I’ll let others weigh in on if Poshmark is good place to list clothes/shoes.
But its all about the basics. Do the research. I look at sold search for Charlotte Russ: https://www.ebay.com/sch/i.html?_from=R40&_nkw=charlotte+russe+shoes&_sacat=0&LH_TitleDesc=0&rt=nc&LH_Sold=1&LH_Complete=1
Seems pretty low dollar if you dont like to churn and burn.
What brands are they? With clothing, it’s the brand that will tell you if the item will sit or sell quickly regardless of the platform you sell on.
Glad to see the consignment pipeline doing well. It’d a dream for any scavenger to just have the fun of finding stuff….and making someone else do the work!
Now that your death piles have a place to be sold, you once mentioned possibly scavenging other items that are not card-related. Is this still the plan? Or do cards still take up your days/interest?
If someone ever hears who the “celebrity friend” is, please update this thread. I’d be very curious what kind of celebrity has access to shows worth $1.8 million and decides to sell through some dude on eBay.
It is interesting that PWCC haven’t suffered consequences in the card community.
I’m really surprised he keeps talking about the issue. Maybe he’s hoping he can keep being a “thought leader” and continue making money being a podcaster + selling coach.
I assume the authorities (if involved) are going to want to know who the “celebrity friend” is.
Just from a glance, I’d say these are modern. eBay is very strict about any listing that claims Native American origin like Navajo.
I’d label it Southwestern and call it a day. They’ll sell well.
Very interesting that he kept that part of his business “secret” on his Youtube account. Makes me think he knew the risks.
At about 5:30 in the video, he admits that the actually NET PROFIT on 1.8 million in shoe sales was low, and wasn’t worth losing access to eBay.
Easy come easy go. Wonder if he’ll be able to replicate his high volume + low profit clothing business on another platform?
EDIT: he actually said he wouldnt sell on Mecari or Poshmark because its not set up for big sellers. Talked about either selling used clothes wholesale to other sellers. or opening a brick/mortar thrift store? Seems he killed the Golden Goose.
Congrats on taking back your time. I predict you’ll find ways to live with less money, or learn to make more money in a sane way 🙂
Just when we think COVUD is in the rear view, it keep popping back up. Stay safe.
Even on these low dollar weeks, I’m grateful for the sales.
Im glad your posting. You’re our “train guy” here. Keep us updated on your finds and sales.
We stayed in a hotel this weekend which means we watch cable TV. On HGTV, every single show is about people buying and flipping homes. EVERY SINGLE SHOW.
I guess everyone’s a real estate investor now. I dont think they’ll be a crash, but it certainly feels like things are too hot and someone is going to be stuck with very expensive, mediocre properties.
In our area, I don’t think they’ll be a housing crash. Many home buyers are baby boomers selling houses in DC for $600k+ and then purchasing in our area for $200-$300k, driving local home prices up.
Then there are outside investors snapping up properties and turning them into rentals. The properties are generating income.
So I don’t see a crash coming. Just leveling out. All the recent purchases are all solid. None of the “liars loans” you say in 2008.
But… “list and forget” won’t work in a two-day event, and when I went to a fair at this place last year vendors’ stock was high-priced, boring, and not selling.
Very good point, “List and forget” only works because of the internet and global shipping which allows an item to be always for sale to every single person on the planet.
