The short answer
How do you price vintage Levi's 505s to sell on eBay?
Check sold listings for the same model, size and fabric, then price near the middle of what has actually sold. In a 2023 coaching call I priced a pair of black corduroy Levi's 505s, size 30x32, at $24, and a Wrangler pearl-snap shirt at $24.95. Read the date from the back tag and photograph it, because collectors look for it.
- When this video went up in January 2023, I priced a black corduroy pair of Levi's 505s in size 30x32 at $24.
- The number on a Levi's back tag gives the production date. Under the 20-year rule I used, a 2003 date or older counts as vintage.
- Photograph the back tag on every pair of Levi's, because buyers who collect early Levi's want to see the date.
- Put the model, size, fabric and fit in the title: Levi's 505 Men's 30 32 Black Corduroy Regular Fit.

This was a coaching call I did with eBay sellers in early 2023. Most of the hour went to three things: how I title a listing, how I check comps before I pick a price, and how I use buyer groups to send coupons. I've written up the parts that apply to thrift clothing. Every price and sell-through number here is from when this video went up in January 2023, so check current sold listings before you price anything.
How do I title a vintage Levi's listing?
Put the brand first, then the model, size, fabric and fit, because that's the order most buyers search in. For the black corduroys I listed, the title came out as "Levi's 505 Pants Men's 30 32 Black Corduroy Regular Fit." I started with straight leg in the title and changed it to regular fit, because regular fit is the term buyers type. Corduroy goes in the title too, since anyone who wants corduroy will search for it.
Then fill in the item specifics. Pick the fit, fabric and color so the filters work, and put the model number in the model field when the tag has one. Don't pad the title with filler words. Once you've found one, EasyFlip writes the listing from a few photos, so you can spend your time on the pricing and the photos.
What's a vintage Levi's 505 worth on eBay?
I bought that pair of black corduroy 505s in size 30x32 for a dollar from a spot where I get clothes that cheap. I had sold new 505s for around $50, so I knew the model was in demand. A pre-owned pair with an older tag was going to sell for less, and I thought the range was about $24 to $30. I priced them at $24.
The rule I gave on the call is simple: don't price off asking prices. Look at what has actually sold for the same model, size and fabric, and price in the middle of that range. Comps move, so pull them again on the day you list.
| Item | Price I used (Jan 2023) | Range I estimated | What to look for |
|---|---|---|---|
| Levi's 505, black corduroy, 30x32 | $24 | $24 to $30 | Back tag date, model number, regular fit |
| Wrangler pearl-snap western shirt, men's medium | $24.95 | $20 or more | Silver point collar, three-button cuffs, flap pockets |
| Disney pillowcase, made in USA | Aim for $24 to $29 | About 2,000 listed, roughly 500 sold in the listings I checked | Made in USA on the tag; don't overpay for a common item |
How do I date a Levi's tag?
The date is in the number on the back tag. On the pair we looked at, the code read as April 2008, and you could see the date on the tag itself. Tags changed over the years. The older ones feel more like paper, and the polyester tags came in after about 2010, so a pair from the mid-2000s will have a different tag than a newer one.
Under the 20-year rule I used, a 2003 date or older counts as vintage in 2023. Check the date against the year before you put the word vintage in a title. Always photograph the back tag. People who collect early Levi's want that date before they buy, and a clear photo of it answers their questions before they ask.
What do I put for the rise on a pair of pants?
Buyers ask about rise a lot, so I measure it. Measure from the top of the inseam up to the top of the waistband, then take a photo of that measurement. Most men's pants and jeans are mid-rise unless the tag says otherwise. If a pair runs low, put low rise in the title or description. The photo saves you from answering the same question over and over.
How do I price a Wrangler shirt and other finds?
The second item was a Wrangler pearl-snap shirt in men's medium. I'd bought it for about $22 and listed it at $24.95. I figured a buyer could go $20 or more, and the silver point collar might help the value, so I put it in the title and the description. The specifics I used were pearl snap, flap pockets, three-button cuffs and western. If the shirt has a model number on the tag, put it in the MPN field, since some buyers search for the exact shirt they used to own.
For fabric, most Wrangler shirts are woven cotton. If the tag says twill or tweed, it's a knit. The tag tells you more than the feel does.
Some categories are flooded, and you should price them that way. Disney pillowcases and Madewell jeans are two I looked at. For the pillowcase, I found about 2,000 listed and roughly 500 sold, so I'd aim for $24 to $29 and not overpay for a common item. For the Madewell jeans, I saw 856 listed and about 200 sold, with $25 to $30 as the range I'd expect. When a category is saturated, price toward the bottom of the sold range and let the photos sell it.
I also had a suede Columbia jacket with hidden zipper pockets on the outside. I listed it as pre-owned because it had a small hole in the mesh, and I'd rather a buyer see that up front.
Should I offer 60-day returns?
I do, and I've done it since I started selling. A buyer paying for a $24 item needs to see that you stand behind it, and a longer window gives them room. My theory is that eBay favors listings with longer return windows, but I haven't confirmed that, so treat it as my view and not a fact.
In practice, almost nobody waits until day 59. The returns I got came in fast, usually when the item was new to the buyer and something was wrong. About one in five of my returns was a real problem. Two out of ten of those never sent the item back.
The rule that matters most is this: don't refund until the item is back in your hands. When someone asked me for a couple of dollars off because the color wasn't what they expected, I said no and offered the full return. Stay with your policy. People will try to haggle, and if you bend once, you'll get asked again.
How do I send a bulk coupon through buyer groups?
Buyer groups let you send a private coupon to people who already bought from you or follow your store. Here's the setup I walked through on the call.
- Under Marketing, go to Promotions and create a private coupon with a name you don't use publicly. My store runs 20 percent normally, and in the call I showed 25 percent for the buyer coupon. Coupons can't stack with other discounts, so the buyer coupon is the one they get.
- Set the end date far out, so the coupon doesn't expire before you send it.
- Add a description and a photo, then launch it.
- Go to Buyer Groups and create a group for each range of buyers, then save each one.
| Group | Who it reaches | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Group one | Buyers from less than 31 days ago | Send this one every few days; it refreshes as new buyers come in |
| Group two | Buyers from 31 days ago or more | About 40 to 52 buyers on the call |
| Group three | Buyers from more than three months ago | Reaches your oldest buyers |
The send button turns on after a few days, so you can't spam people. Put a line in the message asking them to follow your store for more updates. I also reply to every message a buyer sends. My default reply thanks them for their business and says I appreciate it, and I block the strange messages that aren't about a sale. If blocked people keep getting through, you can report them to eBay.

The bottom line
This week, pull sold comps for the three or four items you have the most of, and price in the middle of what has sold. Photograph the back tag on every pair of Levi's. Write titles that start with the brand, then the model, size, fabric and fit. If you have buyers from the last 30 days, set up a private coupon and send it to group one.
Questions people ask
How much do vintage Levi's 505s sell for on eBay?
When I made this video in January 2023, I priced a black corduroy pair in size 30x32 at $24, and I estimated pre-owned 505s in the $24 to $30 range. Check sold listings for your exact size and fabric today, because prices change.
How do I tell how old a pair of Levi's is?
Read the number on the back tag. The tag on the pair I showed read as April 2008. Tag styles changed over the years, so compare yours with dated examples before you list it.
Can I call Levi's vintage in the title?
Only if the item is at least 20 years old. Under the rule I used in 2023, a 2003 date or older counted as vintage. For newer pairs, leave vintage out and use the model, size, fabric and fit.
Are 60-day returns worth offering on eBay?
I offer them, and my view is that they show buyers you stand behind the item. I haven't confirmed that eBay favors them. In my experience almost nobody waited until day 59, and I never refunded a return until the item was back in my hands.
How do I send a coupon to my past buyers on eBay?
Create a private coupon under Promotions, then set up buyer groups by recency: less than 31 days, 31 days or more, and more than three months. Send each group's coupon every few days, and add a line asking buyers to follow your store.

a movie out of the way oh yeah I'll just minimize all right um so I was gonna start from Shrek so I only got some underwear that I listed yeah that's fine free shipping on there because that's how a lot of them were listed and then the jeans and then this stupid little beanie that um I put a crazy price on I had them up for there I learned a lot about Beanie Babies we wanted to get into it here but yeah the ones that sell for so much do you know about all that like um the ones yeah yeah yeah I know they have to have some very special characteristics because I I know that people think uh like the general thing is like oh they're worth millions it's like no they're even even vintage beanie babies you know the the highly replica you know the highly produced ones those aren't like rare they're
just vintage but like the ones that I'm in special editions those can be good yeah even so none of them sell for like 20 000 and whatever yes yeah well yeah that's good was that from a house buyout or uh which one the beanie baby yeah I could pick him up um no it wasn't from that house fire but I got them for nothing a long time ago nice all right so let me show you this is uh a dollar pair of so I got another spot where I can get like clothes for a dollar um pretty easy that's great um Levi's corduroy which I wasn't sure about me yeah so since they're corduroy um they would be considered they'd be needing to be listed under the pants category okay so and this picture is not great you can't really tell that they're corduroy here but whatever I guess that's a bad picture they don't
look dirty at all should I delete that too but that's just the way the fabric if someone does that actually just say that's the fabric right but yeah they're 505s yeah I I sell those new I've sold those for like 50 bucks so pre-owned um 30 32 you could probably get 24 to 30 bucks for those yeah I was thinking 24. and they're vintage Hong Kong are they mm-hmm because the Hong Kong I was wondering about that so see it's funny because we say Levi they're vintage but I saw levi.com and I was thinking oh they're probably early 2000s early 2000s yeah Hong Kong okay and see how the tag is not quite polyester but it's still more like a paper tag not total paper tag but it's not like the modern hmm late 2000s so um these could be like between 2005 and 2010 so yeah and they switched over to the polyester tag
after 2010 so um you don't have to put vintage but oh you could see the date right there uh yep so where is it so the date is two thousand where am I where are we looking so it's my finger on it no no so three four three one four zero one yeah they make them uh different on the 08 April of 08 . yeah yep yep yeah so 2008 yeah so April 2008. it's always going to be a four number sequence um so sometimes um they're in different spots so vintage has to be 20 years old though right yeah is like 2 000 but it is yeah 2003 and and Beyond yeah but um yeah so we're both 408. and um so let me make sure I'm in the pants but let me move this over first um pants with any Levi's always take a picture of that back tag because also for people
who are Levi you know addicts people who love early guys they they want that back because they want to know the year but yes it's super helpful but yeah they're it's kind of tricky to find because Levi put them everywhere all right so I'm gonna go um Levi's pants yes Levi I mean Levi's pants um what do we say they were 30 32 yeah 30 32. okay and then black corduroy or 505. oh so Levi's uh 505. I always put the the model after yeah so Levi's 505 pants men's so so far so good after 30 32 put corduroy how do you spell that uh yeah c-o-r d u r oh why okay thank you um corduroy made rise midwife cotton pockets and they looked like they were a straight leg sometimes they'll have uh boot cut people uh 2008 or anything like that regular food yeah there you go so you can you can
either swap out straight leg with regular fit since it's more uh better keyword to describe those genes or pants so regular fit and you could do black because sometimes people will be like is that dark blue or yeah there you go sweet I don't remember what number I'm at so I'll just fix that okay okay good Levi's Chino Chino what does that mean Chino is uh basically any pants that are you know like like Dickies pants those would be considered chinos um any kind of dress type of pants would be considered cheap okay great yeah she knows okay for sure and when we say 34 32 was it oh they were 30 32s 30 and 32. black men's and fit would just be regular fabric type yeah it's uh the four it was up top all right I think material would be material cotton with size 30 oh I'm sorry I missed that levaries are
my favorite uh tip brand to resell I just I don't know why I think because there were so many in this storage unit that were awesome you know just really cool um and it's like yeah it's a flooded category but they're always in demand you know as far as uh the older ones like the ones you have here you could easily get 24 bucks for them yeah cool they might just take a couple months to sell yeah I'm okay with that every once in a while what do we say mid-rise you have to explain that to me too is there a way to measure that yeah yeah you measure from the top of the inseam all the way to the top Hem of the pants and that will give you most unless they say on the tag or something otherwise uh most uh men's pants and jeans would be mid-rise but sometimes you'll get like
Kenneth Cole low-rise jeans and and you'll have to put low rise on there so but I measure it because I was getting a lot of questions oh what's this are they high rise and more for women's jeans but for men's too I just take the measurement adds an extra photo in there all right well that's good then looks good on that one I think I have a question yeah why do you do 60-day returns um because it's better than offering 30-day returns or 14-day returns um and I just want to be offering the best possible um service for the buyer and also it shows that I put full faith into describing my item so um it goes back to like no one returns their items on the last day you know on day 59 they usually get the item and then if there's a problem they return it right away so my kind of theory
is that eBay likes that you offer 60-day Returns versus 30-day returns so they're going to be wanting to possibly favor your listing versus someone that offers maybe 14 day returns so that's why I do it and that's why I've always done it and I've you know never I'm technically eBay only holds you for 30 days When You Say Bo that nobody's come to you on day 59 no I have never um I had one 49 right yeah I had a guy's pair of shoes um where they split open on him like three weeks after wearing them but that's like what 20 days after he got him yeah I've never had a return where they waited to the last day to open a return or even anything close to that um usually when people get their item they want their money back so they're gonna be like well how do I get my money back you
gotta send that item back to me to get your money back so that's kind of my whole thing I I'm just prove to the buyer that hey you know I stand behind this item I even give you a 60-day return if there's a problem send it back to me if I could offer lifetime returns I would because it's just you know they're they're in the mindset of if there's a problem they're gonna return it anyways uh we know as soon as possible that's why I don't issue refunds until I get the item back in my possession oh that's a good idea yeah oh yeah I mean I I can say you know at least 20 percent of my returns that the you know problem and then they they say yeah you know just send it on back happy to accept the item back within 60 days for a full refund and probably you know two
times out of ten they don't send it back and and that they just don't return it for some reason so um you'll have you'll have that happen as you're you get more sales you're going to have people that there's a lot of people too that want partial refunds and you know try to haggle you this lady was like oh well this this uh this is not the color I thought it was can you give me a couple bucks and I just say no if you don't like it please uh send it back I'll give you a full refund and never heard from her so you know just always stay true to your policy because people will try and take it right what are you looking at though uh this is still my screen so I had another question about it so this is a Wrangler Western shirt uh-huh yeah I want to know what these
things are so it looks like there's our point collar appointment it looks like the the person who owned it put them there because I looked this shirt up when you look at comps they're they're not there so I didn't flip them around but they're like silver and they're pretty ornate I didn't think to flip it over but it's like somebody stuck them on there and it wasn't and that's cool that's cool it's a that's just a classic Wrangler Pearl snap okay can I see the tag yes you may let's see oh and then you were talking about this these lines yep what's it called again a yolk yeah it just helps the shirt fit better the tag was pretty simple but when you uh I was surprised with the length here too that was sometimes X long tails is the older Wranglers um so it's a pretty simple tag yeah it's a newer one yeah
yep that's good um but I thought those silver things might help the value so you want to help me run through that real quick yeah yeah turn my time over yep so that's a good one yeah I thought so I just typed in this uh I thought it was funny I typed in this number here the seven one whatever and that comes up on eBay as a search people put that in the title yeah they'll put it in the um there's a spot where it says MPN and that's the model number yeah you could do that sometimes people are very specific um with their Wrangler shirts like they go oh I had this one and I loved it had it for 20 years and they didn't want that specific model you know so yeah that way but yeah I think it's a 28 shirt I guess no yeah you can easily you well it's a
medium you could get 20 plus for this but with that extra um that would be called an embellishment so embellished means a special accent about that shirt would be embellished so what am I going to say here yeah Wrangler shirt men's medium you could put Pearl snap Pearl snap yep real snap flap pockets lap pockets and then put three three button yep re button close on the sleeve that would be for the wrist yes it's a three button and then you could put something to describe that silver on the collar because that's going to probably catch people off ground so you put Silver Point collar even though no one's probably going to be searching for that but it's just showing at your knowledge oh that's perfect okay so men's clothing Wrangler regular long sleeve work uh you said all of them are woven is that right most yeah yeah most that are like cotton um
and if they were knit it would be like a type of twill cotton um or Tweed sometimes but you'll see it on the tag when it says twill or Tweed that would be like a knit um but no one's ever returned a shirt where like oh the fabric type this is knit and it's not woven there's it's so hard to tell the difference so all right uh anything you can think of under features your accents no under closure you want to put snap snap okay oh I got that okay good yep and then collar style would be point ing and then collard was cutting oh you know um okay yeah and anytime uh you get some of those western shirts a good thing that's where you would use the theme uh item specifics and put in Western or if something's like if you get a military jacket it's a good one to put military or
Army okay so that's what I use those for but very rarely X I'm not worried about that okay right on was that another dollar find yeah yep nice foreign you think uh what 21.95 would be fair 24 with the um that's not like the hugest size I would just do about 24.95 yeah you might get offers yeah 14 bucks 15 bucks I mean I think the silver things I think if I could pull them off too it might be worth it looking up to see yeah that's true yeah this and then ship first class 5.95 yeah 495 so so I'm gonna be buying a bulk bales of clothing for let's see 14. 230 bucks for uh how many pounds 1500 pounds wow for 200 bucks though that's not bad yeah should I do that you don't know exactly what you're getting though right it's uh discards from the floor and um so stuff that hasn't
St Vinci St Vincent's is like every two to three months if it doesn't sell they throw it in the discard pile and then they bail them up and then the lady said it's also um items they get donated that might have a stain or a hole so that's kind of the risky part but about 1500 pounds of clothing I mean that's probably going to be about 2 000 pieces yeah where I only need you know I need maybe a thousand to 1500 I need about 1500 a month so that's but you're only spending 200 bucks right now I'm spending about 1500 a month on product so it'll be better than going to the bins except now I gotta do all the Sorting but I also have a better opportunity to get higher better quality quality more vintage more rare stuff yes yes so do you have a dumpster well there's a um a really cool
program called just portrait here where they come and pick up any used clothes for free oh really within three days so um and they they whole it's basically like a rag house where they chop up all the clothes into insulation and mechanic Rags so you wouldn't have to worry about getting them again yeah yeah just they would just come pick them up and but I don't know I'll I'll buy a bale and go from there I'm not expecting this is where I already get my product anyways some of it right but he's sorting it for me um but he's so you're getting it from him you're not getting it from St Vincent de Paul yes I was going to buy my own bail and see if I have the time to sort that out so so are you getting that straight from St Vincent de Paul yeah yes okay I'd like to know how that
goes yeah uh well she just sent me an email so we'll see I mean that price is pretty cheap so it's not even if I just found like 10 items that sold for 50 bucks you know if it goes really good for you maybe this summer I'll fly up there run a U-Haul and get three or four bales and bring them back to Arkansas that would be enough product for you for a long time yeah I mean um you know one thing I also considered was some kind of wholesale you know either locally or online or something but I right now I'm just looking for alternative ways to source so I understand that but yeah that's a nice piece yes so I wanted to show you that we don't have to list it right now or anything and Jared has something but uh it's a two-piece it's uh kind of strange it's uh very vintage
it's only got one tag yeah so that's all it says and and then there's another piece that goes with it so I was wondering kind of what these were it's on both sides it's for a belt buttons oh for a belt yep got it you'll see them on dresses too and then this piece so they're the exact same fabric and everything I think this goes on top of the yeah it is cool almost like a tune it tuners tunic is like an like a like a shirt that is more loose um but not like a blouse so they probably wear a white shirt underneath the vest and then put the jacket on top yeah so that would be considered like a tunic jacket open front and the the first one would be like a pullover um tank top or vest I don't know if it's heavy weight or not but it's no very lightweight yeah
so so they would be so I would both list them under the shirt or the women's tops category and then you can go under the item specifics and choose like tank top and then this one you could choose tunic and you could put under features where it's open yeah does it say where it's made I don't know no it's pretty basic paper tag but it does it is vintage especially if it has a computer tag yeah yeah yeah it's super vintage I mean oh yeah it's like 70s yeah that's cool but a brand new like never touched that a little bit sometimes yeah you could do the good old Google lens and you never know what you'd pop up with that at least maybe you can find someone else selling it and base off that but oh and I have one other question and then yeah um at this for a dollar Columbia jacket I
wanted to know that had some weird front pockets right in here that I didn't notice until the very end oh yeah but I was gonna see if you could tell me what those were called are they on the the inside of the jacket no they're on the outsides it looks like a suede jacket yeah it's really it's pretty nice I just put a oh nice yeah yeah it's inside zipper but they're not inside what is it right here they're on the outside that's cool yeah um right where the see on the bottom left the zipper goes up there's on either side on the front of the jacket yeah I would put zipper hidden zipper Pockets hidden zipper the only downside is they had this little tiny hole you'd have to list it as pre-owned though okay not new attacks because it's got that mesh on it okay that's good to know too all right yeah
I mean so I got enough pictures and stuff I hope to do 20 lessons or so tomorrow so yeah no that's a good one all right I'll sit back and see what everybody else has uh can I show you these did you get a chance to look at that Disney pillowcase did you end up getting that one oh I got it nice what do you think yeah I mean made in USA um there's about 2 000 of them listed on eBay and there was like 500 nuts sold so not pictures of it I tried to look for that one in particular I couldn't find that one so I just how much would you list it for I'd probably do at least 20 bucks 22 bucks 21 there was some going as high as 150 79 89 um but I couldn't find the one with like the fire truck so you know you're probably going to
want to do like 24 to 29 around there okay it's not like super in demand so well and that's true and I only have one of them so yeah I couldn't pass it up to Ben so made in the USA yeah and it was probably what a dollar so less would you say I mean anything pretty much Disney if the price is where I get it or do you sell any Disney I do um it's just a really saturated all of their items are super saturated even vintage so um I Heard the things uh like are from the park store uh anything that says Disney Parks or whatever is uh kind of a better better yes um I would say you know don't spend too much for it but as far as like clothings even Disney sleepwear um is good Disney's pullover hoodies good just you know you don't want to be shelling out 30
bucks to make five dollars you know the sweatshirt confused me oh Batman it's obviously Batman it's 11 Paris I mean I didn't know I couldn't find anything that didn't pop up under the brand where your item specifically I don't think so let's say 11 terrorists that man that was the only one that popped up right there interesting what about solds I don't know didn't think about that there's that one that's a t-shirt that's the only one too I mean you could probably get a good 24 or 30 bucks for it I didn't see the size but it's an XXL yeah yeah do I need to describe it a little better yeah oh yeah just put 11 so 11 Paris yeah I put parts whoops there's Batman's sweatshirt um men's and then put two XL and it it might I'm pretty sure it would be a fleet it's got Japanese and other writing on the back
too if anything um so 2XL is it a do you remember it looked like it was a fleece pullover oh that's a good question nice well maybe yeah it looks like it's a cotton yeah it doesn't look fully snow it's cotton so just put cotton pullover crew neck and then if you could fit it graphic print would be a good one or delete um cotton all right nice let's see where it says graphic down here's somewhere the color is silver or white it's white sorry didn't see that there's no cotton there okay and then maybe a pullover and you could put knit pull over oh if it doesn't have it it's okay yeah it doesn't have it what I would it's up to you you could put solid and then just make sure you hit graphic print where's graphic print it way down a little a little more down yep there up I was looking
for a pull down menu sorry oh it's good true neck yep machine washable um character actually is a really good one for cartoons uh Batman if they got it which they should yeah there you go awesome right I don't excuse me I'm sorry very good and Jared your sales you're almost doubling up from the previous month that's the plan it's good I had some dingbat sorry that's mean but some person offered me like 40 bucks for one of the motorcycle jackets yeah I'm like uh no it was that one I sold the four for 80 and the guy sent back because it was too tight I'm like I sent him back an offer of like 72. mm-hmm so that's good I don't somehow I don't think he really expected me to to take 40 bucks these are those Madewell jeans I wanted to ask you about that very nice they're I put cropped because they
look cropped um um because they're only 27 inches long in their men's they're women's yeah yeah um and what's the size on there well the tag says sturdy but hold on let me show you look at this that's not 30. yeah they were way their way stretched out they're like at least 32. so what I need to know what to do there on my description do you remember the these might be men's do you remember if the pockets were deep or shallow because if they're called the high-rise Slim Boy in the size is 30 that's looking more like a men's cut it could be a men's kit which make us makes them more valuable slightly but yeah the the real determining factor is the uh the pockets the pockets are deep yeah I can check them out tomorrow and tell you yeah but usually women's made well would be like size model size 14 size
six these look they just look like they're cut for men yeah that's good advice about uh the pockets that they're short Pockets uh not very deep than their women's if they're deep and your hands can fit in other than their men's that that was a really good uh point that you made the other day it's helped me a lot already yeah yeah because I mean especially nowadays with men's skinny jeans and stuff you're like is this women's and then you stick your hand in there you know it's you will tell you know women's jeans their pockets are like maybe a couple inches deep so very rare that it's see there's a tag right there high-rise Slim Boy Gene I give this let me check right now there's the pockets yeah they do look like men's pockets because women don't have that little pocket there do they um sometimes they do yeah um so yeah just
double check tomorrow yeah that's what I have to do yeah just double check um I know where they're at also too they could just be boyfriend jeans well that's what I was thinking women's boyfriend but even boyfriend jeans would have short Pockets still though right yes so just double check the pockets you could just save this as a draft and just sure but um they don't I mean they sell pretty decent um I was shocked to find them I guess I need to measure the leg opening too I didn't think about that 856 listed and 200 sold 25 bucks 30 bucks okay yeah just double check but they could also if the pockets are shallow then yeah it's they're just boyfriend jeans all right but yeah made was a solid one it's become more it's like kind of like free people and Lululemon and they just it's they've the reseller Community is caught on and
everyone's picking that up so as far as eBay it's just becoming more flooded yeah which is unfortunate but but very good Anthony what you working on how's your week been you left oh he did you left oh let's see oh yeah I haven't checked maybe he thought he wasn't gonna get to say anything so he left oh well I have another question about messages um I got a weird message do you ever respond to weird uh interesting I'm not really on topic messages yeah what is it in regards to like what are they asking uh a purple pair of shoes and they just use words like I gave them an offer and thanks for your appealing attractive pleasing pretty fine Fair nice good looking Delight good blah blah all the way down and it doesn't really say anything what um it doesn't huh it just has all these words about how great the shoes are
and then it says text and it has a what looks like a phone number and then says truly yours I respond to all messages because eBay is tracking that um my generic response is just um I have it saved when they when they are thanking you for something um I have a response where it just says thank you for your business I appreciate it um you help support a small family business I said feel free to save our store for your um items that we list every day I wonder if it's something just though not appropriate you'd block them at that point or oh yeah if they said something ones like uh can you put these genes on and show me what they look like I just I respond and then I block them yeah no I can't do that and then I block them right away yeah because eBay Ebay's tracking your response time
and when you're not responding to messages then there's it's anecdotal evidence but it's still at the same time you know and then is it just the is it just the first response like so say they kind of leave it open do you have to have the last word so like I do yeah when they when I say thank you they go thank you and I go you're welcome and they go thank you and I'll just keep doing Emojis all that little bitty stuff matters I mean you're successful so I'm gonna model myself after you I do I do because I have a couple that are like that like yes all right at the very least say like Emoji or thumbs up emoji um okay yeah I just I've always done that and um just you know I with the weird messages definitely like just say you know sometimes you just put a smiley face and
then you can block them so that works too okay and if they keep if you block them and they're still able to get messages through then you can contact eBay and they can uh remove them manually all right I'm all done then I just wanted but yeah so Jared you listed your stuff today too yep cool I picked up a lot of stuff that the Goodwill bins today yeah 91 bucks you probably got at least what 40 50 items I don't know I gotta count them tomorrow it's good I just kind of threw them in a couple bags and and put them in the storage unit after I after I got them yeah I mean I went through them a little bit I was going to ask you for a favor and you don't have to do it today or now but um is it possible to share your like your your sales for December
and then compare it to January and post that in the Discord you know I messed up when I sent you that eleven hundred dollars that was for the last 31 days that wasn't for just January I've got 931 dollars for just January still I should still get over a thousand you know yeah I should still get close to 1200 I think do you um do you know how to do screenshot on your computer no okay well we could just do it some other time but uh I wanted to if with your permission to use your uh like as a testimonial or an example yeah it's fun growth um because yeah you know we were talking the other day you did start with about 80 items and now you're up to almost 300 um and you've been applying the daily listing and all that so it's just like the proof is like there you know you
just there were two days where I cheated and yeah did some um ones that were already there just relisted them I'm at like 309 items now yeah that's good so and you sold a couple today sold one mm-hmm sales last couple days have been kind of slow but I had a good I had a decent weekend I meant I sold like nine items over the weekend that's good so I can't I can't grape yeah um how do you here's a question how do you I want to go into my store if I want to send a coupon to just or a message to just the nine followers do I have and how do I get more followers that's another good question let's do it yeah so a good way to get more followers is to um anytime you get a message from someone that is thanking you or saying you know something nice or just
asking about a item in your store you can have like a a default that's written out saying you know at the end of after answering the question you could say you know please follow my store as I list five new items a day every day um you know to take receive feature updates and sometimes that can convert you know people that are looking at your store into followers so you can continue to once they're a follower then you can set up a Weekly Newsletter to send them to their email so they get the updates of the new items that are being listed in your store oh really yeah it's a new feature like probably six months ago they started that a year ago and that's a good way to do it and um that would be probably the best way to get followers of your store of real potential customers most of the followers of
my store are just people that are like watching the YouTube videos and just following my story um right right maybe half are actual people that I've bought for me um but yeah uh the other thing you're talking about is something that I do about every three days it's a called the bulk coupons uh through the buyer groups so you're able to send a bulk coupon to followers of your store so how do you do that so you would go under promotions marketing promotions and then under create promotion no uh do you want to share your screen side now yeah I'm sorry on the left hand side yeah so on the left hand side sees but buyer groups oh that's I would save this page I have 102 total buyers yeah you could send what I do is I make a special coupon for them for previous buyers really for a 40 coupon or whatever and
then put it at the bottom of it follow our store yeah you do that on that coupon yeah yeah you could a custom message yeah um so with this so you want to send it to your follow you could send it to both you could send it to your followers and then you can create another one to send to previous buyers um so actually you what you would need to do first oh I see it says your previous customers get started and then your followers get started um okay what we could do what you have to do first is you have to create a coupon that's private um first okay how do you do that so under Mark go back to promotions on the left yeah there you go yep and then create a coupon create a promotion coupon and then come up with this uh name that uh that you don't normally use you
have any spaces right yeah just put Holy Spirit Holy Spirit blessed you oh holy holy savings there you go perfect um and then it would be private coupons so so no one else can see it unless you send it okay and what's the what's the discount what do you run as a coupon in your store currently normally twenty percent okay so maybe do a 25 percent now would that be on top of no they can't they can't stack coupons it's just like showing the extra thankfulness you know here's 25 um and then you scroll down all the way and put a description and a photo hmm But going at a business sale uh sometimes grand opening sale there you go Black Friday I always use this shirt because you know it works and um and then scroll down and what you're going to want to do is you're going to select the end date as
far as possible you could almost do it a year out because you don't want it to expire um you want them to be able to use this anytime until December 31st yeah there you go yeah at 5 58 PM yeah I should start and then do launch yeah and then you launch it yep okay and then then you select the button well we got to create the buyer group so go back to eBay promotions um how do I get back to her just click the eBay button up top the logo or you could hit close close at the bottom right oh there we go because it's not letting me go up okay now we go back to buyer groups uh buyer groups there we go and then we can create pick which one we can start let's do the total buyers yeah so you get started started and then um so at the top it
says so you're selecting people you could create individual groups for all of these sections and that's what I do I select uh I select less than 31 days ago for my first group and then okay you know I go down so so you keep going on and what I do is for a group name I just put group one one one and then scroll down and then you just say save yep and then and then now send now that coupon you just created now you can send that out let me get out to 30 people so now you hit done and now you just repeat what we just did and it's awesome yeah so then go get started yeah get started and then now more than 31 days ago yep yep and now that's group two and that's going to send it to 40 to 52 people so you should get some good action from
this and I do this every couple days it lets you do it yeah in your message follow our store for more updates yes yeah I forgot to put this in the first one yeah that's fine there I think I'm gonna copy and paste yes last line so I had to retype it every time this is awesome I like this yeah it is it's good I get a couple sales uh you know every few days from that because I have a special coupon for it now does it send it out to new people too yeah so so the next time you send it out it's gonna send out the last 30 so go up a little bit yeah and then select date range and now you're going to choose more than three months ago right and now it's group three and then save buyer group and there you go so I'm back to my other question
though as as more people buy from me and then go up yeah then do I have to send the coupon out to the the 31 day group every month or something yeah every every three days I do it because because it allows you to do it about every three days but just that first group yeah so the less than 31 days ago will always be the ones from less than 31 days ago like okay like a couple days will go by and whoever bought from you in those last few days that will be included in that group okay so this is group four yeah group four yep and then I would just come to this page the buyer groups page every couple days and just send them out okay but I do and um cool I did not know about this it's pretty new I mean it's probably about a year old so I was
doing that with both you guys the whole time so I was like I figured you were okay to be dumb not to yeah yeah so I have a question too so you do it every two or three days is yours at 25 or 35 percent what is yours at 40 40. okay I did mine for 35 but I don't know if I could afford to do much more than that but and you just do it every couple days um yeah it doesn't giving them an email every couple days yeah it doesn't um allow you to like spam them uh right so you would just be um you know about every three days you you'll see um so yeah so hit send coupon you'll see um you'll be able to click on it after a few days when you can when so scroll down a little bit Jared yeah and that will be all your group
see how it says edit edit edit those edit buttons will turn into send coupon buttons every couple really yeah yeah I hope I I hope that that helps yeah edit button on the right hand side yeah so yeah it'll send coupon and then that that'll refresh it's really cool because it's more than 30 group down here I don't know you should send it though I don't know what that's for something maybe you created in the beginning or something yeah send it anyways yeah why not so yeah it's very helpful I do it every few days um the other thing we could set up to you know later is the newsletter in the newsletters similar but that's something where it's more marketed towards your store it shows your newest you have to write your own newsletter it has a generic thing hopefully it writes itself I was gonna say because I'm not a good writer it
has its own template you put in there so all right well that I think that was a very productive night I appreciate it yeah that's awesome yeah I'm happy you guys are kicking butt you know it's really cool to see and um it's awesome and I know you guys are serious because you're on here every day and you want to oh and I know I'm a pain though but thank you you're not I the the 15 years of waiting tables where you know where people are like uh you know I want water no ice hey you'd love my wife I want a glass of water no ice half boiling hot and half lukewarm I don't oh my God I shake my head every time I take her to the restaurant yeah there's a very video about that but um and then she's like how much of a tip should we leave we should leave extra
just because of your water your special request yeah yeah but um if you can think of any other questions between now and tomorrow um you know post them on on the Discord and we can go over them but yeah hopefully you guys have some good sales are you gonna be on tomorrow night or are you taking the night off no I'll be here tomorrow um I returned for the Chiefs on Sunday oh 49ers the 49ers are playing are you on the Brock Brock pretty pretty wagon yep oh yeah well not like calling him Joe Montana but yeah better than what we've ever had in the last few years yeah all right well hopefully they'll win for you your quarterback as a young kid 21 year old his name is Brock Purdy from which team no but I mean which team does the 49ers I knew he was from Iowa yeah all the good ones come
