I’m 67 but a healthy person. Today I cut and split about half a cord fire wood today, stacked it and cleaned up before cooking a wonderful salmon dinner. And now enjoying your video. You have been an inspiration. I have had a bad eBay selling experience, but have so many great items to sell as I recently closed a farm, house and an 80 year old hardware store. Not to mention all the things I’ve collected for years. Thanks so much for sharing.
PT reseller with a fulltime job. Working my butt off when I get home. So tired but keep pushing forward. Retiring in 2026 trying to make something of this reselling gig.
Thanks for the encouragement Mike. I found out this week that the company I work for is permanently closing at the end of January. This is the second time A company I was working for has closed in less than 5 years. I'm considering picking instead of another soul sucking job. I'm 58, so about the same age you were when you started in the picking /resale business. Thanks again.
Great video! My biggest fear about selling full-time is not having health insurance benefits without it taking most of your monthly proceeds. It's great if you're married and have a spouse who works for a company and you can use their benefits, but it's rough when you're single.
Great encouragement. Someone close told my son and his wife the same thing when they got married. He said jokingly “ I give it 6 months”. They were both 20. He has since passed and they are getting close to 11 years. His wife often laughs and says “Barry was wrong” 😂😂
Great motivational video, really made me think about my process. I struggle a bit with adult ADD, I have my good days and my not so good days as far as listing. I enjoy the hunt in sourcing and have plenty of stock, listing it is the problem....but I'm working on it! I'm 69 and do reselling to add to my retirement funds and doing pretty good...but I could do better. You have helped a bunch, I added books to my inventory and even Spanish language Marvel graphic novel comics that came into my local bin store, they are doing well! Enjoyed the video! Don't be having give aways early in the day.....I watch in the late evening! :) Be good, have fun!
I am confused how going to do my tax work, started selling last july only, can you tell me a quick word how to? because I was sitting and think may be I need to tell how much I bought every item I sold and how much I sold it for but then I will be required to provide receipt for each one?? it is not easy. also if my sales are lower than the minimum annual wage may be I will not be required to do the tax thing, I do not know, any advice or info is appreciated. I live in Portugal.
Hi there, have a random question for you. What do you use to edit your photos? I think you said you don’t really edit any, except for the first, but thought I’d check.

WOW! All the best to you. Sucks when this type of stuff happens to hard working people. Again, all the best to you

That is a huge issue. My wife helps but I still pay $830 a month
Mike, you're a Beautiful Soul. God Bless you.

I'm on 38 years and happy as ever. Thanks for the story.
I truly enjoy your videos Mike. With all of the negativity in this world, your positive outlook is so refreshing!
I've been a reseller for 10 years, now starting a non-reselling business. Thanks for the refresher! Great tips for any small business.
