Hey guys, this is Calvin from Team GaryVee! Just as a reminder, if you receive a reply from this account, this is the real Team GaryVee ;)
It's a way to make something, when you have down time. Thrift shop is another spot to get items to flip also. Thanks Gary!
Hi Calvin! Just wanna say great editing - this is something a lil bit different and fresh! love the dynamic of the text! respect to the editor! dope! much love guys;
Thanks for the feedback!
wow what a platform - What are people giving away???? Ok, in Slovenia (where I live) people give free stuff, but this is wow. I assure you that I've got the need to buy a jumbojet :)))) keep more short videos coming. Cheers
Loved it guys...team hustling
Any man who helps another man make money without charging him is a REAL MAN and is truly his brothers keeper.....love you Gary bro.
Since Gary first mention this a few weeks back, it got me pumped. I’ve made an extra $200 since!💯
Alec. dude that is AWESOME. On your way to CRUSHING IT. (Inspirational!)
Alec Lifestyle. I got stuck with not knowing how to promote your item? But this video helped. After you list it what did you do?? Left it??
you go out and find more items to get for free and list those items while you wait
I love your channel! keep grinding
Nice work, Alec! Any tips for the rest of the VaynerNation? ;)
- Calvin
Just began 6 days ago using Gary's advice. Sold 5 items out of 30+ and earned 36$ now. It was my "Aha." Moment. Amazing first step for me.
I have been doing garbage runs for the last 2 years literally sifting through garbage finding working ceiling fans, old computer parts, lights, traffic signs, old furnature, complete living rooms and old cafe decorations, mannequins, chairs, old typewriters in Amsterdam, Holland. It has made me just shy of 150k over that same period. Just saying money is literally on the streets if you are wiling to go through the motions. People are just fucking "complacent" and lazy af. I just opened my own store called the good stuff factory in Belgium where I specialize in old vintage, retro chairs. You can make money from the streets and get your own place and get to do what you love to do, if you are putting in the work, I'm living proof of that.
That's incredible man! Any advice, tips, or tricks for the rest of the VaynerNation?
- Calvin
Team GaryVee Of course I can give you some tips. First off, let me tell you a bit about myself, so you know a bit of my story and how I got my motivation. I had a 30.000 euro debt and had just lost my job and was walking home from work at a boring office job. I lived in a bad area and walked home from my ex employer through a decent middle to upper class neighborhood.
I saw their garbage outside and noticed a nice leather comfy but beaten up office chair by the side of the road near a garbage pile and hauled the heavy thing home. It took me a couple of days to make it decent again, I bought some cheapo shoe polish and cleaned it. then I put it on the dutch equivalent of graigslist called marktplaats and had the chair sit there for a week and got 50 euro's for it. And since I was unemployed, I started to do some math, I needed 24 of these items and I had myself a decent enough salary to stay unemployed, pay rent have food and do this full time.
So here's what I did, I went online to look for the garbage pick up days of large garbage, they have separate days for that in Holland, and found out that it happened once every week. So I made a schedule and a map of the best neighborhoods and see how many of them where in biking range of my apartment. So every week I could go to the 3 best neighborhoods by bike and see what was left in the large garbage pick ups by the side of the streets. And to my surprise I found old usable computers and tables, chairs complete inventories of old cafe's sometime, once in a 4 or 5 month periods. Yes, I hauled entire couches on a bike, by walking next to it. All that stuff got photographed and went online. I then invested in a secondhand cargo bike. Which allowed me to haul more stuff and makes for an easier way to transport the larger stuff. I have biked miles upon miles, that got me fit as well. a positive side effect was that I lost about 30 kilo's I used to weigh in at 125, I am now 95, so that's nice as well and yes I did this during the winter months as well, at below zero temperatures. It became an addiction of sorts to just pick up free money from the streets.
That got me thinking about looking for small offices, businesses and cafe filing for bankruptcy. Everything is online these days, it's literally on the web. They throw out almost everything if they don't have the funds to store the stuff or to put it up for auction, that actually happens a lot. So I was there on their next garbage disposal day and you don't even want to know how thankful garbage men are when you are literally making their life easier by picking up their large disposed desks or chairs? I was doing roundtrips to the same bankrupt disposal place about 6-10 times sometimes, if there was a lot of stuff. Soon enough, I ran out of space in my little apartment, so I rented a cheap storage unit at a self storage facility for 200 euro's that got too small within 2 years. Which got me to the place I am today. I never had a truck, I imagine that having a truck would make it even faster and easier. So there you have it, it's hard work but it got me where I am today and I wouldn't have wanted it any other way.
That's pretty much all I can think off right now if you have any more questions feel free to ask me anything.
@lalaland wow what a great story! keep going. and thank you for the tips i‘m also interested in starting something like that
Good luck man!
@@henrymichael4168 You are more then welcome my man. Keep on the grind and you'll get there in due time...If I can do it so can you...
Where focus goes, energy flows.
Money is everywhere. But only if you want to see it. Amazing.
I've literally been doing this and I've been able to save up with this and my jobs and start Amazon FBA next week. Love you man.
This was what I used to do for years. Best deal made me approx. 4000 dollars on a car. The feeling you get from making a good deal is hard to beat. However, a warning - don't let greed get to you and try to trick people into buying shit or overpricing like crazy. I fell into that trapp, and when your moral values catches up with you, it's not such a good deal after all.
🎯
A lot of people have never been flat broke or they would know that you have to be creative and not much will stop you.
This is why I think some single parents would be great as elected officials, they know how to work their butts off and be thrifty with money.
G never stops to bring value 👌🏻😎🤓

- Calvin
These practical hustle videos are so amazing! Need more of them!
I like the fact that actually Gary explains how you can start from ZERO. Literally from bottom... Other con artists say "buy my social media marketing tool " etc. these People cannot help 99% of the population, because they don't explain how to start from zero.
Also I love it when it's always "it needs to be scalable" and such stuff. Yes, of course that's nice but at the beginning there is no need to worry about that. Just get started making the buck.
Hey Gary Thanks you for inspiring to keep my grind on. Im out here chasing my dreams on youtube 1 month down!
What happened why did u stop uploading
I've done similar! There is always a way to make money in America. So thankful!
I have a six figure day job. Work 60 hours between Monday & Friday. I hit up the local recycling centers on the weekend scavenge the electronics bin, repost on Amazon, make some repairs here and there, and that's easily good for 1-2k a month.
That's a really solid flip.. Is that $1k-$2k profit? What are your expenses like and what tips would you give the rest of the VaynerNation?
- Calvin
Team GaryVee not profit. I have to ship the items, which I usually end up using USPS flat rate which can very but usually averagea $14, and then depending on if it's Amazon or eBay, they take a vig. Amazons vigs are high, but I have less issues with the clientele. When I get a TV that needs some new capacitors, a few dollar repair, I will sell those on Craigslist. But I have a wife and 4 kids, so I prefer not to spend all my free time trying to meet up with people that's why I go the online route.
Andrew Monheim definitely do it. I've found plenty of MacBook pros, reinstalled the of, maybe replaced a hardrive here or there. Recently sold a 6 year old one I found, installed fresh OS, and sold for $450.00.
Team GaryVee tips for VaynerNation would be find something your passionate about and look for opportunity. When you know a category it's easier to know what things sell for, and what things are hot. Hot is important. That way if have to put up cash for something that is a top 500 seller in that category on Amazon, you'll know it will flip quick, verse something that is in the thousands, you're probably going to have to wait for that sale. My brother is passionate about cars, and has become friends with many dealers. He goes to one dealers lot checks their trades, calls up other dealers he thinks are interested and is making a few hundred a car just doing that. Find something you know and start there. There are so many hustles out there it's said that people say there's no work. I'll make $300 working from 10pm to 2:30am Friday and Saturday with Uber. There is so much out there, and you don't need much to start.
What's your six figure day job
Gary just gave everyone a way to make money and to stop making excuses. The opportunities are out there we just need to go get them.👍🏻
No more excuses, time to start crushing it!
- Calvin
Team GaryVee Yes absolutely Calvin.👍🏻
Andrew Monheim Yeah there isn’t anymore.
It's very funny how you demonstrate the table selling.
And the craiglist free section is brilliant idea.
Love your channel Gary! :D
1000% agreed. A lot of us don't realize it's right in front of our eyes!
Keep hustling guys!!
May I just say this was very well edited and put together
I turned 68 cents (buying bubble envelopes from Walmart)
To over $500 just 2 months being passive just by flipping shit and selling free shit.
Super part time. About to amp things up!
thank you gary ! i will def add this to my list 😊
This is why i fuckin love gary vee
I’ve been broke for over the last 4 years because of a motorcycle accident that left me unable to walk for about a year, I’m finally getting a little better after this last surgery but I can’t work a normal job yet but this is something I’m really going to try my best to do so I can change my life. Im tired of sitting around all day when I could be trying to find free stuff or buy cheap an sell high. Love your videos it gives me the motivation to actually get out there an try man. I need a truck but once I get one I’ll be able to make some decent money I believe.
Thanks gary.. keep it up!
Been waiting on you to make this video since you first mentioned it a few weeks ago!!! Saw refrigerators on there, TVs, pianos, literally everything, easiest way to make money!! 🔥🙌🏽
pianos are no good, people give them away because no one is willing to move them. TVs generally the same thing, you wont find flat screens on there typically. Sometimes. But usually 2 ton old tvs. Fridges, same deal. You can find good stuff but those 3 things in particular are hard to sell.
Been watching your videos for a while. This information works! Thanks Gary!
Simple and practical advice. Nice job.
*Thanks for the advice Gary! I told my sister this, they picked up a whole trailer of furniture for free, all in a day's work.*
Bam, I love it. No excuses people. You want it, go get it!
Oh wow this is amazing I never thought of this!!! Thank you!!
This is phenomenal
i've been doing this for a few months with some success, great advice!
Great video as usual Gary just gets it! I just go around and canvas neighborhoods that have shit out on the street. Then I go ring the doorbell ask permission if I may take it etc. Whomever answers the door be polite and you can build for the next opportunity. One guy was so happy I took the stuff away because twnp didn't come and pick it up. He offered to give me some more stuff. Turned out to be some antique furniture worth $$$ Always be networking...
More power Gary!!
*Oh Gary! I am so excited to make money!*
You're amazing!!! My family and I have recently started a Family Vlog and we look to your videos for inspiration and guidance. Thank YOU.
Gary ! Man YOU HAVE A MIND OF SALES MAN! Its just amazing how creative you are when it comes to selling.
That is an *awesome* idea!
If yer rural, it doesn't work as well, but any big city, can be decent scores..... told a friend to do that 10 years back and his market was actually secondhand shops on consignment, he did a grand a week saced up and moved to Alaska..... scored trash to cash there too
Great edit ♥️
Fuck yes Gary!! No excuses anymore!
Thank you!!!
awesome Big Vee !
great vid...... totally trying this
Seriously, I have had this thought process my whole life....and now I'm doing it.
Gary is a Legend
Gary I need you to know your fucking energy is insane
I had a friend do this a few years back, he started with free fire wood and eventually traded up to a running/driving car. It took around a year total but the concept is actually pretty awesome.
That's awesome! Did he give you any tips/tricks that you want to share with the rest of the VaynerNation? ;)
- Calvin
Honestly the only tip that I could give from his experience was; persistence. I know that you have to "bird dog" a lot of internet if you're truly trying to win at this game. He ended up doing very well for himself but ultimately got tired of the hunt. So once he got the car, he just found his endgame. I know he went from free fire wood, to used tires, then to a kitchen hutch, then a rare set of VW taillights, some stereo ... but this was back in 2012ish or so. It was fun to watch, I may have to get in on that sometime.
I’m a bartender saving to get a car and I ride the bus or take lyfts to get around.. so the part about taking the table on the bus had me rolling 😂😂😂
2nd! Wooot! Money is everywhere indeed! ;)
Practical! 💯👍🏽
Love this video!
#firstinline Loving it!
had me lmao when he said to take that table on the bus...but actually!
That's why a pickup truck and a garage shop with acreage are a must have!
Cant believe i never thought of this.... you my friend are worth your wieght in gold.
Wow im gonna start doing this today. And if you're in the NY area and don't want some of the things laying around your house i'll gladly take it off your hands

Crazy but valuable advice
Made more than $3 million in sales making websites and mobile apps since April 1998 from Craigslist while traveling around the world. Recently changed my career to a Cold Brew Canned Coffee company in Japan.
Matt Lawson im up for some messenger conversation if you want to give some tips to a 21 portuguese guy, almost finishing my law degree!
How you did? Craigslist is not available in all countries
That's impressive! How's that going so far and what tips would you have for anyone in the VaynerNation that is currently thinking about making a big career change?
- Calvin
First off...working with customers making mobile apps and websites is very stressful simply because the customer has a vision and that vision changes during the project. On Craigslist you need to use a RSS reader and connect all the big cities in USA, CA, UK, etc. Then you need to respond to each CraigList Post in your genre around 6am in the local time of that city. You cant just post a cookie cutter reply. You need to respond to each post with a sincere reply. Then when that post owner wants a phone call you need to be 1 minute early for that phone call. In most cases you need a solid PRO contract which is often 9+ pages long. You will be competing with other companies all over the world. You need to be better than all of your competitors. My tip? Eat quality food with low inflammation. Drink green super food shakes with high fat and low sugar. Why? So you are not having brain fog and so you are super on-point with extreme sharpness of the brain. Exercise daily. My choice is usually MTN Biking or slow jogging in the forest. After your sales calls respond with a DRAFT contract in 24 hours or less. I often would fire off 6-10 draft contracts per day. It takes about 14-30 days to get your sales pipeline filled with sales. Have a solid answer for every possible question and if you dont have an answer then say "I dont know". Dont bullshit.
About 1 year ago I quit software engineering completely! I love coffee and I noticed that in Japan the coffee market is overtly young or that the competition was almost zero compared to USA. I started out selling and roasting pour over coffee. To make my company different I vacuum sealed 51 grams of beans per aluminum pouch. All of my customers tell me they have never in their life had such fresh coffee. Its like an explosion in your mouth. Once I was financially stable with phase one I purchased a warehouse on a river ina remote mountain town in the Cedar forest and I a am in the end process of remodeling with 16 hotel rooms, a restaurant and a Cold Brew facility with some kickass equipment from CASK in Canada. Most of my life experience was from Silicon Valley around the start-up business community which in Japan is a massive advantage edge as most Japanese have no experience with running a new start-up. I am selling specialty coffee against major competitors such as Coca Cola and UCC (huge massive company in Japan). I have to pay huge "shelf" fees to begin contracts with massive distributors so I can get my cold canned coffee in vending machines and into 7-11's and other mini-marts. I also have been purchasing small refrigerators with glass doors and getting small stores and large grocery stores to stock my canned coffee (Remember Odwalla Juice?). In Japan the more locations and potential sales means I can obtain bank loans easier. I need roughly 20% cash deposit for a loan. So growth is very possible. I believe I can do and I am not scared which is something that took me most of my life. I am 45 years old. My wife has cancer last year and we cured her cancer using low inflammation diet with 16 hour fasts and superfoods. To be where I am now with 2 young kids.....I am happy.
I lived in Asia and had to do sales phone calls to USA. Read my below comment.
Amazing hustle strategy so let's go people!
Haha! Thats awesome! My side money has been getting cash for bottles :D
Thank you for showing humans how to have some humility left in them most of them have completely gone down to the animal level where they can’t even help everybody else to eat only their selves and those are the people who don’t stay in business long because they’re not humbled thank you for showing human beings that there is a God inside of us that can help others
Great stuff for beginners to earn the leverage for something bigger!
Agreed Nick!
Man I thought Avi was just straight ignoring Gary for a sec then I realized it was actually the video's music!
i love Gary v man
YES!
I legit just picked up like 8k worth of free stuff in the past week ending today with an entire almost-working Volvo with a clean title, no rust, or major body damage. Honorable mentions include 5 boxes of bubble mailers, 70 banana boxes, a hand tuck/dolly combo, big tube TV, projector, RGB LED strips, dual monitor setup, full size xerox machine, 5 apple routers, about 20 goodyear pneumatic air hoses, garbage bags of VHS tapes, cases of bike inner tubes, a couple AC units, and much more.
I assumed the moral of the video was gonna be something like "nothing in life is free"... i was so wrong
It’s usually just actual dirt in the free section but if you keep your eye on it you can find some gems. I once saw a full ping pong table on there.
That's gangsta🔥🔥🔥🔥
Hope everyone is GRINDING today💯🔥
Always! 24/7/365!
- Calvin
Team GaryVee 💯🙏🏼🔥
Yes sir!! Moving !!
I love this. I need to try it. Im so broke im scared. Gotta try this
Preach!
Fast and to the point
Glendon Cameron on Hustlers Kung fu channel talked about this!! Love some Gary V! Straight no chaser.
Ive done this, got free cars. trailers, boats, all kinds of furniture, computers, great hustle.
Started vlogging and attended Gary's conference!!! all on mi page!!!!!
Been doing this on and off, but recently hustled and bought a Sprinter Van for $1350 from selling stuff I found in the trash for free and reselling it on CL, FB or Ebay. I then drove past a theater loveseat setup (2 recliners etc) with my buddy that was being thrown out on the curb...it looked nice, we picked it up and drove it back to our garage and spent 10 whole minutes cleaning it. I took pics and listed it on CL and FB for $90 for a quick flip even though new it was probably like $700+. A guy came, loved it but lived 1+ hour away. He asked if we would do delivery in our van we just bought. We asked how much and he said $200 as a uhaul van for him would have been $150 and he couldnt get the sofa into his basement by himself. So for the convenience of delivery and him not having to do anything, we drove it to his house the next day, brought it down in his basement for him and he was so happy. So myself and my buddy turned $0 into $90, then into $290 with about 2.5 hours worth of work. Love doing it, had a fun roadtrip with my buddy and my tip for vanyernation is to offer delivery in your CL and FB ads (if you have the right vehicle) as people usually cant transport bigger things on their own and don't mind paying for delivery if you are reasonable.
great idea....
just found a free sofa pretty much down the road😂we're gonna collect it soon, thanks GV
Get it, bring it back, take a picture of it and post it on FB marketplace or Ebay, and then flip it! Rinse and repeat... ;)
- Calvin
volunteering at thrift stores and driving around on trash days are also good ways to get free product to sell online :)
Finally i have found my mentor thank you. And to all people do not forget money is just paper. Do never expect that it will fulfill your life. Think deeper about the meaning of money in relation to life and beyond. Investing in yourself is the best investment.
money isn't just paper.
Epic😉👊💪
This is hilarious.
I'm going to try it.
Another example. One time a part broke on my gas range in the kitchen. When I looked up the replacement cost of the part I was looking at $60. Went to the FREE section of Craigslist and found someone giving away the EXACT SAME range (with the working part). So with a little elbow grease we swapped out the range, and kept all the parts from the old range that might be useful in case something breaks on the "new" one. The landlord who owned that house thanked me for "upgrading" appliances like that (with free replacements) when I moved out.
A scrapper drove by after we took the old range to the curb and it was gone an hour after I put it out there - so even the BROKEN range kept paying itself forward for someone else!
I saved $60 by getting a whole new range vs the part I needed (and it was less of a pain in the ass to replace the range than the part would have been). Had the new range installed before the part would even arrive from mail order.
You can't FUCK with the free section if you live in a big city. You can furnish your whole house with it.
Invest in sand paper, some cheap wood dyes/paints/stainers and restore old furniture. A free old wiggly coffee table to you, becomes a smooth rich brown 40 dollar living room center piece on facebooks market or craigslist.
good vid
😂How sway!! Hustlin' baby!
Gary you are a fucking genius!
this work so well, especially if you live in a big city like New York, LA, Dallas, or Chicago. I live about 30 mins away from Chicago and they're always giving away shit almost new too, which is fucking ludacris if you don't take advantage of it. thanks Gary.
Wanna do that with your super super hustle am gonna make it Gary
0:48 had me cracking up 😂
Hell Yes! This shit is so fucking lit!
Dude, I've picked up numerous things on the FREE section on Craigslist and then SOLD the shit ON Craigslist right after. Almost any time I need ANYTHING these days I check Craigslist first. I picked up a rototiller for $15 (and had to meet a guy in the parking lot of an adult bookstore, but PA is a gun friendly state so I was ok with that)... I sold the rototiller AFTER doing my gardening for $50 sight unseen.
I bought a portable full size dishwasher once for $150. The people I bought it from BROUGHT IT INTO MY KITCHEN for me, handed me dishwasher soap, and the sink adapter and I had dishes being washed 5 minutes later.
When I SOLD the dishwasher, I sold it for $200 and the people who bought it from me showed up with a dolly and TOOK IT OUT OF MY KITCHEN FOR ME...
In the end I was PAID $50 to hold onto a dishwasher for 3 years, use the shit out of it, and then let someone come pick the thing up from me.
I got through the whole 2008 stock market crash by hustling on Craigslist. It literally saved my ass from being homeless.
I currently own a $1,000 Lovesac 8 foot wide beanbag chair I got for FREE on craigslist because I was willing to come pick it up. We threw an old couch off of a balcony for fun when I came home with that thing.
this is genius
