 Hey, Bolo buddies. Thanks for watching. I just happened to sell this item and I was Messaging with a friend and she's like I've never heard of that. So I'm thinking maybe One of you haven't heard about it. So first off, we're gonna talk about it as a category and different Bolo's That are in that category and then we're gonna go into the one I sold and we're gonna talk about Pricing how did I price it? Did I price it right? Did I price it on the high end the low end? Which platform did it sell on? Why do I think it's sold on that platform different questions like that that you may have? How do I ship it all of those things? I'm gonna talk about. So let's get started with the actual category and See what the biggest money selling items are in that category All right, so the first item here or what we're talking about is the big comfy couch and Right here the standout thing that you are gonna see is the red nose if you see a red nose Grab that item and look it up. If it is cheap I always say grab it and run but pay for it first So this might be an item that you could find at a garage sale a thrift store even in a state sale You can find these items anywhere if I remember correctly. I got mine from the Goodwill bins So I probably had a dollar or less in it So what I did not know when I started this category video is the different characters I was familiar with this little lady right here. However, I've never seen this guy or this gal None of those these things So there are more characters that are a bolo Then just the one I knew about so this is also helping to educate myself I am over on Mercari right now and you're gonna see that Mercari has big money bolo's a lot of times people say that Mercari's a garage sale app. You can't sell things for big money over there. I Tend to disagree especially with plush. I feel like sometimes plush sells for more on Mercari Because a lot of times the items are flooded on eBay and those items There's less on Mercari and a lot of people that shop on Mercari do not shop on eBay I also say that people use their credits from selling on Mercari to buy on Mercari So if I sell on Mercari my money goes into a little pot and eBay is now doing this And I can spend that money on Mercari or I can withdraw it and take it out and put it into my bank account So that is optional for me. And again eBay is now doing this you guys Let me know down in the comments is anybody using that feature so If somebody has money in their Mercari account, they may just choose to spend it on Mercari instead of pulling the money And then looking elsewhere So let's go through and kind of look at some of these characters This guy right here sold for three hundred and forty nine dollars another reason I like to look at solds on Mercari is because They don't have returns and a sale is a sale Typically there's very few cases where people can return an item or Cancel in order. I mean it does happen. I don't know if it stays in the solds if it is actually cancelled now We all know on eBay If you cancel a transaction, it is still in the solds if it's an unpaid item It is still in the solds which can be really confusing when you're searching comp So a good place to look for comparables is on Mercari another good reason to be on the platform Even if it's just for research I do have a link down below that you can use that you will get ten dollars to shop It's my referral link and if you sell a hundred dollars worth of stuff You get another twenty dollars to shop. So that's thirty dollars total for using the platform and Signing up to join. So if you want to use that referral link, it's down below. I appreciate it I also get a credit to shop and we all love free money, right? Just invest in your business maybe buy something and resell it and then turn that 30 into even more Alright, so let's look we've got granny and it looks like garbanzo and then I'm not sure what this one says lunette. Maybe Not sure but three characters here. I think her name is Molly if I remember. Yes, Molly So here you go three hundred dollars three hundred and fifteen There's this guy again for three hundred. She went for two hundred and two hundred here now having the original tag is going to increase the value of your item in most cases and Size of plush definitely matters here We have fuzzy and wuzzy those went for a hundred and eighty eight in the original packaging again going to bring the value of your item up So definitely be on the lookout for the red nose now this one says this is the couch So there you go if you ever see this couch it looks like it sold for a hundred and thirty seven here and a hundred and fourteen here This looks like grandma a hundred and fifteen So yeah, definitely Here's the two Dust bunnies. I think is what they're calling them ninety dollars. How fun is this category? Definitely definitely and it looks like there's a cat so here is Is that a cat? 78 there I think it's a cat or maybe it's a dog. I don't know But seventy five dollars, but again the red nose the red nose is the key thing That is going to make this item stand out if you're digging through a bunch of plush. All right, so let's go over to eBay and I'm going to search highest to low I am not going in to confirm any of these sales, but it looks like this is the big comfy couch sofa set from 1997 and Exclusive sold at Target again you guys when things are exclusive that's going to bring the value up So lunette molly fuzzle wuzzle. I'm sorry fuzzy wuzzy and snickle frets Are who are included in this and then I believe Molly. Oh wait, it does say Molly Let's see. So I don't see the grandma in here Here is major bedhead this guy 199 here. All right, so 199 99 for the 22 inch plush and What was he selling for over on Mercari? It looks like he went for I Think this is the same guy 349 and 300 but there's also one here for a hundred and ninety nine I mean, we can keep scrolling down and see people that undersold it 84 and The sizes I can't really see without going into the listing. So they may have different sizes. The one I sold was nine inches All right, so here's the granny. She's in the original packaging 199 159 right here So it looks like this guy sold for more on Mercari So if you have him on eBay, you might want to think about getting him over to Mercari Here is the cat, but that one is in Canada Let's see. So we've got a 24 inch jumbo. They took a best offer from 119 This one is 14 inches. So I'm gonna show you guys what I got for my nine inch They're calling it a rag doll Here is snicker snickle fritz snickle fritz. Am I saying that right? 112 so 112 for that on eBay. I think it went for more on eBay see one down here for 55 Some of this also is people not doing their research and not knowing the value of their items. So Definitely always always look up solds She's got some additional things here. Wonder what those are they little hair bows, maybe All right, so you can kind of see the prices that these are going for Big money definitely So here is the nine inch We're gonna specifically talk about the nine inch beanbag plush because that is what I sold And I want to see if you guys think that I sold it for a good a good price Did I undersell it? Did I do well and Here we go, and I believe I got mine at the Ben's I'd have to go back and look But I'm pretty sure it was the good will Ben's it'll be in a future what sold video So here is Molly the nine inch plush She is in her original packaging here for 135 and I'm gonna tell you what I sold mine for so just hang tight 125 I will tell you I sold mine on Mercari faster. It was cross posted and it sold faster on Mercari 125 for the set of three and Molly is 16 inches. So that's not really a good comparable. I had the nine inch Molly. Okay? Here in the original packaging a hundred bucks approximately 94 for the set 73 for the two pieces here. So you got lunette and Molly nine inch seventy three dollars Molly looks like she had a haircut here 62 and Again, I'm not confirming that all of these sold. So that is something that is important to do especially on eBay nine inch 65 plus shipping 59 for the two that looks like the same listing. So I'm guessing Somebody bought it. They didn't pay they relisted it and it sold again And if you look at the dates August 7th, it sold probably didn't pay They relisted it and it sold August 26th. So seeing these two side-by-side is a good way to know that this was an unpaid item That's one thing when you're doing research that you can look at but Sometimes they're not always right next to each other like that 59.99 for the nine inch or no wait nine and a half inch on this one and Another one here This one kind of looks most like mine 60 bucks plus shipping 60 cross-through. Okay. So we've looked at the nine inch Molly over here on eBay. Let's go over to Mercari $80 and that one I did check was plus shipping So this is the highest sold on eBay. This one is not new with tags This one is not in its original packaging I want to say I had mine listed at 90 and I took a best offer of 75 right here is my listing so I am in the top three solds on Mercari and Definitely if you look over here at eBay for the nine inch. I am on the higher end. I made more money selling this on Mercari then I did on eBay. It also sold faster on Mercari. Here's a nine inch They took a best offer. We would have to go into Terapeak and actually see what this one sold But mine sold for 75. I did have free shipping on it now another question that I get a lot is how did you ship your item and Specifically for this one because it was a $75 item. I went ahead and put this one in a box now this has sewn eyes and is just a plush easily I could have put this in a poly mailer, but because it was a higher dollar item I went ahead and boxed it, but I ship plush all the time in bubble mailers And if they have plastic eyes I usually put additional bubble wrap over the eyes and then just put it into a poly mailer that is Padded I use the padded ones You could also bubble wrap the plush and put it in a regular poly mailer. That's completely up to you Or a box is a fine option But the question I get most is do you bag it or do you box it and really it just depends on the item? I decided to box this one. Do I think it would have been okay going in a poly mailer? Absolutely. All right, so I am on the high end of solds for Molly the nine inch Molly 65 here 59 57 53 51 42 One thing that I will mention to you guys is I am a patient reseller. I list it and forget it I had this listed for I believe 90 somebody actually bought it and The transaction failed The payment did not go through so I messaged them and I said go ahead and fix your payment info and submit your offer again Well, I did not hear back for a couple days and somebody else reached out to me and asked what my lowest price was I said 75 because I had just sold it for more than 75, but the transaction failed So I wanted to stick firm at $75 on this So that is what I decided to do. You're going to see other prices like look $15 $19 $20 $25 There are people that will go on to these platforms and somebody may be willing to pay $25 for this Relisted at 75 and wait for the right buyer now or let's see. What's the top-selling one? $80 $80 plus shipping is the top one So I could buy this for $25 on Mercari and I could sit and wait and hold out for the $80 plus shipping It is definitely possible to shop on Platforms, but you may have to pay a little more now this one right here. I don't think she the lunette I don't think she was going for as much but I Think I also have Let's see. Let's go back over here to Mercari and well, I mean right here. She's $55 she sold for we're back on Mercari So again, I like looking at solds on Mercari because I know the item sold But here's both of them for 60. So what do you guys think did I price my item? Well, did I make good money is being patient the way to go? Here's one that sold for 65 Here's one that sold for 65. I think I did well I priced it on the higher end and I waited for the right buyer for my item. So Yes, you can race to the bottom and be the lowest and maybe you'll sell it quicker Or maybe somebody will think there's something wrong with your item because you have it too cheap But definitely definitely always do your research on what the items are selling for research is really really important Yeah, so $75 free shipping on Mercari My old items sold faster on Mercari in this scenario. I talked to you guys all the time about getting your plush on Mercari I love the platform plush jewelry Any just stuffed animals in general but toys also do well on Mercari So getting your items cross-posted. I feel is really important. There are other platforms I've actually been seen a lot of Etsy vintage plush on Etsy people are doing really well and I keep saying if I had more hours in the day I would be getting my vintage plush over on Etsy I do use list perfectly to cross-post. I start my items on eBay and then I cross-post to the other platforms now What I recommend is starting your item in list perfectly. This is if you're like I Will just say Overwhelmed would be a good word for how much I have going on with my reselling I'm now doing about six shows on whatnot so That's a week six shows on whatnot. I'm trying to keep up with YouTube. I'm trying to keep up with eBay And cross-posting so it is a lot if you are only a reseller you don't have YouTube you don't have whatnot Definitely definitely cross-post.

Let's go back to list perfectly. So if you're not Doing YouTube a video a day and all of that jazz and You have time to be on more than three platforms. I Think about Etsy. Definitely think about Etsy a Lot of people are doing depop and grailed I did grailed for a little while But I don't really do a whole lot of vintage clothing. I was putting my snapback hats over there So depending on what you sell research the platforms and feel out what is a great platform for you I think grailed and depop are a lot of clothes and Vintage items in those categories street wear stuff like that Let me know down in the comments if you sell on those platforms if you've had success and all of that if there was one other Platform that I would branch out to with what I sell it would be Etsy and again I sold on Etsy and I like it, but just not enough hours in the day I focus on eBay Poshmark and Mercari for my three main platforms of reselling List perfectly so I start on the plot on eBay and cross post to the other platforms again I recommend starting on list perfectly and hitting as many platforms as you can There is a link down below That you can check out that shows you how to use the catalog which means listing into list perfectly and also how to do it like I do it and There are way more perks to using the catalog than doing it how I do it So even though I do it how I do it. I recommend actually doing it the other way But I just don't have enough hours in the day to do it that way because I already have my base of I think four or five thousand listings in eBay, so I don't want to recreate and Start over and start fresh because I'm one of those people that I don't want half my listings one way and half another way I would have to stop and Relist all those items into the catalog and I just I don't have the time to do it right now I know other resellers have done it and They've had success with it.

So thank you guys so much for being here Thank you for watching. Yes, you can sell plush on Poshmark Have I sold plush on Poshmark? I I think so I'd have to go look I know I have plush listed there my go-to for plush is definitely eBay and Mercari and I always say if it is a plush that is You can't find any others like it try an auction first on eBay and listed high and put it up for auction Especially those realistic animals. They seem to do really really well on eBay auction But if it doesn't sell on auction then cross post it for sure and price it high and wait on the right buyer if you're patient Okay. All right, you guys. Thank you so much for being here. Thank you for watching Be sure to like comment subscribe and share and I will see you at the next one
