*love your channel my dude, never been a better time to start selling then now.. ebay has literally been printing me money the past few weeks, probably cause so many people are stuck at home nowadays, these are tough times but double down on your focus and build your empire guys!!!* 🤑🔥💪
Same here!! And I uploaded a video. For those that give up, sorry can't help you. For those considering it, don't waste time, start small, do the Maths and you will be making easy money 6 months down the line. Start at alibaba.com.
I watched this video 2 years ago when I started off on ebay and it was a big inspiration for me. I now turnover £20k a month, profit around £5k a month, video uploaded. Thanks a ton Mike👍🏽
People are jealous cuz they are lazy.. this guy is still working and hustling. He is not getting handouts or getting his dad's money to start his on business.
Damn dude, I used to do the same process for this dude out in California! He incorporated his company. Step 1. Check emails, respond as customer service etc. Step 2. Verify all addresses, names and prices according to shiprush from amazon and ebay orders. Step 3. Print out all the labels with a thermal printer (get multiple printers as backups). Step 4. Collect all the products from the inventory area. Step 5. Package all inventory into envelopes and boxes while taking pictures of big orders to prevent fraud. Step 6. Stick labels on all packages covering the opening lip to avoid prying open. Step 7. Collect all packages and put them into a giant white plastic bag. Step 8. Load all packages into your truck and deliver to the post office for shipping. Step 9. Call supplier for more inventory to be delivered to your location. Step 10. Repeat steps 1 through 9 everyday. N.B. Busiest days at the office were Mondays and Fridays. Mondays because orders piled up over the weekend and Friday to complete all the orders before leaving. You make a ton of money but barely have a life after that unless you get employees to work for you.
I was working for someone else who taught me how to do this. The dude was selling cosmetics for women specifically targeting middle class to wealthy women on ebay and amazon. Products sold were Murad, Dermalogica, Skinceuticals, eye liner stuff like that. Totals per day were between 500-8000$ including postage and packaging. Sourcing came from the factories shipped to the warehouse. Forklift was required.
In sales or profits per day? I guess finding the distributor and getting a good wholesale price is important. I actually thought of a niche within cosmetics as well but never pulled the trigger. I'm just sick of my cubicle office job and wanna do this so bad lol. Any tips on how to get started?
Thanks! I know about the legal side like LLC's etc. I started a dropshipping clothing store and had it for a while but gonna scrap it since it wasn't successful. Too much competition. What do you mean by IT infrastructure? I've sold personal items on Ebay for a long time. I have over 100 transactions so I do have some experience. And speaking of investing, I invest in crypto but that's a whole nother conversation.
The dude I worked for made me install networking wires and stuff all over his office. Special internet wires, CAT 5 or CAT 8 something to get his orders into his server quicker while also having all the security cameras hooked up to the server. The IT Infrastructure was used to make sure that all orders were recorded and backed up in case anything happened. I remember their being a closet with a bunch of servers on a rack with everything from the security cameras to the computers all being hooked up together. The dude was able to monitor me work while he was at home using a program like Teamviewer. We would talk over the phone while he was making sure I was completing the orders and correcting peoples adresses spelling mistakes (sometimes people didn't know how to fill in their addresses properly) If you know about the legal side like LLCs, why didn't you make a holding company above the LLC? With the holding company as an entity, you can pay the holding company a dividend and reinvest your earnings or take another dividends or salary personally. For clothing brands, you need to target instagrammers or high profile celebrities. Once one wears your brand, it will stream.
Being your own boss is the best feeling in the world. I'm still working part time and building my own business but I hope I will be able to quit my part time soon. :) Thanks for the video.
Jtru if you have to pay your own bills, then you might need someone to help you cover the bills in the first 3 months until you start making good profits. If not, starting full time might not be a good idea yet.
The 2 hardest steps for me are; 1.)start-up capital 2.)sourcing a product. With all of the other fundamentals down pat, as a long time eBayer, I will say that it makes my 9-5 SO much more bearable for the time being. Thanks for posting this man, you are living it up!
It is so cool that you are your own boss. No explaining to anyone why you do what you do, or why you work how you work. You are intelligent enough to know what has to be done and how to finish it in an organized and efficient manner. That is what I want to attain to. I have worked for someone else since the age of 15 (now 48), and I am ready to be my own boss and not have to deal with coworkers all day who think they are more right than I am. I already have plenty of customer service skills. You are right! The most important thing you can do when running a business is not pissing someone off and doing your utmost to satisfy them and deliver an outcome that makes them feel like the winner. It is better to lose a few bucks here and there than tarnish your reputation - because it will only cause you to hemorrhage more money. You have good business sense!!! It's like playing the market. Sometimes you lose, but most of the time you win!
I wish you all the best because your mindset about customer service is what will bring you business twofold. Stores like yours on eBay and Amazon are the best!
So funny. 😂😂😂🤦♂️🤦♂️ I always sort out my refunds first. Then create refunds then go home. It works really well always have loads of work to. Not enough hours in the day. 😂😂
i'm from the UK we have ebay millionaires here too and they do exactly what this guy does. I know 1 or 2 myself, it's an incredible life. One is 28 and is a millionaire i've checked his business accounts. Don't be a angry bitter jealous wage slave, just because you never took the risks in life.
it's not hard. In that game you pre-pack everything. It only takes me 10 seconds to put a label on a leaflet lol just do the maths. Stop being so salty, won't get you nowhere.
So much hate in this video, who cares if the vid is a lie? Believe it or not. I believe you guys are so stuck in the system you can’t see out of the box. How does he package all those parcels, hard work, determination - if I were him I’d laugh at everyone of your comments.
made me smile. I have an Ebay business and I'm not as relaxed as this guy. I seem to mega busy all day, every day, lol, and this guy is so laid back about it. I have a third of his orders and am like a headless chicken
So glad I started selling on Amazon a year ago. Did $1500 in sales today (about 60% profit) and didn't have to fulfill one order myself lol. Good stuff man!
Excellence insight!!! Anyone can sell anything on eBay but won't come up on top. Mike has build a successful customer-base reputation that he emphasize to stay in business. TY for the free advice....
You know what give me more strength to work hard , is jealousy . when people throw jealous remarks it fuels my positive side. So don't fret bro, goodjob!
I just started selling stuff on eBay a few days ago to test the waters. I'm just selling decorative car trim pieces and so far I've fulfilled 5 orders. I have a few ideas for new products, so we'll see how it turns out. For now it's just a way to earn some extra cash. But I'll have to reduce my shipping costs, so thanks for the heads up about stamps.com.
Hey ramivalencia, congrats on your new business venture. One way to save tons of money on shipping is to use a regular printer with refillable cartriages or a Continuous Ink Supply System either one is awesome, but the CISS is better if you're doing 100's of orders daily. The thermal printer with self adhesive labels is nice & quicker, but it's a profit eater! Just use a regular printer with regular paper & stick glue to put it on the package. I've been selling online for 6 years & it works great for me!
Hey Diymike im so glad i ran into your channel and this video specifically. ive been a subscriber since i started my eBay business this year. It was a slow growing process for me, but I'm finally getting there. I have just reached 25 positive feedback and one neutral feedback. i had one negative feedback but like you say in this video, customer service is important and i had the customer give me a positive feedback after i gave him a refund because of a broken item. I remember having a similar day like you have in this video where i just chilled and watched my phone just blow up with sales and watched UA-cam all day while it was happening, so i believe that this is a normal working day for an ebay seller. Anyways, i just got my business license and sellers permit and all that good stuff, so i hope i can reach your level of ebay sales one day! Thanks for making this video, every time I look for motivation i come to this video specifically to keep going. Have a good one dude!
Hey Mike , seems like a lot of people are jealous of your success 😜 !!! You're re a humble , cool , good guy Mike ... don't ever waste your time with losers who can't understand the mind and behaviours of truly successful people so of - course they will caste doubt no matter what the truth is !!! We like the way you seem to conduct your business and your journey to success has been inspiring !!! Thank- u for continuing to put these videos out ... you have no idea how helpful it has been for my husband and I... life has taken us on a completely new path this year , we were suddenly blindsided by some unexpected changes to our business and so began desperately searching for a new solution ... that is when your vid showed up on my queue ( took it as a sign from the universe 😀 ) and since then we've been on a roll trying to learn as much as we can so that we can tackle this new endeavour successfully !!! We wish you Continued Success with your business Mike , can't say thank- u enough ❤ .. a million blessings to u and your family 😊💖👍 . Eddie & Jill.
This video is so motivating...i just dont know how to start..what to sell..how much to invest on what items..do i start a thrift shops just to learn..or should spend some cash on real merchandise?
I don’t understand why people are throwing so much hate your way. Does it matter if it’s 1MM a year or over the course of 10. Either way you’re clearly living your life exactly how you want. Congrats bro and thanks for the videos. They’re helping me chase my own dream.
Hey. Thanks for sharing your day. I also do a ebay bizz for my actual job. Been doing it for years and years. Just wanted to let you know that I have been using a thermal printer with the ebay shipping for about 4-5 years now, and I haven't had any issues. I tried stampscom once and it just wasn't for me. I pull my orders and answer questions from the warehouse with the ipad, and pack orders from my workstation. I sell mostly clothing, so, everything is stored in 18 gallon totes stacked on uprights and pull from the bins. I try to put stuff that doesn't sell as quickly (seasonal) on the top, because I'll need the ladder...ughh. Then, I'm off to the post office by 4 everyday! It's great to have the freedom to stop and go as you need to. Keep on making that money! This is the best job I have ever had. It's so rewarding! LOVE IT!
Dude you are funny as heck. I loved the part where you tried that ASMR eating lol I really want to be similar to you in the future and have my own business. I can tell you are a laid back guy but you put your reputation before everything and that is something you don't see very often. +1s man you rock. This is the first video I have watched of yours but now I am inspired to watch more of your work. -Josh
What's up diymike! I just watch your video on your daily routine as a reseller and i really enjoyed it and thought it was informative. I wish other ebayers and resellers would do videos like you just did. Its adds perspective on how to run your business as a reseller. Its given me more motivation to keep hustlin out here in this reselling game. Thank you very much. 👍
People really hatin on him... do the math on the packages he has in the bed of his truck he said (300)... if they cost in average $5 dollars a package he just grossed $1500 a day. That is $10,500 a week, $42000 a month and $504,000. So what ever he is selling in a day averagea $10 dollars a package... yep that is what the chinese do! They sell you all the cheap stuff but they know how to make money on it
Hey man, I don’t really follow people but I had to follow you because you seem real and you actually recorded yourself eating lol. I’ve started my eBay business and so far so good. Cheers!
Diymike over the past 10 years i have ran into so many people salty just like most of these commenting below. I figured it out, People hate watching or seeing someone successful, i think most of the people leaving these ridiculous comments our the ones that have nothing and hate seeing others succeed in life, They want to pass blame onto others and they want to TRY and discredit others by saying untruthful statements. I have run into people over the years that could not believe i make as much as i make doing what i love to do while they are working long and hard hours making way less and hating life, These sort of people are the inventors of the word "HATER" Most people cannot relate or even comprehend how we are able to be so successful while they are sitting around made at the world everyday waiting for the next person to make a video so they can bash them in the comments or try to ask them trick questions to see if they are real or not, These type of people will be the ones always last in the race.
Right on. Most people love the idea of success but many hate on successful people, then they wonder why they are still broke and miserable in their jobs. I experienced negativity with some co-workers when I made the transition to quitting my job and doing ebay and flea market sales full time. Some people, especially the ones that went through college spending thousands of dollars, can't wrap their head around how this college drop-out is making more in a week than they make in a month. Instead of self educating themselves and opening their mind to all of the opportunities that are out there, they rather be negative and call others liars, make excuses, place blame on circumstances, politics, etc.. I will check out your channel. I've been putting more time into affiliate marketing and direct sales, but still do some retail arbitrage & used items on ebay because its profitable and fun to find the deals.
I honestly appreciate this video I had a kid at 15 been working since busting my balls school ,work ,court (got into a fight in school) and my father got cancer all at once so making a little extra money on the side or perhaps a living soon will be great really don’t have much time to sit with my daughter Or to do anything I use to love to do working 2 jobs and I make side money by helping local neighbors fixing houses and cars hopefully I can get this started thanks again man this can be my kick from struggling Day to day
Looks like you have a lot of fun at what you are doing, and you making money doing it. That's what it's all about. Cheers to you and don't mind the haters.
Yeah put it's a little harder then driving. Better know your way around a company and just eBay isn't gonna do it. I've been running online sales and in person. For 6 years now. Took me 3 years to actual be successfull
Yeah right. Ebay is as profitable as you make it out to be. Don’t hate on this dude or Uber drivers. I know uber drivers who pocket more than a 100k a year and ebayers with 1000 percent profit margins.
this is all great, but you don't mention at all how you are getting the products you sell. we want figures, we want retail values, we want potential profits. its cool that you are doing your thing but as far as this video being informational at all, its not!
You silly goose, why would he share his suppliers and the items he gets? He would just be hurting his business because other ebay sellers would copy and become a bigger threat to his business. Think a little friend.
Found you thru the Tundra vids. Then the Savage badge caught my eye. Then you completely out do your self as I spy the RD Badge. Self Employed myself only way to go, much respect.
I agree customers service is very important. I ran a half a million dollar business book business on amazon for a company. There you have 24 hours to answer customer emails once you get them. I had to answer emails everyday. Being good to your customers pays off.
Whats up mike I have a top rated Ebay account which I used to sell very good replicas of bape shirts on now I have no inventory do you recommend me to go thrift shopping for merch or drop-ship like a lot of ebayers are doing now a days??
Damn man 🤘🏻 living the dream. Obviously it didn’t just fall into your lap. Proves hard work pays off man. U look genuinely happy with what you do. Love it
Hey Mike, Just wondering where do you purchase your inventory that you sell? I do ebay and have been since last year. Everything has been going great since I started but was recently looking into seeing how to get more inventory. At the moment I purchase overtock inventory from shipping distribution centers but am looking to expand where to buy from. Was wondering if you had any good tips or point me in the right direction? Thanks appreciate it, btw loved the video!
@Kev F. i'm a full time Amazon seller and E-bay seller for the past 8 years. I purchase from wholesellers. It's hard to get good prices if you buy low quantities. Go to Wholesale websites as wholesalecentral.com they have plenty of suppliers. But if you want good brands, you'll need bigger pockets. In this business you'll need money to make decent money. But, yes you definitely can make a lot more once you have $20K + of inventory circulating an injecting the profits back into the business.I got stuck reselling. But now a day prices are much more competitive than the past. It's still doable, but with wholesale supplier you can build a more solid business with constant suppliers.
Nice down to earth video diymike! I loved it when you said you’re your own boss and I can do what I want.😀 I use eBay all the time and have never had a bad experience. Best of luck to you!
the office looks fine....this guy is making money no doubt... when u work like this the office is gonna get messy no doubt as you always grafting away.....
Thanks man. I run my own business and I know how it feels. After all the stress, there are small things that you can enjoy. That's what your lunch meant. Some don't get it.
Love your attitude! I gotta get going again. I used to sell years ago and did very well. I have so much stuff to get rid of and it's time to start backup and make some extra cash! I would love to do it full-time...Thanks Man
you should be careful and not do videos like these someone is going find where your warehouse is and is going to steal all your shit, will probably be on a weekend since you don't work those days
Awesome tour! Really enjoyed that. I recently, LITERALLY fell into $4.5M in inventory for A GREAT price. All stored in my garage at the moment. I've sold a little on eBay and a few selling apps. Also on Amazon (actually more profit there about $649 each trx), but sales are slower and I despise all the hurdles. I'd love to liquidate at $800K quickly. I guess time will tell, just don't want to waste too much time. I ain't getting any younger. 😁
The wealth Asian style I heard. Many rich Asians dress like regular people. Well some. I know this sounds stereotypical but you cannot judge too quickly. I haven't seen it personally but have heard from friends and stories about these situations.
This is the ideal situation I want to see myself doing. No boss. No bullshit. Treating yourself to a beer. That is definitely something I want to be doing. I can’t stand working retail anymore.

Thanks a ton Mike👍🏽
Well done! I started two weeks ago and I’ve turned over £3k with £1350 profit!!! 🥰
@@MF-nq9tk wow nice return keep multiplying those numbers!
@@ebaymillions2093 I’m trying, it’s a lot more work than I thought... you know finding the right products
@@MF-nq9tk yes but once you find the right products you just need to maintain stock, I really do not enjoy creating new listings.
@@ebaymillions2093 Question: once you find the right product, when should I stop trading them, or keep going until demand goes down?
People are jealous cuz they are lazy.. this guy is still working and hustling. He is not getting handouts or getting his dad's money to start his on business.
I sold a lamp once
andrew Please ....I like lamp
I love lamp
andrew Please I love lamps
i want Angie Noir to sell me love lamp.
I sold blow pops at school one time 2
ebay can make real money, if u get the way minimize ur cost and good products for sell, way better than 9-5pm
That's the key tho.... finding a good product.

@Michael Ross that is after its bubble-wrapped idiot
The pettiness is real in these comments lol
They're not made of glass. Looks like he's selling car parts....Metal/ spring/ gasket....
So funny. 😂😂😂🤦♂️🤦♂️ I always sort out my refunds first. Then create refunds then go home. It works really well always have loads of work to. Not enough hours in the day. 😂😂
Respect for showing us the work. Most people only show the success and the fun part of it all.

Nice hustle bro!!! really appreciate you sharing... keep it up!
Thank you for being real. Nice to see the no hype side of the business.
Nice to be the boss of ur own 👍🏻👍🏻
By the way u dont have rice lol
My question is where do you order all your inventory from? Alibaba? AliExpress?
This video is so motivating...i just dont know how to start..what to sell..how much to invest on what items..do i start a thrift shops just to learn..or should spend some cash on real merchandise?
I don’t understand why people are throwing so much hate your way. Does it matter if it’s 1MM a year or over the course of 10. Either way you’re clearly living your life exactly how you want. Congrats bro and thanks for the videos. They’re helping me chase my own dream.
Good work man. What's your ebay store, I'll go buy something
Hey. Thanks for sharing your day. I also do a ebay bizz for my actual job. Been doing it for years and years. Just wanted to let you know that I have been using a thermal printer with the ebay shipping for about 4-5 years now, and I haven't had any issues. I tried stampscom once and it just wasn't for me. I pull my orders and answer questions from the warehouse with the ipad, and pack orders from my workstation. I sell mostly clothing, so, everything is stored in 18 gallon totes stacked on uprights and pull from the bins. I try to put stuff that doesn't sell as quickly (seasonal) on the top, because I'll need the ladder...ughh. Then, I'm off to the post office by 4 everyday! It's great to have the freedom to stop and go as you need to. Keep on making that money! This is the best job I have ever had. It's so rewarding! LOVE IT!
Dude you are funny as heck. I loved the part where you tried that ASMR eating lol I really want to be similar to you in the future and have my own business. I can tell you are a laid back guy but you put your reputation before everything and that is something you don't see very often. +1s man you rock. This is the first video I have watched of yours but now I am inspired to watch more of your work. -Josh
What's up diymike! I just watch your video on your daily routine as a reseller and i really enjoyed it and thought it was informative. I wish other ebayers and resellers would do videos like you just did. Its adds perspective on how to run your business as a reseller. Its given me more motivation to keep hustlin out here in this reselling game. Thank you very much. 👍
Are you having a beer at 10am lol
Awesome walk through. Now I see why he's in business for himself. too many people makes it hard cause everyone has a different vision.
People really hatin on him... do the math on the packages he has in the bed of his truck he said (300)... if they cost in average $5 dollars a package he just grossed $1500 a day. That is $10,500 a week, $42000 a month and $504,000. So what ever he is selling in a day averagea $10 dollars a package... yep that is what the chinese do! They sell you all the cheap stuff but they know how to make money on it
Love it man ! Running my eBay for 1 year now 22£ K in profit 👌👌👌
A million in sales or profits....
Thealmost Bestgamers Profit
Next question?
Smh
How do you find distributors?
Sales
I want sells
Hey man, I don’t really follow people but I had to follow you because you seem real and you actually recorded yourself eating lol. I’ve started my eBay business and so far so good. Cheers!
Does I phone recognize your face when you get older ?
1boostup yes
You seem so cool, humble and laid back! Well done on all your success. You’re awesome!
Diymike over the past 10 years i have ran into so many people salty just like most of these commenting below. I figured it out, People hate watching or seeing someone successful, i think most of the people leaving these ridiculous comments our the ones that have nothing and hate seeing others succeed in life, They want to pass blame onto others and they want to TRY and discredit others by saying untruthful statements. I have run into people over the years that could not believe i make as much as i make doing what i love to do while they are working long and hard hours making way less and hating life, These sort of people are the inventors of the word "HATER" Most people cannot relate or even comprehend how we are able to be so successful while they are sitting around made at the world everyday waiting for the next person to make a video so they can bash them in the comments or try to ask them trick questions to see if they are real or not, These type of people will be the ones always last in the race.
Right on. Most people love the idea of success but many hate on successful people, then they wonder why they are still broke and miserable in their jobs. I experienced negativity with some co-workers when I made the transition to quitting my job and doing ebay and flea market sales full time. Some people, especially the ones that went through college spending thousands of dollars, can't wrap their head around how this college drop-out is making more in a week than they make in a month. Instead of self educating themselves and opening their mind to all of the opportunities that are out there, they rather be negative and call others liars, make excuses, place blame on circumstances, politics, etc.. I will check out your channel. I've been putting more time into affiliate marketing and direct sales, but still do some retail arbitrage & used items on ebay because its profitable and fun to find the deals.
I honestly appreciate this video I had a kid at 15 been working since busting my balls school ,work ,court (got into a fight in school) and my father got cancer all at once so making a little extra money on the side or perhaps a living soon will be great really don’t have much time to sit with my daughter Or to do anything I use to love to do working 2 jobs and I make side money by helping local neighbors fixing houses and cars hopefully I can get this started thanks again man this can be my kick from struggling Day to day
Dude. Where do you get your products? Thrifting? Good video BTW.
Looks like you have a lot of fun at what you are doing, and you making money doing it. That's what it's all about. Cheers to you and don't mind the haters.
I am a millionaire I don't have cable tv I don't have well organized work place, because I don't need those Only focus on making money.
Bạn rất thông minh! Tôi rất tự hào về bạn!
Kinda sounds like every millionaire out there
No, only Vietnamese millionaires are like this ;-)
ToiYeuYAHWEH lol
Slave
Nice business model. I love the honesty. You're the type of person that would have great reviews, which leads to customer trust and increased sales.
Ebay. slightly more profitable per hour than driving a Uber. LOL
Yes I agreed.
But none of us are making money by watching either lol
Versace you know, watching this video has no profit potential. You have to do work
Yeah put it's a little harder then driving. Better know your way around a company and just eBay isn't gonna do it. I've been running online sales and in person. For 6 years now. Took me 3 years to actual be successfull
Yeah right. Ebay is as profitable as you make it out to be. Don’t hate on this dude or Uber drivers. I know uber drivers who pocket more than a 100k a year and ebayers with 1000 percent profit margins.
You seen very authentic and not bull shitty like most people props brother!
this is all great, but you don't mention at all how you are getting the products you sell. we want figures, we want retail values, we want potential profits. its cool that you are doing your thing but as far as this video being informational at all, its not!
You silly goose, why would he share his suppliers and the items he gets? He would just be hurting his business because other ebay sellers would copy and become a bigger threat to his business. Think a little friend.
Do you want his social security number to? You clown, he figured it out you need to figure it out as well.
Found you thru the Tundra vids. Then the Savage badge caught my eye. Then you completely out do your self as I spy the RD Badge. Self Employed myself only way to go, much respect.
5:56 Now I know why my thermostat came out broken !! 🤦🏻♂️😂
Lol
And I drop and break it in the Tub!
This is Dope! . thought it was click bait . but now im here to level up my ebay biz.
I won't be buying a thermostat off you!
@Nolo Kobo it's a joke but did you see him throw it in the basket?
That aint nothing.... you should see how fedex and ups treats items that are shipped thats what you should be more worried about. LOL
@@EliteOnTheBeat I know¡
Made in chynnaaahhh
I agree customers service is very important. I ran a half a million dollar business book business on amazon for a company. There you have 24 hours to answer customer emails once you get them. I had to answer emails everyday. Being good to your customers pays off.
My Guy
Why is your comment with that name and that profile picture the best thing ever?
I haven't worked a wage non in 5 years now. Although is a lot of pressure and hard work to do it in your own terms it also very rewarding.
excellent tutorial thank you!
Way to go Mike. Nothing like being your own boss.
Whats up mike I have a top rated Ebay account which I used to sell very good replicas of bape shirts on now I have no inventory do you recommend me to go thrift shopping for merch or drop-ship like a lot of ebayers are doing now a days??
You can go thrift store shopping but get on google and do some searches for items that you sell. But looks for wholesale or distributors
Damn man 🤘🏻 living the dream. Obviously it didn’t just fall into your lap. Proves hard work pays off man. U look genuinely happy with what you do. Love it
Hey Mike,
Just wondering where do you purchase your inventory that you sell? I do ebay and have been since last year. Everything has been going great since I started but was recently looking into seeing how to get more inventory. At the moment I purchase overtock inventory from shipping distribution centers but am looking to expand where to buy from. Was wondering if you had any good tips or point me in the right direction? Thanks appreciate it, btw loved the video!
the whole video is fake lol
@Kev F. i'm a full time Amazon seller and E-bay seller for the past 8 years. I purchase from wholesellers. It's hard to get good prices if you buy low quantities. Go to Wholesale websites as wholesalecentral.com they have plenty of suppliers. But if you want good brands, you'll need bigger pockets. In this business you'll need money to make decent money. But, yes you definitely can make a lot more once you have $20K + of inventory circulating an injecting the profits back into the business.I got stuck reselling. But now a day prices are much more competitive than the past.
It's still doable, but with wholesale supplier you can build a more solid business with constant suppliers.
Damn good to see people doing their own thing and being their own bosses.
okay I'm a little jealous. that food looks good. what is that camouflage packaging.
I don't know why you don't have a million subs right now. keep up the good work
This was a waste of time.
its why you are still working for some dumb job and struggling.
I loved every minute of this video
This guys killing me look how relaxed he is 😂🤣😂😂🤣🤣🤣😂😂😂😂 I love this
ahhhhh so you are the chinees supplier that keep posting all the chinees ebayparts in the in the U.S
CUSTOMER SATISFACTION IS THE#1 KEY TO ANY BUSINESS !!
Sub'd...great job.. and thanks for the tips
it sounds like your business is very much like mine,,, only yours is much bigger than mine... you are my new ebay hero !!
Praying for your continued success.."Yeshua / Jesus is the way "
Alot of work you doing yourself. Respect man..
Start with someone to help you out tho!! It's too much work doing it yourself
a million on used car parts sure how dumb do you think we are?
if you have a 9 to 5 working to make someone else rich you are even more dumb. this dude gets it.
bustdetector Yeah, making a living by scamming people is quite the noble profession. Jackass.
Hater!
DIYMike you are tha man!!!! Love this video! Lmao. Having a beer at work because your the boss....classic bro!!!!
What do you sell
Nice down to earth video diymike! I loved it when you said you’re your own boss and I can do what I want.😀 I use eBay all the time and have never had a bad experience. Best of luck to you!
You are awesome!
the office looks fine....this guy is making money no doubt... when u work like this the office is gonna get messy no doubt as you always grafting away.....
It's possible but eBay and PayPal fees are insane
Thanks man. I run my own business and I know how it feels. After all the stress, there are small things that you can enjoy. That's what your lunch meant. Some don't get it.
I didn’t like the video. It contained a lot of nonsense. I came to watch a video on running an eBay business not to watch you eat
lmaoooo 😀
he has to fill up 10+ minutes to get his video monetised probably. And he did allright hahahaha
10 minutes of nothing; throw in inane sketch of you eating, and you end up with less than nothing. Total waste of time.
His channel don’t like it ? Guess what.. don’t watch it
Billy bob Smith lmao. Drinking and i hope u didnt buy that thermostat
Man when I first saw your video you were building or working on a car engine and now I'm more impressed of what you do... just subscribed 😁!
Who's better LeBron or Jordan?
Ohhhhh I remember this guy now.. Lol he's a liar. Lol
lol why is that ?
He is exaggerating but I do the same and I make about $1500 to $2000 a month.
Love your attitude! I gotta get going again. I used to sell years ago and did very well. I have so much stuff to get rid of and it's time to start backup and make some extra cash! I would love to do it full-time...Thanks Man
you should be careful and not do videos like these someone is going find where your warehouse is and is going to steal all your shit, will probably be on a weekend since you don't work those days
bay area415 out of all the buildings in the USA there is no way of finding where he lives, it’s like finding a needle in a hay stack. Dumbass!
Hexatious keep smoking that weed buddie lol
bay area415 and you’re the one telling him someone is going to rob him meanwhile you’re covering your face lol, how ironic...
Hexatious And your point is?
Awesome tour! Really enjoyed that. I recently, LITERALLY fell into $4.5M in inventory for A GREAT price. All stored in my garage at the moment. I've sold a little on eBay and a few selling apps. Also on Amazon (actually more profit there about $649 each trx), but sales are slower and I despise all the hurdles. I'd love to liquidate at $800K quickly. I guess time will tell, just don't want to waste too much time. I ain't getting any younger. 😁
What sort of inventory? Also where did you find your supplier? I've been thinking about getting into this
a million my arse. he looks broke
The wealth Asian style I heard. Many rich Asians dress like regular people. Well some. I know this sounds stereotypical but you cannot judge too quickly. I haven't seen it personally but have heard from friends and stories about these situations.
Looking broke isn't always a tell.
Maybe some people are smart and don't spend hundreds on clothes that could cost a lot less. It's a way of saving money
You'll be surprise. My VPs and bosses are filthy rich, 20 million plus net worth. They drive teslas and prius...
He's filming his day at work. Do you expect him to wear an Armani suit or something? Get real.
I learned more about your lunch than anything else today.
Guy is a sham
why? He is showing transparency and teaching others how to run a business. I don't understand why people CANT stop hating.
M. Castro because the whole channel is fake
I unsubscribed .... obviously a front to get views. Anyone can tell this is a joke
that comment there is why you will never be successful, nothing good comes to the ones that hate only bitterness
Ree Gold I am successful and not bitter... I’m just saying dude is a liar
This is the ideal situation I want to see myself doing. No boss. No bullshit. Treating yourself to a beer. That is definitely something I want to be doing. I can’t stand working retail anymore.
