    Just wanted to say that one of the reasons why I love your videos-not only are they entertaining but they’re family friendly. I can watch them with my son sitting next to me and not worry if you’re going to swear or anything.

    One thing I've definitely learned from your videos is that it's possible to make six figures selling a HUGE volume of smaller margin items. To be able to turn $5-15 profit into a full time income is certainly a titanic feet! I like to think I can get there too this year. 2021 let's go!

      5 dollars of profit per item to make 50k is like 27 games per day. I'd be hard pressed to find that many, but I can more than make up for qty by just finding games with more profit margin.

    Just an FYI, don't bring the 3 cent games to the self checkout up front! I came across Doom VFR, Dead Rising 3, and Evil Within 2 marked at 3 cents each according to the Walmart app and the price checker at the Walmart. Went to checkout and all 3 games threw a "Item restricted please wait for assistance" error. The Guy came over confirmed through his scanner they were indeed 3 cents, but the register wouldn't scan them to sell because apparently when they are marked at 3 cents that means "the item is not sellable in their system and has to be removed". I asked for manager to come over to override it and she said the same thing that they couldn't sell them to me and couldn't override it. Not sure if it's just this particular Walmart I went too, but just something to keep in mind. Next time I will checkout at electronics lol.
