hey what's going on everybody Welcome in there was an interesting conversation in one of my Facebook groups this morning about the fastest selling items on eBay and how to locate items that are going to bring your sell-through rate up some of you that are newer or new here may even be asking what is a sell-through rate how do you know yourself through rate what's a good sell-through rate to have um I want to take you over to eBay there's no faster way to see it than just jump over to the eBay account I'll show you
an example of sell the rate an example of some items and how you can determine whether an item is fast selling medium selling or slow selling so basically your shelter rate is the number of items that you sell every day based on the total number of items that you have for sale if you have a hundred items uh active and you sell one a day you're obviously selling one percent of your inventory which means you would sell 30 items in a month or 30 of your inventory each month if you have a hundred items and
you sell 10 items a day that's 10 of your inventory and in theory you could sell through all of your items in 10 days so that's basically stealthyroid if you go on eBay and you look up an item and there are 100 active excuse me and 100 that have sold that is a 50 sell through rate because there's still 100 active there were 100 that sold which means 200 were totally listed and out of those 200 100 are now in the sold 100 are still active in other words 50 of all the ones that have
been listed have sold and so that's how you figure out the sell through rate very very quickly let me take you over to eBay and I'll show it to you on the screen and then hopefully this will help you identify which items are the fastest and when you're looking up items in thrift stores or estate sales or wherever you Source your items from you'll be able to tell exactly how quickly you can expect them to sell hey everybody let's thank wholesale for being a sponsor of this channel where you can buy and sell inventory to
stock your store or sell off some of your excess inventory and turn it into cash now sign up with code rockstar10 and save 10 on your first purchase from wholesale and thank them for being a sponsor of this Channel all right so I brought up the eBay website here you can see I'm just on my account a couple items did one two three four items kind of at both ends of the scale so one if you look at like PlayStation 5 consoles uh just looked up used everything I have is pretty much used merchandise there'd
be 1700 active PS5 used consoles so we can see that right now at the top 1700 plus and then when we come to solds we see 3 500 plus so totally that's 5200 that were listed if we come over here we can see that 3 500 out of the 5200 that were listed almost 70 percent of all the PS5 consoles sell so clearly they're selling super fast and then you can also do the math on 3500 divided by the 90 day it defaults to 90 days you can change that if you want but that shows
you that almost 40 units a day used are selling now a lot of people are selling these brand new probably hundreds of them brand new so that's kind of the selfie rate on a you know a quicker selling high dollar items 70 percent over 90 days so in every three months you know three quarters of all PS5 consoles sell and it's probably a little higher with uh the brand new side so here's a shirt that everyone knows that I sold a lot of these were Tommy Bahamas uh used button-down shirts 11 000 of them listed
and people would say oh my God that's saturated but if you come to used 5200 have sold in the last 90 days so that means 16 200 were listed in the last 90 days because we're adding that up and that shows us that almost 33 percent sold um total out of all the shirts so a third of all the shirts sell every 90 days uh so in theory 100 of these shirts would sell every single year and four quarters you can also do the math again for the 90 days at 5200 and that tells you
that 57 almost 58 of these shirts sell every single day so there are a ton of people buying Tommy Bahama shirts 50 you know 57 of these times 30 days almost you know 1750 of these Tommy Bahama shirts sell every single month all right let's move on to the third one Miss Me jeans 5600 active so pretty good solid amount and 2200 have sold so that's a total of 7 800. we again do our math 2200 over 7 800 total and about 28 of all miss me used Miss Me jeans sell every single 90 days
so a little bit less than Tommy Bahama so Tommy Bahama items button-down shirts at least in theory sell quicker than Miss Me jeans now Miss Me jeans used to be a top seller but they still do well I mean you're still talking about 2200 over 90 days and we can do our 90 days and figure out how many per day sell and this is used mind you of course you can look it brand new as well 24 pairs of missed meat use Miss Me jeans sell every day on eBay now there's also a pair selling
on Makari and Poshmark and things like that now here's a lower one this is a remote control that when I get I know it's worth good money it's a Pioneer axd 1549 this is for a plasma TV it's not really that easy to find but it's not that popular there's only 11 of these listed right now I just sold one there's eight that have sold I just literally just sold one a couple days ago and we got I believe this one is mine it's it's either that one or that one we got right around oh
no the second one is mine so I got uh 49 with the best offer that one is mine I can tell because the G40 in the title 49 I had two of these available I paid like a buck a piece I think the best offer on this was like 44 or 42 they usually sell pretty pretty close to forty dollars you can see someone else got 37 someone got 44 someone got 43 all in someone got 41 so they sell right around 40 42 dollars so I'll put them up for you know 45 or 49
and take the best offer around 40 bucks or 39 or whatever they offer and anyways there's eight of these that sold and um there's only 11 uh active over here so 8 out of 19 sold so even on a lower Supply item you can see that 42 percent of these remotes sell over 90 days now the problem is that there's only eight sold in the last 90 days if you scroll down you can see all the way back to August 1st of September to October to November 4th will be 90 days there obviously wasn't any
sold on November you know like before that that I can see because it can't go back that far but um anyways only only eight of these have sold so every 10 days or actually every 11 days one of these sells and you can see that's accurate two of them have sold October 30th November 1st but look it was all the way back to October 21st October 17th October 10th and in October only one two three four of these sold and if you go back to September only one sold in September and only two during the
month of August so this is an item when you get it it will sell it will do well but you're only going to be able to sell one or two per month that is all the supply that there is on this particular item so keep that in mind when you're selling when you've got thousands of people buying Miss Me jeans or Tommy Bahamas you have a chance of grabbing one of them if your item stands out if you have a good price Etc on this type of item people want it but only so many people
need it or want it at a given time so you'll have to sit and wait and when it sells it'll sell but you don't have as much competition because there's only 10 other people or 11 other people against you but you have to really stand out because only you know whatever four people a month need this item so something to keep in mind when you're looking at how quickly an item will sell how quick the sell-through rate is and what a good sell-through rate is now people ask what's a good percentage well for me I
think if an item has an overall percentage of 33 or higher over the course of 90 days that's good if it's less than 25 it's probably bad if it's above 30 33 very good anything you find above 50 percent really really good if you can find an item that's selling 50 of its total inventory or higher every 90 days you know sixty percent seventy percent over the course of 90 days that's really really superb and you should be looking for those but as long as it's above say 30 33 you have a fair chance of
of selling it pretty quickly if it's less than that it's down under 25 or 20 it's probably going to be a really slow item try to get a really good profit margin an Roi on it if not you may want to hold off on it unless you're okay you know just kind of sitting on the item for six months or nine months otherwise if it's above 33 percent then you you know that you have a pretty good chance of selling it in the first 90 days or less if you can get 50 60 70 you
could probably sell it in under a month or a week all right so that's how you do uh sell the rates how quickly an item will sell how many items are available supply and demand all that good stuff if there's any other questions let me know I'll answer them in the comment section uh below as always and make sure you hit that big blue thumb turn it blue like this video And subscribe I'll see everyone next time
