 Hey, hello buddies. Thanks for watching. Okay, so Lockdown where to source? Where do we get inventory? I? Don't need inventory if you guys watched my video with all of my inventory You guys know that I have probably enough inventory that I could list for a year. I have crazy amounts of inventory however Not everybody is crazy like me and buys everything all through the summer and just stockpiles it So in this situation, it's good to have a lot of inventory, but For those of you that don't have a lot of inventory there are resources Places that you can buy stuff online Some of the things that I like to do is I like to shop on eBay to resell on eBay, and I if you guys saw my jewelry haul I bought a junk drawer Jewelry lot and it ended up being like 344 pounds of jewelry and you can get the whole story about that and how it Transpired it wasn't like it was 344 pounds of jewelry on eBay. It kind of was a small sale that ended up turning into a big sale But I did it all through eBay. So if you guys are interested in hearing more about that. It's on my Monday night Not Monday night my Monday video series. So I bought it on eBay to sell on eBay So go check that out. You can see when I went to pick it up. You can also see when I weighed it all I had no idea it was 344 pounds. You can find out what I paid for it, and then I'm doing unboxings I'm starting to do jewelry testing and different things on my Monday series. So check that out So sourcing I like to source on eBay to sell on eBay I know lots of other sellers do it more than me resellers a lot of people source on Facebook if you join Facebook groups a lot of the admin are coordinating things where they're starting a Post and they're allowing people to post inventory And it's sort of like a special occasion thing because of what's going on I know Dominic the prime time treasure hunter. I think I saw in his group where he's doing it And that is the resellers resource center if you look that up on Facebook and then I know I saw a post in the boss-up group that Katie and Vicky are the admin of one of the admin of that group I know they're doing it in that group because I saw Some of the people from my Bolo buddies Facebook group that had posted some of their lots that they were willing to sell to other resellers So, yeah Facebook groups check out those two Facebook groups They're fantastic, and I know they're doing that and I'm sure there's other Facebook groups that are doing it Also, those are just two that I saw recently All right, so I'm gonna take you into eBay with a screen share and just kind of give you Some little tricks and tips of how I look for things when I'm sourcing on eBay so I'm just gonna go into eBay and I'm gonna put in junk drawer lot and I'm gonna go to ending soonest and You can go by lowest Let's go let's go with ending soonest so this has 17 minutes So basically I just am filtering that way and I'm looking for junk drawer lot So this is Mechanical pencils pens erasers, and it's a big lot. It's 1999 plus shipping So you got to be careful. You don't want to overpay for things. I'm gonna zoom in here So these are just some of the different things and Again, you're gonna see a lot of literally junk I Like doing ending soonest because you might be able to like get something really cheap like this is 1950 Plus shipping it has two hours left, but it doesn't say how many pounds So, you know, you can click on it and go in and actually Like try to dig a little deeper and see it looks like it's just one flat row So it's probably not a Substantial amount. Let's see. Oh, it's nine and a half pounds But it does say repurpose scrap Junk drawer repair jewelry. So there's probably not gonna be a lot of wearable pieces in this lot Let's see what else we can find so, you know For those of you that collect and resell vintage and antiques, you know, you might look at something like this and be like Oh, I could sell that for this price and you know, it might be worth it. Now margins may not be as Thing that I like to do is I liked okay, so let's just say example I'm not saying this is a good deal. I mean if you look here, it's $54 and 80 cents for shipping Which I have no idea why it would be so much I Mean it's not that big of a lot unless there's I don't know Let's see Stand not included Some items may be signed some may be broken tangled. I mean, where is it located? Georgia? Why is it $54 for shipping? So you guys always look at the shipping because sometimes people inflate the prices of shipping But let's go in to see sellers other items So I always go in and see what else they're selling and if they're selling a bunch of jewelry I Am guessing that the items have been sorted through and picked through and they have picked out the best stuff so let's go to let's just type in jewelry and You can see that they've got a few things but like most of it is lots And I'm wondering if that's an error because that shipping doesn't seem bad So it looks like They're not jewelry resellers, so they're just lauding the stuff up and they're selling it to other resellers now Is the stuff good? No clue. I mean you're really gonna have to zoom in and look but that's just an example of what I do to try to filter out Maybe resellers that are just selling the items that they don't want to list individually And I'm not saying that there's not so money to be made if somebody sells jewelry Because they may just be picking out the gold and the silver and a lot of the costume stuff They may just sell in like wholesale lots So there can still be money to be made like maybe it's just bread and butter items But if you have 25 necklaces that you can sell for $10 each that's $250 and you pay $25 with free shipping. I mean those are good margins So like right here, this is an assorted junk draw junk drawer lot So you just have to kind of go in and actually look at the items maybe look up comps Again, if you look at what the sellers are selling If it's somebody that sells vintage and antiques, you know, they're probably gonna pull the high dollar stuff and then lot up the other stuff for Resellers that maybe want bread and butter items definitely can still make money guys. I understand that the thrift stores are closing It's not easy to get out right now and source. I mean the governor is telling everybody to stay in At least in Ohio so, you know, you got to look for other places to source and eBay's a good place to source go to Mercari go to Poshmark look up junk drawer lot. You can also look up If you're a clothing reseller clothing lot Let's just kind of see I'm gonna put in like huge clothing lot and see if we get anything else Okay, so this is paper dolls. Well, yeah, that's not really what I'm looking for but huge lot of name-brand clothes So $12 are best offer, but I don't see shipping prices, which is weird So you can look that way again, it is gonna take some time. Here's Barbie clothes if you like To sell Barbie clothes So you buy a lot of it and then you sort it and you sell them in small lots or individually Now I would be looking for vintage Barbie clothes if I was looking probably not the modern stuff gonna bring you It's probably not gonna bring you The margins that you're looking for but there's definitely things that you can look up you can look up vintage toy lot and People might miss something, you know, they might Not know about something that you know about so here's brats So there's toy lots. There's clothing lots But you know filtering it down is the hard part and finding the lots that have some resell value You can also search by lowest price So I'm let's let's go back to junk drawer So lowest price, but this is the lowest price, but it still has six days But you can go in you can click on that and you can watch the item and you know You'll get an alert on your phone that says this item is ending soon And then you can decide based on what it's at if you want to bid on it like this one's 99 cents But it has a buy it now of 2499 and dollar shipping So it's you know, just different vintage men's items So there's people that do coins There's you know, there's so many different types of junk drawer lots and you can maybe try typing in wholesale a lot I don't know. I like junk drawer because I feel like it pulls up a good variety of things And it's kind of fun to just look and that's how I found my junk drawer lot. So Another way to source is YouTube Donatella Botolino she does Online YouTube auctions So basically you go to her channel When she's having an auction and she is auctioning off stuff that she gets from storage units she also gets items from like a Forget what it's called. It's like a person that sells her stuff not pallets Like she bulk buys from from places. So Storage units are amazing place to get items and she doesn't want to list it all individually on eBay So what she does is she lots these items up and she brings them to you on YouTube and then you buy directly from YouTube Auctions for you is another site that does this and she works hand-in-hand with Donatella So sometimes they're on T's channel, which is auctions for you and then they're also on Donatella's channel. I have both of their YouTube channels linked down below in the description of the video Again, they mostly sell lots of items, which are great for resellers now Sometimes you can get a bolo. Sometimes you can get bread and butter It just really depends on what they're auctioning off that night and then they also sell a lot of stuff That's great for personal use sourcing on Mercari is Also a great way to source I know tons of people that you can set up alerts on your phone for Mercari And then when somebody lists something in that category, Mercari will send you a A Alert so that's always nice and then you know Poshmark's a little more tricky I'm trying to pull up something here on my channel I Don't know. I can't see really sourcing on Poshmark just because It's it's not really I don't know. They do have mystery boxes Another one is thread up. I know there's a lot of resellers that purchased Purchase items from thread up They have I've seen resellers by shoes. I've seen people buy Whoops, that's not what I wanted to do Sorry, just a second. I'm on another screen trying to pull something up for you guys Jeans jeans I see a lot of pipe people buying jeans from thread up flipping hippos has a lot of videos That She buys from thread up. Sorry. I was totally like Working behind the scenes here to pull up something else for you guys to see So I wanted to show you guys this This is my playlist for I bought a junk drawer lot on eBay to sell on eBay over a hundred pounds So you guys can check out that video and then here is where I weigh it and Then this is an unboxing that I did of some of the items Here's another unboxing another unboxing. Here's some wood jewelry. I got and This one I'm getting I think this will be released Before I release this video. So this one is a I'll probably release this one Monday the diamonds I found diamonds on Monday, so And I'll probably list this one that I'm doing now on Tuesday So go watch the I found diamonds video and I didn't find the diamonds in my bulk buy from eBay but I did use my new gemstone tester to test and I Found diamonds. I'm so excited Yeah, it's a lot of fun so Again, I was not planning on buying 344 pounds of jewelry. Oh my goodness It just kind of worked out and that's another thing if you watch the I'm not sure I think it's in the one where I weigh it. I kind of tell you how that all transpired and how I ended up getting 344 pounds So it's a it's a little learning trick tip. I've never done it before but it ended up working out So check that video out and Again, these are just a few ways to source during a lockdown Yeah, use your resources We have lots of resources there's lots of ways and it's shipped to your door that way you're staying home You're staying safe. You're getting good inventory that you can still resell and You know, I don't know. What do you think comment below? I'm sure you guys know of other ways to source online So I think people do goodwill.com, but I'm sure that goodwill.com is completely Like overwhelmed with people like buying from there right now I'm trying to think what that one's called What is it called everything but the house? I don't know if there's really stuff that you can buy to resell, but there could be might be a place to check Yeah, so where where are you guys sourcing if you have any other tips comment below in the description Down in the comment section and be sure to like comment subscribe and share Thank you for watching and I'll see you guys soon.
