I read the comment you referred to in this video and your reply. I was so impressed with how you answered that comment. You handled it with so much class. I was blown away. I was talking about it with friends and family who have no idea who you are. I just felt like you needed to hear this. You really are a wonderful person and I find alot of value in your videos.

Thank you for sharing not only your reselling journey but also your life experience with us. So far you have provided the best tip for packing fragile items.

I recently deleted my entire store (772) listings too! Took a minimum 6 week “maternity leave,” and eBay’s time away mode only allows 30 days. Luckily listings stay in unsold for 90 days, so I had time to review/edit & relist them at 25 per day. Things are selling that I thought would never sell- I’m only 1.5 yrs into reselling & made some interesting purchases in the beginning lol!

THANK YOU RACHEL! You inspired me to sort my listing to high dollar first, change the prices on 10 lising and adjust the Item Specifics based on your previous video. Then I ended those 10 and did SELL SIMILAR with them. Within hours one of those items sold for $150, basically pure profit since the rest of that lot paid for it long ago. My asking price was $224.99 and I took a lower offer. I love flexibility in pricing.

[@RachelStrickland]

Love that! We all need to revisit those items we know we priced high. What a good reminder

Girl, you are right on point. I wash my hair at max once a week and I don’t use dry shampoo. I have curly hair and it’s very dry. The more I wash it, the drier it gets, and then it starts breaking.

Yes, I like pepper on cottage cheese too. But a trick I learned from the nutrition office for my sweet tooth, Add a package of sugar free pudding mix, cheesecake flavor, to a container of cottage cheese, 16 oz.

[@DaveEllis.]

I'll second that. Women will neeevvv-eerrrr understand how good they look naturally. But if any are wondering, I was thinking how youthful she looked and the natural nails were so opposite all this influencer trend, and then the makeup. Still pretty, but natural is severely underrated. 💐

Dental professional of 30+ years. Dental laughing gas, nitrous can cause things such as headaches and nausea when you are connected and receiving it. When your procedure is coming to completion they give you pure oxygen to flush the nitrous from your system. So zero lasting effects. Hence the reason they allowed you to drive with your son. Iv sedation requires an adult chaperone to come with you and drive you home.

The kitty is adorable. I know it appreciates your caring for them. I didn't see a tipped ear. It may be there and I couldn't see it. If not, it hasn't been spayed/neutered.

[@Johnny_Ultimate]

I appreciate the authenticity of your videos. I hope your books do well. Regarding deleting your store and re-uploading. I JUST did this! I deleted nearly 2000 video games and I'm re-uploading between 5 and 20 games every day. Pros: New pics with a newer phone, better light box and better listing title and description. Also, My prices were outdated, on a lot of my older listings and I just knew I was never going to deal with it. This has forced me to be completely updated. The increase in my sales is profound and because I'm listing regularly, everyday, once 30 days is passed, all those listings will renew on a predictable schedule. Total win-win. ps. I like walking and I one time I heard a tip to try walking backwards, especially up hills. I definitely get some looks...BUT it's super good for my back and for my balance.

Ummm Rachel no you are supposed to come prepared with a driver when under that. I had my son drive me there and wait until I was done to drive me home. That is your dentist's office fault, someone did not inform you. They told me on the phone during appt. They reminded me again I needed to have a driver day of, they asked when I arrived if I had a driver or they could not give me the gas. No it does not wear off in minutes...who told you that?

[@RachelStrickland]

The entire internet and even some people in the comments say it wears off immediately. Mine did not. I even asked them if I was okay to drive after bc i had my son with me and they all said yes. 🙃 I assure you, i did not feel normal. Next time, I'll bring a driver if that ever needs to happen again. Maybe it was bc I didn't eat?

[@sumthingelsesumthingelse6811]

@@RachelStrickland Hmm, could it be "different" types of gas? I had a tooth pulled...so maybe my "amount" was more? But I was glad my son was driving. Maybe it WAS because you didn't eat enough before? Question for your dentist. For one, I never had a tooth pulled since my wisdom teeth were pulled when I was 17. I don't remember any thing about that time except the dentist perscribed pain pills for me and it was the day or two after my mom passed unexpectedly...so I was in total shock and numb. And I used the pain pills for my mouth and my grief. To this day, and it was 4 decades ago I still mourn her. I feel she was the love of my life. I knew it then, I still know it now even after marriage 20 years, children, boyfriends (after divorce). Its curious that you say internet says it wears off, when my doctors office was so adamant that I get driven. Thanks for reply...PS I'm so glad you got home safely after your visit.

I also had some old school dentist that just numbed me up.. It doesn't surprise me It would have some side effects while leaving your system. It can be strong stuff.
