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!

[@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.

[@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!

[@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.

[@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!

[@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.

[@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.

[@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!

[@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.

[@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!

[@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

[@dudesbad2472]

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

[@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!!!

[@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

[@romanvmathew8825]

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

[@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!

[@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.

[@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.

[@Chasegotgame]

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

[@fromev682]

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

[@TheTrulove18]

finally somebody that keep it real

[@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

[@Epikreapr]

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

[@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..

[@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

[@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!

[@mattdavies422]

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

[@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.

[@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!

[@VASTmagitian22]

Im turning 17 in 3 months, and toward the end of last year i had already planned that this summer im gonna start buying good salvage cars form auctions that don't have much damage that i could flip the parts for good money on ebay. This whole time now I've been researching and planning what are are good cars to flip parts, the different online auction sites, where theses auction lots are in my state and best way to get the cars from the auction lot to my house. The cars im looking at to flip parts off of are Jaguar, Bmw, Audi, Mercedes, and cars like Saab that have a lot of discontinued and hard to find parts.

[@resilient4637]

Matt O well Matt a yr later n no Parts lol

[@foamyes]

omg! !! thanks for sharing your experiences man!

[@aricwilliamsdeveloper]

Thanks man! I'ma car guy too... What are some parts you think I should start flipping? Or where can I find out this information??

[@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.

[@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

[@TheSuaveBOSS]

lol this is literally what i've been doing for the past 3 months as a side hustle.

[@jmatao]

how is it worked out for you so far?

[@RelentlessCo]

TheSuaveBOSS yeah how has it worked

[@standardbp]

Apparently not good. He hasn't had internet in three weeks!

[@pookiedig]

standardbp lmao 😂

[@Yaboi713]

standardbp 💀

[@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

[@PeaceForAllPFA]

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

[@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! ✌🏼

[@HenryMusic255]

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

[@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.

[@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!

[@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.

[@nuestromundo5815]

Where do you source products? Great video bro

[@SamMauer7]

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

[@KacyDaGameNerd]

[@guillermoorozco467]

Thanks for the great video, I have a baby on the way but only working part time. Need your opinion on other car parts that sell well on ebay to make $ for medical expenses... thanks.

[@luigiramirez7716]

i miss my s2 :/ how would you know which parts are rare? in high demand. Or is this just something you know from just being a fan of the car industry?

[@tathanbailey6225]

Thanks for the information God Bless you Mike!

[@pamelacox5226]

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

[@carpenterx2]

I made 17k on poshmark last year selling designer purses and women's shoes that I find at thrift stores

[@CharlieBrown00769]

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!

[@licketysplick2164]

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.

What do you think the high cost of shipping going to do to ecommerce as a whole? Shipping prices continue to rise

[@jordanbaker1991]

THANK YOU FOR THE INSPIRATION MIKE!!!

[@Clownsatthecemetery]

I agree. i had this idea many months ago. I go to these junk yards and get parts for my own driving...But yes...ive thought certain items would bring good cash... Not every area has a pick a part. or a pull a part..most do not.. i know a junk yard where they pull it for you. the old fashion junk yards and they tried to charge me 45 bucks for the same part i pulled off myself for 7 bucks....

[@dannyDj67]

cant do junk yards in nyc with ebay. junk yards in nyc charge very near retail. i am power seller on 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

[@strawberry0kiwi]

I feel like this is such a good prep talk

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

[@arsenalx626x6]

Dude Great video much respect 👍🏼

[@klewis2204]

I'm curious as to what you are selling now that turns a better profit for you not to do this anymore. I can say if I was making 19.3k a month I wouldn't stop what I was doing. I myself am a full time re seller and for a solo person those numbers are very high.

[@firstroundsonme472]

I just started selling. Made a little off the Nintendo Switch. Id love to start selling more but to be honest im always worried about scammers

[@diymike]

i would start off by selling things between 10-20 dollars. it will build up your confidence and grow your feedback. from then i would slowly increase the cost of items i would sell. Scammers are real but the amount of people who aren't out number them by far. Good Luck!

[@ghettogardner4067]

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

[@forsalecarvideos6147]

I was just told of a local guy who is being sued by a major auto manufacturer for reselling their brand logo accessories on eBay over licensing violations. Apparently he was able to get thousands of the auto brand's logo items but they are alleged as Chinese knock-offs that the company wasn't paid for the use of their logo. This company pays an outside law firm just to review the internet sales and sue people violating their trademarks. So it seems one needs to know what they are selling if it is is legal.

$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

[@VondaInWonderland]

Did you have to pay taxes when you sold your stuff? If you already had them then you had paid for them but probably don't have the receipt anymore ♥

Very inspirational video.

[@josevillegas9618]

nice video see you drive a s2000 nice ride what other parts would you reommend to sell ?

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.

its about the whole story!

[@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.

[@willclifton5379]

When you watch this video and half way through you get a message from someone who is going to buy your overly priced product lol
