My motivation is to bring in enough income to relieve stress off my husband. He has been our main provider for over twenty years. I want to be able to pay for my kids needs and make a second mortgage payment each month.
That's a good goal. I have to make goals.
Wishing you the best of luck in your goals 🍀
I started reselling after I discovered reselling videos on UA-cam as a way to bring my husband out of a depression and for us to become closer by having a shared hobby. He had just retired after working since age 15 and did not know what to do without work. He was very depressed and just laid in bed all day every day. One day, I made him watch one of your sourcing videos and that sparked his interest. We started watching reseller videos and he decided it would be a great hobby for us. We started reselling and now he jumps out of bed every sourcing day, ready to go to the garage sales to see what he can find to resell. It has given him back his good mental health. He watches every one of your videos now. So do I.
100% agree - hearing a little boy playing ball up against a wall is super cute!
No cancellations,no losing or breaking items, nice organization,no drama clickbait and always great advice. Excellent information!
I love the sarcasm...
My motivation is to have a way to support my family that fits my life and theirs. I don't want to be rich, I want to have "enough." That causes me to make different choices than other people in the reselling world - I'm not chasing pennies or dreaming of being big. Life changed for me after COVID. I'm hearing impaired and I used to be in big corporate IT, but since my industry went remote, I can't read lips any more and I can't be as effective as I want to be. Reselling fits my wants and needs. Reselling isn't the same to everyone, but what it definitely is - is flexible. It can be so many different things and help so many people.
I was laid off twice as a business analyst, I helped make tools to streamline the way the company did their business. Basically our tools reduced the length of time it took to do certain tasks using automation. Both times I was laid off and the companies sent these jobs overseas for someone else to use those tools. I was so tired of it all, I quit my job and started reselling full time and I also work PT at a restaurant 2 nights a week. Life couldn't be better, I get to see my kids more, spend more time with the wife, get things done around the house and peace of mind is much better. My motivation is to never have to go back to that lifestyle again.
Exactly why i watch! We are early 60's. Sell to help ends meet! You run your eBay exactly like we do. We sell what we like and what makes a little extra money. Well. i just help my hubby a little when i can as i have a bad back but it makes me happy to go out and pick up things for him to sell. It keeps me busy and keeps my mind off of the pain and the loss of the job that I absolutely loved.
Freedom. I can set my own hours, make my own goals, flexibility to change what I want, take time off when I want, sell what I want to.
My youngest son just moved to Austin TX so current motivation is to save for a trip this fall to visit him and my grandpup. It’s the same boy who used to throw the tennis ball off our summer camp roof all day long every summer. Our neighbors could never understand why we let him do that all day, I think it drove them crazy. I used to tell them I liked him doing that because then I knew where he was and he wasn’t off getting in trouble. Enjoy that sound of the ball off the wall, time goes by so fast,won’t be long till you will miss that sound. ❤❤❤
I am constantly amazed that in retirement for 96 months in a row - 8 years I have taken home $2,000 spendable income each month or more from Ebay reselling.
Most would scoff at the unorganized messy way I run my selling, but after 8 years the proof is there. 2023 brought $34.00 per hour of work. and that is after fees, taxes, cost of goods and supplies. And I achieved this working only 20 hours a week.
Could I do better? Of course!
This world needs more people like you, Kevin.
There is definitely money to be made in UA-cam. I decided to just turn on the camera while I'm out there working. Making videos helping people with Reselling actually takes quite a bit of work and It would be nice to get paid for it. I mentor resellers locally that ask for my help. I'm also an eBay seller chapter leader for my city. Ebay doesn't pay me for that but I enjoy helping and seeing success that others get. There's one guy I'm helping right now starting fresh on eBay last week and he already has one sale. All of this takes away time that I could use for my own business make more money for myself. But like I said the enjoyment of helping is far more beneficial I think.
My motivation 21 years ago was being a single mom it supplemented my income, I then started doing consignment and did really well doing that but it was another full time job and it took the pleasure out of it. I quit for a while because I just burned out and then covid hit and I retired during that time I was cleaning out the shed and started selling again and once again the enjoyment was there. Now I go to thrift stores, yard sales buy and sell I find so much enjoyment doing it. I often think if it weren't for reselling I would not be as active as I am. So my motivation at this stage is it makes me happy. I love your videos Kevin
I personally have learned so much from your channel. Things I would of passed on, now my eyes are open. Love how you always tell the ups and downs and don't sugar coat it. I have watched your channel for awhile, you make if your business what you want and the effort you put in and I know I am constantly changing and growing.
Could you make a "cleaning" video where you show us your cleaning process? I'm always curious about others' ways of cleaning different items.
I am retired and my reselling goal was to make extra money to travel. However, times have changed and my husband has dementia. There might be a time in the future when I can't take care of him, so now I am saving for possible nursing home costs. Luckily at 84, I am still healthy, but I am also truly worried, therefore, I will keep selling as long as possible.
Happy for your health. Quite a job I’m sure to take care of things for your husband.
Sorry ab ur hubby. My great aunt is close to 103 + I have 3 relatives in their 90’s who take care of themselves + they too r healthy, so good for u. It also helps to keep u busy so keep going!
I think the key thing when it comes to people doing something "just to make money," is: are they offering something sincerely, something genuine, something of actual value? I watch a variety of UA-camrs and stick with the ones who I can say Yes to in answer to that question.
I *am* trying to make my living as an eBay seller. And watching you is *so* encouraging. To see what things sell, and for how much, things I would never look at twice, is valuable information! I hate working for other people, but I do need some community, some sense of camaraderie, and watching resellers on UA-cam gives me that. So thanks for sharing your knowledge!
my motivation is family. I have worked in the Corp world most of my life. Holding high positions. I missed out on so much with the family. I took the dive into reselling again, knowing I no longer have to miss things. I also have it in my head that if I can manage and make multi-million dollar companies money I can do it for myself on a smaller scale. The struggle is real. Your videos also motivate me and puts me in a mindset to learn more and gain more. My friend keep pushing forward! You are making a difference!
awesome and thank you
Ive been reslling casually for about 20 years but just taking it seriously this year. Finding all the youtube channels and other outlets to help me grow
Well you never know... i picked up 4 items free on a walk... listed it.. sold within 24 hrs. Made some good profit as well. The only thing we can do is keep on grinding.
That’s awesome! I love curb shopping!
my life motivation and I only just realized what that was after 60 years on this planet is peace drama free ..all my life choices was me escaping stress drama
I have less than 10 years before I can retire. I do this so I can spend the last couple of years before I retire not working for anyone else. I watch a couple of UA-cam shows so I can look for new items for sale. I have bought stuff that I never would of looked at because of your channel. Everyone will have different result due to lots of factors. I don't try to compare myself to you. I just try to learn ideas to help me.
My reason for selling on ebay was to get rid of stuff when we were moving many years ago. I think it is fun, and i like that feeling i get every time something sells, even now after 22 years. Of course over that time the reason for reselling has changed, switched to being able to stay home and take care of my mom and build a part time retirement income. Then when I was diagnosed with a debilitatin disease, it has become an income replacement source since my husband had to retire early to help me take care of the house, pets etc.
I received my ttc bag in the mail yesterday. I love it, and the next one will be the commonwealth picker bag. Thanks so much
My hubby and I do this for his retirement and our financial stability and family. And my hubby and I do this together to stay connected. 😊
Kevin for President! Good to hear some honesty for a change. Appreciate you, sir.
lol. Be careful what you ask for. 😉
Great video! I have been put of touch with reselling this past year after the unexpected loss of my mother. I am now in the mindset to get back at it and this video is making me really think about my motivation. With the rough economy right now I just want to be able to make enough money to cover groceries and extra expenses (ie: sports for our son, fun family events, and such). Being a one income family money has been very tight lately, so anything I can do to help my husband to relieve some of the financial responsibilities makes me happy. And of course treasure hunting is always the best part! Enjoy your videos always!
Of all the YT resellers, I enjoy watching your presentations. Seeing the odd things that you pick up is one aspect, but your honesty and perspective on all things is enjoyable. If you are looking to make money at this game you better be mining your inventory in a good location. I enjoy finding things that I can use or has value to others. I worked for many years at a "real' job so I don't need the burden of making work out of something that can be fun and entertaining. I list things when I have the time that is not needed in other things. Making money is not my goal. I just like to find things that have value not only to me but someone else. Keep it fun and you can be successful.
Love your reasons and motivation. Our first motivation was to get rid of things around the house. Now we have 10x what we had. lol. We found that making the extra money, not a ton but enough, was nice. We both work full time as well so this is a side thing for us. What motivates us now is spending every single Friday together sourcing. Wall day. We love the drives, the talks and just having that one on one time with one another (my wife and I). Thank you Kevin!!!
My motivation is the thrill of the hunt and doing research, learning about glass, pottery, clothes, etc. Of course Im in it to make money, Ive been disabled for years, now 69, in constant pain, doing it all myself. I have 600-800 items listed at any time which is about all I can store and remember where they are. Its getting harder but I do love it when you see an item that you know has value or the surprise when researching an item that turns out better than you thought. Hoping to hang on for a few more years because SS isnt enough to live on and money from ebay helps so much.
This video was spot on!! I was laid off the beginning of the year from a job I hated and dreaded the thought of going back to it! Let alone fighting to get another job like it. I love reselling and hope I never have to go back!
Love your channel!
Now that I've moved from part-time to full-time reselling, connecting with other resellers has been crucial for me, but a sneak into your store to see what or how you are running your store, inventory storage, tips & tricks, photography tricks, and feel connected to people in the same arena.
Support systems, My wife picks with me. She is such a great support. She supported me in leaving a job I hated. Without her, I would not be who I am. The rest of the family just do not understand what we do. Some even say we steal from people instead of giving them the true value of items.
I have been on Ebay since 1998. I am often frustrated by Ebay, have tried most of the other selling sites as they come along and always go back to Uncle Ebay, as we call it. In thinking about my motivation, I love the hunt. The early morning garage sales, chatting with people and getting out of the house. Estate sales, auctions, browsing antique stores for a deal. It makes me happy. My Ebay room is my happy place. I tell family that I buy stuff so I can sell stuff so I can buy more stuff to sell. I enjoy you and your vids because you seem to be the closest to my beliefs. I know I'll never make millions, but I'll be happy and I'm ok with that.
I moved south 12 years ago, still haven't made many friends here. Anyway, I started reselling 2.5 years ago to a) give me something to do! and b) supplement our social security income. I want so badly to be able to have a booth at our local flea market and/ or antique store, but my sales just aren't there yet. I love just about all things, and know others do too, so I guess I'm trying to shop for them, too.
After 30 years of managing restaurants and a significant burn-out, I moved to the middle of the county and took a job that pays Much less( but one that I really enjoy). So in order to do that, I started to resell part time to supplement my income. I'm a much happier person now... Happiness with my life is my motivation 😊
I am with you also on not needing a million dollars. Just want to pay the bills and take care of the family. I would rather list on ebay and if I need a week/day or hour for the family I can take it.
My motivations are Freedom, Security, and to provide for my Family. Pretty straightforward.
I'm saving for my kitchen reno. When I don't feel like working on eBay, I repeat to myself (and others around me) KITCHEN, KITCHEN, KITCHEN.
My motivation is to clear my house. It's like a storage building with a roof! My hangup?
Do do auctions or "Buy it Now"?
How do I figure shipping?
Last item? If I print shipping from home, what system is best.
Love the videos, but the ads are annoying. If I get in early, I have to put up with 2 or 3 ads. If I get in a day or 2 after posting? I've counted 7 and 8 per episode.
Not sure that’s him, youtube ramping em up. VPNs do help cut those down.
My motivation is to have the freedom to enjoy life. I love reselling, but I do find myself feeling overwhelmed sometimes trying to grow it enough to actually enjoy some life. I dont need to make a million dollars, I just want to make enough to pay my bills, save some and be able to do something without worrying about if it will break me.
My 7th grade science teacher, Bob Herring would spend 10-15 minutes every class telling stories. I distinctly remember a story about musty laundry left in the washer after it was cleaned. He then followed me to high school as an assistant principal. Loss of a great teacher. I'm 62 so it was a long time ago. Kevin Brown was likely that kind of teacher. Good for us that they don't pay teachers 6 figures down there in VA, like they do in NYS.
I’ve said it before I’ll say it again. Kevin, Dave and Troy sell the way I sell eclectically. To me you guys are very relatable and personable. You guys seem to be the guys I’d want to sit down and dinner and break bread with, or going to yard sales with to pick your brains about the things you pick up and why or why you’d pass on others. Keep making great content.
Whose Troy ? What's his page called?
My motivation was I wanted more time with family also and freedom. My last job was good paying but would often end up working 16 hour days at the drop of a hat, 50-60+ hours every week. Taking care of people with developmental disabilities… I started my UA-cam channel when I left the job.. because it wasn’t my first time venturing into reselling full-time so I figured it’d make it a little more fun/interesting for me. Am I seeking monetization? Of course, someday if it happens. Until then it’s more for my entertainment.. I got a tiny following I’m very grateful for and Ive learned a few things to help me from my comments section and other UA-camrs. I’m happy with my sales numbers, it works for me and my area. While I get knocked in my comments sometimes, “How do you make a living only making blah blah”. PLUS, a good day at my old job doesn’t and will never beat a bad day as a reseller. Beats changing adult diapers for damn sure!!! lol.
Amen
I am disabled and have tons of medical issues. I do this to have something to do and to help my husband, who has a heavy load to carry. I don't make much but it helps to supplement my medical bills. I understand about the money, my husband has always said he wanted to be rich. My goals are to just be comfortable, I feel being rich only brings different problems and takes a lot more of your time and energy. I just want to be comfortable and spend my time enjoying life with my family.
Thanks! Today's show is very helpful for me.
We are not UA-cam resellers we only sell on eBay and Mercari and do well off for our own online thrift store business with no social media following
Im a "to scale" media seller and he is 100% right. Being an everything seller is much more fun but can never scale as well as being niched down. I spend 90% of my time in my niche but everything selling is the fun part so i have about 1hour a day I set to everything stuff.
I will NOT name any names because I am sure there are people who watch the both of their channels, but a week or so ago they posted a video and made a claim that was grossly FALSE about an item they found. I wanted to remind the potential resellers about why this was incorrect and how important this particular process is in reselling if you aim to be successful. They deleted my comment. I was kind, I did not specifically say "they were wrong." My comment did in fact expose their desire for views over honesty but that was not my intention. I was looking out for those new and potential resellers. SO I guess just be mindul of where your information comes from if you don't have much experience yet.
U said a mouthful! A well known YT’ber strongly pushed a product to kids for their acne. A teen said it burned her face badly. The YTber told her to try it again. I nicely commented that the 2nd ingredient is alcohol. She deleted my comment as well. Very sad that the world is now ab ‘Me, myself + I’… even harmfully… at our expense. Ur advice, to be mindful… is great advice.
One UA-camr I’ve watched for proly 5 years, last year they started releasing 2-5 videos per day. Maybe 2 reg length videos 15-30 minutes -most at 20 minutes, several shorts and an advertisement or two. I have a few ideas why this occurred.
Your info in your videos is amazing! My favorite channel by far!
Well thank you.
My father (God rest his soul) always told me life is about CREATING YOUR OWN REALITY and LIVING IN A WORLD THAT MAKES YOU HAPPY! Love the Disney World analogy. We are our thoughts and our thoughts help mold the life we live in.. Peace Kevin!
Kevin - What is the size of your shed/office??
We have enjoyed it as a family. It has given us an opportunity to downsize our own collection, plus enjoy finding & reselling what we love. We have helped our daughter pay off college, all while doing what we enjoy. My goal is helping my home, extra expenses & giving. You have to be happy doing what you are doing and we can tell that you do. Bless you and yours and thank you for another great video.
P.S. We always buy Vera Bradley when we see it. Haha They are fun and colorful!
I love the hunt in the game. I love selling anything. The research and learning about different things are exciting to me. I am a creature of habits but I love that I have ventured into clothes and shoes. It's been a learning experience for me and what I like and dislike selling. I HATE CLOTHES! But I've learned a lot. I could go on but... Thanks Kevin for what you share... You rock! ☮️
Retired i use my ebay money for vacations and all the extra things i want in life . Same as you just love the search and that big find of the day .Nothing is more thrilling than that big ticket item you find for little to nothing and of course the knowledge is the king
I've got no shame - I do reselling and youtube to make money. My goal is to be debt free and quit my job. Not making money yet on UA-cam - but doing all right reselling. I do love it, I find joy in all aspects of it. Is it sometimes aggravating? Sure - but the pros greatly out weigh the cons. Thanks for another fun and informative episode!
Biggest score ever!!!!! 3 thrift stores give us all their dead bags and boxes 📦 OH boy, our eBay is going to be blowing up as we ho through it all. Thanks for your inspiration 🙏 🙌
Great video and you made so much sense. My motivation was $500/month. That ended up being so easy and I loved reselling so much I kept at it. I started with the goal of selling vintage only, and mostly still do, but I also sell new and other great deals I come across. I live very rural and we have many Amish stores that buy Amazon pallets for resell. Often they don't know the value of the items they get and I can buy for pennies to resell for good money. My favorite pass time is attending farm estate auctions. I can buy whole boxes for $1 to flip. Most people around here see no value in vintage housewares. I love reselling and can't wait to get back to it once my Chemo treatments are complete.
My biggest problem, is lack of help. I'm a divorced guy, with my kids living out of town. So I'm a one man company. Unfortunately finding someone trustworthy to help, is very difficult in my area. So I plod on the best I can. Lol.
I look forward to your “conversation” about why you do what you do. I do love the way you think about this and a lot of other things. It rings true to me and is an inspiration. Keep on keeping on!! Wishing you the best 😊😁
I started off selling as an extra income source. Now, I split the profits into two different accounts, one for family vacation and the other for my retirement years.
Great motivation video for me!! My motivation is Freedom, from stress of others demands of me! Thanks for the reminder, I needed it right now 😊
Thank you for your good advice. I should have listened to you before I quit Ebay. Today I found two original Beatles albums for $1.99 each at a 2nd Ave. Thrift store. My son sells CD's and vinyl albums so I hope he turns a good profit on them. I've made some small sales in the past 2 weeks -- nothing that is going to make me rich but it gives me a chance to be rated.
I am retired and sell on ebay for the extra income. I also enjoy the extra benefits of helping people make money from their garage sales and offering these items to people you have a use for them
amen
Enjoy your videos. Just started resale & have the same kind of hunting. I need to enjoy it. Just looki g for extra income in retirement. But I have to enjoy it & maybe help family. Get exercise. Be busy. You have to have a purpose in life. Be as busy as you want to be, no stress. Keep being you. Thanks.
My motivation has always been taking care of my family. Having money isn't important if you don't have anyone to share with. The knowledge I've received from you and other resellers has helped me greatly as I continue to grow as a reseller. Even though media has been my strong suit, I sell anything and everything I can. I try to have as much inventory to provide to the community that are in need of the items I sell. I am blessed to be able to do this. What started as therapy for me, has become a grand adventure in my life.
My motivation is to do to the best of my ability make money without ripping yard sellers off. I pay a good price and still make good money because I am doing it best, and still do well and not do it against my belief in Christ because I don't want to be a criminal business jerk.Im not saying you are, your not , but there are plenty of examples in the news.thank you for your help Dj
Hi Kevin, I’ve been watching your videos for several years and really enjoy them! I kind of fell into reselling in the past year. I had to move my mom into a memory care facility because she has dementia. She was an avid thrifter and somewhat of a collector for years so I wanted a good way to sell some of her stuff. I started selling on Ebay (thanks for all the education) and I was hooked. I started looking for stuff from my house and I am now on to picking stuff at garage sales and thrift stores! I am also a former educator (music ed.) I just have three students now…my grandchildren. I don’t see myself stopping the reselling when my mom’s stuff is all sold…I’m on a mission to get my husband into this too when he retires next year 😂
You have built a great life for you and your family that allows you the flexibility to enjoy life. I think that’s amazing and something everyone could hope for!!
I would say nearly everyone including myself do almost everything in life for self-advancement and I don't think it has to just be monetary it could also be validation or other "selfish" reasons, my pet peeve is when people try to convince me otherwise. TFS Friend!
So grateful for your honesty. 👏👏
As for motivation, honestly, I enjoy picking! Chatting at garage sales and stumbling upon notaslgic items from my youth is a blast. I started on Poshmark in 2019 and have slowly expanded beyond clothing. I'm in my early 60s so building a little side business to augment retirement in roughly 5 years has been fun. Hope you found the pig!
This is something I can do to keep my flexible schedule while taking care of a chronically I'll daughter and 2 sets of aging parents. I have been a casual reseller for 20 years but this year is the year to try and actually make enough to make a living along side my husband's income
We all find different ways to enrich our lives. So glad you found your way, Kevin!
🇺🇲🙏💕
Same Kevin! A little extra money, thrill of the hunt and I have a odd obsession with boxes and really all things shipping related 🤣
that is an odd obession. But I get it
From one former educator to another…👏👏👏👏
My motivation is to pay off my house, walk away from my job at 55, and never have to work for anyone else other than myself again.
You're speaking a lot of truth. I wish you the best!
💯 Great advice - (love the hat/shirt combo)❣️
Absolutely can't wait for you teaching
Thanks for your videos... I just love to watch all of them. I appreciate your knowledge and sharing it. I have been reselling since 2017. I am now expanding and learning from your videos. I retired early and this just supplements my lifestyle... Thanks again. We love your style....keep them coming....
I agree 100% with you. I'm in it for the money, but I couldn't do it if it didn't bring me joy. That's the reason I left my IT job. It wasn't bringing me any joy. Also the pay was miserable.
Really good video Kevin, it really hit home!
I wish the negative people that criticize what others buy to sell, would zip it. They are the crazy ones. If it sells, it makes sense to buy it. I love the thrill of the find. And my mother loves helping with it too. I love being able to bring in extra money to help my mom too.( I work full time) 😊
Great video! Thanks Kevin.
The biggest motivation for humans is FEAR. I ultimately do this because I am afraid of being hungry, I am afraid of being homeless, and most of all I am afraid of what will happen to me when I am old, all alone in this world, my body is broken and I physically can't work anymore. No vacations, no days off, no eating out, no going to the movies, just work work work and save like my life depends on it because it does.
I'm retired and I'm just trying to supplement my income, because if I live another 30 years, I could not make it on just SS alone. I do have some other money that I get interest on and a dividend stock, but no way could I live on ss and those. I also would like to have some money to leave to my kids, and I enjoy selling on Ebay immensely, you meet some really nice people! That is why I do it.
I think a lot of resellers create on youtube for the interaction. Aside from talking with people at the thrift, flea market, garage sale etc. reselling is a lonely endeavor. Cleaning and prepping items, photographing them, listing, it's a solo adventure.
Thank you all for sharing you have a blessed day in the name of Jesus Christ.
I guess I enjoy and am motivated by my chat. Maybe I'm a people pleaser but they make reselling fun and they are generous in return.
Kevin thanks for another great video today!!
You, casey and thrift school are and will always be the best most trustworthy youtubers
Thank you for all the information that you share. You are awesome :-)
I just want to be my own boss. Thats my motivation.I don't want to work for anybody ever again!!
We started because we wanted something to do together..we like to go to yard sales but really don't need anything and we have been living in our rv so we don't have room for anything..its fun to fine a gem and sell it to someone who need or want it..
STOP!!!!!
Anyone who takes the time out to produce a video of information or entertainment deserves to have compensation in any form that benefits them.
“ UA-cam University “ has been beneficial in expanding my knowledge.
So Joan, I thank people like Kevin who give their time and knowledge for so many of us and I hope he and his family will always prosper .
In Christian love, Kathy
Good stuff today. Thanks.
Enjoyed the video. Thanks
I well remember the Resale Rabbit April Fool's video, where he offered the Resale Rabbit Course and Guide. The whole point was that each reseller has his own personality and goals, and you can't learn to be like someone on UA-cam just by taking a course.
I'm a super small reseller and I was lucky to do something that I don't think any of the main youtubers have done. I found a sealed copy of Cars on VHS "this was my one small claim to fame" a few years ago. I'm lucky if I go to 2 or 3 sales a weekend. That's just what is best for me. At first I did try to copy what the people I watch on youtube did and I was like why? Started doing what I felt was best and couldn't be happier.
Thanks for this Kevin. I’m one of those retirees and have been following you for a few months. I like your relaxed style and the way you weave in some, sometimes tough subjects. I also follow some other UA-camrs, one of which I do subscribe to their Patreon. The other day I estimated what they are making a month based on Patreon membership, and it’s nearly (and maybe more) 90,000. a month. The knowledge base is extensive and I don’t resent it at all. But when I ran the numbers - it was a bit eye popping! 🤣
My goal is to supplement my social security and make an extra 1000. a month. 🙂
Awesome. You can do 1000 for sure.
In October, I will celebrate 25 years selling on eBay! I had stopped for a few years when I worked a corporate job 🤮 . Now I work a 9-5 job for the medical benefits and enjoy my eBay selling for the TREASURE HUNTING aspect of it. The research may be my favorite part, and of course, the income helps fund the hunt.
