追加: 2026-05-18

[00:00:00]Well, hey y'all. Welcome back to the channel. My name is David. I go by Rev here on YouTube. Yep. This hot mama back here. This beautiful This is my beautiful bride, Nikkiet T. Of course, I don't mind saying that. She likes it when I say things like that. It helps me in the sugar department. I hope y'all know what that means. But, um, I got some things I want to talk with y'all about today. In today's video, I want to show you some things that have sold. I got a question I want to that came to me that I want to share with y'all. We had some viewer sales. Uh, you know, I feel like I'm a real YouTuber when I get uh get viewer sales. So, we got some thank yous that we want to uh that we want to hand out. And uh y'all, we got some we got some big sales to talk about today as well. So, uh I I'm in my uh Thursday overalls and uh we'll see you when we get ready to start packing some more.

[00:00:57]All right, y'all. We got to get our system set up. And right now, I'm a little discombobulated, but we going to get it all together. Always when we come in here, when we're getting ready to pack orders, um I have Nikki T a pick list. Now, she knows on this pick list that I have already got what?

[00:01:15]>> Records.

[00:01:15]>> I've already got all the records from inside. If we're out here, the records from inside. So, if there's any custom label SKUs that are for records in the shed, she knows to get those. I don't think there are much that you got to get, but I'm going to hand it off to Nikki T, and Nikki T is going to go and she'll pull some of those. I always have um most of our shipping goes through USPS, so I do a shipment confirmation acceptance notice. It just makes it quicker at our post office. I hand it over. Uh they uh they scan it and after they scan it, they give me back a receipt and it is over and done with. It is just that quick. It is just that simple. And we sold Dale Earnhart Bear.

[00:02:04]But uh it's just that quick and just that simple. So we enjoy it.

[00:02:08]>> Smells like a like a centy cuz we have centies in here. I I pulled out a box earlier that was Cincy material that had Cincy in it as well. And it was a camera, y'all. And I caught a whiff of it, and I was like, "Oh my goodness." I I didn't know what the whiff was. Hand me the Samsung Blu-ray player there.

[00:02:28]Just want to see if it'll fit. Oh, yeah.

[00:02:31]This is a perfect box for it. Y'all, the first sale, uh, Danielle purchased this.

[00:02:36]This is a Samsung, uh, Blu-ray player.

[00:02:39]Y'all probably saw it on the video uh not too long ago. The house where the gentleman uh failed. Uh I bought this Blu-ray player for $10 and I sold it for $45 plus shipping. So pretty pretty good.

[00:02:58]>> Sounded like a song title.

[00:03:01]>> House where the gentleman fell.

[00:03:04]>> There's going to be a song title called that before long.

[00:03:08]The house where the gentleman fell. That sounds like a book. I might write that novel, y'all. I tried to write a novel one time. I still got like 50% of it done. It was cool, but I didn't finish it. They say most people that try to write novels never finish.

[00:03:25]>> So, it's really a short story.

[00:03:27]>> It was shorter than a novel and incomplete. So, uh I got the beginning and the muddle, but I never got to the end. Uh $45 once again for that.

[00:03:45]>> Nikkiet T is Nikki T is done.

[00:03:58]>> That big of a rush today. I thought Nikki T told me she told me that I didn't have to pick her up today until a little bit later. And I went on anyway cuz I missed my bride and I wanted to be close to her presence and pick her up from school. And when I got there, exactly the time that she told me that I wouldn't be needed, here she comes wobbling out to school.

[00:04:19]>> Wobbling.

[00:04:20]>> I mean, I wouldn't mean it like in a negative way. I mean, here she come bobbing out to school. Wobbling. That sound kind of bad, didn't it? I didn't mean it to sound bad. Uh, but I picked her up, so we're not in any rush at all. So, I went and pulled things just cuz I didn't know.

[00:04:39]Next, I sold a Yes Fragile uh vinyl record. This Yes, Fragile Vinyl Record went for $8.

[00:04:52]$8 plus shipping.

[00:04:54]That brings me to um that brings me to a question. I got a question on our last video and the question was sincere. The question was a good question. It was a a gentleman. Uh well, I don't want to say I think it was a gentleman. I don't want to I assume I'll move on.

[00:05:23]I'm going do this one first.

[00:05:26]All right, y'all. Here is the sale of the day, sale of the week, sale of the month. I hope not sale of the year, but it was a good sale. This was uh last video as well, right?

[00:05:39]>> Yeah, we bought it last weekend.

[00:05:40]>> Two videos ago. Uh last weekend we purchased this at an estate sale. Um this is a a Nikon D3500.

[00:05:50]It's camera, two lens, and a bag. It still had the original box with it. I went on and looked and found uh on the shutter count that the shutter count was only 899 pictures. So it was virtually uh barely used at all. Um so I put that shutter count on it. I listed it yesterday. A guy asked me, "Hey, can you tell me what the shutter count is?" I went to uh do it. I posted it what the shutter count was. I added it to the uh listing and it sold before the guy could buy it. Oh god.

[00:06:32]>> So that shutter count captured somebody's attention.

[00:06:35]>> I assume I don't know if it did or not.

[00:06:37]>> He didn't get it.

[00:06:40]Pictures captured >> picture pulling up all these ponds. That don't work either, don't it? Uh let's see. I need four, not three. Um, yeah. So, uh, whatever Nick T just said got me all messed up. Yeah. Uh, the shutter count, it captured, uh, the buyer's attention and it sold for a big whopping 429, $429.97 for this camera. And, uh, I believe it is well worth it. It is a good camera. I was somewhat tempted to keep it myself.

[00:07:18]Uh, I did not keep it myself. Uh, but I was tempted to.

[00:07:22]>> We have one similar.

[00:07:24]>> Huh?

[00:07:25]>> We have one very similar.

[00:07:26]>> Yeah, yours is very similar.

[00:07:28]>> Yes.

[00:07:29]>> Um, Nikki T's got one that's uh similar to this camera and uh she likes it. Uh, but we sold this one and happy to do so.

[00:07:40]We're getting it shipped out today.

[00:07:42]Y'all, those are good buys. Um, but would you pay I remember you remember what we paid for?

[00:07:49]>> $100.

[00:07:50]>> 100 bucks. Yeah, we paid $100 and some people said that's paying up and it is $100 because I didn't know if this rascal worked or not. I I was I looked at it. It looked like it was in really really good condition. Uh, so because of that, I thought it was a good risk and because I knew I was actually thinking I would get about $300 for it. So one into $3 is not good, but 100 into 300 is good. So really what happened is I got about a $300 profit out of this because it actually went for $429.

[00:08:32]So, um, I was very pleased in this sale.

[00:08:37]Uh, you pleased in that, Nikki?

[00:08:40]>> I'm pleased.

[00:08:41]is pleased in that sale, which I'm happy for.

[00:08:48]Of course, anytime this box is in good condition, uh the packaging that it's in is good, but I want to put my time in and make sure uh that this is a good pack. They paid $429 for it. I want them to be proud.

[00:09:16]Let me see.

[00:09:24]All right. So, what I always do is put packing paper in it, add a little bit more at the very end, and put the head on it.

[00:09:42]>> Slide it right on down.

[00:09:44]>> Look at you.

[00:09:46]>> Yep. putting them old motors to work today. Girl, >> I won't say what he's been watching.

[00:09:53]I >> don't know what she talking about.

[00:09:54]>> That gets me in trouble.

[00:10:00]>> Say, I've been watching Lonnie. Y'all hear what she said there? Lonnie picked up on that.

[00:10:05]The best packer in YouTube, Mr. Lonnie M. Honey Cook.

[00:10:12]I'm fine with Lonnie being a better packer than me.

[00:10:17]He thinks he's a better picker than me.

[00:10:20]And Nick T agreed with him.

[00:10:22]>> Ever said that.

[00:10:23]>> Hey, I picked this camera, didn't I?Oop.

[00:10:27]That's pretty easy, though. I miss this camera. Was pretty easy.

[00:10:31]All right, y'all. So, that was a good a good sale. So, we're happy uh to get this one on its way. Y'all, I sold this John Denver greatest hits for $6 uh plus shipping. But yesterday, I got a message and the message was um how can you sell something for $5 uh and make a profit? And my answer was sincerely that when I paid $5 on that it item, I made $241.

[00:11:08]Now, that $2, it was a vinyl record that I I paid uh that I made $5 on. I took an offer for $5 with the shipping. Of course, if you take all the fees and everything out, eBay shows that they're going to pay me from that transaction $2.41.

[00:11:30]Now, um the box that I have, I estimate about 60 for the vinyl mailer. a little bit of this. So, let's say 67.

[00:11:41]Basically, if it turns all out on a $5 sale of a vinyl record, I probably profit around a dollar. Now, is that worth it? That's what the guy asked. Was it worth it? The answer to that question is no. It is not worth it. Um, it isn't worth it for me to sell a $5 record, but I did it. And I'll tell you why. Um, I'm not going to make a living off selling vinyl records for a dollar because ultimately >> this is a viewer sale.

[00:12:11]>> This is a viewer sale.

[00:12:12]>> Terry Eustace.

[00:12:13]>> Terry Terry got uh sure did uh Terry got Dick Clark 20 years rocking and rolling for $8.80.

[00:12:23]Um, but y'all when I when I purchase vinyl records, I always buy them for majority of the time I buy them in lots.

[00:12:32]I would have not bought that vinyl record that I sold for $5 unless it was in a lot. So, I was either going to throw that vinyl record away or I was going to list it for $8 and I took an offer for five. Um, thank you Terry for that that uh purchase there. Terry's been purchasing a bunch of stuff from us and I sure enough appreciate it. Um, but it wouldn't be worth it. It wouldn't be worth it for me to do that on all. But guess what? I don't. I mean, most of the vinyl records I sell an abundance of vinyl records. Some I sell for big money. Some I don't sell for all that much money at all. Like this vinyl record uh went for $6. But guess what?

[00:13:16]It is opening up space on my shelf. I'm moving inventory. I'm making sales. It is easy for me to list it. It's easy for me to ship it. Um, so if I'm making a dollar or a couple dollars or $3 on a vinyl record that I really don't have all that much money or time in, it is well worth it for me to just move it and get it gone and get it out of here. And I don't mind doing that at all. Does that make sense to y'all? Would y'all be willing to do that? Probably not. It is not the smartest business economic decision. But I don't mind moving Elephant Man too good to go uh this vinyl record. I don't mind moving these for $8 cuz I'm going to make about $3.50 off that vinyl. And guess what?

[00:14:11]I'm happy for somebody else to get it.

[00:14:18]And that's all it takes for me to pack it up. I roll it in a box. I put two pieces of bubble on it. I put a label on it and it's gone.

[00:14:29]Nic says I need to waterproof this vinyl cuz it's going overseas.

[00:14:34]>> It is.

[00:14:35]>> The Planets is international shipping.

[00:14:38]Uh this record I sold for $15. That probably came in that lot. Now, of course, on that one, I'm going to make uh close to $10 or $11 off that. You see, the money just keeps multiplying and adding up.

[00:14:54]Sometimes it's even good for me to sell items that I have purchased in bulk and just break even. Break even on a lot of the items that I'm selling is actually pretty good. Both of these vinyl records, these two, Jarvis Jones, Dusty Springfield Golden Hit, $74. Tom Jones, $7.92.

[00:15:19]Both of them plus shipping. Uh I'm going to refund Jarvis uh $3.74 in shipping. Uh because we're combining those two together. And uh that's the difference in how much you paid and how much the actual cost is. So I'm happy to do that.

[00:15:37]But do y'all view your inventory this way? After I purchase it, I'm basically have I can't view it as if how much I have paid my old man. Now, some of y'all have watched restoration. I've had Daddy on this channel. Y'all seen him on that.

[00:15:55]He gets hung up often about how much he has paid for an item. He may buy a Hot Wheel and he will say, "Uh, that joke got some static." And he will say, "Well, I can't sell it for that because I paid so and so much for it." Now, I understand it. Um, but y'all, after I buy vinyl records and after I buy like that camera, I got to view it as if I don't have anything in it. If I bought that camera for $100 and I got home and looked it up and found out that it only sold for 90, guess what? I'm already if I say I'm not going to sell it for $90, well, I'm still out a hundred. But if I sell it for 90, I'm only out 10. You see what I'm saying? So, I don't view after I purchase items, I don't care. Whatever the market price for is what I'm going to try to sell them for. Uh because ultimately it doesn't matter what you pay for it.

[00:16:56]That's already that's that's that that money is gone.

[00:16:59]>> And of course I don't at all feel like he's advocating for go out and buy something that you know you know and not flip it for a profit. But it happens or you buy bulk like he does with records and not every record in the bulk buy is worth big money. But it is worth it to sell it because that's >> usually that puts us back into profit.

[00:17:22]Usually we find a few that do really well and then the rest of them are in profit for us even if it's only5 or $6 a profit.

[00:17:28]>> Our goal is to make bank.

[00:17:31]>> I don't know if you you going to fit in that.

[00:17:33]>> Oh yeah. Oh >> you going to crutch the intimidator?

[00:17:37]>> Yep.

[00:17:41]Intimidator is going to get fold.

[00:17:43]>> Watch his tag. He's got a tag on him. He got me all worried he ain't going to fit in there. Um, I'm going to put the bear in a bag and then from in the bag in the box.

[00:17:55]The bear sold for $21.97 plus shipping.

[00:18:00]>> I feel like that's good for a boy bear.

[00:18:02]>> Oh yeah, that is good. I'm good. I'm good with that for this boy bear. Um, so y'all, that's how much the bear went for and I'm happy for it. 21.87.

[00:18:14]>> Can barely stand it. barely standing.

[00:18:16]But y'all know I don't have a clue what that bear what I purchased that bear for. But you know what I do know? I sold it for $21.87.

[00:18:25]That's all that matters at this point because I own the bear. I own it. So my purchase price, it does matter on in the bottom line. It does matter when all of that said and done. But y'all listen, ultimately it doesn't matter at this point because if I paid $1,000 for that bear, the going rate for it was $21. So if I was going to get any money back, I was going to have to get it back and sell it for $21.

[00:18:54]That's what I did. I didn't pay $1,000 for it.

[00:18:57]>> Yeah.

[00:19:02]>> It feels so good. the Manhattan.

[00:19:04]Somebody paid $4.99 for it, but somebody today paid $7 plus shipping. That's what uh Tanya paid for it.

[00:19:16]Uh all right, y'all. The next one is Charles. Uh Charles is a viewer of the channel. Uh Charles purchased a whole boatload of cards from me. Let's see. He got Show Otani, Juan Sto, Jackson Holiday, King Griffy Jr., uh, Yamamoto, another King Griffy Jr., and a Dion Sanders card. He got all seven of those cards. I don't know what the total is. They weren't any of them that were like crazy value, but I'm grateful for every single one he purchased. Uh, so Charles, man, I appreciate you. Thank you so much for uh purchasing these. I always put my cards, I put them when they're scanned, they're scanned in a penny sleeve and then I put a little label on it that tells me where it's at.

[00:20:10]I put every one of the cards in a top loader and then either three or four will go in a team bag. He bought seven, so I've got two different team bags. And at a certain number, you can't ship them through the uh what is it? Standard envelope. eBay standard envelope. So, because I couldn't do that, I'm going to ship it in this box and get it to Charles.

[00:20:38]So, Charles, we do appreciate you. Hope you enjoy all of your cards. It's going to come in a box that looks just like this. We're going to get a label on it, get it sent to you. We like the big sales and the little sales because every one of them make a uh make a difference. Of course, we're wanting to move vinyl. We don't want to move all our vinyl at $5 a piece. Uh but y'all, if if a record has been sitting on my shelf uh for a year and one person offers me $5, I'm going to happily take it because I know that's my chance to move it uh to get it gone and I'm happy to move it. Mhm.

[00:21:20]>> Got a fellow on a bicycle riding by.

[00:21:26]>> He got more faith than I do. This this road in front of our house, y'all. Boy, these cars around this time of day, they moving. So, I just got to I got to put it out there.

[00:21:41]Don't make noise like that on the camera. People going to think that I'm driving chaotically, and I'm not. I'm driving very, very good. Nobody blew a horn at RA or nothing.

[00:21:55]But y'all, we we love the $429 sales. I mean, it's hard not to make profit on those. Um, but those little small sales that are just moving inventory, that are just bread and butter, that are bringing in a dollar or two or 10, y'all, those are actually the ones that add up over the month and you get get money uh over the month. That fella was close. I don't know if y'all saw that teased window. That motorcycle I that guy on that bicycle got close to us and I didn't know what. Woo. He had my little heart rate up. I was going to have to grab my old peashooter. Yo, we have so many folks that ask about my system when it comes to vinyl records. Uh, so when we get back from the post office here in just a few moments, I want to show you um what I do about once a quarter when it comes to my vinyl records. Uh, I'll go into the record room. I'll show you how I work my numbers. I'll look at all of the one I I'll show you. You let us drop these off and next next picture you'll see will be in the record room.

[00:23:05]All right, y'all. Here is the record room.

[00:23:10]Now, I love the record room one because it's full of records. Ray Ray says it has a a smell to it. It smells old. So, it's got a lot of old records. But what I do about once a quarter on my records is I end and sell similar. And every time I do that, I fill up whatever custom label skew it is. So yesterday uh I came to uh this one here. I pulled some in B. Uh but this is custom label skew NA inside A. I'll know this is the custom label skew for these. And these are all the vinyl records uh that are NA.

[00:23:55]So, what I did is I went through and looked and I saw, well, NA still has a pretty good amount, but I added some to NB. NB only had a small amount, and I added 10 vinyl records. The whole darn family, these first 10 vinyl records uh all the way to this point. All these 10 vinyl records I added uh to NB. And I've gone all the way around. If you see all the way, these are all full.

[00:24:29]These here, G, H, I, J, K, L, M, N, O, and No, I'm on Q. Yeah, I'm on Q. P. I already have P is way back in the back.

[00:24:44]Of course, I already have some of those in the floor. So, next I'm going to start. Nikki T just pushed those vinyl records down. I'm sorry, y'all. She didn't mean to do that.

[00:24:54]All right. Uh on Q, if you see, I'm going to need to add about probably 10.

[00:25:01]>> Add >> maybe 15.

[00:25:03]>> You think addition is a problem in here?

[00:25:05]>> No, but I'm out of space. The reason I'm having to do this is I'm out of space on all of my other shelves that are in custom label QO, which is office. This was inside. This is the first place that we added vinyl records inside the house.

[00:25:22]And then I added some in my study or my home office. I've got three shelves in there. It goes all the way from O A all the way through OZ. And then I have one I have 01 as well.

[00:25:36]>> I'll say it for him. His name is Rev. And he has a problem.

[00:25:40]>> Yes, I have a problem. But I still got more vinyl records that I need to list and I still have places to put them. So, what I'm going to do is I'm going to go and I've got some for P already. I'm going to actually write down for the next seven or eight uh custom labels Q spots how many each of those need. So whenever I end and sell similar all of NQ, I will also go to list easier and list 10 or 15 new uh listings under NQ and fill it up and then go to the next and the next all the way around uh to N 13. So I've got N A all the way through N ZZ. And then I have in one, two, three, all the way down through number 13. It's 12 on the front and 13 on the back. So just that right there, I have enough space from Q to Z. Custom label skew Q. Uh then S, T, UV, WX, Y, and Z.

[00:26:46]All of those could use 15, 30, 45, 60, 75, 95, 115, 125, 135. So, I have space just from this little area here. I can add 135 vinyls, new vinyls that I don't have listed. And I have 135 vinyl that I'm going to put in these slots. I'm going to list and have those included in this custom label skew. And that keeps all of these fresh.

[00:27:19]Um, end and sell similar. Some people said you you shouldn't do that. But every time I do it, I either I'm like this time I'm raising my uh promotion level from 3 to five on these. I'm making sure offers are turned on. So, I'm doing something different even when I sell similar. next time I may lower the price. Next, you know, it you never can tell. Um, keeping the listings fresh, adding new listings every time has helped out and and we have sold a bunch in in the last couple of days from these new custom label SKUs because what's up, Moose? Uh, because we went in and reprinted those. My dog knows how to open a door.

[00:28:05]All right. So, I know that uh these vinyl records are listed in custom label skew Q. So, I have to put every one of these vinyl here in this custom label skew. So, now they're all there. So, when these vinyl records sale, I'm going to come Uh-oh.

[00:28:28]What did I say? I think I was talking about this record.

[00:28:33]I think I have this record twice in here.

[00:28:39]Maybe not. Maybe I listed it again.

[00:28:43]Let me look and make sure I don't.

[00:28:47]No, it was it was this one. So, I already had Alan Parson's project. I didn't have Pyramid.

[00:28:58]I had iRoot. So, I just hope I don't have uh that in any of these. Um, that's the only problem. So, now when they sell, I've got to flip through now all of these. It used to be 50. Uh, it was 45. No, it was 42 43 and added 15.

[00:29:20]So, it's a little bit over 50 vinyl records from here to here. So, when something sells out of NQ, me and Nikki T, whoever's pulling them, have to come and take a look in this section and find them. All right, y'all. So, I wanted to uh sort of end this video with a little debate. What's better? Uh those sales that are really high value or those sales that are low value? Now, some folks would say, I only want a store that is full of high value items. I want a small number of items and I want high value. That works.

[00:29:59]If you don't have a lot of space, um, if you don't have a lot of time, that may be the exactly kind of reselling you need to do.

[00:30:10]you got money to go buy higher value stuff and you can resell a house, you can resell a car, you can resell uh very expensive cameras, whatever it may be, that may work for you to be able to have a store that that you sell high value items. Some folks may say, "Well, look, I have the capabilities of getting an abundance of lower value stuff, so it's going to work well for me because I can get this stuff really, really cheap and I can sell through it really, really fast." Man, that may be a great model.

[00:30:46]You can do the volume numbers and not make a lot of money on every order, but make a lot of sales, get a lot of orders, and and it'll turn into money over time. Or you could be like Orev here. When I find something of high value, because I've sold so many vinyl records, I can purchase that high value $100 item and sell it for $429, which we love. I mean, $300 profit on one item is great, but I also have an abundance of vinyl records that I can sell for $5 and make a dollar. So, it works well for me in both ways. Which for you works best?

[00:31:25]Do you like it to sell high value items or do you uh like to do volume or are you like us and and just do a little bit of all of it? Uh we source what we can find. We source what is available and and we sell the things that we source.

[00:31:43]So that's really the way it works for me is that I sell stuff that we have. Uh if we have a lot of highv value stuff, uh I'm going to have some really big sales.

[00:31:53]If we don't, then I'm going to have some smaller sales of volume because that's what we have to sell and that's what we list. And hey, that works for us. Um, we had a longer video and the video was going out really really long. So, I'm going to cut it short on this one and uh do an outro here. So, we thank y'all so very much for watching. Uh, Nikkiet is not here to say bye, but I am here to say we know no way of closing these out.

[00:32:19]Hopefully, we've earned your subscription. If you're not subscribed, do so. But we know no way of closing these out than saying deuces.
