    I always think of that Seinfeld episode every time during your intro where George calls the head of the Susan Ross Foundation Wink, the guy corrects him and says Wick.

    Hey Wick! I always love to see when there’s a new video from you. I’m gonna be frank and tell you that whenever I go to UA-cam to watch selling videos, I always go to your station first to see if you have anything uploaded. You’re so down to earth and your voice is very relaxing. I’m also watching your old content over time.
    Anyway, my questions to you- do you go sourcing every day? How many items do you list a day- do you have a minimum goal? And one more thing, what’s the reason you have a death pile? Is it because you just don’t feel like listing and eventually it ends up there, or is it because the items aren’t that interesting to you so you put them to the side? What I tend to do is put them to the side because I am frustrated about the description, and how to describe the item. I’m a perfectionist, and it really affects me. 😂
    Have a great weekend and I am throwing out awesome vibes for you to have a fun and find lots of great stuff to share with us! 🎉

      Hey! Glad you're enjoying the videos. To answer your questions, yes I go sourcing pretty much every day except Sunday usually. I used to set goals for listing, but with editing videos and random sales happening all the time, it's hard to keep goals with listing. So now I just list whenever I get time.
      The biggest reason I have a death pile is because when I first started reselling I was focused on Amazon and RA. I kept buying things to sell on eBay when hitting sales, but didn't start actually listing until 2-3 years after. So I had a ton of stuff already. Never caught up lol. Now I find way more than I have time to list. I have bought out peoples eBay stores and toy collections etc. It's just built up over the past decade. I source a lot because I love hunting and don't want to miss any rummage sales etc. I try to hit every sale I can. Since I do UA-cam I need to keep hunting and listing for video content. Doing UA-cam also take time away from listing. I don't consider having a large death pile a bad thing, but more like an investment.
      I used to be a perfectionist listing on eBay, so I get it. Now I keep everything simple. I don't fill out all the product info etc. I just take good pictures and explain what needs to be said. It saved me to be honest lol.

    Hey Wick, do you ever post videos of the item, like that Furby, singing or stuff in your listings? I had a couple of Disney dolls that sang songs from their movies that weren't moving for a good price, then I added a short 20-30 second video of them singing and they both sold within days.

    • @FlippingJunk

      Funny you asked. I haven't yet, but I have a singing Christmas tree I just tested and I'm going to record one for the listing.

    I wish my Goodwills were set up like yours. I have 5 different GWs in different directions from me and they are all set up the same: Bunch of clothing racks with everything else on the top of the clothing racks. I have to walk on my tiptoes the whole time because I am only 5'3" and I don't sell clothing.

    I'm pretty sure those were Aldi logo shoes, not Fila. I've recently seen them and other Aldi-branded items at, well, Aldi. Lol. ☺️

      Oh, maybe so. Not sure about the shoes, but I think the flip flops were selling decent on eBay at one point.

    $10.49 seems to be the lowest price on shoes, are you guys going thru something similar where Goodwill has marked up their prices. Im in the Austin area by the way.

  • @Jacob-nu4nd

    Do you clean those shoes before you resell them or do you sell them as is?

    • @FlippingJunk
      @FlippingJunk  6 місяців тому

      If they need it. I don't do a thorough cleaning, but wipe off dirt etc

    Hey wick when you list items for sale do you do best offer? just list a straight price for sale with no auction or do you post for example your price 20 but have it as a auction so it can go higher or is that a bad idea? I am assuming you dont list items like this as a straight auction with a super low start price? I have sold things but it is more things i know alot about (personal Hobbies stuff ect.) But we are cleaning up a property we have and i was thinking to list a lot of it, but never really had any luck selling random things and I think it is do to the format hence the questions above. I know it maybe easier for you as have the experience and time invested. I do have perfect feedback tracking back to when i got on the platform in 2010. But i tend to not advertise items, is that something i should consider? ANY THING YOU CAN POINT OUT TO HELP?? Great channel also you straight to the point content is proper, happy subscriber here. Cheers and thank you, IF ANY ONE HAS INPUT ON MY QUESTIONS.... PLEASE CHIME IN

    • @FlippingJunk
      @FlippingJunk  6 місяців тому +1

      I usually do best offer on all my items. Some I'll do auctions on. Maybe auction something valuable, but with some damage. Or if I lot up some items because it's hard to predict what someone will pay for some things. You get way more sales doing auctions, but most items won't sell for as much as waiting it out. Auctions are a good way to get rid of inventory, but remember some things people just don't want to buy and pay shipping on. If you're selling something where there's a lot of it listed, then advertising can help, but most items if people are searching for it, then they will see your listing.
