Good for you. Wow, I wish everyone could have your mindset. Btw, I’m subbed to your channel and I’m amazed that you do way more sales than me with me having a foot ahead of you if you know what I mean. 😉. Sorry. Don’t block me please. I love your videos and have a sick sense of humor. 😂

DANG WHAT A DAY!! Thanks for the shoutout Josh it really means a lot! Totally wasn't expecting to buy Pokémon game out of a trunk today haha. Maybe one day we can go game hunting together 👀

[@secondhandfashion]

If anyone can do it, it’s Dave. He’s great, definitely one of the most entertaining resellers on here. His Tesla video still goes down in history as one of the funniest videos I’ve watched on KZbin. 😂 He’s great and I wish him lots of success, he deserves it!!

[@stacysheppard7973]

I am also working towards building my reselling business to allow me to retire from my 6 figure healthcare career of 30+ years. You, CLL, Hustle at Home Mom and Homeschooling Picker have taught me so much!! Thank you for always sharing the good and the bad...one of these days I will make it to Flip Con.

[@johnnycarter2283]

but the only problem is that reselling isnt guaranteed it means you have to find stuff everyday to resell like for example i went to 3 goodwills yesterday and did not find 1 single thing to resell. so how would u be able to pay your bills if u have alot of days where u cant even find stuff to resell?

[@sftnslkyable]

​@johnnycarter2283 you keep looking...I literally drive 3 hours each direction twice a week to go sourcing...I go to Estate Sales 2 days a week and Garage sales on Saturdays. I do online auctions and scour Facebook Marketplace and Craig's list. There are SOOOOO many opportunities out there for everyone. ❤ Don't give up, you got this 💯

[@jayp9316]

Why didn't Dave do a video like this? If he can make up that 100K doing what he does, then God Bless him! Kevin's comment is funny!

Josh!! Thank you so much for this video that included Dave’s decision to go full time self employed! You, lady tornado and the Trash 2 Cash Crew Are in my top 5 list I watch daily and it’s great to see you and Hailey’s success and also give aa shout out to other KZbinr’s Serge from Canada 🇨🇦

[@elifern2642]

My husband and i just went full time not to long ago. Health issues and physical injuries caused us to work towards this goal for 2 years. Apart, from wanting to be our own boss, we also didn't want to wait until the retirement age to be free for corporate america, we wanted the freedom to enjoy our lives now. We used to work 10-13 hrs a day each, made good money, but at the expense of our marriage and family. We are thankful, we made this decision as everyday is a wonderful adventure that we experience together.

I need to be available for him. I am just starting out but I have no choice so I am hoping that this will push me along. Staying positive. Thx for your great videos!

Also who cares if he doesn’t make as much , I’m glad he is pursuing something he loves and enjoys! I’m sure he was saving a good amount of money making 6 figures. On top of that he has already been doing all the reselling stuff making another flow of income. I think this was a move for mental/family needs! Shoot now he can spend time at home and around family and enjoy it.

The goal for many has changed from big house, expensive car to having more time and being your own boss. I never had 6 fig job, but worked in higher ed for decades. Quit to take care of my combat wounded vet husband. Took up reselling for extra cash and I could work it around doc visits, therapy etc. Last year I grossed more with ebay than I ever made working ft. It's a blessing.

[@jananneshipley3687]

Thank you for the great content. And thanks for taking the time to do a video every day while Hayley is away. Really enjoying it. I have to say though, as much as I love you and Hayley, Mose is clearly the star of the show here. I just love him so very much. Makes me want a golden. He's got the best disposition of any one I've seen. Goldens in general are great dogs but, he is top notch. And his sound effects when he responds to you just make my day.

Great break down Josh ❤you rock great friend to have. I love Dave.

[@benthomas6828]

Props for being so transparent about the revenue of social media. The reality is (I don’t mean to sound spiteful saying this) all the bigger channels on here are really just “content creators” and not “resellers” as it pertains to income. I could never buy most the stuff you buy because it’s all in a flooded market. But you are able because you have built such a following and you have to buy something just so you have more videos to upload and make money off of us clicking on them.

[@onceyouwheeinyoucantwheeout]

Wish him luck! He seems to know what he’s doing and I’m sure his audience will grow much bigger now that he’s focused on KZbin and his reselling business

[@jacobhoskins1212]

Love it. I'm not going to become a full time reseller but what I've noticed is that you have to understand what you're doing like you said. You can easily get into a tough spot by buying stuff that may have slight value but sells so slow. All the small purchases could easily add up and then you're stuck with a bunch of slow selling "junk".

[@janett.3383]

I agree with your assessment of Dave. He is just beginning and I think he will be very successful. Thanks for another great video and content.

[@Amylee_ct]

Great video - I had no idea he would be bringing in that much from such a "small" youtube channel. Add in his salary to these numbers and he was really rolling in the dough for the past couple years. So he is essentially going from 200k plus down to 100k, which may hurt in the short term. Hopefully he can continue to grow, but if not, I'm sure he can find another similar job to get again. Also COG wasn't really added to this video. Growing in reselling means growing your spending as well. Gota spend money to make money!! Awesome video!

[@HairyTornado]

People really underestimate how much you can make with a small channel.

[@kittyjensen5156]

[@gordjohn2322]

Another great video from you, but then they are all that way. It never ceases to amaze me the number of plushes you sell and the amount of money you get for them. Say 'HI' to Mose. He makes (and steals) the show just by putting in an appearance. Can't help but love that dog. :) :)

[@MrPaulMorris]

A nice breakdown of likely income for Dave. It's good to remember that income is more than just eBay! There are many streams that can complement reselling. Last time I was reselling full time, I also did one to one tuition in IT and workshop skills--my background as a commercial trainer and radio/systems engineer helped out there--and having 4 or 5 hours a week doing something different helped to keep me from going crazy with eBay as it changed every day (back in the 'wild west' days 20+ years ago). Later on I went into disk-based training courses--my best selling product back then was a study package for the UK Citizenship Test that shipped by the sack load! Now, as I look forward to going back to full time-just as soon as my current employers pull the plug on their dying business--I have a little less pressure as I already draw a number of pensions from previous careers. One point to remember when moving from part time to full time, which wasn't mentioned in the video, is that you don't just need to match your previous salaried income but also whatever you were earning from your reselling. For example, if you were earning $100k gross from employment and $25k from the side hustle, you need to grow the reselling income to $125k, not $100k, to have the same gross income. There are, of course, complications in adjusting for benefits (at least here in the UK we don't need to worry about health insurance!) but the basic idea stands and is often overlooked by those looking to go full time.
