THEY RESPONDED!!... AND REALLY MADE ME THINK!!

[@MasterofPieces]

The comments made my think about a few points and tested how I approach things. I think that's healthy and something worth exploring. The whole purpose of my reselling/youtube is something I often question. It was clear before... I could spend more time with my kids. Now that has changed, why do it... would it be better to up my full time job hours? - I could always take annual/unpaid leave over the school holidays on wednesdays to spend the same time with the kids. Its something I'll continually question but for now just being an enjoyable hobby is enough

[@hawkinsemporium]

Well done Ian very well said, im similar I could go back to full time job being miserable having a boss breathing down my neck etc. I wouldn't change it for the world, im happy, mental health better than ever, Im doing some thing I love & most importantly im present at home for my children & wife. Old job I was always working late & missing all types of things, made me miserable. Life is about being happy & spending time with your loved ones, this job ticks all those boxes for me.

[@megajaseuk]

Don't take comments to heart mate, its your life and how you choose to spend it is up to you. I could probably make more money working for someone else but then I already work full time. My business is my business, I don't answer to anyone but myself, I choose the hours and involve spending time with my family. Basically its not a business but a hobby that makes money. A hobby is done in leisure time for pleasure, don't let anyone steal your dream.

[@chrisgardiner4998]

This is it! Life isn’t all about money.

[@marktrickett5081]

I am also a part time reseller. My two work colleagues do regular weekend overtime and I don't. I earn slightly more than they do. But I have more fun (and get lots of cool stuff ) whereas they have a 6th day of work. I am much less likely to burn out than they are, just due to the variety that reselling offers.

How could anyone be horrible to you! Seem such a nice genuine guy

[@yessanknow302]

He killed a dog with his bare hands.

[@gonnaw1n]

I think this guy with his great viewpoints....is missing the biggest loophole in his arguments...You are doing it part time along with your normal daily job, so unlike other KZbinrs who are full time, you aren't pushing the same type of message. The fact he has tried to work out earnings like you are doing this full time is missing the whole HOBBY part of it. Pretty enjoyable listening to you break down his response, maybe you will get another articulate reply haha.

[@kiddcapri1711]

I agree with you, the guy has some great points. Unfortunately he has his numbers wrong and doesn't see the bigger picture. While his daughter is earning £13 an hour at Lidl, that's less time he has with her (something money can't buy). She also is told the hours she can work, where as you can pick it choose them and on top of that you have no boss to answer to. Then finds like that watch push your money over £9 an hour. Some people can't see outside the box for being too narrow minded or institutionalized. It's great that you answered him, you could have just left a comment under his post tho... "Thanks for the comment noted".

[@jasonwortans6421]

Im not a subscriber but have followed you for the last year or so....my opinion is simple..your a likeable dude..your kids are sound..and the bond you have on your sourcing trips with your boys are a simple father and son having quality time and a laugh...don't explain to jealous people butting in on how you choose to raise money...some people may have good points but your choosing your lifestyle..enjoying your boys and keep them smiling...

[@shipsandsharks]

I've had a part time job in a supermarket. It's pretty soul crushing and you have to turn up when they're expecting you. The guy masks one or two good points behind a sneering and unkind attitude. Would ignore from this point. Ian, you always improve my day with your videos.

[@TheBeardedFlipper]

Very admirable response once again! Another factor is sitting on a chair for 8 hours a day vs getting in the steps, walking around shops and car boots has obvious health benefits to it as well! Plus the memory time, the excitement the kids get 'cos they see how excited you are is something that money can't buy at all. Also that first ad placement was magical 😁 I'm only just starting out on my journey and this video has made me want to keep at it and do more!

[@Planet_Passey]

You summarised it perfectly in just those final 5 seconds. This is a hobby for you (and I), it's a fun thing to do and allows you to spend quality time with your family. The fact it can bring in a bit of additional income is just the cherry on top.

[@hanphotography]

Hey Ian, I am sure you already know this, you don't need to explain yourself to anyone - but it does make for a good video ;) I've been watching and learning from you for about 3 years. You've helped me do a better job, along with the usual You Tubers, of getting rid of some of the mountain of hoarded stuff I have in my garage and around my house. One thing your commentor seems to miss is that it's fun, you can't over-estimate the value of something that is fun to do. I for one spend hours trying to fix old electronic stuff for myself and other people. It doesn't make me money, but it is fun - that's the point. Anyway, keep up the good work :)

[@christinemottley546]

Fantastic content from an even better person. Your kids are truly lucky to have you as their dad. I always look forward to your videos when I hop on KZbin, they're not just entertaining, but also incredibly insightful. I've learned so much, and thanks to your tips, I've even managed to make a nice bit of extra cash in my spare time. Keep it up!

[@KarlUKmidlands]

Some people don't get that its not just about the money, not everyone wants to deal with customers face to face, have a boss, have set times to start and finish, as a reseller you can set your own times, have any time/days off you want, and earn as mutch as you want to put the effort in, you can't do with an hourly wage no matter how hard you work you get the same wage and also its more enjoyable doing something you like rather than a monotonous job where you are learning only 1 thing - keep doing what makes you happy, love the video's keep up the quality content

[@dawngwilliam7562]

Perfect - your last few moments explains simply why you are doing what you are doing. The money is a bonus really for doing something that you enjoy and spend time with the boys - that's the magic !!

Hi there! I am loving selling and reselling. My English verbal artillery has increased so much. The jargon used to describe items is new to me, for example: " This jacket has faux fur trim around the hood" 😅😅😅 Plus, when I drop items I sold, I walk along a beautiful path, this way it allows me to tick my Winter Wellness Walk too.I have been in another business for over 20 years. The returns were minimal, but I carried on 🎉 This new venture which I like it is opening my eyes to other wider possibilities which I wouldn't contemplate should I be working somewhere else. I have been autonomous most of my life. We shall no get distracted by others who don't agree with our choices. Good video 🎉

I quite like Warhammer, I recently found some old models from my childhood for literally pennies that sell for decent £££ on eBay, now I could have just worked my day off and bought them all but it's not the same , it's about the hunt!!

Absolutely - love your honesty - as a re-seller myself, I can truly say that being HAPPY with the way I earn is 100% better that earing for the sake of it -- maybe because I am older and I have worked 60/70 hour weeks, and have seen life from both sides.

Tell the person to do one, I ha e been watching you for 18 months and it has helped me out ALOT buying and selling, I to do it for a hobbie and find it really interesting finding different items that other people don't want anymore. Plus I have a full time job and I really don't fancy working in Lidl or another company just to make some extra cash. I go out to charity shops when I want to rather than be stuck to certain hours and not enjoy the job. Reselling is interesting and gives me a buzz when I find that item that reminds me of my youth rather than stacking shelves. Plus you are still at home and you spend time with your family which really matters and the look on your kids face when he finds that gem is PRICELESS. Keep up the good work and ignore the stupid comments by this very jealous person. ❤

And you got to go on the hunt for potential treasure, enjoying the thrill of walking into a charity shop or a car boot and walking out with a banger!! and you make enough cash to cover your costs.

Fantastic video & response. A lot of what you said really hit home with me! As a full-time reseller i often come across people that don't really understand what I do, why I do it or if it's even financially viable & sometimes I even question this myself. Then I remember why I got into this. I think for a lot of us, reselling is a lifestyle choice as well as a job. It started off as a hobby & I loved it so much I built myself up to a point that I could do it full-time. I love the freedom, I love being my own boss, I love the treasure hunt & I don't care how many hours it takes me to earn a living. It's a passion & I'm driven to get up everyday & do it which gives me purpose & makes me a happier person. Could I earn slightly more with a normal 9-5 job? Probably yes but I'd be absolutely miserable.

[@kirsty_reseller]

Great video Ian! Just wanted to throw my 2 cents in as well (I’m sure you won’t mind) 1 major point which I think this chap is missing is the flexibility of reselling. Yes I could go down to Lidl and get a part time job or do a few hours at an ice cream shop BUT that would tie me down for set hours on set days of the week. I have my regular full time job and resell on the side, the last thing I want is another boss man lol reselling provides the freedom to make a few extra quid on the side on my own time schedule 👍🏼

[@judithyoung3]

You exclude your collection from the money you earn, but it is a store of wealth. You can 'transform' it into case pretty easily.

[@chuggarman6181]

Asking the question. Do you want to sell ice cream at £14 p/h working for someone else and doing a job that you don’t necessarily want to do working the hours that are dictated to you. Or Do you continue doing what you enjoy? Building the collection, spending time with family and creating content that many of us enjoy watching. We could all say I could work more or harder or retrain and earn more money but there is that question, do you want to? Do you need to? Do you have to? Seems like a work/life balance and a point of wellness and if it’s a hobby you enjoy, then that is all that matters.

[@joshbetts1316]

Great video and a very narrow minded view from them. In my case, going to a couple Carboots Saturday and Sunday morning, get home by 11. Yes that’s 10 hours of ‘work’ but what else would I have been doing in those hours. Who’s going to employee someone between 6-11am on a weekend morning and let them have the day off when they have other arrangements or don’t fancy it? Also, I enjoy those hours in the morning to myself, finding bargains. I can’t say I would enjoy working 6-11 in my normal job on a weekend. Keep it up part time resellers!

And spending quality time with the family and teaching them at the same time. The commentor doesn't seem to have alot going on and probably bitter is and miserable person!

You really can't put a price on something you love and are passionate about and making a few quid at the same time. There is another benefit, videos like your an others have inspired me and others no doubt to start my own selling story in something I'm really passionate about and have seen my sales grow month on month and am now clearing £1200 a month Gross , I don't need to do it as semi retired but I get great satisfaction from it.

[@ResellNEThing]

No disrespect but 98% of Resellers do this for the lifestyle not the monetary gain... I would rather do 40 hours a week at £10 an hour doing something I enjoy at my own pace with nobody telling me what to do, going on holiday when I want, having a day off when I want, spending more time at home... then serving ice cream for £13 an hour for someone else to make money from my hard work... time is more valuable then money. So £9-£10 an hour is just fine and dandy for me, I enjoy my work, I enjoy my life and more importantly I enjoy my freedom.

They sound like a right prize one Ian, you don't have to justify anything to them, please don't respond to them directly in future, it just gives them validation, regardless of what you say. Don't feed the fire. You're right about the magic and the hunt though, can't price that.

Sounds very much like a chap I had dealings with on Ebay, he left me a negative feeback and followed up with a ton or messages telling me i was a scammer and to get a proper job 😆. I don't think some folk understand the enjoyment in sourcing and selling! Maybe he's a failed reseller, and envy is getting the better of him. Either way, block and crack on with your hobby and the great content 👌

In my opinion you do not have to justify your hobby with anyone. Whatever you make from Ebay or youtube is private and nobody else's business. I think there is a huge amount of envy here, if this person doesn't like what you do don't watch your channel. A the end of the day it's a hobby. Keep up the good work, really enjoy your content❤

You shouldn't have to justify yourself to some faceless keyboard warrior. It's always easier to pull someone else down then go and do something constructive yourself, which these guys do. At the end of the day you are making a little extra money doing something you enjoy, and that's a gift in itself. Also the time you got to spend with the wee lads and the enjoyment they got and still get out of it is priceless.
