Hopefully you didn't sell those shoes yet because at the time of making this video, Koby was alive. Now that he has passed away, those shoes probably tripled if not quadrupled in value

DRYSOL!!!! I swear you’ll be SO grateful that you gave it a try. It’s so good. It helps with odour and perspiration. You put it on at night and wash off in the morning. You don’t need to put on anything after that. It’s crazy how well it works!! I put it on 2 nights in a row then maybe once a week for 3 weeks then repeat. I can wear a sweater and sit in a sauna and I will NOT have sweaty pits. If you struggle I promise, promises, promise you’ll love this stuff. Only crappy thing is it makes my underarms itchy the nights I put it on. I have super sensitive skin so.... but I found if I shower, air dry and wait a couple hours before I put on then it’s not so bad. Cheers. Oh and you’re welcome ;)

[@sb9838]

Jenny Jen drysol is awesome! Just be careful with allergic reactions I got a bad rash on my hands from using it overnight.

Drisol is legit lol

I own a pair of the kobe 9 highs and your pair looks very legit, also there’s a very small market for high quality nike basketball shoes (not including retros or very limited color ways) Great video i definitely learned a lot!

I've given up on games from the GW. Ours went from 99 cents to $4.99 now and unless it's a really good game I won't bother unless it's 40-50% off day. In fact, I don't even bother to go now unless it's a discount day because they've gone crazy with their prices lately. And yes I do know that they are not there to serve resellers. Lol. But I'm not paying $5 or even 2.50 for a game that I can only get $10 or less for.

I just can't do it.. I have zero sense where it comes to to thrifting. I automatically go for the junk and ignore the profit. Guess I'll stick to wholesale.

[@mypureimagination]

I don't know if you will see this, but just a tip: don't sell used or possibly used car seats, it's actually illegal. You're not even supposed to use them for more than 1 child (crazy I know) They also have expiration dates printed on them now. Just FYI. I don't have kids, but have lots of nieces and nephews.

[@stephenferrante1836]

I love your shows. Regarding deodorant , the stuff that works best for me is bark from either a maple or birch tree. The main problem is the big sizes of bark that make my pits look weird. Also , keeping the bark stuck to my pits is a problem: superglue works best , but hey, it's superglue. It is much better than a staplegun or nail gun !!! Keep up the great work .

[@vivaladolcevita10]

Body odor is not just from hygiene. It's from diet too. You need green vegetables and water...among other things. If your diet is right...you don't need deodorant...unless you're working out or working outside.

[@loriemount121]

Try Certain Dry Roll on from Walmart. Normally on top shelf as specialty. It is uh-mazing it works for odor and perspiration.

[@mom-d-7793]

Yes I’m gonna say it Josh! Once you have a couple of kids!& a newborn 72 hours may not seem so far fetched! Just sayin

[@abc-hp1bf]

if you are not checking clothes closely, may i recommend at least walking through men's athletic wear aisle to look for basketball, hockey and soccer jerseys- can see them from far away without having to browse super closely. also would at least check for tie dye (grateful dead) in regular shirts.

SN: Deodorant.... you're a man but try women degree or spirit. LOL! You'd be surprised. I'd have to try Lume because nothing outside of whats in stores works well for me.

[@HairyTornado]

I've used my wife's deodorant before because she NEVER stinks. It's insane. It makes me smell like a woman for about 8 hours or so but then I smell just as bad as I normally do. I've probably tried 12 different mens deodorants (including some clinical strength stuff) and one womens brand. None of it has been able to keep up with Lume

[@patmills8926]

The doctor can prescribe stronger deodorant/ antiperspirant....but I would also try a licensed naturopathic MD. who has attended a federally approved medical college. We have had very good results about two serious medical issues. They spend a lot more time with you. Also, you can still go to your tradional primary care physician. Lastly, I vacation in Spain or Costa Rico or Bermuda every couple of years. I try to make an appt with the doctors there to run by them what is going on with my health. Sometimes they will add some practical advice or write a note to my primary back home. Outside of the US physicians spend more time with patients. There is a treatment for feet that ends up being almost a cure for foot odor. It involves soaking feet in water infused with3-4 tea bags every day for about days. The doctors in the military ,especially on shipboard would prescribe this( close quarters)! It seemed to work like a charm. Directions on Google or Doctor / dermatologist may have similar treatment for under arms. .

[@lf2334]

I respect taking on the sponsorship, but you're making videos about how to make money any way you can by reselling things. I'm guessing if a company that sold turds came to you, you'd take on the sponsorship if they were willing to throw you a little cash. With that being said, I'd sell the turd company's product too if they paid me. :)

Game plan lol? Go in thrift store, find stuff they don’t know the true value of, take it for pennies and sell if for extortionate money on eBay - where’s the plan?

[@HairyTornado]

It was more about the way I make my way through the store, section by section, rather than a simplistic explanation like the one you gave. Perhaps you didnt watch the whole video? Also, we cant sell anything for "extorsionate" prices because no one would buy them. I price my items at market value. You make your money at the buy, just like real estate. But there's no plan for that either. "JuSt bUY hoUsE's fOr CheAp aNd ScAm PEopLe InTo bUyIng TheM FOr exToRsIOnaTe pRiCeS"
