Hey guys, and welcome back to Rad V Sales! I'm Natalie, and I'm Will. In today's video, we have the best of both worlds. We went thrifting and found a new high-value bolo brand that you definitely need to be on the lookout for.
Then, you know hard goods—Will is back! We found a crate of one item that should get us well over $100, fingers crossed.
In the second part of the video, we have a "What Sold" portion, and we had a $140 sale, so stay tuned, and let's get into it!
[Music]
So, I came across a bolo brand that you should definitely be on the lookout for. You see that little birdie? This is Bird Dogs. They're well known for their shoes; they make some wool shoes, but their clothing does excellent as well.
In terms of these pants here, the sell-through rate is phenomenal. We should get about $35 to $40 on these. I am definitely trying to find a pair in my size, but I think this is the second pair of pants that we have found. The first one has sold. The condition looks A1. Always want to check the crotch too, to make sure that there's no wear or holes there.
I think I'm going to put this one back. These only go for like $20 to $25, but there is a lot of wear. It is a good size, but I have a feeling with this gray, it's probably got a stain somewhere. I just don't like how the material has all that wear on it already. I'll ask Natalie to see what she thinks, because we can use the fabric shaver, but that's a lot of work for a little bit of profit.
Bird Dogs!
So, looking at the shoes here, I was coming to the end, and then I spotted those—not Doc Martens, but they caught my eye. I took a look at them. This brand is called Blundstone, Tasmania, Australia. The bottom sole also has the brand Blundstone. I had never heard about this brand before, but they are in really good condition.
I looked them up, and this is a high-value brand. Now, this size is either a 9 or a 6; I think it's a 9, and these should go for around $50 to $90.
Will, have you heard about this brand, Blundstone?
No! $50 to $90? Shut up!
Yeah, they sort of remind me of Doc Martens.
I literally said I saw these—not Doc Martens—with boots like this. You expect some wear on the front there, right?
I was just talking about this. What do you think about the condition on this? Should we only get like $20 for them?
Yeah, I would say no. That's what I thought.
Bird Dogs! Nice!
Yeah, I heard the birds chirping. I was like, "There's got to be Bird Dogs!" What are the odds?
Well, this is a duck!
Okay, these ones quack. A duck is still a bird!
Oh, I found this hoodie at Goodwill. Check out how cool it is!
In my mom's cart, I put a José Bank leather jacket. We got to talk about that.
Here's the José Bank Executive Collection leather jacket that Will found. This is beautiful, and it's got a nice lining on the inside. Not all leather is the same. This one is genuine leather; I think that is the lowest rank of the leathers, but it's whatever.
As you can see on the eBay comps here, the comps are consistently ranging from $35 to $80. Most of them are actually in the higher end. However, there are 68 listed and only 13 sold, so I'll be pricing these more in the middle of that range in hopes for a quicker sale.
We never come across stuff like this!
I know! It looks like we got some vintage Power Rangers here. He just spotted this box, and from the side, you can't see what it is, but inside, there are tons of action figures from 1996, I think, Bandai. $9 for this whole box of action figures!
Oh, that's from Star Wars!
Yeah! Hi, hi, hi! Power Rangers!
This Ninja Turtle—oh, he's cool!
Depending on—oh, they're like kind of sticky too. We might just toss them in a bath.
$199? That could be something cool!
Okay, let's look some of them up.
Okay, so I have just been Google photoing these, and they're not coming up as being worth a lot. I'm talking $5 to $10 each. This one maybe $15, but anyways, there are so many in here that we are thinking for $10, the whole thing will do one lot of vintage action figures or whatever it's called—'90s action figures.
Yeah, because these are all from the '90s, so they're all vintage.
And pop it up one huge lot for $100. Maybe we'll even do bidding, because that'll be fun to follow. You know, start at $50, and whatever happens, happens. It's still profit!
Exactly! Because there's probably over 50—oh, minimum 50 to 75 figures in here. Hopefully, we have like a little diamond in the rough here, right?
Because separately, these aren't really worth the pickup, but together, together we are strong!
Alright, so I wanted to show these guys. Everybody should know this brand—these are HOKAs, a very great running shoe brand to be on the lookout for. With running shoes, you always want to make sure that the treading is good.
These ones here are the Clifton Fives. At our Goodwill, they're $6.99, and the condition isn't great on these, so I'm actually going to be putting these ones back. If they were in slightly better condition, I would have picked them up, and it would have been no less than $30 for these guys.
But this one right here, I want to show—this is like a sleeper bolo: MMA Elite. We've sold a few of their items before. This thermal long sleeve with the cool print and everything—you got the snakes there. I saw one where somebody took an offer for $42, so with the sell-through rate and the size, I expect probably about $30 to $40 for this piece here.
I don't think there's anything on the back, but these are very trendy right now with the whole Y2K movement.
And then this right here, I just want to show—one of the best players to play the game at his position, Shawn Taylor. I'm not going to pick it up; it's going to be for a coworker, but it's just an awesome find.
With these old jerseys, typically they start peeling in the front after some washes.
So, working on the action figures here, I just got some dish detergent, and I'm going to put some hot water in there. All the ones that don't have stickers and stuff, I'm just going to be tossing them in there.
So, let's see what we got. Just show you guys a few of these. She's pretty neat! Hopefully, these aren't all like Burger King toys and stuff like that.
That's pretty cool! They are funky! Look at all that grime on him!
Oh, it looks brand new already!
So, Will was about to throw out this one because it is dirty, so we just took a Google photo, and this is the Power Rangers Galaxy Quazer Sword. It should get $25 to $40 depending on condition. So, if we can clean this up, we gucy pays for the whole lot!
Whole lot and some by itself!
Look at this guy!
What?
So, about 3 hours later, the water is looking a little murky there, getting all that funk and gunk off these guys. Right down here, they are looking spectacular!
Actually, they are obviously in played-with condition, but I'm getting real excited to get this lot of '90s toys listed. I think we're definitely going to do the bidding!
Okay, we are back to the "What Sold" part of the video. We cross-list on multiple platforms, so we are going to start off with Mercari this time.
We got a bread-and-butter bolo brand—it's BK Jeans.
Okay, so not their shirts, not their t-shirts, not their button-ups, but their jeans do overall for men very well. This is the Nolan model, but we've sold plenty of different models by BK. We sold these BK for $30. We do free shipping, and there's no fees, so we walk away with $24.01.
Next up, we have a vintage made in the USA LL Bean Henley sweater. Found this one at a rummage sale. LL Bean sweaters definitely tend to be a pickup, especially if it's wool. This is not, but still sold.
So, we picked this up for $4, like Natalie said, at a rummage sale. It sold for $35, so you do the math. We walk away with $31.
Lastly, on Mercari, we have a brand that you may not have heard of. It's a Scandinavian brand called Fit Jeans, and these were actually mine. Super stretchy, very comfortable. So, if you're looking for very flattering jeans, check them out.
I don't think you can find a lot of these comps on eBay, and that's why it's...
[Laughter]
Mercari! If you have something that you no longer wear and you think it could be worth money, sell it!
And I got these for free, so cost of goods: null. So, sold for $28. We make $28!
By the way, Mercari is actually bringing back these fees come January.
Moving on to Poshmark, this is where we had our over $100 sale—not this one; it's coming up, stay tuned!
First up, we have a pair of Jordan sweatpants with the North Carolina Tar Heels logo embroidered on here. Bread and butter! So, we picked up our pants for $4.89, typically at all the Goodwills around here. These ones sold for $31. After all the fees and everything, we walk away with $17.89.
I don't know why this is my favorite piece. It's coming up! I have no—something just draws me to it.
Next up, we have a sexy Victoria's Secret corset top. It's got the—I don't know what it's called—mesh see-through material. We got this at the Goodwill bins. It says that we bought it for $2.23.
What we do when we go to the Goodwill bins is take the price that we paid for everything and then divide it by the items that we have. Then, every item is just the same price.
Instead of this one weighing 8 ounces, it's technically this. I might put this in a box, actually, because of the strings.
I mean, this sold for $27. We get $19.37.
The $140 sale were these new without box Timberland suede leather hiking boots. Did not expect this to sell for that much when picking them up. It was only after looking up comps that we were like, "Oh my God, this was a good find!"
Yeah, so this one sold for $140. We paid $8. Our profit is $104!
Next up, we have a pair of vintage Y2K Nike track pants, and these are lined. Sold for $27; we get $19.
Next, we have an NFL Washington Redskins hat from Starter. It's acrylic and wool, nice embroidery there.
Now, if you are selling on Depop, you cannot use the word "Redskins." They will remove your listing, so you have to use "Commanders."
We absolutely love selling hats. They're easy to list, easy to photograph, and easy to ship. We sold this for $25; our profit is $14.
Easy clap!
That was a big jump down!
Yeah, I think we got that in the mystery haul for $5.75.
Okay, it wasn't a dollar!
Yeah, usually we pay a dollar at our Goodwills.
Alright, we got a couple of small sales here, but all sales matter; they add up!
We have a Harley-Davidson jeans for women. So, we got these for 28 cents.
Okay, so it's kind of crazy. They sold for $16. After all the fees and everything, we still make $10.50, so right at our $10 threshold, right?
Last one on Poshmark, we have a Territory Ahead button shirt. This one's like a lightweight dress shirt.
Yeah, we got this at the bag sale also for $2.10. Sold for $13. Just missed our $10 mark. We walk away with a profit of $9.84.
Okay, moving on to the next platform, we have Depop. We had one sale and one sale only here, sadly.
This is a beautiful Mitchell & Ness West Virginia sweatshirt. I picked this one up because it's crispy clean, but it's kind of plain.
We always talk about how we want the crazy graphic or the embroidery, but this one was so clean, and it's cream color. West Virginia is navy blue and yellow. Just had a good feeling about it because it's different than what you expect from West Virginia clothing, if that makes sense.
And it sold in a week! It looks brand new!
Yeah, sold for $25; we get $18.
I'll do flips like that all day!
Right? You know what's funny? I had an offer for $20 that I accepted, and then somebody else bought it full price before they purchased it!
You got to be quicker than that!
You got to be quicker! You snooze, you lose!
It's Jacob with a K; that's how we spelled it in Norway!
Jaob! Yob! Jaob! Yob!
Last platform, we got eBay, and we have a new-with-tags Lauren Ralph Lauren dress pants. Anything new with tags by Ralph Lauren should be a pickup.
One thing I love about reselling as a consumer is that these pants were $65 at the retail store, but from Rad V Sales, you glide it for $35 plus shipping.
When I talk about eBay, I'm going to include the shipping price that the buyer paid because I deduct that at the end.
So, these sold for a total of $43 and some change. After all fees and shipping, $25.96 into our pocket!
Continuing with the new-with-tags, I just picked these up at Goodwill—actually new Levi's for women, 725 corduroy pants.
Corduroy pants with the men's pants do well even pre-owned, so it was a no-brainer to pick these up. But actually, they only sell for what the men's pre-owned corduroy pants sell for, even though these are new with tags.
That's crazy! That just shows the difference between men and women!
Yeah, these were $70 new! Insane!
So, if you're going shopping, even just for yourself, and you want new with tags, check eBay or the other platforms first because they will most likely be listed way below MSRP, and they're brand new!
With shipping, sold for $35; we get $19. So, everybody wins, right?
We have a vintage Adidas boxy fit hoodie, heavyweight. Found this one at Goodwill, and I actually kept this one for almost 2 years and wore it a few times, and then it was time for it to go.
It was nice! Me and Natalie went through our closets a few weeks ago and just started clearing out a lot of our old stuff, and it's been selling!
Yes, we decluttered, and we made money doing it!
Yes! And now we can shop more for ourselves!
More clothes! Sold for $33; we get $16.
Moving along, we have a Nike Therma pair of pants. So, Therma, it's like a fleece lining and perfect for this season. These always sell very well—the Therma fits, but it's bread and butter.
So, for $32, we get $15, making a profit of $15 for bread and butter is pretty good!
Alright, next up, we have a stained-up Peter Millar pair of pants. We got stains on the bottom, stains on the logo patch; it even has discoloration on the back pocket.
Not sure if the camera captures that, but they still sold because I priced them cheaper—$20. And I was like, "You know what? I would never wear white pants because I don't want to stain them."
Right, but if I buy them stained, it doesn't even hurt if I sit in a coffee puddle!
You will be so mad you sat in a coffee puddle!
Sold for $28; we get $12.50 for some stained pair of pants.
Last but not least, we have Levi's yet again—a pair of straight-leg jeans for men. We only picked these up because we got them super cheap.
Sold for $23; we get $11.
Alright, that sums up today's thrifting and "What Sold" video. As always, thank you so much for watching until the end of the video!
Don't forget to leave that thumbs up and subscribe if you haven't already. It really does help out the channel.
Other than that, we'll see you on the next one!
