In my opinion, resellers are suffering because everyone is broke! My mom used to sell handmade crafts and her sales really dropped when the economy went bad. I hope things turn around soon! ❤
Mercari actually has 0% seller fees! Fees go to the buyer, but that doesn't seem to have deterred them. They also aren't updating their shipping until after the end of the year like eBay did when USPS increased it, so lower shipping has helped customers. I started listing on Mercari last month after only listing on eBay, it literally doubled my sales. Sometimes I prefer selling on Mercari because I know the price I'm asking (or will take from an offer) is the price I'm getting. The only thing is you have to pay $2 to withdraw your money, but if you wait until you have a good chunk earned, that $2 isn't much at all. I get a lot more views and interest on Mercari as well, and I sell quite a variety of things.
You could own livestock for the amount of work your business calls for! My students teen sister got bit by a copperhead, hospitalized twice and still has health problems from the bite a year ago. So glad you or Willow didn't get bit! Loved this video! Can't wait to see the storage unit videos.
Speaking of stealing trailers I don't know why people don't pay a little bit and put an Apple AirTag hidden on the trailers. Best insurance you can buy. Should be one in anything valuable. You can get 4 for $89 on sale.
Getting ice cream with the one you love is the best date ever. On our first date 61 years and 6 months ago we had our first date. She beat me at a bowling ally like I was a whipped dog and we had ice cream afterwards. Best day of my life.
Wish we were closer to one another, bc that trailer is something I really want and need. My open utility trailer has deteriorated in the elements. Wish I still had your energy and stamina to get my garage cleaned out and organized. Have a great week!
Fantastic video!! Your energy just gave me the energy to get so much stuff done today!!! Thank you so very much for all the uplifting, happy and positive things you share!! I love you guys!!
So glad to hear you two are going to do more traveling, especially while you’re still young enough to really enjoy it! Okay, maybe you don’t feel so young but that’s ‘cause you work so hard. I’m turning 73 this month and am very grateful I was able to travel around the country over the last 20+ years. It’s great to meet people from all over!
Thanks for sharing and motivating ❤💪 I have a very small store but my 2 highest priced items sold on the weekend 🤑 one at 600 and the other at 260 . My previous 90 day total was 1900, this weekend sales helped me alot to stay motivated and keep listing 😅
Happy Birthday Julian! I hope you enjoyed your dinner out. I'm hoping to get to come to the yard sale in September! I'll look for you two if I make it there!
I'm exhausted just watching y'all 😂 That's a lot of work right there, and I'm not sure why I get so much joy from watching you, but I do! 😊 I just checked and Myrtle Beach Is a 7 hour drive from my town...I'm thinking about making a road trip. I just don't know if Karen will let me do the walking at the yard sale...Karen is my bad hip...I got tired of sounding like a hypochondriac griping about "my hip" so I just named her Karen. It works. Karen can be extremely rude when it comes to walking 😵💫😊😉 She gets on my LAST nerve!!!
Oh, do bring Willow to Greensboro! I have TWO dachshunds! You can see the historic denim mills and thrift here as well! You can stay at the O Henry Hotel, and I will keep willow :) just vacay next! hahahaha. I'm kinda serious now :) I love your plan! and what and how you do it!
I think the state of the economy may significantly affect resellers. I'm pretty much at the point of not buying anything extra and wondering if others are also feeling the squeeze.
Keep us posted on the offer situation! I too have had issues. eBay told me that when a buyer sends their offer and they do not pay immediately when accepted, the item stays listed so anyone can send offer on the item…so you do not have to wait 4 days if someone else is interested. One time we lost a sale and eBay could not tell us why…I accepted offer, but the buyer didn’t get the notification, item was still listed and eBay said it was the issue I stated above🤷🏼♀️I don’t think so🤔
eBay definitely has a glitch. They automatically relisted an item that had already been sold and shipped, and of course, it sold again. 🙄 eBay told me they had a major glitch in their system and were hoping to have it fixed this week. The recommendation was to check your listed items after an item sells because it may be there and under the Solds. Still finding the joy, Julian!😅
It appears that there's a glitch in multiple places. It's an election year! 🙄 And just so much nonsense going on everywhere. I hope all these websites clean their act up.
I don’t know if anyone else has posted this, but eBay is doing a new thing where someone can send an offer but if they don’t immediately pay, it doesn’t get removed from active listings immediately, someone else can buy the item and pay for it and then it gets removed from active listings. And the initial buyer who sent the offer loses out.
Question for you both. How much time does whatnot give you to ship? I just waited 5 days for a seller to go to ship my stuff. Bought on Thursday, they shipped Tuesday.
You always seem to say just the right thing at just the right time. 😊 I watched this video yesterday while at the end of a big organization day just like you guys were having. I was exhausted and ready to quit when you said...."don't put it off, you'll be happy you didn't in the morning " (paraphrased 😂) ...soooo, I pushed through and am sooooo happy I did! Getting up this morning with all that done feels GOOD! Thanks! Great video! You two have an awesome day!
I'm happy to hear you plan to travel more in the future because I enjoy your travel videos. Thanks. P.S. Consider selling your Tahoe to CarMax, they always give me a good deal when selling cars.
Quick question. When you want to custom sku your items and you have to revise your listing does it count as a new listing and reduce the number of listing you can generate for that month? I have the first level store so I get 1000 free listing per month so just wanted to see if revising listings subtract from that total. Thanks Pokerdude's Projects
Just my opinion. If your plans include getting a full size pick up I would probably keep the trailer that you have. My son and I do estate buyouts and we usually run 2 trailers plus we have an open landscape trailer.
Luv both shows guys. Question for you, maybe a Flipzuad episode. After the big yard sale, do you and will your systems track any losses you had on items? I ask because I'm guessing you can deduct your losses in addition to banking the cash you do bring home. Seems like it could be a lot of work, ut may (or may not) be worth the effort. Thanks and keep up the great work.
Nice video you guys! Always good info and a step by step, day to day, in the life of.... kinda video. Not just the glitz and glamor that most show. Hope dinner was great.
I wish I could come to the garage sale. I'd love to have that cart. Mine went missing and they're about a hundred on Amazon. Y'all have fun though. God bless y'all!❤️🙏❤️
There’s so many things you guys have I’d buy but BTR is a bit far… although in my younger days Carolina coasts were always an annual trip! Also, hope you relocated the copper head somewhere safe… like a burn pit…
I like your daily blog, interesting to know what you have to do to keep the business going. Especially if someone is thinking of selling on eBay as you do. Love your attitude; enjoy each day no matter what your doing. You are lucky you have learned that early in your life. Best to you both!!
Y’all need to buy property like pro picker with a nice building/ barn on the property. Maybe go in with your parents for a warehouse. Just making suggestions 😂 I’m sure you have thought of everything. Love your videos Happy Birthday Julian🎉
Next to my desk is a chalkboard with Col. 3:23 on it so I am reminded on days when I need to find joy 😊 Could you not sell the trailer at the yard sale? Come home with nothing
I have thought of that, to have them pick it up but I rather take them also because you know they are secure from your house to the post office, After that you know it is not your fault plus talking to the post office people hehe is fun!
USPS picks up at my local UPS store. They don’t get scanned until a carrier picks up at noon every day. It’s easy to just drop and run than go to the PO. I usually take pictures of pricier items when I drop. Never had a problem.
I got lucky on finding a lot of wrapping paper in a storage unit and haven't bought bubble wrap since for 2 years 🤑 a dollar saved is a dollar earned 💪
I had the same issue with an offer I accepted but it didn’t show on his end. I had to lower price and he bought straight out. Glad I was messaging him.
I just had the same thing happen to me on the offer accepted. Apparently they are doing a new thing where if you accept an offer it stays listed in your store instead of it being marked awaiting payment/sold. It is apparently to give other buyers the option to buy it if the buyer never pays.
This! ⬆️. This started about 2 mos ago. The items remain available for purchase until paid. It doesn’t show a pending offer on other buyers side either eBay customer svc told me it’s a better buyer experience this way 🤷🏻♀️
Lots of work.. I think you will be late for dinner.. & Yes, you need to have a supply of Boxes (Hooray for Willow's Blanket..) Thanks for sharing with us.. Love your channel..
There is an ebay itch for sure. Sales were down for several days from Aug 10-15 and I had no change in items I was listing. Then all of a sudden on the 16th it bounced back to normal and even above average sales.
With the battery issue for Willows monitor... do you use rechargable batteries, and recharge them of a night in your air b n b when you do the 127 or traveling in general.... 😀😃😄
It's been awhile now that all offers stay available and not considered sold until paid for. So technically you could accept several offers on the same item and first one that pays gets the item.
Good for your Post Office supporting you and you working with them!

Famous last words…”I’ll get gas in the morning”. DO IT NOW lol gets me every single time.
Love your videos, thanks for all you do.
Appreciate the 9 line shirt. Thank you for supporting our troops!
Speaking of stealing trailers I don't know why people don't pay a little bit and put an Apple AirTag hidden on the trailers. Best insurance you can buy. Should be one in anything valuable. You can get 4 for $89 on sale.
Agree. We use them for cars, baggage, and dogs.
Getting ice cream with the one you love is the best date ever. On our first date 61 years and 6 months ago we had our first date. She beat me at a bowling ally like I was a whipped dog and we had ice cream afterwards. Best day of my life.
The trailer also has thousands of tiny dents from when you hit it when you say "I'll always get YOU *BAM* on the next one!" 😆
😅
Wish we were closer to one another, bc that trailer is something I really want and need. My open utility trailer has deteriorated in the elements. Wish I still had your energy and stamina to get my garage cleaned out and organized. Have a great week!
Hope you two are doing well. Happy birthday. I’ll have to check out NY Prime.
Happy birthday Julian!🎉
I like the VLOGs. Watching people doing stuff makes me feel less lazy. :-)
I have been here 2 1/2 years and I've yet to see a copperhead.... Thank Gosh your baby and you are safe ❤️
Thanks for counting me with my arm up for the booth (for the tea cart). 😂
Yessss...get a Bearded Thrift machine flag! That's so cute and fun! ( :
Those red flowers outside your garage are so pretty!
Fantastic video!! Your energy just gave me the energy to get so much stuff done today!!! Thank you so very much for all the uplifting, happy and positive things you share!! I love you guys!!

You have minutes, you don’t have service inside the metal buildings! 😂 Lol
I'm so glad you mentioned that sold item issue. I'm seeing that too
I don’t have a store so I don’t get the field for custom SKU. I just add my bin# a couple of lines after I write my description. Works for me.
You can add it from a computer and then it will show up on the app for you. Look it up on Google.
haha you call it junk movers, we call it sh*t shifters
Thanks for the great advice! I wish I was closer so I could come to your sale.
I don't recall ever seeing video of your booth meet & greet. Did I miss it?
Do today something that makes your tomorrow easier ~ great advice!!
How do I find you on whatnot please leave link

I hope all these websites clean their act up.
Staying one step ahead, very good "advice". You all's work ethic is rare and admirable!
Album boxes are a MUST! Great advice...
Our local post office has a self scan kiosk. No line, just walk up and scan your stuff in. It's at the end of the counter so it's a monitored space.
I don’t know if anyone else has posted this, but eBay is doing a new thing where someone can send an offer but if they don’t immediately pay, it doesn’t get removed from active listings immediately, someone else can buy the item and pay for it and then it gets removed from active listings. And the initial buyer who sent the offer loses out.
That’s not new, that has been the case for offers on eBay for at least 4 years.
Question for you both. How much time does whatnot give you to ship? I just waited 5 days for a seller to go to ship my stuff. Bought on Thursday, they shipped Tuesday.
Yep, eBay has been very slow! But there is always something to do to the inventory! Enjoy your videos always learning!
Happy happy birthday Julian 🎁🎉🎉
You always seem to say just the right thing at just the right time. 😊

Great video! You two have an awesome day!
Happy Birthday Julian 🎉🎂❤
What about buying a house to use for storage ? Would that be cheaper ?
I'm happy to hear you plan to travel more in the future because I enjoy your travel videos. Thanks. P.S. Consider selling your Tahoe to CarMax, they always give me a good deal when selling cars.
Loved the video! BTW I voted for the yard sale. 🤪
You’re reminding me of what I need to do to my snail pile 🤦🏻♀️
Do you guys reuse boxes from stuff that you order? For example, amazon boxes and the packing stuff they put in there?
21 main is awesome too. ❤
Good idea with the yard sale stickers.
Quick question. When you want to custom sku your items and you have to revise your listing does it count as a new listing and reduce the number of listing you can generate for that month? I have the first level store so I get 1000 free listing per month so just wanted to see if revising listings subtract from that total. Thanks Pokerdude's Projects
No, revisions don't count against your total.
Happy birthday.🎉
Cart will be great in the booth staged with dishes 😊
Booth! 23:17
You ever get to Illinois look us up. I’m 80 though so we might be gone, but my wife has over 2000 chickens in our kitchen/dining room alone.
Just my opinion. If your plans include getting a full size pick up I would probably keep the trailer that you have. My son and I do estate buyouts and we usually run 2 trailers plus we have an open landscape trailer.

Did you turn your vacation mode off.🤔
That's happening to me to! The sale shows up in a couple of hours. About 3 times.
I wish I could come to the garage sale. I'd love to have that cart. Mine went missing and they're about a hundred on Amazon. Y'all have fun though. God bless y'all!❤️🙏❤️
What are you listed on eBay. I would love to see what you all have. Thanks
Thanks for the great content. I "watch" your videos while I'm working.
leave one of your phones in the jeep - facetime call, see and hear Willow, see thermometer
Why? They have the thermometer with them at all times. Willow is fine, they are never far from the car anyhow.
There’s so many things you guys have I’d buy but BTR is a bit far… although in my younger days Carolina coasts were always an annual trip! Also, hope you relocated the copper head somewhere safe… like a burn pit…
what time does the yard sale in myrtle beach start on 9/7/2024?
Happy BIRTHDAY, Julian🎉🎂🎊🎂❤️

I love when you do the vlogs love listening to you guys
Next to my desk is a chalkboard with Col. 3:23 on it so I am reminded on days when I need to find joy 😊 Could you not sell the trailer at the yard sale? Come home with nothing
Why have you not rented one huge unit, like 10x30? Use shelves to make rows.
Booth it is lol I was thinking the cart would get more money in the booth . Love your videos !! Happy Birthday Julian !
Happy Birthday! (Belated)
These videos are so fun to watch. Going places I could ever go.
Thanks for the great vlogs!
Do you find Hand woodworking tools? Old style
I have thought of that, to have them pick it up but I rather take them also because you know they are secure from your house to the post office, After that you know it is not your fault plus talking to the post office people hehe is fun!
Thanks for answering my question. It was vey helpful. I love watching your videos.
Great tips. And Happy Birthday!
I’ve had two items “sell” by me accepting offers and just like you said, it never went to awaiting payment or sold. I thought it was just me 🤷♀️
When you come to Washington state we would love to meet up with you.
August hase been atrociously slow. Can't wait for the next couple of months 😂

I have 2 booths and I had quite a bit of fall items to display and it mostly sold already and its still August.😮
Thanks for explaining the issue with EBay, problem. I ordered, not from you guys but had that problem. I just thought it was the selller…now I know.
There is an ebay itch for sure. Sales were down for several days from Aug 10-15 and I had no change in items I was listing. Then all of a sudden on the 16th it bounced back to normal and even above average sales.
Just want to let you know l love you two!
You would have been a great cop!!!
Factor boxes were very handy for a few things for sure.
I do hope they fix it soon. Accepted offers just seem to disappear.
With the battery issue for Willows monitor... do you use rechargable batteries, and recharge them of a night in your air b n b when you do the 127 or traveling in general.... 😀😃😄

You guys are cracking me up. I say the cart goes to booth lol😊😊😊😊😊
