Like 70% plus of people with college degrees are not working in the profession they went to school for ten years later. College is usually a big rip off. Just subbed. Love your channel.

[@asdjfnljn3]

It's because people choose liberal arts majors not science, engineering or even business.

[@eastpawz7986]

there are people who went to school to work in finance and banking ( to work with rich clients ) and are working with mental health patients o.O stuff that do not take a college degree to help someone shop and clean their ass o.O

[@mohammadalikarimi8055]

Sam Dallas I can nearly promise you that a reason your not getting hired or applying for, is something else your overlooking and has not to do with your lack of degree... Getting paid 6 figures without a degree is a matter of self drive, self improvement, and being able to properly identify and pursue opportunities. Having or not having a degree does not make you less of a person compared to someone with a degree. a problem is alot of people without degrees disqualify themselves before even shaking hands. if you feel like you cant get a job or are qualified/worthy for a certain position or salary figure, odds are you cant get it even with the degree. you have got to believe in yourself. nothing is hold you back in life but yourself.

[@rickyr7790]

AND people that built a business also understand the self confidence, determination, work ethic, and maturity involved in getting a degree. Therefore thats what they hire, and is common as a requirement.

[@HectorOCaro]

+EastPAWZIt's easy to understand your point you are making here since truthfully, that is a fairly intuitive assumption to make if you don't work in the mental health field. However, you're unknowingly trying to compare apples to oranges. The employment position you reference to just "clean their ass" does not require a college degree. Someone who is going to school to clinically work as a social worker, Psych Tech, Licensed Mental Health Counselor, Psychologist, etc.. does require a degree due to the direct impact and influence your actions can cause to patience. When you are in these positions.. the choices, reactions, advice you provide to a patience can very easily have adverse consequences. When someone ends up in a state hospital, that means they have surpassed the standard "admitted to the psych floor due to baker act". You deal with people who are extremely ill, and the mind is an extremely powerful/influential tool. Mental illness can be a very strong force upon a person, which can cause a very extreme act to be carried out (Suicide, Manslaughter, Throwing Feces, Hallucinations, Extreme paranoia, the list can go on and on and on... Hopefully, this helps you gain a bit more insight in the mental health field. What you described in your comment is what's portrayed in a comedy movie... Once your face to face with a super sick mentally ill person that looks at you right in the eye and talks to you with complete confusion and delusions, you will be exposed to the reality of how scary and crazy working in the field can become. It's nothing someone does for money, mental health workers say they seem to be a bit crazy themselves to work with people like that. The value isn't money, it's helping others. Two forms of currency to two different people.

[@David.D3]

I've watched this video over and over at least 5 times. Just watched it again and got motivated to start up my ebay again. Thank you for sharing!

[@2JZdatsun]

Very cool Mike! For those car guys out there that struggle with finding extra money for your builds...listen to this man! You gotta hustle and work HARDER than you did yesterday. Thanks for putting this out there Mike!

[@Kollin011]

This guy understands the essence of strategy. He makes use of his terrain and manuevres himself for maximum gain. I also like how he is looking for maximum profit instead of nickles and dimes.

[@bluecollarbabe22]

Thank you for sharing your story, with both the upsides and downsides. I appreciate your honesty and hearing you bust your ass to be the success you are today. Keep making videos, I love them!

[@junito1008]

Still waiting for the part where you explain how you sold $58k in ebay !? 🤔

[@mikeg8457]

Junito Punto Comm I knew I wasn't going deaf... I watched this twice thought maybe I fell asleep during all the pointless babbling.. he never says how he made he 50,000+ in 3 months I think I smell bullshit and old crx sunroofs 🤔

[@junito1008]

Mike G Me too man !! 🤦🏻‍♂️😂😂

[@dracojensei1141]

Junito Punto Comm I he said he was hustling and grinding

[@resilient4637]

He's all Prep n no H

[@taoyeahright]

don't help them.

[@Ty_Blunt]

Love this video man. After I left college, I began reselling as part of the Gary Vee #flipchallenge and now I have grown it into my full-time job with my own warehouse! Keep it up!

[@jdemo7167]

You sir are the definition of humility. I bet your mother is very proud of you. I know I am. Thank you and all the best.

[@danielSharpthatswhyt]

Soon as u said u would buy somthing in demand i really started to listen and hit that like button. I appreciate u man.

[@dudesbad2472]

I like how your also hustling on KZbin with videos like this. Monetization baby. Your a hustling G to the core brother.

[@greeklord293]

Well remember if he sold $58,000 of stuff he also invested on the stuff he sold so it's not all profits but better than working a 9-5 job, much props to this dude.

[@kchinn8364]

Wowww. Where the hell have u been dude! lol I just started ebay about a month ago. learning about dropshipping now. It's great that you do ebay AND cars. I stumbled upon this vid while watching H22 Cb7 Accord races. lol Good stuff bro. Keep it up. Subbed

[@romanvmathew8825]

Hey just wanna say keep doing what ur doing man!! If it's working then it's money!:)

[@austinolson772]

Dude great video. Just stumbled across you tonight, you are a bad ass my friend! Thanks for taking the time to create and share this video.

[@fromev682]

Dude I have been stuck on your videos for a couple hours now, dope thank you for showing your process

[@Troy_Audi0]

Mike's Garage was awesome with motors stacked boxes stuffed, room looks like a Mail room, guy hustles like mad! I am glad I could help for sure. Keep it up bro..

[@98dc2gsr575]

love the advice man! I've been an eBay member for over 11 years and have always wanted to sell but never had the courage. I do quite well locally on craigslist and other outlets but eBay would be phenomenal.

[@boxing76ful]

98dc2gsr575 which other outlets

[@zeemoua5334]

98dc2gsr575 nice dc2. I have a gsr ej1 turbo

[@Smashedkinkajou]

Why not eBay? It's simple if you just get over the first few items sold and gain some confidence!

[@Epikreapr]

Great video,Vegas is hard bro but look at you now!

[@MRelemint]

I sold those $5 one chip challenge chips for $50 each on eBay and made $1,200 profit. It can be done if you look for something that’s trending and can be flipped in the window of its popularity.

[@patjaweezy]

Love it. Just subscribed. Thought it was gonna be another cocky dude talking about nonsense BS, but this had some realness and some sincere info! Keep it up.

[@DAZEOFFICIAL]

Dang thats crazy, I am in the same boat as of right now. Jobs are hard to find, just recently go heavily involved with Ebay. I respect your story bro, keep doing you!

[@SamMauer7]

lol I just subbed becuase you said Automotive and thats right up my alley.

[@pamelacox5226]

I'm a new Ebay'er and I'm loving your videos!

[@PeaceForAllPFA]

got dam, a 2 minute ad without skip , hope the videos worth it

[@understandthepeaches1025]

Great work ethic! Good for you! Someone that didn't sign up for government money or use bankruptcy but pulled themselves up by the boot straps and worked until they made it. Great job!

[@mattdavies422]

power to you brother, well done. theres nothing better than being independent.....nothing

[@letslearn7899]

hey whats up. diymike i do the same thing right now where i work i get things that are like 2 dollars and i sell them for way cheaper even the price i sell it for is cheaper then the original i started after watching your youtube video. thank you man

[@Chasegotgame]

Yo Mike, love your videos dude. I learn a tone of info from you. Dope shit!!

[@janieromo1046]

i see you got emotional explaining how and why you started selling on ebay. being there. i love to hear stories like yours because some of us have had to sell everything in their home ..and make money to survive. thank you for the story.

[@lorgasmonakamoto236]

Subbed!! Bro this is insane... I literally just started doing this! I’m literally restoring some HID headlights I snagged. I’m so glad I saw this video, I needed the affirmation! ✌🏼

[@foamyes]

holly crap. the stuff you talked about is exactly what i thought. in vancouver it's called pick and pull. you spend 2-5 bucks to enter the junkyard and the use your own tools to take out the parts you want, the pick and pull charges 30%-50% of original prices so I gave it up.that pick and pull place shut down because i heard some stolen cars end up there. lol

[@ShaunDYST]

I'm sure you know but it looks like one of the straps that pulls the bar back on your soft top is broken. It doesn't look all the way down in the back but you can tap the bar as the tops folding to make sure it fully goes down. Either way I love my 07 S2k hold onto yours they seem to be getting more expensive and I am from Vegas also! I used to work at GSR distribution right off Sunset rd selling Eneos oil and car parts, but I sure don't miss the heat!!!

[@HenryMusic255]

Your story is really encouraging, great video! life happens but you made it & so many of us can build that way as well

[@TheTrulove18]

finally somebody that keep it real

[@donnavaughn9409]

awesome. I learned the way to sell on my own, here in slc utah we have lots of good thrift stores, 2 yrs ago, people started keeping vintage pottery and setting up their own stores online, then I went to clothes, hadn't though of Pik and Park, it's true, smart people are reinventing themselves selling

[@coltonsalmons7321]

I have totally done this to make a little money in my downtime. I own my own business doing freelance work and I have times that my business is dead. I have bought things like cell phones and ipods from local people that were hard up for cash. Low ball them and flip it on ebay to a bigger market. I made a little money and it was kind of fun but dealing with local flaky people gets old and ebay fees are crazy now compared to 2003 or so when I started on ebay.

[@KacyDaGameNerd]

New subscriber. I just watched several videos. Thanks for the tips. I'm trying to grow my ebay store (video games), so your insights were very helpful.

[@FG-lq4pz]

I constantly scan eBay listings for vintage mobile phones. The phones that you can still activate and rare phones (for collectors) are what I like to flip. The market has been declining due to the fact that 2G GSM networks are currently planning for obsoletion (T-Mobile is the only major player left with a 2G GSM network in the US. Motorola StarTacs are popular especially the GSM 1900 StarTac 7000G & 8000G models are going for the most. I recently bought a lot of "vintage random phones and car accesories" for $25 on eBay. One of the phones in the lot was a 7000G. Sold it for $200 within the first 6 hours of it being listed. Anything Apple also always sells... Can not figure out how my MacBook Pro from 2009 that was in rough shape yet running sold for $300.... Bose products also retain their resale value pretty well. Buy anything bose!

[@marketingmastery7594]

Hey Mike, I'm in Vegas too. Hope you're enjoying this fine heat we're having, lol.

[@foamyes]

omg! !! thanks for sharing your experiences man!

[@pistolpete4736]

Great Story! I bet at this point your happy no one called you back to give you a JOB! ;) Way to hustle bro!

[@licketysplick2164]

mad props on trying to make revenue to pay off loans, don't be like those who leave the debt for others to pay off.

[@quetzcoatl4175]

man thank you bro i live near the pick ur part and I love learnig about new things to flip bro! I siriusly appreciate it!

[@dabemoji2839]

Yea, I'm 19 and I've been doing it for bmw e46 , e36 , e60, e90 e39 parts for like 2 years

[@dabemoji2839]

Not crazy money but a really good profit margin for teenagers. Especially if you want to learn about how the car is built you can really learn a lot at junk yards

[@jg9864]

Lol I do the exact same thing.. who knew there were so many people doing it.. with the same cars. We're probably seeing a lot of eachothers auctions when comparing prices

[@catluver0327]

I have a few e90 parts lol

[@cheryli2317]

Dude I tried drop shipping airbrush kits and camping tents and I didn't sell SQUAT. I tried selling my own homemade handcrafted products and sold NOTHING. It simply doesn't work for everyone. Tell me what I'm supposed to do?

[@evyz1962]

Thank you for being sooo inspirational!!! My mentor man!!!

[@qa7443]

Thanks for the idea bro, Much success!

[@strawberry0kiwi]

I feel like this is such a good prep talk

[@nangidkram8652]

Side hustle mindset - love it!

[@ujutin11]

This video got my sub and respek. A real way to make money especially for a hardworker/automotive head

[@garyfreeman2245]

Hey, Man. When you posted your possessions on eBay, did you set it up as an auction item or a 'Buy Now" option??? Thanks, Gary

[@angelicafarrar]

I'm in Vegas too. I don't think I could do the pick apart deal, but I'm hoping to strike up good business on eBay with selling clothes to begin.

[@arsenalx626x6]

Dude Great video much respect 👍🏼

[@silverado708]

I got going on a booth space in an antique store/mall two month ago any way I found when I get wildlife collector plates, beer cans from the 70's and older to cartoon related items I can sell them for good money. I buy from auction houses to thrift stores to resell in my booth and for what I have into product and what I'm selling it for blows my mind. that's my deep thoughts for today.

[@marmelow7923]

This is my first month on eBay and I I’ve made over a 1000 in net profit I don’t think it would be possible to make 58,000 in the first 3 months lol

[@kathyramos2924]

I'm so proud of him!

[@RogueReplicant]

Thanks for the tips. I will definitely start flipping items on eBay as a side income!

[@sruiz8816]

This is really motivating bro

[@hammysandmich5252]

How I made a couple of hundred dollars clickbaiting people that think you can make 58,000 in three months from eBay

[@ElGatoLoco698]

Pretty sad when your books cost more than the tuition.

[@margofrank7918]

Here's a super quick way to make over 100 dollars each day online: BreakCash.info

[@MrGraton1]

the best website that help people to make money with ebay and amazon is *MyOnlineSelling. Com* .... hope it will help.

BRAVO BROTHER......SIMPLE AND INCREDIBLY MOTIVATIONAL!!!!👏

[@jordanbaker1991]

THANK YOU FOR THE INSPIRATION MIKE!!!

[@ahmedahmedi4090]

great info brother...best wishes and good luck..cheers

[@802Garage]

I've often thought I'd doing just that with U-Pull-It or Pick-N-Pull, but there are none in VT or New England at all really. :(

[@rmac5584]

how do you receive your payments from customers? And how'd you set it up?

[@musashi-san____1409]

I used to do that. I remember selling Toyota parts for like 10x what I payed for. You wouldn't believe what other things you can flip from a car. You can even do FBA with some stuff. LOL He's right about it being very time consuming, and very hands on. Pretty sure junkyards have caught on, and also resell on Ebay though. I doubt that hustle is as profitable as it was 15 years ago.

[@millcityblaze1978]

yo what do you do or how do your taxes come into play with ebay

[@iconaclastor]

Recently my old 96' Honda accord needed another distributor. New one was $270 , lowest price locally, could not find it at my local junk yards so yeah some parts are worth reselling if you find them

[@xorbodude]

Love your S2k! Miss mine!

$80k in student loans and you can't get a job? The fuck did you go to college for bro?

[@pookiedig]

alot of college students dont get jobs right away especially what they studied

[@tududecarfreako]

My biggest pet peeve is when people ramble with useless information for half the video... It took you almost 4 minutes to get to the point.

[@JohnnyTsunami_]

its about the whole story!

[@andrewgoodenough2393]

then don't watch the video...figure it out yourself

[@spasticgamer9416]

Anonymous first 60 days? 3 months is 90 days so maybe he did it in those next thirty?

[@stacya5620]

Guys I make my living with eBay and amazon with the help of *MyOnlineSelling .Com* Recommended to all who wants to make big money with eBay and amazon….

[@millcityblaze1978]

This guy above me is correct, you have a limit on ebay and they will not raise it unless you call them up and request it, and they ask you questions, also you are limited to 100 sales a month as a new seller. UNLESS he opened a store, in that case he could do whatever.

[@vision1707]

You are a good man sir. Thank you for all your tips.

[@ItsJustJoeTV]

Allright great Video. Question years ago inhad an ebay acount withnlike over 5 thousand idividual sales. but thatnacount closed so i started all over again... whatnosnthe fastest way to reach unlimited listings or atleast ALOT of them? thanks

Hello, I am from Vietnam, so I don not understand much about the business laws in America. I am wondered that we do need a business license at the beginning to run a business on eBay or do not. Please let me know, I would like to know it

[@quetzcoatl4175]

Would b great if you can give us a list of the best parts to look gor with the best profit margins

[@Charlie_Brown_009]

I smell bs.

[@gretabrown3015]

Dennis Diaz are you selling on Poshmark and has your sells increased? I sell on Mercari and my sells are nowhere near 17k but I just started in Nov 2017

[@IamMagsB]

Im also a seller in Poshmark but im not happy with their 20% kickback and ridiculous shipping charge to customers.

[@rickb9118]

That's great! Just started a year ago. So far a little over $6K. I've got A TON of inventory. Sales are slower now, but I think it's Poshmark being inundated due to their advertisements. What's your handle? Check me out citycloseoutllc. Best of luck!
