds if not thousands
great thanks
You are very welcome
Yes I pulled an office softwear cd in box out of a dumpster, just for the heck of it I looked it up on eBay and 1 sold for $250, I listed mine it sold for $200, happy day, people would be surprised at the money you can find in dumpsters, and thrift store dumpsters, they often throw away better stuff than their selling in the store.
Thanks! I enjoy your videos! And yes, in the end- Jesus wins!!
thanks for watching
What does a 40 dollar bill look like?
Lol
"Masonic Bible" is an Oxymoron. I wouldn't even TOUCH one.
Melissa Helm My father was a 32° Mason, otherwise known as a Shriner...he was a curchgoer who carried and Studied a King James Version Bible!!!
And, btw, one of his best friends was a Black man, so don't go There either!
Pam H. High level masons are closet devil-worshippers
That symbol was for the Grange which is an organization of farmers. I know because my grandfather was a member and I was a member as a child.
Thanks I buy vintage clothes take them apartmandm down and make kids c9thees
Black people are also masons, dear @@pamh.5705
Who is going to buy the Masonic Bible ?
I've got 3 brand new, still in the original shrink wrap board games that nobody has shown Any interest in.
rslouis66 Thanks!
+rslouis66 I have that thought in my mind. Maybe a $10 gift card but ebay don't like sellers. However, maybe with your idea it might work. I price items up to 40% more. So that way the shipping. That is giving me an idea. You think the gift card might work. I like your idea and that is buzzing.
@@TraderRobin I've just stumbled on this again and once again wondered....how much did you increase your asking price because you added in these 'free with purchase' items?
@@TraderRobin So, basically, you're saying, if it doesn't sell, you just Give it away for no profit....
Of, course, we All love a deal, but I'm trying to supplement my income, not buy items to give away for free.
That's not "moving" an item....I might as well throw it in the trash as raise my expenses giving it away!
😞
In the end JESUS WINS! YES!
Where is she getting these 40 dollar bills?
When did the government start minting forty dollars bills?
What do you mean scan it?
I use an app to find the prices
You might get $50 for that Mickey but your not going to sell it very quickly. It's something a specific person will pay that much for so it will take time for that person to find it for sale! Board games sell pretty well but only for cheap so you would have to get it at the thrift store very cheap to be able to sell it for really cheap. Same thing goes for puzzles! Things that sell great are kids items like movies, toys, name brand clothes & shoes, furniture an appliances. You have to get an amazing deal though to be able to resell them at a great price that would make them sell quickly! I didn't agree with a thing this lady said. I sell a lot of stuff on Facebook (I don't buy to resell though) and I have a lot of success with it more so then others around me have but that's because I sell quality stuff for great prices!
Most of those are restricted for sellers
People buy this junk??

@DabKitty sparkle how about you mind your f n business?

@@oscarcastaneda6697 UA-cam is not a bullying ground. People should be able to make videos without being called out on things that don't even matter. So don't you *dare* tell anyone to mind their "f n business" if they see you doing something they think is wrong. k?

People don't want to pay the high postage for these Margery items
You are correct.. Plus they are easily damaged in transit. The best items to sell are working sewing machines and their attachments. Retro kitchen appliances/ vacuum cleaners that are clean and working are other good sellers. If you take the time to clean and polish your items, they do not appear to be an item that you simply picked up a a flea market and placed on ebay...
I sell on ebay everyday and people expect "almost free delivery"... It's a fact, the ebay sellers who "jack up the price" and charge "free delivery" are the most proficient sellers, but that is a dangerous game- your goods can sit for ages unsold...I am a "top ebay seller" and " know the score"...
I agree, some ebay sellers charge a "fixed rate" because they cannot comprehend ( or are too lazy ) the fact they need to weigh the items they list and in that manner the shipping is calculated for them by ebay. Many of these "characters" should not be sellers. I worked for Neiman Marcus and Sak's Fifth Avenue and fought with management for "Free shipping", especially since 20 years ago I was sending out hundreds of dollars worth of "Designer Goods"... It was not uncommon for to make a 1500,00 telephone sale ( I called my clients )...
Richard Beman I always have the buyer pay postage, calculated by eBay, based on the item. No one has ever questioned it!
They pay shipping anyplace else they shop!
Not on Amazon...
Great vid. Great ideas. Bible says...I am the way, the truth and the life...no one goes to the Father except through me. Thank you Jesus.
amen
Larry Geary Amen Brother!
Yesssss, JESUS do win😀. Love it

yes Jesus does win so maybe just you might consider NOT selling masonic (which many do not know is Lucifarian) and other false religion stuff. God bless you too.
Only 5 items to name and yet she has to re-check her list 100 times to get through them all.

Buying and reselling from thrift stores to make a profit seems really unfair and greedy . There is a real reason some people shop at thrift stores. Bragging about how much money you can make from excellent bargains you find there definitely defeats the purpose of the stores. Perhaps you should consider some discretion in your videos .
Sunny Scott nah it’s about buying it then the money goes to charity actually
Bragging about a better way to make money defeats the purpose of your comment! You shouldnt judge how and the way people make an income.
Many charities also sell on eBay because I have bought things from them, usually higher end such as named brands or jewellery
Since you are 'gouging' - i.e. ripping off the charity shops, why not give some of the money back to them?
Seriously? How is gouging or ripping anyone off? She didn't steal anything.
And many thrift stores, not all, are not charity based. Even Goodwill has gone public and is in fact, for profit!
She paid the thrift stores price so how is she ripping off the thrift store? She does not set their prices, the thrift store sets their own prices.
Once she pays for it she can do what she wants, it's her property.
Unsettling. Greedy.
Greedy greedy greedy .
thank you
money money money
There's something to be said for discretion .
Greed! WTF do you think the reason goodwill exists? Yet your greed defies all of that! What a shame!
thanks for watching
How can you say that? She’s not stealing it from Goodwill. She’s buying it from them. Giving them money. She is self-made and self-reliant. I respect what she is doing, totally!
@@letsgo7316 I feel by her taking the items is eliminating the opportunities for all those, that the donors intentions were for. This lady was taking advantage of "donations"! Is it illegal, no. Is it morally ethical... That were you and I disagree.
Horrible advice.
Thanks for watching
So you buy things cheap to resell that some poor family could buy for their kids or for their own needs
For your own profitable gain you are a "good person"
Stop pulling your hair back... It's causing balding
You should be ashamed. But, I know you're not.
U make it hard for people who are in need u make me sick go get a real job
