 Hey fellow buddies. Thanks for watching. All right in this video We are gonna talk about plush, but not just any plush all of these plush are gonna have one thing in common And I think this is really important to understand and it's not always about the brand Sometimes it's about this one key word Hey fellow buddies. Thanks for watching Amazing, right? All right, let's get started. All right, let's get started Okay, fellow buddies, this was not going to be a video about photo room and it still is not but you're gonna see some pictures And I'm gonna show you why photo room is important In the video, you're gonna hear me say It's either 10% off or you get $10 So if you use my referral code down below, you are gonna get 10% off your yearly subscription Here is the price $69.99 for the year That's it for the whole year and you get 10% off if you use my link down below So so worth it. Check out this demo and you're gonna see in this video Why I think a white background is so important All right, so what is that key word? Does it have to be in the title? Is it helpful if it's in the title? So personally, I think it is helpful if it is in the title I think people search this word. Do I think it's necessary to sell your item for big money? No, and I'm gonna give you an example of why I don't think it's necessary But we're just gonna start and work our way through some big money plush and some of these Oh my goodness, you guys just wait just wait All right, let's start with the first one here. Has anybody guessed what that keyword is yet? The keyword is realistic, okay, so of course most people are not looking for their pet Realistic dinosaur like a lot of times people I'm gonna tell you are gonna look for items that look like their pets This one is a dinosaur. So come on. It can be realistic But nobody has a pet dinosaur. So this one I picked because it had realistic in the title and Dinosaurs can usually do pretty good. This one is by FAO Shorts and it sold for a hundred and thirty dollars. Now if I am showing you the item on eBay It means that I have went in and verified the item with feedback and it was a good sale Looking up items on eBay to find out if they really sold or really didn't sell is pretty tricky And we're gonna move into Mercari and Poshmark, which you're gonna see me do a lot in future videos because We'll talk about that when we get there. All right, so this dinosaur is 27 inches tall It sold on auction with one bid for a hundred and thirty dollars plus shipping Now this one here is by JAG it's a realistic discontinued Fox and it seems like the Fox the wolf The different animals like that seem to do really well So if you see them definitely look them up, but you're gonna see all sorts of brands This is not limited to a certain brand The key word is that they look realistic and that people want them this one sold for a hundred and fifty dollars plus shipping and Right here this brand I kept seeing over and over again lots of big money ones on eBay But I could not verify them with feedback So I didn't show you them, but this one I did verify this one right here on the tag It says E and J classics if I picked this up at a garage sale I'm not sure I would think too much of it But E and J seems to be a really good plush brand. They do seem to be bigger plush and Realistic looking again people want things that look like they're animals. This is a Burmese dog. It's 32 inches so that one sold for a hundred and forty nine dollars plus shipping and And Personally like I'm a photo room girl. I like a white background This one's okay, but the one with the fan in it like I I just think this would pop more with a white background You can do I think it's 50 at a time on photo room I signed up before so I can do a little bit more before they changed it But what you do is you do them in bulk So you get all your pictures done and then you can do 50 at a time It just filters out the background and gives you a white crisp background and you're ready to go and it is gonna make your item I believe look more professional if you guys are interested in checking out photo room I do have a link down in the description if you sign up for the year the yearly subscription. I think you get oh Goodness, I can't remember. Is it ten percent off or ten dollars off? I don't know It's down in the description. You guys can check it out if you're interested great If not no worries, but I want you to know that discount code It's my referral code is down in the description for you guys if you want to try it for a year It's really not that expensive for the whole year Okay, so I went over this one was actually a best offer was taken So what I did is I went over to terror peak and I went and I copied Word for word. I just cut and pasted Into the title or the search box here and that pulled up the item for me and I can tell that they sold this for a hundred dollars So best offer of a hundred dollars on this E and J dog This one here is an FAO Schwartz again This one is a wolf. So we saw the fox and now we're seeing the wolf this one sold for $250 and that is what the tag looks like and again very realistic looking animal realistic in the title Here's the Fox it's sold for $349.99 it's a 27 inch plush here is your tag and It's just incredible that they I mean most people would walk right past these items. Don't do that. Look them up. Look them up Look at this Rare FAO Schwartz again wolf. It's the wolf's wolf's wolves. I think it's wolves Wolf wolves wolves is plural, right? Come on Courtney Toys Russ. So these are toys Russ. Look how cool they are and Again, I feel like a white background would be better But who am I to say anything because they sold these for one thousand dollars? Yes, $1,000 for a pair of plush. Can you believe it and Let me go in to the feedback If you go over here, this is how you can verify and I don't even I would type in realistic right here But I don't need to because it's their top sale or their top feedback adorable plush wolves beautiful condition very happy with my purchase Thank you. This was a good legit sale $1,000 for two stuffed animals This one is a cally shelter dog. How cute is this 26 inch? Realistic again, probably somebody looking for something that looks like their puppy $99.99 plus shipping this one here is a st. Bernard plush. It's 36 inches big 202 50 on this how cute it looks like the nose even is all worn off It used to have a black nose and it's still sold for two hundred and two dollars that nose looks so funny Oh my goodness, but it's just adorable All right, this next one comes from farm girl scavenger. No, well if you have never heard of her channel if you watch me I know you've heard of her channel, but she is incredible She is a big money Bolo finder and she talks about big money Bolo's on her channel go and sub her up but also follow her on Instagram because she does a great job of showing you her what solds in like real reel format and Picture format over on Instagram. So you would definitely learn a ton over there as well What did no, well sell she sold this dakin plaything soft classics sheepdog plush stuffed animal toy So this is where I'm telling you you do not have to put realistic in the title This person was looking for a sheepdog and they found it and no, well had it She sold this for $67.99 plus shipping, but not only did she sell that one But she sold this extra large one. This one is by fine toy company. It's an old English sheepdog plush. It is Again, she did not use realistic in the title, but this is a realistic looking item I talked about earlier in the video It was either this video or another one that I did about showing pictures of the eyes Collectors want to see that the eyes are free of scratches and clear especially if they're playing big money for the items So if there's any imperfections or any issues include that in your description and show photos of the eyeballs Also show a photo of the tag and any other important information But this item is incredible. She sold over two hundred and thirty nine dollars and ninety nine cents plus shipping Alright, oh my goodness, so we are now over here on Mercari and this is just I love it this is a handsome giant snow leopard mama and I Wondering if they put realistic somewhere I Don't know. I don't see realistic. I don't know why this one popped up when I typed it in but I put in realistic plush So it's got to say it somewhere. I know that on Mercari Whatever you put in the title if it is in the description also, it will pick it up But I just want you guys to look at this animal It is incredible now on this one. I don't mind this background I mean the box is a little funky. Maybe I would have sat it up on the rocks But it kind of gives it that like outdoor feel so that's kind of fun But then you get the box and I'm like, oh, please use photo room. Oh my goodness But how cool is this item? It is incredible Incredible so another big money Bolo. It's like these outdoor wild cats the fox the wolf this thing Just crazy. Okay, so here is a webcam signature timber wolf this one sold for 207 and signature The signature is a different brand you can see the bottom of the foot It has more of a yellow look to it and I did a video on these Definitely go check out that video because it will knock off your socks. I'm not kidding You'll be like you'll get done watching it and you'll be like, where are my socks? Where did they go? Seriously? Oh my goodness incredible. All right. Look at this vintage realistic stif bunny I will say that stif is an incredible brand and If you find it definitely pick it up. It looks like it's got the little tag in the ear But maybe the part that says stif is missing Um, it does say this has been sanitized with an o-zone UV sterilizer then immediately placed into a sealed plastic bag for your protection Wow, okay Not sure what that means, but that is fancy. All right. So that one is stif is a great brand to look up And I would say that definitely looks realistic The next item is this folk monus huge tiger full body hand puppet realistic Folk monus is an incredible brand to look for they are hand puppets They range from bread and butter to big money. This one is very big. This one sold for $149 plus shipping This one right here is an animal alley baby monkey and I feel like I have one of these Actually two of these from my childhood My sister had one and I had one, but I don't know if it's the same brand, but we still have them We hung on to them. You know how you have certain things that you hang on to and you're like, why am I hanging on to this? Um, yeah, well my my sister and I still have these they must have been special to us I don't know, but this one sold for $145. I guess I'm gonna have to check the tag and I might be selling those Sorry sis Somehow I got both of them. She's like will you hold this for me? Yeah, I sure I'll shove it in the closet All right, the next item is this douglas major german shepherd 32 inch dog Cuttle toy pup and look this is cool Now this definitely looks real again You're looking at an animal that looks like someone's pet Someone is looking for it $145 plus shipping So what I like about mercari is when I search solds on mercari and when I search solds on poshmark I know that the item sold because on mercari and poshmark It is immediate payment the payment payment is taken at the time of purchase It is held by the platform and it is released to you once the person leaves feedback Or once they've had it in their possession for three days. So there's no guessing did the item sell Yeah, it sold if it shows sold it sold. So it's really great for looking up comps I do have a link down in the description if you guys want to join mercari and poshmark They are referral links. So you will get credits to shop Mercari you get 10 bucks to shop when you join and then you get another 20 when you sell a hundred dollars worth of stuff And that's just free money to shop. You can buy something to resell. I've done that before Poshmark you get $10 to shop. So those are my referral links. They are down below I also get money to shop if you guys use them. So I appreciate it when you guys use them But uh, I recommend selling plush on mercari To me it really seems like it is a great platform for selling plush when I have done these plush videos I am seeing that items sell for more a lot of times on mercari than the other platforms So just from my research, I don't know that for sure. I've not checked every single plush in the world But on the research videos I have done. I have seen that it is very favorable to sell plush on mercari This one is an america kids of america corp huge old english sheepdog. This one is 56 inches big This one sold for 140 dollars. That is what the tag looks like It seems like if you can find a sheepdog you are in the money So don't pass these by 140 dollars plus shipping on that one The next item is this animal adventure cute soft red fox plush toy realistic laying down again a fox a wolf Um, Siberian husky all those different animals. This is a golden retriever a webcam signature This one sold for 137 dollars plus shipping What's nice about this one that I kind of like but I kind of don't like is this background noise Like what is all this in the background? This makes me think. Okay. This seller has more listed But is it confusing to the buyer? Are they thinking am I getting all of these? So Kind of tricky. I don't know. What do you guys think? I personally like to white out my background with photo room but To each their own right they sold this for 137 dollars plus shipping This is a gans webkin signature golden retriever dog plush sitting And again, I don't see realistic in the title, but when I typed in realistic plush um It it pulled this up. So this one sold for 125 dollars plus shipping and it is definitely Realistic looking this one is also a gans webkins signature And the signature tag on the foot is going to be gold in color those tend to go for more. So definitely be on the lookout This next item is a mary mire huge vintage bear from 1999. It is vintage It is awesome. And it sold for 100 bucks plus shipping mary mire is a great brand I've sold some of her little finger puppets that do really well. So be on the lookout for those as well Look at this. Okay. This is one time that I'm going to say I prefer this over the white background I wish they would have removed the plastic bag But this couch and putting this this tiger on it. Oh my goodness. That is so fancy And I just kind of love it. But uh, what do you guys think white background or do you prefer having? I don't know about this picture I don't know. I just like the white background Um, again, I I don't put things beside my animals to show size. I use a tape measure I I recommend using a tape measure now I've seen people use coins with dollhouse furniture and I think that's okay That doesn't bother me but like empty cans and empty bottles It's just confusing to me. I this does not really show me The size of this animal I I would use a tape measure And a lot of these again people on mercury and poshmark a lot of them are hobby sellers So they're just doing what they can and they're not really Trying to Make their pictures look the best. They are just looking to sell their items. So I don't know mercury and poshmark are different platforms than ebay on mercury It seems like anything goes not a whole lot of white backgrounds ebay white background white background white background They kind of push that poshmark A lot of items are laying on like fancy rugs and they kind of like fancy it up So if it's done in good taste, um, I I think it's okay But my preference is white background and not everyone's going to agree with me Let me know in the comments what you like and how you do it Like this this is a hot mess And if this is your listing, I am so sorry. I'm calling you out But all of this behind it. It's like, oh, I need to list this. This is my money pile right here sitting behind this dog So funny it sold for 180. It didn't matter that this was sitting back here But you could take photo room and wipe that out in like two seconds and just have a much better presentation on this item Oh my goodness. Oh, I don't mean to laugh. That's horrible. But anyway Uh, I don't know so Super, uh, big money. Bolo 180 dollars plus shipping on that The next item again, like you can see in their mirror their whole house. You can see their house Oh my goodness. I would not want everybody like seeing my house in my pictures Um, have you seen the facebook market marketplaces where people are taking pictures of mirrors and their whole bodies in the mirror And they're like trying to not be in the picture It's kind of something like that. Here is that e and j brand that I was talking about earlier It's the bernie's mountain dog. This one sold for 125 dollars and So easy to use photo room you guys just so easy. Please consider it if you're doing your photos like this. It's just I mean Their dogs in the background. It's just a much better more professional Presentation do you have to do it? No, but photo room is pretty inexpensive really easy to use and fast and If you want to do it again, I have a referral link down below And it's either 10 off or $10 off your first year That'll save you some money if you want to get started with it But if not, no worries, but at least try to get a white background or try to get the the stuff that is Making it harder to see your item out of the picture. Okay, that would be my suggestion Like this one's fine like not a white background, but they're attempting to have a white background It's got the cool brick behind it. It's on a white piece of paper. So it looks professional It looks like they tried you can't see their whole house. Now. I do understand with bigger plush. It is a little bit harder All right. So this one is e and j again. This one sold for 113 dollars plus shipping This one is a hansa creation papillone Tri-color, I don't know if I'm saying that right But again, this is a harder to find dog Probably somebody has this dog and they are looking for it This one sold over on posh mark for 110 dollars plus shipping Here's another sheep dog Again, you know, it's in their house. That's fine these pictures I mean everything looks tidy and it's not their moneypile sitting behind it They've got it on the floor. It kind of looks like oh look my dog's laying on the floor I do love this picture So I think this seller did an okay job for not using a white background and again posh mark has a little bit different style I think they're trying to show in this one that it's realistic It looks real look at it sitting on the back of my couch They show the tongue And they show it laying on the pillows. So I kind of get this one. I mean, oh my goodness This looks legit. I absolutely love this photo right here But everything is clean and tidy and you can tell they staged it So that is the difference between posh mark and what we were seeing on mercari. I think this is okay Right here, you just cannot fit this whole thing on this photo But again, they're going for the white background But if you took photo room, you could white this out so easy and you would just see the stuffed animal This one is an octopus a fiesta is sold for $85 plus shipping on posh mark All right, let's go back over here and Noelle Farm girl scavenger. She doesn't she doesn't do the white background but again her Her photos are professional. They don't have a lot of stuff in the background. It's solid You can see the item clearly That's what you want if you do not want to pay for a photo app You want to make sure That your item has some this is noelle's also some sort of nice background Some people hate the white backgrounds. They don't agree with me. They think that the white background is They don't like it. They think it looks like the item is floating This right here is a really nice background. So that works also But I think you should do something so so that you're showcasing your item and this turned into a video about backgrounds So I apologize for that That was not my intent with this video, but I would love to hear your feedback down in the comments Okay, i'm in the photo room app and I have screenshot the photos from this video of the ones that I felt like would look better with a white background So i've got them all pulled up. I am going to click on each one And as you can see it is whiteing out the background now the one that's sitting on the box We have to fix that one and i'm going to show you how to fix it. It's super super easy But first i'm going to save all of these images. So these images are now saved. I'm going to go into Over here. I'm going to look for ebay. I'm going to click on that And this is how you do a single picture if you want to do an edit I'm going to click on the one with the box. It's going to white it out again There may be an easier way to do this But you're going to edit cut out and i'm going to erase the box. So right there. I erased it I'm going to hit done and I have my picture ready to go in most cases It deletes everything out for you. But if not, that's how you do it All right, you guys, thank you so much for being here. Thank you for watching If you're new and you're doing some of these things don't be offended We all started out in that same way. I remember my clothes I took pictures of them on my carpet And now I am like I cannot believe that I had pictures Of clothing laying on my carpet and I used to do it all the time So as a new seller, you just don't know these things. So I hope this video was helpful seeing some of the different Photos and what people are doing. Which ones do you think look better? Which ones do you think maybe don't look as good? Either way, all of the items sold for big money. So I guess the picture doesn't always matter But just some tips to think about.
