Just curious have you put any new content out lately I subscribed to your channel that I haven’t gotten any notifications and question for you what’s your average rate of return on shoes and could you put a video out on what’s your average sale price on your brands that you like to pick up like sketchers Nike Adidas and so forth I’m selling some shoes but I have a bunch of shoes that haven’t sold yet just curious thanks man
We’ve been focusing on Instagram content. We have 0.4% return rate. We sold 7400+ pairs last year with 34 returns. Average sale price depends on the marketplace you use.
@@rnzynow Thanks for the super fast reply I’m gonna check out the prices I put on my shoes and I’m going to probably start a promotion I sell mostly on eBay actually everything on eBay thanks again man
My main source of inventory of all things are storage units. Bought two 10 x 20's that looked to be full of toys and video games. They were, however, there were also tons of shoes. Some new. Still culling the garbage shoes but have over 1000 pair so far. Ridiculous amount but once they get into listing selling pipine it should make for an awesome profit. Cool vids you guys have. Just discovered your channel.
Does poshmark or Mercari allow returns for used shoes ? eBay is ridiculous, I sold a brand new pair of Levi’s the guy wore them then wanted to return them sent pix of a different pair of stained jeans . I had to refund him got the jeans back no stains ? But now I can’t sell them as new 🤦♂️🤷♂️
2nd part We are leaving Monday July 5th for Portland. We have been there several times but not by car. We are staying two nights then Bar Harbor for 2 days and the remains two nights around Brunswick, Rockprt not sure about last 2 nights. Any suggestions will be appreciated thanks.
Do you guys clean inside the insoles of the shoes? I find a lot of the time when I'm cleaning shoes that look very clean and I take out the insoles, they have a lot of dirt and pet hair inside them occasionally. This adds some time to the cleaning process but I feel like it's necessary in order to not get any negative reviews from buyers finding out that the inside of the shoes are dirty. Just wondering if this is part of your cleaning process as well.
We always try to source shoes that are in great condition inside and out so that we don’t have to spend a lot of time cleaning them. You’re right….the stricter you source the easier it is to get great reviews.
Hey Rnzy, thanks so much for all of the knowledge you guys share! My questions are, when it comes to checking comps, do you check comps for each shoe on each platform you sell on or do you pick one platform and just check comps on that one site? I'm currently just checking comps on Poshmark but wondering if the trends are pretty different between platforms, do I need to be checking multiple for each shoe? Second question is, what have you guys set as your profit minimum that you go by when deciding if a pair is worth picking up or not? Again thanks for sharing what you've learned, and congrats on the pregnancy, I'm due this fall as well. Here's to happy healthy babies! -Kristin
Each marketplace has its own value for each pair so it only makes sense to check comps everywhere you plan to sell the pair. Pairs sell for different prices on Poshmark than they do on Mercari. We look to worst case scenario double our money after all fees and taxes but we average 3X - 4X our money after all fees. Doesn’t matter what we do though….your goal should be to improve on what your numbers were yesterday 👊👊
No haggling, no complaining, be honest, follow through, buy a lot of shoes, never return shoes, be friendly! Almost perfect advise for a happy life! No "Karen's" allowed! I have no interest in buying shoes to re-sell, but I am learning a lot from your videos about shoes and life in general!! Keep up the great videos! 👍
In the beginning it was FB Marketplace, now it’s Poshmark, and we’ve sold a ton on Mercari. You can win on all the marketplaces so use the ones you enjoy and build.
Found your UA-cam channel via your Instagram, I hadn't found your channel before as I only focus on Ebay, but reminds me that I should be trying to find reselling tips from resellers that dont use Ebay, generally reselling tips will be valid on any selling platform. Enjoying your videos and learning alot!
Source shoes that have “insides” in great condition. If you want to go a step further try spraying some grandma’s until it foams and use a soft bristle brush. We have links to that stuff in the description of this video 🤝
Question, sold a new pair of Pumas in the original box on Mercari, if I put them in a 1095 box I am over the 2lbs, $12.00 shipping threshold. If I remember correctly that is what you suggested in a shipping video. Am I missing something ?
Yes. On Mercari we always select 3 lbs (unless the shoes weigh more than that) because there isn’t a difference in price between 2lbs and 3lbs. On Mercari it always makes sense to make sure you know the weight as you list the item because it’s required when listing. If you guess then you run into situations like you’re in.
Yes it is still profitable. Some marketplaces market value changes daily so simply make sure you have systems in place to get everything listed. Most people don’t and then they build a pile of unlisted items that never sell.
@@rnzynow thanks for the information. I've been binge-watching your videos. A lot of valuable information that you and your wife provide; that a lot of people don't. Keep up the great work!
Hey man. Thanks for much for the video. I was wondering what you do when you have shoes that haven’t sold in a couple weeks. Do you keep them for a while before lowering the price. I’m still learning which pairs sell the best and I’ve bought some that I can tell are hard to sell. Just wondering what I should do as I agree with you I don’t want to store shoes I want to sell them. Thank you!!! 🤙
When shoes aren’t selling it either means you didn’t research what they were selling for on the marketplaces you’re using OR you need to improve your listing. Best way to prevent stale inventory is to do more research before you buy.
That cart is so remarkable. My local outlet is super competitive and doesn't have that many quality shoes and boots. I have made $650 from one of my runs though. Not as good as you guys but still pretty good. You should do a video of your guys strategy when your at the outlet, I'm thinking of doing one,posting it and getting feedback because I've decided to make this my livelihood since the beginning of June. Thanks
Will do, Made my very first shoe sale on mercari tonight. Thanks for inspiring us to do this ,the money is there if we're willing to spend the time to do it. Which I am.
@@rnzynow Yes! I totally agree! And I know to check comps and do on a daily basis! Correcting my mistake today and moving forward. Always appreciative of you guys!
Hi guys. When listing youth shoes, Nike 5.5Y boys. Is listing in womens Dept an option since some women wear youth size? Or best to list in Boys Dept ? Thanks guys

Poshmark and Mercari have much better seller protection than EBay.
How many items and what are you donating back to savers to get that 20% off coupon ? Where are the items coming from that you donate back ?
2 pairs of shoes in a plastic bag. We have been testing wholesale purchases and the pairs we are donating don’t meet our requirements to sell.
@@rnzynow learned that lesson the hard way looking up comps before determining if theyre ok to buy , wasted a lot of time sheesh
Now I’m thinking of going back to selling shoes😊thanks Rnzy
Enough room for anyone who wants to get a piece of the pie to do so 💪💪
When is the best time to go to thrift stores or goodwill? When they first open up or after being open a couple of hours?

How many shoe returns do you get monthly? Great video!
On average we only have 1 or 2 returns a month. We’ve sold over 20,000 pairs and we’ve had less than 100 returns all time in 4 years.

No excuses 👊👊
Do you ever soak dirty tennis shoes in the washer and air dry to clean? Love your videos!
We are testing it out but only with a few pairs. Have you done that?
Thank you guys. What is your suggestion for wiping down the insides of shoes?
Source shoes that have “insides” in great condition. If you want to go a step further try spraying some grandma’s until it foams and use a soft bristle brush. We have links to that stuff in the description of this video 🤝

How soon can you get by not reselling as soon as you source? Is it still profitable if listing a day or two later?
Yes it is still profitable. Some marketplaces market value changes daily so simply make sure you have systems in place to get everything listed. Most people don’t and then they build a pile of unlisted items that never sell.
