I quit my job after 20 yrs to go full time as a reseller and I don’t regret it one bit. I am so much happier and LOVE what I’m doing. 💕 Some months are better than others but I won’t turn back. I love working for myself. Love watching your channel.
This has been SO inspiring! I've been reselling for 6 weeks and I've profited (after fees, product costs, EVERYTHING) $1,100! I am SO contemplating quitting my job. This video made me smile because I know I can get there. I needed this. Thank you 😙
I've been a children's clothes Reseller for many many years..Full time all NEW clothes with tags...love it ..it's only recently I've started with UA-cam
After watching videos from so many experienced sellers....and don't get me wrong, they are so helpful....seeing someone new start the journey awesome.....get to see the early steps and successes. Thanks
Good for you, that's amazing! I just started (not full time), had my first sale on Nov. 1 and have sold about $1700. I'm excited to subscribe to you and watch someone that is in the beginning stages but a little ahead of me! Great motivation!
Very inspirational! I am working on starting ebay selling myself. Seeing your enthusiasm and positivity gets me motivated to help reach my first months goals. Keep up the good work!
That's awesome my friend. I'm a fulltime ebay seller also and I just started with maybe $20 and I've built my store up with my sales now my inventory never drops below $7000
Wow I'm impressed. I'm starting my third month and thought I was doing all right. Lol 60 items sold. I do work a full-time job as a house cleaner and I'm raising two children ages five and six therefore I have to do the morning thing preparing them for school and the afterschool thing and preparing them for bed. I sure would love to quit my job because I love love love love love doing this too.
You're great! I plan on going part time at work as soon as I pass the boards next year to resell. When I go away I usually just prompt whoever buys from me that I won't be able to ship until I return, I have never had anyone ask me to cancel and I always throw in a little something extra for waiting. Keep the videos coming this is so helpful
My best advice is that you keep your overhead low. I am mainly a shoe reseller and pay anywhere from .25 cents to $10 per pair. Clothes .50 cents. Learn your thrift sales and incentives; you will gain profit.
Hi Bethany. I'm so happy for the information you post. You are an inspiration to people you are interested in this business, like myself. I do have questions, although I just wanted to say thank you for your honest info.
just subbed! your my first sub! thanks for the inspiration. i nrecently quit my job of 8 years and started my own renovation business.. it has been going so-so but i am really wanting to get into the online retail market with reselling on ebay and having a store on shopify. i am still very new and buying things to get setup. i have purchased a new camera and a deask to start setting up an office area for posting and cleaned out two rooms of my house for holding inventory and making picture areas etc. but anyways i have definetely used ebay alot in the past but still havent posted my first item yet as my venture into ebay full time. itomorrow is friday and i will be getting up at 6am to go to rummages and goodwills and etc. i will be using this weekend to finish up the office and staging areas and etc and hopefully posting my first 50ish items on monday.. but all in all here goes!
Are you still selling? Did you open a business account on eBay? Do you have a store or personal account? I’m just starting out & Im not sure how to handle the legal side of it. You’re video is great! Thanks for sharing!!!
Another Idea for traveling incase you have to much to take with you is to add a LONG like 10 day handling time to all your items and then send out an email letting people who purchase things know that you are on vacation and in case they didnt notice you have a 10 day handling time. If they want to cancel the sale thats totally ok but if not it will ship out when you get home. 95% will keep the sale and be cool with it a every once in while someone wanted the item right away and will ask to cancel the sale.
Thats awesome 👍 I only netted $600 my first month. I went from 130 items to almost 300. Second month in, I netted $1600 and at 600 items. Hoping this month I break even from my full time. I had money put back to keep me going. I am hoping to net $60k the 1st year. I'll have a lot of personal expenses falling off me this year which I am glad to get that breathing room
I'm just starting out too but only have a few items on my account so not a store yet. Can you do a shipping vid? Do you wash items? Do you put clothes in clear poly bags? How do you ship shoes and cost to ship shoes? I kno 99 questions...
Yes I would recommend washing the items you are selling (seems more professional, unless you are penny pinching). In regards to using poly bags, unless your margins are good as in 40-70% profit, yes I would unless again cost is the issue. My 2cents =)
naturegirl2110 you can order a priority "shoe box" off of usps website for free.. I order 25 at a time. If you have your own boxes you can ship them parcel select and it's a little bit cheaper. On average shoes ship anywhere from 9 dollars to 16 dollars depending on weight and distance. Out of my shoes I shipped this week the average cost was 12 dollars and change. All nikes sell well... I sold a pair today for 42.00 plus 11.99 shipping. They cost me 6 dollars at goodwill. I had some converse that sold for 60 dollars last week and they cost 4 dollars... Now these converse had a flame design on them that they don't make anymore but those are things to look for when your shopping.... Converse can because they don't all sell for a lot.... Anyways if u have questions I will try to answer them
I'm looking into starting to sell on ebay also. Doing lots of research right now. Hoping to start my store very soon. This is encouraging seeing that you made that much in one month.
really inspiring video - I like your motto 'quit your job 'I am late 20s and really so tired of working my 9-5 job - its just so scary to think of leaving it but I think you are so brave !!
Far be it for a part-time seller like myself (who truly only lists items in the hope of selling them to fund my hobby) to tell you how to run your business. Seems from hearing about your success thus far though, that the last thing you need is advice. So best of luck, my friend. I think that your well on your way...Go Billikens!!!😋
Polly mailer's are great. Also keep up with model and UPC codes that's current egrithem on Ebay. Keeping good photos are key. Remember to keep all detail in from the pc. Also use item price you make 2x as much this way
Do you have roommates and/or a husband? The amount of sales you started off with didn't seem like it would be sustainable if you were living by yourself in most cities... I make over $3K profit per month selling online and I still don't want to quit my $50K-60K/Yr. job. I live by myself in a large city, though.
You did amazing, I think most make 500- 1000 their first month! You have to spend money to make money and sometimes have to pay up for items just how it goes, every month will be different but if you work hard and give it your all, should grow every month.
Good for you. If you have to travel you can put your store on vacation. As long as you don't mind a shit load of packing when you return. I have been selling on Ebay part time since 1999. A couple good youtube channels to follow are Craigslist Hunter and Goldenfingerpicker.
Feels so inspiring to listen to something like this! Best of luck to you! It really sucks to have the same lame and boring routine day after day... Live is supposed to be exciting and different!
Gotta check Craigslist for free poly mailers. Can sometimes score. Or a business that wants you to come get their free really good boxes every few weeks.
I sell shoes on eBay As well as other items.. Was in motorcycle accident and can't work but eBay has been great for me. Garage sales can be better than thrift stores... If anyone has questions for me I will be glad to help. I'm new but my sales are around 3500 a month been doing it about 4 months
Credit Millionaire hey man. I would love to link up and pick your brain 🧠. I’m just getting started and was kinda forced into it as well. Chronic illness and disabilities making it very difficult to work full time. There’s so much info out here and it can all be a bit daunting. I currently have 25 items up on eBay and 75 more waiting to get listed.
What are your tips? I'm new on ebay, about a week now. I've so far got 9 items. A dress, 2 mens shirts and 4 books. I've had a few views on each item, but no watchers or offers. I've paid attention to the description, photos/lighting ect from watching tips on other reseller videos. I guess no one probably trusts my sales, since I have no reviews. Any suggestions? I want buy and add more things, but want to go in the direct direction. I found an awesome Equalizer for a music set up for $10 today. Sales show it at $60-80 used on Ebay. Sorry for the rant. Any help would be appreciated! :)
Hey there, I love this video! I've watched it a couple times now and it makes me feel like I could do this full-time. Right now I really want to quit but I only have about 50 items listed. My biggest fear is that quitting will be the the biggest mistake ever and I will screw it all up and be poor LOL but this video makes me feel like I could do it. So thanks, and keep up the good work!
YardSaleZombie hey man. I’m just getting started as well. Although I was kinda forced into it, not able to do much else with disabilities, but nothing ventured nothing gained right. How are you doing now?
How did your site look like when you first started posting items up for sale? How did you get yourself out there and how did people start buying from your online store?
congrats ! how does it actually work when you go on vacations ? do you temporarily close your store ? Do you hire somebody to handle the shipping ? Do you bring clothes with you ?
congratulations! can't wait until I can do the same 😉 just getting started with reselling as a business for me. I have sold my own personal for many years.
This is so encouraging!! I've just started and it's not going as fast as I'd like! How long did you sell part time before going full time?? And what were you first few months like of part time?? Love your videos thanks so much!!!
I've been getting disheartened by Ebay as of lately. After watching this video, I feel like I've recaptured some of the lost love I had for the platform. Please continue to make videos. Your enthusiasm is contagious. I've also started following you on IG. Thank you!!!
Darlene C. Keep your feet moving. The longer you stay with it, the better you will get, and the more you will make. I will tell you that knowing what I know now, I probably left $100k or more in the table. Keep trying and keep learning. There is a lot of money to be made.
Thanks! Don't worry, I get dishearten too sometimes. Just take a break and go do something you love and then come back to it;) Sometimes I take days off and don't do anything eBay related just to refresh myself and I always come back ready to go!
I know this is coming over a year later and you no doubt found this out yourself already but others might find it helpful.....You can deduct a good portion of your living expenses on your taxes. rent/mortgage, insurance, utilities, computer, printer, ink, internet, any fees charged using Paypal, Ebay or Amazon also shipping fees you pay.
That is awesome! First no th any you clear 3k+ that's great. For one person that's a respectable income for anyone. Always room to grow but that is a great start for sure. It is also nice to have videos made as your doing the process it is better than looking back after you have "made it" I am still part time but making videos as I go as well.
I'm quitting my secure full time well paying job to resell full time. Super worried but I have a nest egg. How much did you have saved before you left your job? Also great video, helps me get through some of the doubt.
I just started reselling. I have 4 items for inventory lol! I have had no luck with that. maybe because I have 4 items haha. I guess I should still keep stalking up? I dont know what to do now
Jessee Nixon keep up the hard work and try and find some things that you are willing to purge from your own home to sell to figure out how the system works
Just subscribed to your channel. I really need income as a stay at home mom. I am brand new. I've sold some stuff on ebay but I really don't know what will sell? I've honestly tried thriftin but probably not good at it. I would love to make this a full time thing. I live in MN. I love to shop, i love to bargain so where to begin? If you could post more how to vids that would help. Your not boring! Your helpful!
Hi, Im a new reseller and Im very glad I found your channel. I have 100 listings right now but Im trying to improve and grow now. Im still working fulltime but would love to be where your at.
I relate. Just got laid off and I am still in shock I'm glad I got laid off 4th quarter I'm glad there is someone out there I can relate to thanks for the vid. Do you just do eBay?
You talk about your store, do you actually have one of those stores on eBay or do you just have an eBay account and sell like that? Where do you get your stock, items to sell? Thanks
I'm curios how January went? I started selling part time in November. Nov & Dec were great. January was about half as much revenue for me with more listings up.
Congratulations on your journey !!!! I did star selling on eBay couples of weeks ago , my problem is , how is possible to make any money , when you open an account and they only give you an option to list 5 items in the fist month ?? Any suggestion ?
I just came across your channel an love your positive energy .I have the desire to turn my eBay account into a store .i have sold over the years here an there things I no longer needed,but now I feel I'm ready to take it to the next level an have a store.im a stay at home mom just trying to bring extra income in the home.being out of work so long ,I'm having trouble getting hire anywhere so I think working for myself will be the best choice for me at this point.any advice for me ? An in your opinion what do you think is a Number one best item that sells on eBay?
Me three. I’ve got a cpl chronic Illness that keep me from working full time. So this is what I’m choosing to do as well. Haven’t made the jump to store yet but going to this week I think. How have you ladies dine?
Good job your on your way! My first month was one of my best in the first year. Mostly because I sold my best stuff first, most of which took me months to find. So don't be disappointed if this is your best month for a few. My advice for sourcing besides the obvious thrift stores is estate auctions (buy the box lots). And look at the bulk and grab bag items on shopgoodwil dot com. I tried storage auctions but never really did very well, just a lot of junk fit for a garage sale. Wholesale pallets were so so because most stuff on them is common and sells for bottom dollar with a lot of competition. And many items on pallets are broken or incomplete. Some of my biggest mistakes: throwing away things I thought were ugly or worthless without doing my homework, buying things I was sure were valuable and barely breaking even (again homework), and most importantly not doing my books on a monthly basis. Other than that it has provided a comfortable living and I don't regret quitting my job. Thanks.
When you first list an item do you list as an auction? I used to always list 5 day fixed price w/ best offer first and if they didint sell i would just relist as "good till cancel"
Hi...i just started reselling..i still work part time but ultimately want to do this full time..may i ask what platforms are you selling on?? I use offerup, ebay, fb, and letgo. Thanks in advance for your time.
Thats Pretty Good Not Too Bad At All Keep It Up Having Good Quality Items On Your Ebay With 500 Listings Consistintly Youll Be Able To Scale In Profit Really Well With The Average Of 500 Listings :)
I quit my job after 20 yrs to go full time as a reseller and I don’t regret it one bit. I am so much happier and LOVE what I’m doing. 💕 Some months are better than others but I won’t turn back. I love working for myself. Love watching your channel.
yaaaasss! I just started reselling and this video gets me pumped to continue on my reselling journey!!
Jose Aguilar where are you from?
Jose Aguilar me too. Except I’m a year behind you. How’s it going now?
1 year later, how is your reselling going?

Elsie Creek what are you selling to sell $1700 your 1st month? I'm a PT reseller so looking for any advice. TIA
Very inspirational! I am working on starting ebay selling myself. Seeing your enthusiasm and positivity gets me motivated to help reach my first months goals. Keep up the good work!
That's awesome my friend. I'm a fulltime ebay seller also and I just started with maybe $20 and I've built my store up with my sales now my inventory never drops below $7000
I was wondering whats you goal is to profit off each item.
Wow I'm impressed. I'm starting my third month and thought I was doing all right. Lol 60 items sold. I do work a full-time job as a house cleaner and I'm raising two children ages five and six therefore I have to do the morning thing preparing them for school and the afterschool thing and preparing them for bed. I sure would love to quit my job because I love love love love love doing this too.
Giselebushey wow you’ve got a lot going on. Congrats to you as well. How are you doing with reselling now?
How are you doing 1 year later?
You're great! I plan on going part time at work as soon as I pass the boards next year to resell.

I love how positive you are by sharing how you feel and want everyone to succeed. Awesomeness at its finest!
Congrats! Can you do an office/inventory tour next?
Hi Bethany. I'm so happy for the information you post. You are an inspiration to people you are interested in this business, like myself. I do have questions, although I just wanted to say thank you for your honest info.
just subbed! your my first sub! thanks for the inspiration. i nrecently quit my job of 8 years and started my own renovation business.. it has been going so-so but i am really wanting to get into the online retail market with reselling on ebay and having a store on shopify. i am still very new and buying things to get setup. i have purchased a new camera and a deask to start setting up an office area for posting and cleaned out two rooms of my house for holding inventory and making picture areas etc. but anyways i have definetely used ebay alot in the past but still havent posted my first item yet as my venture into ebay full time. itomorrow is friday and i will be getting up at 6am to go to rummages and goodwills and etc. i will be using this weekend to finish up the office and staging areas and etc and hopefully posting my first 50ish items on monday.. but all in all here goes!

Thanks , I’m just starting you’ve inspired me!
Polly mailer's are great. Also keep up with model and UPC codes that's current egrithem on Ebay. Keeping good photos are key. Remember to keep all detail in from the pc. Also use item price you make 2x as much this way
Game Centeral 2009 as opposed to auction? How do you keep up with currents UPC codes?
These are good numbers. Congrats! Just watch out after Christmas and into summer clothing sales drop off like a rock.
I have not had that issue after selling for 6 years haha
just thrift it are you having it now? The end of last month and this month have been horrible. Lowball offer central
Do you have roommates and/or a husband? The amount of sales you started off with didn't seem like it would be sustainable if you were living by yourself in most cities... I make over $3K profit per month selling online and I still don't want to quit my $50K-60K/Yr. job. I live by myself in a large city, though.
I'm so excited to turn full time!! I expect to be home by May :) You are an inspiration to help me
MiKall Dominski did you do it? How’s it going?
Great video! I am a reseller as well and I want to grow bigger with this! Thank you for the amazing information!

Awesome video I'm super proud of you! I'm 26 & new about to grow my eBay & channel thanks for the inspiration!
Congrats! I just quit my job and am going to pursue reselling full-time, so this was super helpful. :-)
Flipping Cute from the British airways movies you have I encourage you to have a great time in prison

Hi there, How is it going for you now, I am adding this to my streams of income.
Feels so inspiring to listen to something like this! Best of luck to you! It really sucks to have the same lame and boring routine day after day... Live is supposed to be exciting and different!
Gotta check Craigslist for free poly mailers. Can sometimes score. Or a business that wants you to come get their free really good boxes every few weeks.
Send me info please

Great job Bethany! You are off to a great start. I enjoyed the video.
I also started reselling full time. Kinda scary but it is so rewarding being your own boss! keep up the good work!
THANK YOU ! I am following and really ramping up. Goal is to quit July 11 !!! Watched you and Nicole...mySHEROE ! Thanks Elle
Ellen Augustine hey! Please check out my Ebay shed ! ua-cam.com/video/fQpEggFBwN0/v-deo.html ♥️ would love the support 💕
Hey there, I love this video! I've watched it a couple times now and it makes me feel like I could do this full-time. Right now I really want to quit but I only have about 50 items listed.

YardSaleZombie hey man. I’m just getting started as well. Although I was kinda forced into it, not able to do much else with disabilities, but nothing ventured nothing gained right. How are you doing now?
You just cleared almost twice what I did during my first month. Your margins are great. Why are you not selling on more platforms???
Eric Martindale do you sell on multiple platforms? Crosslist?
How did your site look like when you first started posting items up for sale?
How did you get yourself out there and how did people start buying from your online store?
You are doing great, now ad Amazon FBA to go along with Ebay.
Great videos! It'd be awesome to see a video on how long you wait/your strategy for offering "best offer" and auctions rather than only "buy now."
congrats ! how does it actually work when you go on vacations ? do you temporarily close your store ? Do you hire somebody to handle the shipping ? Do you bring clothes with you ?
congratulations! can't wait until I can do the same 😉 just getting started with reselling as a business for me. I have sold my own personal for many years.
Congrats on a successful selling month! Thank you so much for sharing your knowledge 😊
Hey I resell part time, only been doing it for 5 months. So brace of you to quit your job!
Can you Then- Now video comparing numbers a year later?? I would be really interested in knowing how the progression can be!
Lucy Ireland yes!! I’d love to see that as well.
watch out and plan for summer, sales can really slow down a lot.
Thanks for the info Bethany! Good luck with future selling! 👍🏻
Great channel! Subscribed Its great to see how you acquire your products as I currently buy in bulk. Ill definitely keep watching how you do it
This is so encouraging!! I've just started and it's not going as fast as I'd like! How long did you sell part time before going full time?? And what were you first few months like of part time?? Love your videos thanks so much!!!
Rebekah Summitt I’d love to hear how you are doing now. I’m about where you were 7/8 months ago.
Those numbers are great! You must have a good eye for finding high quality stuff
Congrats! That was a very good month in my book.
From a newbie, thank you so much for making these videos!
Do you still sell fulltime? What kind of growth have you experienced?
Haha! "If this is boring to you, please don't subscribe..." LOL! I already love you! Just found you today! Thx for the video, woo-hoo!!!
I've been getting disheartened by Ebay as of lately. After watching this video, I feel like I've recaptured some of the lost love I had for the platform. Please continue to make videos. Your enthusiasm is contagious. I've also started following you on IG. Thank you!!!

It is also nice to have videos made as your doing the process it is better than looking back after you have "made it" I am still part time but making videos as I go as well.
I love it to I quit my job and I am a reseller. You are so inspirational keep the good work up
One question. If ur new how were you able to post so much. Ebay limits the amount of items you can post. Please clarify if I missed something. Thanks
My gf and I just got started in the last month. We want to go full time too.
The second you said you pack and take everything with you I liked and Subscribed! Commitment Goals! lol
I'm quitting my secure full time well paying job to resell full time. Super worried but I have a nest egg. How much did you have saved before you left your job? Also great video, helps me get through some of the doubt.
I just started reselling. I have 4 items for inventory lol! I have had no luck with that. maybe because I have 4 items haha. I guess I should still keep stalking up? I dont know what to do now
Jessee Nixon keep up the hard work and try and find some things that you are willing to purge from your own home to sell to figure out how the system works
Just subscribed to your channel. I really need income as a stay at home mom. I am brand new. I've sold some stuff on ebay but I really don't know what will sell? I've honestly tried thriftin but probably not good at it. I would love to make this a full time thing. I live in MN. I love to shop, i love to bargain so where to begin? If you could post more how to vids that would help. Your not boring! Your helpful!
👋 Hello! Are you still reselling full time?
Thanks for sharing, Good first month! Welcome to the full time club, just subbed I also share my reselling journey!
How long was it before things started consistently selling? I feel impatient and scared that I've wasted a bunch of money sourcing.
Charlotta Richards now a year later how do you feel? How have things worked out?
Hi, Im a new reseller and Im very glad I found your channel. I have 100 listings right now but Im trying to improve and grow now. Im still working fulltime but would love to be where your at.
Thanks for sharing!!
Angel Sullivan how is the selling going now?
yes its theway to go
That's awesome congratulations! I'm also working my way up and I love it! Maybe I'll see in at the thrift stores lol in KC
I relate. Just got laid off and I am still in shock I'm glad I got laid off 4th quarter I'm glad there is someone out there I can relate to thanks for the vid. Do you just do eBay?
You talk about your store, do you actually have one of those stores on eBay or do you just have an eBay account and sell like that? Where do you get your stock, items to sell? Thanks
sounds like you're doing pretty good. keep up the good job.
I'm curios how January went? I started selling part time in November. Nov & Dec were great. January was about half as much revenue for me with more listings up.
Congrats Bethany!
You are so inspiring!!
Tracy Vinson congrats keep it up
Congratulations on your journey !!!! I did star selling on eBay couples of weeks ago , my problem is , how is possible to make any money , when you open an account and they only give you an option to list 5 items in the fist month ?? Any suggestion ?
I think the more you list, eventually ebay increasing the amount you can list a month. Not 100% sure on this though.
Very informative and you have a great personality! You remind me of my friend becky the way you talk! New subscriber here!!!
Very good! Don't forget to allocate some the money for taxes.
Just subscribed to your channel! im a semi new full time reseller myself! Can totally relate to everything in yours videos!

I just came across your channel an love your positive energy .I have the desire to turn my eBay account into a store .i have sold over the years here an there things I no longer needed,but now I feel I'm ready to take it to the next level an have a store.im a stay at home mom just trying to bring extra income in the home.being out of work so long ,I'm having trouble getting hire anywhere so I think working for myself will be the best choice for me at this point.any advice for me ? An in your opinion what do you think is a Number one best item that sells on eBay?
I'm on the same situation.. Did you start a store, Lissette?
Me three. I’ve got a cpl chronic Illness that keep me from working full time. So this is what I’m choosing to do as well. Haven’t made the jump to store yet but going to this week I think. How have you ladies dine?
Hey Bethany, love your videos. I'm wondering do you use mostly 30 day listings or seven or 10 day actions?
Awesome! Read previous comments and good luck everyone!!!
What about the ebay , paypal, and the shipping fees.. Surely those fees were a lot higher.
So, it's 2019....are you still reselling?? How's it going?
i would love to know also
Thanks so much for sharing your story!
That seems like a great first month.
Awesome. Thank you for sharing this is very encouraging.
Holy cow,you rocked it !!!
Good job your on your way!
My first month was one of my best in the first year. Mostly because I sold my best stuff first, most of which took me months to find. So don't be disappointed if this is your best month for a few. My advice for sourcing besides the obvious thrift stores is estate auctions (buy the box lots). And look at the bulk and grab bag items on shopgoodwil dot com. I tried storage auctions but never really did very well, just a lot of junk fit for a garage sale. Wholesale pallets were so so because most stuff on them is common and sells for bottom dollar with a lot of competition. And many items on pallets are broken or incomplete. Some of my biggest mistakes: throwing away things I thought were ugly or worthless without doing my homework, buying things I was sure were valuable and barely breaking even (again homework), and most importantly not doing my books on a monthly basis. Other than that it has provided a comfortable living and I don't regret quitting my job. Thanks.
Great advice thanks!
Pay Pal? do you get a lot of people wanting refunds? thax
When you first list an item do you list as an auction? I used to always list 5 day fixed price w/ best offer first and if they didint sell i would just relist as "good till cancel"
Jae_ Netti how do you list now ? I’m just getting going.
I'm getting ready to start amazon FBA just for that reason of still making money when i head home. good vid
Hi...i just started reselling..i still work part time but ultimately want to do this full time..may i ask what platforms are you selling on?? I use offerup, ebay, fb, and letgo. Thanks in advance for your time.
