 All right, fellow buddies. We are at the Goodwill Bins. It is time to dig with me So as always, I ask everybody to put things they see down in the comments with a timestamp Hey fellow buddies, thanks for watching Amazing, right? All right, let's get started Okay, so a timestamp is basically telling me and everybody else In the video where you saw the item so if it's at two minutes and 30 seconds you put that down below and You just say I normally pick up Records and I sell this type of record for good money. That's my bread and butter or oh my goodness You missed a big money Bolo. I would have picked up whatever item it was So this keeps it educational for everyone. It's a super wet fun way to learn and I will also be popping up screenshots of how I listed everything that I actually bought at this trip to the bins and Those items are currently on eBay and some of them are on what not So we will talk more about that as the video goes on but this little guy He's from is he Star Wars? I thought about picking him up, but I ended up leaving him behind I always always always look in jewelry containers because you know what I have actually found jewelry at the bins I think in my sticker video There was a silver a sterling silver piece that I found it was like new in the box incredible what you can find incredible what people donate incredible what ends up in this massive pile of I Don't even know what to call it. I call it inventory, but there is some trash There's a lot of stuff that is empty boxes and stuff that really should just be thrown out that we have to dig through If you go to the bins tell me what your favorite thing to source is you're gonna see that I mostly shop in the hard goods area I stay away from the clothing not a big fan of searching for clothing That's not really my thing. So if you're new to the channel, you're basically gonna see hard goods in this video But don't go away if you sell clothing because you may learn that hey, I can sell different things I don't know if you know but on Mercari and Poshmark. Those are not only Clothing websites you can also sell hard goods I think a big misconception for Poshmark is that it's mainly clothing that is absolutely not true I sell tons of hard goods on both of those platforms. So If you're thinking about getting on different platforms, I do have some links down below the referral links So you'll get some cash to shop if you use my referral link and also If you want to try list perfectly that is a cross posting service. That's what I use I've been using it since 2019. I start my items on eBay and then cross post to Poshmark and Mercari There's a demo video down below We won't go into all that but you can check it out And if you decide you like it and want to use it you can use coupon referral code Bolo buddies all one word to get 30% off your first month All right, let's keep digging here These trucks now you're gonna see me pick up some smalls. What do I do with my smalls? Some of them I list individually a lot of times small little figures. You'd be surprised You can get 10 15 20 bucks out of some of them sometimes more it really really just Depends on the item and how hard it is to find Vintage items obviously do better. I just picked up that little Oh, what do you call it? I'm trying to think of what they're called. They're v-tech and they're lights and sounds and I usually pick those up and put them in small lots. So I have not listed those yet. I'm working to put a bundle together and Then I will get that listed the little lovey. I did pick the lovey up But I had to wash that one so I have not got it listed yet I'm thinking I maybe should have picked up that little taggy Would you guys have picked that up or would you left it behind was that fabric should I've grabbed the fabric? Oh my goodness. I always watch these videos back and do voiceovers and I'm like, oh, I should have maybe grabbed that a Lot of people are like don't have regrets and I'm like, well, it's not really regret It's just kind of looking and thinking, huh? Did I miss that? Should I have grabbed that? But when you have as much inventory as I have I probably need to be even more selective than I am I Have a tendency to want to save everything from the landfill Who's with me on that? Who has a huge money pile profit pile? I heard somebody call it a profit pile the other day and I'm like I kind of like the profit pile also money Mountain So many names for our Inventory that is unlisted. Let me know down in the comments. What do you guys call your unlisted inventory? I would love to hear it because I'm sure there's gonna be some funny answers to that Everybody has a name. There has to be a name. I can probably imagine that your significant other has a name for it as well All right, did I miss a big money Bolo? I picked these up I looked at them and I thought about it and then I was like, oh, they're heavy I just don't know I did a little Google or eBay comps And I just kept finding more and more and more and I think because there were so many That I probably could have sold them for really good money. They are Doberman magazines and It would definitely probably be a long tail item that would take the right buyer But what if that right buyer was ready to buy and it sold really quickly So again, I'm picking up anything Paul patrol any current cartoons I always pick those up the lightweight stuff that doesn't weigh very much. That was I don't know if that was a mega block I think it might have been a mega block So I will make small lots that vehicle right there was trackers vehicle. It's a little bit harder to find than your average Paul patrol the common ones. I did find some diecast Cars that are Paul patrol, which some of those can do better. Look more Doberman. Should I've got those? Would you guys have got those? I know my ephemera sellers that are watching are probably like, oh my goodness Why didn't you get that this one here? I could not find a really good comp on that so I priced it a little high and We'll see what happens But as far as the other Paul patrol, I have not listed those yet. I'm gonna make some small lots I might bring some of those to what not in a toy show or I may put some on what not in the buy it now haven't quite decided yet just making bags of similar and like items right now and We'll figure that out down the road when I am ready to List and have enough to list to make small bundles Let me know in the comments, do you grab the small toys? Do you create bundles? How do you list your small toys? What platforms are you using? Is any can you sell toys on kid is in I know the other day? I featured a Bolo where somebody sold wallpaper on Kittison and I thought Kittison was mostly Clothing kids clothes. So this is a Kohl's Cares dr. Seuss fish And I don't normally pick up Kohl's Cares But I have heard in the rebel resellers videos over and over and over pick up Kohl's Cares It's a great bread and butter item. So I picked it up and guess what it sold super fast I couldn't believe how fast it sold now. I did price it competitively I priced it on the lower end, but it sold quick So if you're not following the rebel reseller, definitely go follow her I popped up a screenshot a little bit ago of her channel and I will link it down below in the description She specializes in plush now the item that I just popped up was a leap frog item Back when we were on lockdown. I don't know if you guys remember I'm sure you do those items were flying out of my eBay store I could not keep them in stock now. It's really really hard to sell the leap frog items They are much more long tail So I figure I'll be sitting on that for a while, but it was a new old stock item it's still in the original packaging which is always a pickup and Also, I believe that was considered media because it was a book and a game cartridge The little baby rattle that you saw those are like little lovies things that kids get attached to that if they lose People are always looking for those on eBay. I think I sold that thing on whatnot if I remember correctly I'm not even sure what it was So We're gonna keep digging here see what we can find I think I sold that on what not also or I threw it in a toy lot. Maybe it's in a toy lot I don't know it's somewhere. I remember picking it up, but I don't know. I don't think it was complete These lights are pretty cool. Would you guys have picked those up or left them behind? Number one, the reason I left them behind is I didn't know if they worked number two. It was a tangled mess Which you know tangles ah I do a lot of jewelry Untangling shows on my whatnot and I like doing those on what not because I can talk to you guys while I untangle and then I sell the items as I untangle So if you're not following me on what not I'd love for you guys to come over. I'm doing lots and lots of jewelry I am Bolo buddies all one word over there There is a referral link down below and you can get $15 to shop if you use that to join what not if You've never heard of what not let me know down in the comments. I'm wondering how many people have never heard of the platform I'm betting there's a few it is incredible These here are educational mats. I don't know. Do you think I should have grabbed these? Do you think maybe a teacher would have bought these? Maybe would have been a good item for Poshmark. I don't know. Here's another leapfrog. I left that one behind I Was being more selective this right here. I have not listed yet, but I definitely picked it up It is a vintage sewing machine Booklet so it is basically instructions for your sewing machine, but it's for an old one It is vintage and I actually had that in my pile for my ephemera show that I did on what not and I never got to it So it's just sitting in my basement. I may end up putting that on eBay I don't know I I'm not sure what I'm gonna do another ephemera show if you guys were at my ephemera show Did you like it? Do you want to see more ephemera shows? I have lots and lots of that kind of stuff. I've got crafters items toys. You name it I've got it and you can sell anything pretty much anything on what not of course. There's the normal restrictions and Okay, I grabbed all of these buttons buttons do sell I sold these on what not now Here's a fun little story for you. Hello Courtney Well, I'm finally getting around to sending this your way only two months later This button was purchased on what not at my show She said I paid 50 at in it for an entire 10 of interesting old buttons, but this is the one I wanted Knew it would be good after doing research on worth point. Thanks to you Courtney I still have all the buttons the list and that one sold for $149.99 for one Button so yes anytime I see buttons. I am picking it up now that button did not come from the Goodwill Ben's I don't remember where I sourced to that button. It's been sitting in my money pile forever So there was another sewing machine thing. I picked up definitely gonna pick up old ephemera It will sell now a lot of times ephemera can be long tail But if you list it and that person is looking for it It can also be a quick sale and a lot of it can go for big money But a lot of it is bread and butter as well. So you always got to do your research All right, let's see what else we can find here scissors. Those were pretty cool Maybe I should have picked them up. I ended up leaving them behind you guys Let me know would you have grabbed the scissors and do you guys pick up buttons? Has anybody sold buttons for big money? I Know that Noel farm girl scavenger Noel sells buttons. I think she actually collects buttons also So those patches that was a little baggy of patches and they were Girl Scout patches And I brought those to whatnot and those sold over there on auction. I think that was I May have put those in my toy show that I did They just happened to be in the toy bag. So I sold them Not really a toy, but I guess I don't know somebody could put them on a vest for their kids So kind of a toy these right here can have good comps always look these up if you see them The condition of these was not that great So I went ahead and left them behind because they were sort of a heavy item and if I was going to pick those up I would want them to be in really nice condition Maybe I should have grabbed them. I probably left some money behind But you know you pick and choose and you decide in that split moment. What you're gonna do All right, let's keep digging here By the way, you can see that I am using a tote that is my shopping cart There was a period of time where our bends was super super short on carts If you weren't like the first seven or eight into the door You did not have a cart and I think this day if I remember correctly The person before me got a cart and then that was it So I ran over and I looked for a big tote and that was my shopping cart So it was definitely better than nothing because nothing is impossible There was one day when I couldn't find a tote and I just asked for a bag and They gave me at one of the big Goodwill bags and I shopped and just threw my items in that but That makes things really hard. That was a Duplo Lego. It's obviously a replacement piece What I typically do with my Duplo Legos is I put them in lots and I will sell them as a small lot Now this thing right here has little letters that goes into it I think that's the thing and I have sold the letters as replacement letters before so always be on the lookout for those Replacement letters. They do really well. They're like little blocks right there. These are Bob the builder and I Did not test them because I didn't have any of the small batteries So I am just selling them as untested. Look at that thing. Would you guys have got that? That would have been so heavy. I thought about it and I'm like, you know, what that's probably gonna cost me a lot of money I don't know if like as far as weight I probably could have negotiated the weight if it's a really heavy item They may have given me half off or something like that just depends on who's working Sometimes they don't allow discounts on certain items But I didn't know if it would work, you know, if it had a hole in it Like why was it donated? Did somebody just get sick of it or was it damaged because a lot of times people will Send their damaged items to the Goodwill. I'm not sure why they do that But they will and then, you know, you get home same with puzzles and games Always missing pieces always missing parts you get home and you're like, okay I'm gonna list this and then the game is missing something. So that is when you can part it out So if you part out games, let me know down in the comments. How do you do with that? Do you enjoy doing that? I feel like I Enjoy parting things out sometimes but for me, it's very very time-consuming I have done really well with certain things like I did a Ninja Turtle play set I've done connects and what I have found is when you part items out Some of the items sell very quickly and other items take a long long long time to sell But I will say that typically in most cases if you part it out and sell the items Individually you will make more money than you would have if you would have kept it whole but I know also a lot of people Will keep things in the original condition if they get it and it's new and ready to go They won't part it out because they want to keep it as a set Let me know which person you are in the comments. Do you part it out or do you keep it whole? I will part things out if it's already Missing pieces same thing with like doll houses and stuff like that if they are damaged and in poor condition I Sell the windows I sell the doors You guys have seen me pull those off of doll houses that I find at the bends because they're already incomplete and Most people are not going to buy an incomplete house, but they will buy the windows They will buy the door they will buy the steps I have taken doll houses completely apart and sold those things that was Norwex Norwex is an awesome brand, but it is direct sales so I'm pretty sure that The rules of the company are that you cannot list those items on platforms That's how most direct sales companies are So I would recommend anything that is direct sales Make sure that you check to see if it is a Vero or an eBay Policy violation like on the list because those items will get removed and you will get penalties on your account. I Have a whole series of videos that talk about Veros and policy violations That members of my Bolo buddies Facebook group have shared So if you got is want to learn about things not to list on eBay definitely check that out That was an old wooden top. I have not listed it yet I'm really not sure how to list it, but I think you take a string and wrap it around it Did you guys see that mirror? Can you believe that that mirror was intact? Oh my goodness I sat it up high to the side because I didn't want somebody to break it Here are a bunch of little transformer pieces I thought about buying these and selling them as a lot of Incomplete for replacements and parts, but decided to leave them behind I just wasn't in the mood you guys know how it is, but yeah, some of those I'm guessing probably somebody is looking for those pieces and I definitely probably could have sold them But I wasn't sure which Transformers they were and if you guys have been watching me for a while, you know that I struggle with transformers. Oh my goodness, they are So hard for me to figure out Even like the three-step ones I struggle with so I ended up leaving those behind Guessing some of you are screaming at the phone or your device or whatever you're watching your TV right now saying I would have grabbed those But that's what's great about being who you are We all get to sell what we want and do what we want and do what makes us happy So I always say if I don't like to list it I'm not gonna pick it up because it's just gonna sit in my money pile And that's something I'm trying to do more of is be more selective about what I pick up And if I don't enjoy listing it Don't pick it up like I do not like to ship breakables So I have a tendency to leave those behind this guy I picked up and he's probably gonna be a little annoying to ship because I don't have to find the right box This sold on what not I had that in the buy it now. It's a little fireplace that lights up super cute The items that I'm putting in my buy it now or my marketplace on what not I'm trying to price very Competitively to draw new people to my what not so if people are searching what not for items they could find my what not and See that I have buy it now's and see that I do auctions and then they may follow me and come to one of my auctions So having things in your buy it now is important I have probably sold four or five things from my buy it now section But I have sold many many more from my buy it now section during my live show When I'm doing my auctions So if you're alive doing an auction on what not and you have things in your buy it now You can include those in your show and people will get discounted shipping on The items that they buy from the buy it now So definitely keep your buy it now stuffed if you are selling on what not and add those items to your show because people will Buy items from the buy it now Again, I'm trying to put things really fair prices in my buy it now section to encourage people to buy Multiple items from me if that makes sense if I had that item listed on eBay it would be priced higher So it's kind of a marketing tool to grow my what not business So if you guys are selling on what not that might be a little tip that will be helpful for you So yes, you can sell on what not and just do marketplace just buy it now You don't have to do auctions and I feel like what not as a platform is going to continue to grow And I also feel like marketplace on what not is something that is going to be up and coming You know, I think that more people are going to start searching on what not for items Like they do on eBay and Poshmark and McCurry and Depop and Grailed and all of those other Marketplace style platforms where you're doing buy it now's or best offers So definitely something to consider. It's still very new So maybe a good idea to get your foot in the door while it's still early I do have a sellers link down below where you can join with a referral link and It says that Bolo buddies referred you and you may get accepted quicker. All right, you guys We are about done digging for this video. Check out some of my other Goodwill Benz videos this one I didn't find a whole lot.
