    As a dad who worked a full time coding job from home for 28 years and raised three kids mostly by myself while doing really small scale ebay on the side my congratulations to you for your success doing this as a full time mom of 2 soon to be three (LOL it gets crazy with three LOL). All the best. New subscriber today.

    You've made everything so simple to grasp, including inventory. I really appreciate your help! I just realized today that as soon as the time is right, this is the last boss/"job" I'll ever have. No more bus driving for this guy! And as a single Dad I'll be able to educate my own child way more with my own values, instead of her insane public school indoctrination values! Yay! Thank you!!!

    Thank you sooo much for this playlist! My husband and I have been given the opportunity to sell a friend's HUGE inventory of hardware and home goods. He's a millionaire who keeps buying out stores closing down and his horde has accumulated into several perfectly good houses and connexes stored full to the brim of stuff. I've never done anything like this before, so I plan on starting simple at first and selling on eBay while getting a handle on his beast of a collection of inventory. I would like to also branch out to Amazon, but like I said, will be learning on the way.

    Another fantastic video. I sell it all but my favorites are shoes, plush, vintage kids clothes and of course the handmade stuff I sell in my Etsy store because those are almost as much fun to make as it is to source for my Ebay store.

    I used to do wholesale orders to pad my thrifting hauls so I could list enough. It just became a race to the bottom on retail items, and many times orders would get canceled so I would have nothing to list when I was expecting it. Now I thrift only, and it is still a struggle to find enough to list lately. Like not enough people are donating items right now. So, I have to learn more and do more research. :) I mainly sell electronics and toys.

Must be midwestern thing... What's available to me the most is the bread and butter items. So I have to learn how to list fast to make money with $20 items.

      @@lisasode8989 I also learn you CAN make money with brands like Banana Republic. I actually sold a few Banana Republic dress pants these past few weeks. A lot of people must be going back to work these days. :) If you do plan to sell bread and butter items, make sure you pick it up at the bins or garage sale (don't pay more than a couple bucks), and it needs to be unique. Blazers, dresses, sell really well. For dress pants, make sure you pick wool.

On the contrary, I often get people "offering" me wholesale because of my channel but it's a sneaky way to try to get me to promote something that isn't a good product, or just a way to try to take advantage of me because they assume I wouldn't know any better. 😂 I've turned down all of them.
