    Glad you liked it, I am continuing the videos today and making another video. This weekend was really busy because I had a ton of orders, but I am making a video on shipping tonight and I will make a video on my step to step process aswell. Thanks for watching!

    I REALLY wish you made more of these videos. I bought a laser printer after I heard your take on those vs inkjet and you were 100% right! My operation is a little bigger, but I'm still a one-man band and your little tips actually have paid off BIGTIME! I thank you VERY much for taking time to make the videos you have made. It helped me go from little to a little bigger and every little step counts.

    Thank you so much. I'm a 75 yr old grandmother going to try to do this and I so much appreciate your videos. When I was in highschool we only had radio, no tv yet... amazing. Luckily I took typing so at least I know where the keys are. I bought a printer and now I have to figure out how to set it up; I guess that's the first thing. I live in South Bend, Indiana and it would be so nice if I could find someone like you here to help me figure things out.

    Mike, I really like the videos, you are such a genuine person- you are of great character. I really appreciate you giving people like us honest, straight up help. Most people out there doing anything aren't about to share it with anyone else. Thanks again! Your good will come back around to you bud.

    I've been watching all your older videos, getting caught up on your content. I've been watching reseller related videos for almost a year and you are one of my favs already, for sure! Glad to know you're back at it!

    Hey Mike, great video. Genuine for sure. I just wanted to let you know that I got laid off, my car broke down and the bus stop was 2 miles away. So getting another job was not going to be easy. So I started watching youtube ebay sellers videos and did some research. Bought $35. worth of colthing and sold it all, as in nothing left all, in 1 month made about 140. Not much, but where else can you quadruple your money in a month. So I think I'll continue on this path. Thank you Mike!

    Just wanted to say thank you. My sorting, admin and packing and photography all occupy this same space, a micro version of yours but with the same purpose. For ease, I use brown wrapping paper on a pull out roll similar to your cellophane roll which by the way I'll be doing also now. That's a great idea, so thank you.

  • @RToddJones
    @RToddJones 10 років тому

    It amazes me that anyone would thumbs-down this video, since it was so helpful and totally wasn't selling anything. Mr. Pierce seems to know what he's doing. Respect.

    Thank you for this video. I'm just starting out and your videos are extremely educational and helpful to me. You've answered so many questions I have! I also appreciate you saying you won't use this venue to sell us your stuff. Not that I mind when people do, but it just shows a genuine attitude of wanting to help your viewers and it's humbling. Because of this, and how much I like your videos, I've subscribed to them. I'm looking forward to watching several more videos!!!

    Just pick one category and organize it to be efficient and effective, and move on once you finish one. For instance organize a nice packing station and then move to your inventory and stock area, and then maybe your desk, and then your accounting and sales records.

  • @Saffirea

    I really appreciate your honesty! Your one of a million and sincere! I will follow you and look forward to what you can teach me. I did ebay in Dec 2013 and made about $1k for the month but got out of it for awhile and look to start back up.

  • @MichaelJosephPierce
    @MichaelJosephPierce  11 років тому

    When ever they relist it will count toward the 150, so if you have them on good till canceled then every time they relist (every 30 days from the posting date) they will add onto the 150. However say you list on May 15th (100 items) then the 100 items will not count onto Aprils 150 free listings until April 15th.

    It really depends on the month, between Jan and May I make around 2-5,000 dollars (gross sales). In June I start selling locally at flea markets and other functions and I start making more, but November and December are huge months and can lead to a ton of income.

  • @MichaelJosephPierce
    @MichaelJosephPierce  11 років тому

    Awesome! it's amazing how times have changed, but you can do it. Just take your time and figure everything out, it really isn't as hard as people make it seem. I wish you the best of luck, I would come hook up your printer but i'm a bit out of the way :D.

  • @MichaelJosephPierce
    @MichaelJosephPierce  11 років тому

    It depends, will it be full time or part time? if full I would say find a niche and specialize in it, if part time I would sell anything and everything you have to sell. I mostly sell video games with a few things on the side.

    Anyways, is it possible to do a video of the whole process of one game. Not sure if you have time to do that but if you do that would be great.

    • @MichaelJosephPierce
      @MichaelJosephPierce  9 років тому

      carphunter963 Making money is all about the overall numbers, if 99 games go for $3 and one sells for $200 it all evens out. Since this video was made I have gotten much better at finding rare games aswell.

  • @thriftersmart8131
    @thriftersmart8131 10 років тому

    Bravo on not selling E-books and how to's! I see these guys doing this quite a bit now days. Not saying they don't know their shit, but all this information is available for free, from such people as yourself.
    As far as taxes, I believe if you are making under poverty level ($26K or something) in NET income, then you are safe. Though there is still the chance of getting audited. Save all your receipts for any expense, always use your PayPal debit card for business transactions (you get 1% back on most transactions) and import your PayPal transaction every month and save them.
    Well done and thanks for keeping the faith.

    Hi, Michael, Thanks a lot . this is a great demonstration video. my question is , what do you sell on ebay and amazon? i mean on what items do you list frequently ? well i have tried selling on ebay but never succeed really. i just failed to identify the trending items. so apparently you have very much succeeded to rated seller. so could you give a supportive reply ?
    appreciate it, thanks

    • @MichaelJosephPierce
      @MichaelJosephPierce  10 років тому

      Obama Barak I don't sell "trending" items, I sell video games because I have a vast knowledge of them and I enjoy working with them. Find something you like to sell and just work at gaining expertise in the field. I can go to the flee market with $100 and buy $500-1000 in video games every trip, that is because I know exactly what to look for.

      Michael Pierce well i was going to sell coins at first since i collect them and you said to try to sell things that you like but there isn't such a huge market for coins compared to other things. So i was going to try to sell electronics, video games, computer stuff etc.
