    I did my second shopping trip at Tjmaxx yesterday and of course thought of you! Soooo much Joie but the two items I have hardly have any likes. My closest TjMaxx doesn’t have many good brands so I am going to have to venture out also haven’t tried Marshall’s just yet! Still new to the reselling business!

    Hi Lindsay! I agree with you about Cloth & Stone! I picked it up at Goodwill & it sat for almost a year! I sent out low offers & no one took the bite! Finally it did sell for my full price…shocked!! That’s why when I see it at marshals I pass. I don’t see the other brands you mentioned. School ended last week for me! Yay to summer break! Looking forward to more of these types of video from you Lindsay!

      Hey Kim! First off, wooohooo summer!! ☀️ I hope you have many fun things planned or nothing at all just so you can have some relaxation time! (Both choices sound fabulous 🙌)
      Funny enough I sold a pair of cloth & stone shorts today and they were sitting in my closet for over a year 😂 Sounds like a similar story to you! Agreed, totally passing for now on!

    I'm just over most of my closet right now though I'm listing more & bringing more to consignment. I'm making hardly anything right now but trying to get rid of dresses so I'm taking a $5 and above profit & have actually lost money the past month still. More sales but ASP has probably dropped in clothing down 45%.

    • @LindsayNicolepm
      @LindsayNicolepm  2 роки тому +1

      Omg, Michelle .. I am so sorry to hear 🥺 I know sometimes a binge can be super helpful to really clear those items that are wasting storage space. I did that in December with a lot of lower end items that sat for at least a year! I ended up sending them to THREDUP and barely got anything out of them. But, I am so happy I did because I feel like I’m not sharing items that I know will just sit 🤷‍♀️
      I hope after the purge you feel more at ease and feeling like you have a fresh start again ❤

      Same’s happening to me. I’m sorry you’re going through this. Smaller sellers are the ones getting hit the hardest as we don’t have the reach that influencers do. I’m lucky to get a sale on Posh every 2 or 3 days and it’s only at an average profit of 10-15 dollars. Mercari is selling better for me though, hope you are crosslisting.

    Free People bell bottoms sell really well but their skinny jeans sit for a long time. I picked some high rise straight leg jeans from Free People and they sold really fast. I don't know why but a lot of House of Harlow pieces that I get from TJ Maxx and Marshalls sit for a long time!

    • @LindsayNicolepm
      @LindsayNicolepm  2 роки тому +1

      Omg, I totally agree! I have only found Free People bell bottom jeans once at my Tjmaxx but when I did they sound within a few days! But, there skinny jeans are a totally different story haha.
      Thats super interesting about House of Harlow! I love that brand personally. I just recently picked up a couple dresses and blazers recently, so I think its too soon to tell if they are sitting. 1 out of 2 dresses have sold and 1 out of 4 blazers have sold so far. So we shall see! I hope you have better luck on those pieces and they sell soon for you!

    Agree with all of these! Joie, Current/Elliott and Equipment are all from the same company Dutch LLC and they’ve all gone waaaaay down hill in resell value over the last few years. I only pick up these brands at the bins now and sell them to BST stores for trade credit.
    Agree with the other commentators about YFB too. I’m starting to skip everything FP too because I find that 95% of the time, it’s over saturated unless I can find the rare 🦄 at the thrift or on clearance at Nordstrom Rack.

    • @LindsayNicolepm
      @LindsayNicolepm  2 роки тому +1

      Omg, I had no idea it was from the same company. That is super interesting. I cant sell Current/ Elliott either, so thats another great one to add to the list haha! Yessss, to YFB also! I, so wish that brand did better because I do love their styles, but it is usually a pass from me now!

    I picked up two young fabulous and broke pieces from marshalls and I just CANNOT move them! Also, I would be super interested in how you handle bookkeeping if you were comfortable with that! Behind the scenes of your inventory and finance systems (do you have a master list, how do you manage what costed how much, do you manually take out taxes throughout the year etc)

    • @LindsayNicolepm

      Hey Cailey! Omg, I literally had Young, Fabulous, & Broke on my list too and then decided to only go over 5 brands.. but if I do a Pt. 2 that would definitely be on it!
      Oh that is a great idea for a video! I would love to do a behind the scenes video. I talk a little bit of my financial organization in my "Taxes" video I posted about 5 months ago in the meantime! But yes, I do save for taxes monthly! I use Vendoo as my master inventory list and a google sheets spreadsheet to keep track of all profits, expenses, etc. Hope that gives you some insight for now!

    • @LindsayNicolepm
      @LindsayNicolepm  2 роки тому +3

      Haha, Plus side is I bet you will get a great deal as a buyer for those! I love their pull on styles too! I list approximately 5-8 items Monday through Friday and relist about 10 items a day! I share my closet every 2-3 hours! I hope this answers your question for now! That is awesome you are expanding your platforms. It will definitely be well worth it when one platform is slacking and the other is helping out with that!

    I’ve actually sold through all cloth and stone as well as my joie pieces. I just picked up 1 joie dress only because it’s linen. I won’t pay up for cloth and stone, but it always sells for me. Just sold a pair of cargo pants recently. Joie has performed well for me and at a high sales price, but only in larger sizes or when they are shoes or items made of quality fabrics like silk.

    I agree. 1. State, no. Free People, only dresses, tops. One that I am really sad about is Vince Camuto. Shoes, clothes used to really sell. Now, nothing. I think ever since he passed away, people have just kind of forgotten about him. I used to be excited finding his shoes. Now I don't ever pick up any. I guess now they are starting to loom too dated.

    • @LindsayNicolepm

They were very consistent sales. Thats interesting to note that his passing could have definitely affected his following.

    Totally agree with everything, I just avoid joie at all costs even goodwill, cloth and stone I still pick up at goodwill but only nicer pieces like wide leg pants, I avoid fp mini skirts and jeans from there too, they just sit, omg 1.state sucks for me lol
    Girl you need to take these things that are sitting and take them to a crossroads or buffalo exchange, they will give you 33% of the cost they will sell it at in cash or 50% if you take credit, so usually dresses there are sold at $22-$48 (excluding higher end brands) so joie would prob be around $28 so they would either give you $9.33 cash or $14 credit
    You should take credit and just replace them with inventory there
    Crossroads is literally bolo heaven, I went there 1 week ago, bought 11 items for $300 but I’ve almost made my money back just with 4 pieces
    And if u don’t have a crossroads there, since you’re always traveling, if you come to CA in the San Francisco area, or go to Portland, fill a bag with inventory to sell to them and then fill your bag with new stuff, just a suggestion

    • @LindsayNicolepm
      @LindsayNicolepm  2 роки тому +1

      I love the suggestion! Omg, sadly I do not have a crossroads here, but the next time I am in CA I am definitely going to make it a priority to go to one!
