yo what is good what is up everybody
let me alright let me just let me just
take that off for now but letting you
guys know I'm taking all my precautions
still over here in Boston we slowly you
know going through the phases of
reopening I know some other places
already a little more open than we are
still just you know setting you guys
good vibes and then you know just still
stay safe out there be careful with
yourself but guys today you got like a
vlog style going this is totally
different for me we're gonna be pulling
out the gimbal as well today actually
don't have it on right now but we can we
pull out the gimbal as well today and
today guys we are doing a sneaker sale I
thought I'd bring you guys along with me
if you guys like the vlog style let me
know in the comment section below and by
hitting that thumbs up I definitely
would love to bring some more of these
as we start opening up more and more and
getting out of this quarantine I also
thought while I'm here let's vlog the
kind of transaction let's vlog my little
sneaker deal I guess but also I wanted
to do a little bit of a how to sell
sneakers locally and more specifically
how to sell sneakers on Facebook I know
everybody recently is I'm talking about
stock ex hate the fees hate the way
they're doing things blah blah blah blah
and as I've mentioned in past videos
guys if you're not a fan of the way a
company is providing their service or
selling their product the best thing you
can do as a consumer is use your power
as a consumer to not use a service not
buy their product and go find
alternatives I mean this is a capitalist
economy competition is a big part of it
and so if you don't like stock X go try
out goat if you don't like go go do
Grail Facebook is a great way to do it I
know a lot of people have had success
obviously you don't have the
verification process of a goat or stock
X so just do your research know your
stuff first I'm gonna tell you about how
this transaction came about we're gonna
do into how to some steps on how to sell
and then I'll show you guys you know
what the fits looking like today and
what I got on feet and then you know we
try to get some clips of the actual
transactions if possible if not it's
whatever I'm gonna force anybody to be
on camera how did this transaction came
about so it is about like 130 ish p.m.
on Memorial Day but the day before so
Sunday I was up late listen I'm like a
lot of you Steve scheduled all messed up
because of the core
tene and everything I was literally like
2 or 3 a.m. I'm just chilling there
watching some YouTube watching some
Netflix or whatever I'm like you know
what let's move some shoes as much as I
do want to hold a little bit longer I
kind of want to just move some shoes and
you know put that part of that money
back into stocks and then part of it
back into sneakers I already felt that I
got a good enough profit that I'm happy
with it obviously could it be higher of
course so it was like 2:00 3:00 a.m. I'm
like you know what let's put up a
listing on Facebook what I did is I you
know posted it up I posted on my
facebook on my groups and within 30 to
45 minutes I sold five out of the six
pairs and before you know we had deals
in place and money was talked big
business baby I talked about how my
process came along for this look
literally I didn't expect to sell I
didn't expect to sell children when I
woke up in the morning and within 30
minutes before I went to sleep I had
deals done for most of them let's talk
about how to how can you sell sneakers
on Facebook first off obviously you
gotta have a Facebook account you don't
have one already make one I don't really
use Facebook for anything outside of
sneakers anymore I just have it there
just to have it and then go look up
groups sneaker groups so if you're from
Chicago for example look up Chicago
sneaker heads Chicago sneaker trade
Chicago sneaker group look that up in
Facebook most of them are on private on
they have to approve you to join so go
there request from a bunch you know
joined like the top three top five most
popular for your area as long as you
have some sort of a real profile like a
profile picture and stuff they should
accept you make sure you read the rules
so you're not you know going again
saying the rules getting yourself kicked
out or whatever but after that you're
gonna list you're gonna go into one of
your groups click list you're gonna put
up a photo I suggest putting up a photo
with you know your shoes if they're you
know on top of the boxes take a picture
of all of them have all your pairs
visible what's gonna ask you for a price
if you have a firm price in mind you're
only selling one pair and put that price
down on it if not if you're selling
multiple pairs or you don't have a firm
price just put zero one dollar for each
shoe that you have there you're gonna
put the shoe name so for example a
Jordan one core purple 2.0 and then I
put - and then the size so size 11 and
if you have a firm price put it there
put like hey I want however much
best offer or if you're not firm price
like I was I was just kind of testing
the waters I don't put the price there I
put all the shoes and all this ideas
that I have what I'll say is hey you
know message me if interested but what
you'll do is you wait for people to
message you on facebook messenger if
your firm on price your firm on price
but if you're testing the waters trying
to see what people are offering for
certain pairs do not talk price in the
comments do not talk price on your post
right one thing that I guess is a
disadvantage of stock X is as a seller
you're competing against all the other
sellers and all the other buyers can see
the prices of all the other sellers so
everybody's constantly undercutting
everybody but here at a Facebook group
you don't have to make your prices
public so have them message you and in
some ways you can kind of start a little
bit of a bidding war but that's if you
as a seller are taking control taking
power over that advantage and not doing
that in the comments section do that
through messages also like you just
don't want to be doing transactions in a
comment section I just don't think
that's very professional in general on
top of that if you have a target price
in mind right like let's say your target
price is like 75 bucks for example do
not off the bat somebody hit you up be
like yo I want 75 bucks right if you're
super firm if that's the only price
you'll take and you think it's a good
competitive price fine do that 75 bucks
firm right and don't either be like all
right I can do that all right I can't
but for most the time when people are
hitting you up you're gonna be like hey
you shoot me an offer they're gonna
shoot you an offer and you're gonna have
a price in mind your first offer should
never be that exact price your first
offer should never be the 75 that's what
you're looking for
start off at 85 start off at 90 start
off at 100 if you have to this is
business guys I know a lot of people
talk about like you know don't lowball
me don't give me too high of a price or
whatever but at the end of the day guys
this is business and yeah obviously you
know if you want 75 you don't wanna be
starting at 150 like that's just wild
but you can start off at 95 start off at
100 that way when you're like hey you
know what how about 100 god comes back
he's like hey how about 70 and you said
meet me in the middle of 85 boom now you
got a deal compared to if you started 75
die comes back with an offer is like yo
can you do 50 can you do 60 next thing
you know you a little bit lower than
what you actually wanted so keep that in
mind
and then after that one big advantage of
selling on Facebook is that you don't
have to pay shipping fees you don't have
to pay verification fees so you're
keeping a hundred percent of the profit
it's better for you as a seller and it's
actually better for a lot of the buyers
as well because they don't have to pay
fees as well and they can get their
product faster than if a stock X or a
goat or an online platform take all
those into account when you're pricing
as well don't be out here saying hey
I'll just I'll sell it to you for the
price that you can buy it for on stock X
with fees because at that point they
just buy that stock X so keep that in
mind do your research when you're
selling and then the last part the most
important guys that stay safe when
you're doing Meetup first and foremost
meetup in a public area I personally
don't like to have people pull up in my
house where I want to give out my
address and things like that right now
I'm pulling about like a park slash
apartment complex near my home it's open
and it's daytime be safe out there guys
if there wasn't a quarantine stuff right
now I'd probably bring a friend with me
just to chill just wait as the people
pull up but also just to have someone
there be safe they're out there guys and
then on top of that extra precautions
with everything going on in the world
right now even if you're slowly open up
just be safe out there wear a mask you
know wear gloves do what you need to do
hand sanitizer have that ready that's
really how you can sell sneakers on
Facebook sell them locally and that's
another alternative guys for people who
are complaining about stocks that's
another thing you guys should explore
like I said for me it was within 30 to
45 minutes of posting at like 2:00 a.m.
literally 2:00 a.m. and I already sold
most of my stuff so it seems like it's
working well for me obviously it as my
won't be the same for everybody it
depends on your sneaker groups where you
lives and things like that definitely a
better alternative than having to pay
those fees which I understand can be a
lot I'll show you guys the fit we'll see
what we're rocking today and we'll hop
right into the vlog all right people I
thought I'd show you to fit real quick
you know we still got that classic black
Nike hat that I rock it seems like in
every video recently but your boy still
hasn't got a haircut yet so gonna get a
cut soon then we'll be done but for now
we're still rockin with the hat ya know
we're still rocking with it kind of
jealous all the people that y'all laters
open it up y'all got haircuts and stuff
but now I'm still shabby as hell anyway
got the lyrical lemonade a tea that I
picked up with the collaboration with
FTP
take a look at the back alright so um
body we got the classic Nike great XT
shorts the zipper broke so I had to do a
little replacement genki genki but I've
had these for a minute now and then of
course the shadow ones on feet oh boy
he's the first time breaking in the
mouth outside the house
[Music]
we got to do this quickly because people
will come but we've got a lot of pair of
ones see here these are the core purple
2.0 size 11 this is the Royal toes I
believe this is the six-and-a-half why
one day and a half one into two and this
is the other of the two it was six and a
half eight and a half whatever I got a
nine as well this is the pair of Yi's
reals I was going to keep for the
personal decided I didn't want them sold
them my size ten and a half I got you
guys in the trunk right now
but we're back hope you can hear me mask
up got the gloves on like I said I'm
just being safe out here still I want to
take all the precautions but we got all
the shoes sitting here in the trunk
I'd give heed them up into the one pile
of the four purple super nose for the
one guy and then the other four pairs
for the other dude should be pull it up
here with the next ten minutes or so and
we'll see if we get it on camera if not
whatever you get nice boom I've got no
faithless nice open it and this let it
sit there I was gonna hold a little bit
longer but if I wanted some cash right
now doing a lot of invest in stocks
getting low right there so yeah yeah
demo works whatever works I just usually
don't carry cash that's why I ask you
mainly want to collect resell what you
think I should just hope I never end up
selling so I'm just like all right
everybody we're back at the crib as you
can tell with the more familiar
background where you used to my videos
but del t let me know what you guys
think about the vlog styles my first
time ever doing it
definitely if you guys like it let me
know in the comments below and of course
smash that like button if you want to
see more high quality content bringing
you better and better content each and
every time definitely hit that subscribe
button we got some footage of the first
transaction which is really the one that
we care about the main one the guy who
bought the four shoes you guys can saw a
little bit of clip that I know the audio
wasn't great just because it was further
away I have my mask on - I definitely
think it was a good addition to the
video however I didn't get clips for the
second transaction just because I
thought the video for one was already
going to be way too long but on top of
that my gimbal was running out of power
so I just decided to forego it anyway it
was a quick transaction guy stopped by
checked him out real quick I had the
shoe pops receipt already in there
he was like yeah checks out Zelda knee
real quick and we were done
with that transaction in less than a few
minutes so if you guys could smash that
thumbs up button once again that'd be
greatly appreciated but for now guys
just take it easy
