Jake loves when he can help his competition compete away his profits and sourcing. Good luck finding AirPods for much longer from your casinos. I appreciate you man but I would never start a business with you and Coke would never trust you with their recipe. 😂
@@JrideFlips That’s not how things work brother. You seem to discount the basic driver of price discovery. Supply and demand. Are the people closing their pallet stores eating at your table? The ones closing shop because of all the competition? How about storage lockers? Are they anywhere near as a viable source as they once were? No they aren’t. Have you read Zero to One? This isn’t something just you are getting wrong. It’s everyone in the content creation sphere. You all talk to each other. You don’t talk to the tens of thousands of people leaving reselling in the last year. You can do whatever you want of course. But to believe market saturation isn’t a thing is wishful thinking.
@@JrideFlipsI appreciate your channel…it’s great to see some new content creators dispelling all the previous misguided advice of the past . There’s plenty of meat left on the bone when you do business ethically and intelligently instead of riding rogue waves.
Teach me your secret to Posh. I shared 75 listings, only 2 sold! I just took my closet down...if I got one more notification that i "should reach for the stars" or "sparkle" I was going to burn the platform down to the ground. Also The $5 offers on $65 items was oh so lovely. Did I mention posh sucks???!!!!
I used to sell on posh , I had over 70k followers. I wouldnt take low offers . I figured out that once you do ...people will see your items sold at low prices and will assume you sell at cheap prices. Its best to share others listing so they can share your items back . I dont do posh anymore. I shut my store down .. once you do that you will have to start all over to rebuild. I do pretty good with market place at the moment. I want to go back into ebay but im wanting to go bigger now and have more listings .
Man you’re a really great. I started reselling 7 months ago. Just started watching you recently and it’s really put a lot of ideas in my head. You are an awesome person and I won’t stop watching. Id love to ask you some questions as well sometime. You’re the best .
Sales are down because of all the Jabroney You Tube heroes telling everyone what to source and how to make 100k quitting your day job to be an eBay sensation….all you Jabroneys do is cause a flood of the market,over saturating all the good brands. Then you can charge people a dollar a day to teach them how to do everything lmfao
I feel like Ebay limits how many sales I can get. Even with sending out aggressive offers once I hit a certain threshold sales halt. I can slowly increase each month but nothing I do will "blow up" my sales.
That’s awesome. I was an only eBay person for a long time but I’m telling you he’s right about mercari. It’s worth at least cross posting some imo just copying and pasting or eBay listings basically I
Have you tried using the eBay 'promote your item' feature (2% minimum) about half my sales are promoted compared to organic. Also, listing a few items each day seems to boost the traffic report (impressions/views). Hope this helps.
15 items a day and you have a employees? No disrespect but 15 items is like an hours worth of work a day, isnt employees for that little of a store silly?
Hi! Any chance we could get a video on how to ship small kitchen appliances? Especially coffee makers with the glass pot? I am having the hardest time finding one, and I want to be able to ship them safely. If you've already demonstrated this, please point me to the video. Thanks so much!
My sales are through the roof only 100 items listed but the 77 sold and the first weeks of January I have a full-time job I wouldn’t be able to keep up with more than this
Good to know your surgery went well. I only sell a few days a month at the start of the month on ebay but decided to open an additional day near the end of the month. That day I had much higher sales in one day than I have had in two years. That was due to volume not a few high dollar items.
Glad to hear your recovery is going so well. Really appreciate all your content I just started just under 2 weeks ago, and passed $1,000 in sales today. I have been watching tons of reseller content, you are by far my favorite and I believe the most informative and aligned with how I think a business should be run. Keep up the great work, wish the best for you and yours.
It's their own fault. Ebay was working fine until they imposed extortionate fees. Who's going to want to sell at a loss. Plus no one negotiates on ebay anymore and your best offers for your items are ignored. You'd be as well to sell your items to cash converters or a second hand shop.
Are you willing to spend a bit more on an item if the sell through rate is higher? Thanks to you I didn’t swet bidding more because the sell through was 75% so I sold that item within a week.
Just started eBay about to hit my second month! I’m focusing only on eBay, than do exactly what you do, so far 180 items sold and I’ve made 6k!!! I’m listing 5 quality items everyday and 250 listed
Glad you are back and recovering nicely 😊! Thanks for sharing your story with us! I am always learning something new and trying to get fast moving items! I found boys Timberland boots for $3.50 and sold in 5 days for $41 with shipping! Also portable heaters sell good, Honeywell used, $3 sold for $30 with shipping, took 2 to 3 days to sell! It all ads up! Have a great week 👍 😀! Joe Bee 🐝 from 🇨🇦 🍁 🇨🇦 Canada!
Ebay just isn't enough anymore. I started selling on Mercari when they first rolled out and did great. But what I've noticed is that items don't sell for as much profit as I can get on ebay. Do you list stuff for lower prices on Mercari compared to ebay?
Posh i adjust prices there. Don't sleep on their shipping. They will gladly buy a gaming system for 10-15 more if that means they can save on the shipping that can be 20-25 and no returns after 3 days is sweet!
What's the difference between eBay sales and resells? Edit: 👆 My old comment here. Month old at the time of edit. That's when I got exposed to the idea of eBay being a potential source of income. Didn't know the difference, lol.
Dude. I have been watching your videos for a while now, trying to learn from your success. Only now am I learning you have employees! What else haven't you disclosed that would be beneficial to someone interested in learning how to create a business such as yours?
Sales in January will be down for nearly ev everyone every year. December is the peak and then there is a drop off. It's completely normal and to be expected.
You are looking good. I’m glad you are feeling better. I do monthly delist and relist on Mercari. I am a clothing reseller. I want to try to keep my listings closer to the top. You can’t leave it and forget it. Just my recommendation.
Glad your better and back! I love Mecari. I sell more on that platform than all put together. They have the sellers back unlike the bay. Clothing is slow to sell on there though unless your giving it away. I have tons of nice name brands with tags and they are not moving and priced low. My sales have sucked in January but I'm hopeful things will pick up for me. Love your Vid. Thanks for all you do. Stay well!
Mercari is great! On week three of selling, and went there because eBay was limiting me to 10 listing a month. I cross listed everything on Mercari, and have been continuing to list. Tomorrow when it’s February 1st I’ll cross list 10 from Mercari to eBay. So far 4 sales there! The platforms are very similar, which making it so easy. I’m definitely heading over to Poshmark soon! So glad to hear that the surgery went well! Take it easy!
Glad you are back from surgery. Listen to your doctor, and don't overdo. I have such a new approach to buying inventory from your discussions on sell-through-rate(STR). I have listed some items that I had that have a 80+ STR and the sales are happening!!
Watched the video where you mentioned surgery in the future. Didnt notice how old it was. I was surprised you're already done with it. What's the expected full recovery time?
Nice, very helpful, I was your first follower on Mercari.. I also have been cross listing on eBay posh and Mercari based on your recommendations so thanks for that. Posh is a lot different and challenging. So many notifications of followers.. 😂
Loving your videos, Jake! I'm glad your surgery went well and that you are on the road to recovery. Have you heard any rumours about Mercari coming to Canada any time soon?
Welcome back, Jake! January has been fantastic for me, 100% increase over last year. Your info and suggestions have been very helpful and I am getting closer to listing on Mercari so your plan to expand is a great reinforcement. Thanks for including us in your (J)ride.
This is my best month ever and it's my first time hitting 10k reselling. That's after fees & ship. I'm gearing up for February, though. Last year February was my worst month so I'm ready to accept lots of offers
The fact that you are seriously considering an actual geographical repositioning of your family and life really sounds to me like you need to do what I did and transition completely to Amazon selling. Since we last spoke Jake, I’m doing $40k a month (half of which is profit) and I carry no inventory and all my inventory arrives on my porch
Jake loves when he can help his competition compete away his profits and sourcing.
Good luck finding AirPods for much longer from your casinos.
I appreciate you man but I would never start a business with you and Coke would never trust you with their recipe. 😂
This the point of the channel. Everyone eats at my table

@@Jake-Day…the fact that you believe that other ppl discussing “trade secrets” is killing your and everyone else’s profits is laughable. lol
@@JrideFlipsI appreciate your channel…it’s great to see some new content creators dispelling all the previous misguided advice of the past . There’s plenty of meat left on the bone when you do business ethically and intelligently instead of riding rogue waves.
Plenty to go around. And then if things change, pivot. Keep studying for yourself, not just what Jake graciously shares
eBay is tanking big time. The constant changes and squeezing sellers for every dime they can is pushing people away.
They can squeeze sellers because there’s an over-supply of them.
I agree.
Good! Everyone can leave all I care about is the buyers lol
@jrideflips I appreciate your vids so much. And learning from your evolution is reselling
It sucks because Canadians cannot sell on Mecarie
Teach me your secret to Posh. I shared 75 listings, only 2 sold! I just took my closet down...if I got one more notification that i "should reach for the stars" or "sparkle" I was going to burn the platform down to the ground. Also

Who else has been binge watching this man’s content? Keep it up, I’m learning so much!
Just started today to binge watch (enjoying his presentation style and pragmatic approach) :)
Man you’re a really great. I started reselling 7 months ago. Just started watching you recently and it’s really put a lot of ideas in my head. You are an awesome person and I won’t stop watching. Id love to ask you some questions as well sometime. You’re the best .
Your live streams are fantastic 👍🏻

Did you watch the video lol
🙏 For your continued fast healing.
My sales are higher than ever although i have only been taking ebay seriously for about 3 months. I sell around 40-50 a week with 500 listed.
Keep that pumping!
Fire bro 🔥
What do you sell?
I feel like Ebay limits how many sales I can get. Even with sending out aggressive offers once I hit a certain threshold sales halt. I can slowly increase each month but nothing I do will "blow up" my sales.

I’m so happy they your surgery was successful. Prayers for good health ahead. Thank you for your videos. I have learned so much from you.
I'm thinking about shutting my eBay store down nobody even looks at my items it's too much frustration I don't know what I'm doing wrong
Have you tried using the eBay 'promote your item' feature (2% minimum) about half my sales are promoted compared to organic. Also, listing a few items each day seems to boost the traffic report (impressions/views). Hope this helps.
I am the dreaded generalist seller, mainly because it’s difficult to find a specific item consistently.
What would you recommend?
I list everything as well. Not dreaded at all. Find the 7 fastest selling items you can everyday and sell those
Glad to see you back and to know that your surgery went well.
Waaay too many commercials.
15 items a day and you have a employees? No disrespect but 15 items is like an hours worth of work a day, isnt employees for that little of a store silly?

Welcome back Jake Glad to hear your recovery is going well! #welovejride
My sales are through the roof only 100 items listed but the 77 sold and the first weeks of January I have a full-time job I wouldn’t be able to keep up with more than this
What items do you source?
Good to know your surgery went well. I only sell a few days a month at the start of the month on ebay but decided to open an additional day near the end of the month. That day I had much higher sales in one day than I have had in two years. That was due to volume not a few high dollar items.
Salem NH welcome back !!😅 thank you for sharing!!
Thanks I’m glad to be back

Bro... thats what i said on my first 3 months going to amazon... then everything died... so i think your experiencing new seller boost..
It's their own fault. Ebay was working fine until they imposed extortionate fees. Who's going to want to sell at a loss. Plus no one negotiates on ebay anymore and your best offers for your items are ignored. You'd be as well to sell your items to cash converters or a second hand shop.
Are you willing to spend a bit more on an item if the sell through rate is higher? Thanks to you I didn’t swet bidding more because the sell through was 75% so I sold that item within a week.
I have heard that there is a tool that allows to copy an ebay listing straight to marcari. Would you please explain that to us,Thanks.
Just started eBay about to hit my second month! I’m focusing only on eBay, than do exactly what you do, so far 180 items sold and I’ve made 6k!!! I’m listing 5 quality items everyday and 250 listed
What’s your eBay shop called, mate?
Your plan all along huh. Idk your old videos you were set on eBa loly. I been telling you bro. Glad you came around
hey, you make a video on promoted listings. It just disappeared and sells are down big time.
eBay flooded I don’t buy from them u rather thrift myself. Most of the stuff sold you can find yourself at the thrift store.
Sold like 4-5 cameras and just found a $300 camera at the bins because of you man.. before I would just pass up on them all. Huge thanks
Hotel per law can not auction off lost or mislaid property for profit. Someone is not telling the truth here
Funny I thought he said one time that he was not interested in going on any other platforms
How to to keep track of your crosselling platforms and listing…brand new at reselling and I appreciate all that you share, it has helped me a lot…
Glad you are back and recovering nicely 😊! Thanks for sharing your story with us! I am always learning something new and trying to get fast moving items!

Ebays pushinb their paid "google" ads on ebay
I have eBay and Mercari and I can’t get any sales 🙁
Same experience when i started in ebay and amazon
8:20 - Is that ethical? Please tell me you're not stealing AirPods from the lost & found. You're not doing that, are you? Please clarify. 😲
No not at all lol. After 90 days casinos auction lots off or sell them
😂
I have tons listed on Mercari, but have had only 2 sales. Must be what I sell...no electronics! 😅
Sounds over complicated
Ebay just isn't enough anymore. I started selling on Mercari when they first rolled out and did great. But what I've noticed is that items don't sell for as much profit as I can get on ebay. Do you list stuff for lower prices on Mercari compared to ebay?
I’ve been listing the same price on both. I haven’t noticed worse prices on Mercari yet
Posh i adjust prices there. Don't sleep on their shipping. They will gladly buy a gaming system for 10-15 more if that means they can save on the shipping that can be 20-25 and no returns after 3 days is sweet!
Excellent point. I’ll consider that

Welcome back!
Mercari's not available in Australia 😢
Hope get it sometime this year.
We had Poshmark from 2021, but already shutdown its australian presence.

Watched the video where you mentioned surgery in the future. Didnt notice how old it was. I was surprised you're already done with it. What's the expected full recovery time?
I just lost my R AirPods Pro and they are too expensive just going to buy another open box set for $90
Nice, very helpful, I was your first follower on Mercari.. I also have been cross listing on eBay posh and Mercari based on your recommendations so thanks for that. Posh is a lot different and challenging. So many notifications of followers.. 😂
Have you ever had 1 item sell on 2 different platforms and then could not fulfil one?
Crazy timing. I just began cross listing last week... Not seeing the same success
Couldn't agree more. My store has been hovering around 50 items selling 5-7 per day. My model right now is $37 into $75
Profit is up 9.3% this month over last month. - Clothing
Loving your videos, Jake! I'm glad your surgery went well and that you are on the road to recovery. Have you heard any rumours about Mercari coming to Canada any time soon?
Outstanding video Jake. So glad that you are on the mend, I been praying for your swift recovery:) Keep up the great work!
Welcome back, Jake! January has been fantastic for me, 100% increase over last year. Your info and suggestions have been very helpful and I am getting closer to listing on Mercari so your plan to expand is a great reinforcement. Thanks for including us in your (J)ride.
Thanks for sharing you have a blessed day in the name of Jesus Christ.
I have sold a bunch of cheap stuff this month on eBay. 90% of sales are $20.
Whatnot has terrible reviews and a significantly intrusive signup process.
Glad you're back.
Glad to be back!
Can you do a video on how to keep good records for IRS purposes?
Mercari is awesome for electronics something you excell at!
Thanks for giving us a peak at how you are evolving your business!
How did you come about purchasing from lost and found? Storytime @ jride flips ?
Great to see you back. I had that surgery about 10 years ago. It wasn’t terrible but anytime you get cut on it’s rough.
Nice to see you brother. All the best and take care of yourself. Best regards from Canada
Glad to see you're back at it, brother. Time to grind!
For the AirPods. Are you able to sell them off if the old Apple ID is still attached to them?
Thanks for the tips! Glad you’re feeling better.
I'm glad the surgery went well. 🙏🏻
Thanks for another great video and wish you a speedy recovery!
10/10 Video! Thank you! (fix lighting)
Welcome back! Glad you had a speedy recovery 🎉
Get well soon, may God continue to bless you and your family.
Great to see you back in the game! Will certainly take a look at Mecari
Did you pay to return ship that jacket?
Mine are higher this month! 2-3 sales per day!
You are really an inspiration, man. Thanks!
Welcome back. Here’s to a speedy recovery.
Thx! Glad to hear you are doing well!
This is my best month ever and it's my first time hitting 10k reselling. That's after fees & ship. I'm gearing up for February, though. Last year February was my worst month so I'm ready to accept lots of offers
Great strategy. Sounds like you’ll do well!
Welcome back! Take it easy and heal well!
Thanks for sharing, Jake❤!
Welcome Back! Glad all is well.
Glad to hear things went well!
You're doing well 👍🏻
Welcome back! Glad to see you!
Glad you are doing well
Glad you’re back!
Are you using the Mercari shipping labels and charging shipping or are you using the free ship model and using Pirate ship ?
Free with pirate ship
Thanks

A much bigger part of why we are moving is to be close to family. Having more sourcing is a major plus
