This Ebay Sale Will Go Down in History

[@ordiekelleher2641]

My hubby has chemotherapy tap today. Pray please. Yes yes Kevin😊

[@jochildress5003]

Best video you’ve done that I can remember! So true! I get so tired of the drum beaters looking for excuses for their own problems.

[@jasteimel79]

The Lone Ranger piece was really interesting. Brace Beemer, the last radio Lone Ranger lived & passed away in our adjoining community to the north, Oxford Michigan. The Lone Ranger spanned many decades!

[@tracydailey8631]

I grew up in the town of one of the writers Fran Striker. I remember in the 80's a new station did an anniversary thing at our Library and I was able to be a participant in it. So cool!!

[@bowhunterwill]

Dude you are so right. Everyone should be able to have their own opinions regarding political issues but you shouldn't hate someone that has different views. Selling should be apolitical and a personal view shouldn't keep someone from buying from you.

[@semperfi-1918]

Agree. I dont care for clinton but i have a bill clinton book im selling. Money is money.

[@christhegoose]

That bulb was most likely a hardware store display piece. I ran across a glass version in that same size, wholesaled to an art dealer for $75 about 10 years ago.

[@bobbisanchez2299]

Kevin, it is true that we control our responses. My favorite saying is “you are your greatest obstacle”

[@Silverhawk25]

Well said Kevin. People who make excuses for thier businesses will fail. The rest of us pull our pants up and work smarter and harder and succeed!

[@onemanstrash8233]

28:45 That Turner apple don’t fall far from the tree! Love your jokes Turner and your personality!

[@lauragillespie189]

Kevin- love your passion for teaching, bet you were a favorite! You are so right about the blame-game, mindset is everything.

[@gvantassel]

Kevin I love your videos. You remind me of my son talking about history. He is a true HISTORY BUFF thanks to his High School History Teacher. Thanks for sharing.

[@sandarellaSD]

I grew up in southern CA too! Left in 1981.

[@angelasearles5506]

My mentor teacher gave me a great piece of advice...STAY OUT OF THE TEACHER'S LOUNGE 😂

[@OriginalNethead]

When I was in high school, they allowed smoking in there. They smoked like chimneys. Stay out is right!

[@TimsGirl1978]

A tractor....😂😂😂 Turner has great jokes!!

[@AnnapolisGirly]

One of your best videos for many reason Kevin. Excellent and glad you are feeling better.

[@FoundThingsandFamilyLegacies]

17:32 minutes in... just listen (repeatedly) to Jim Rohn's teachings/words: "The tides go out, the tides come in." for example. I think he sums up so much in his talks. Need an attitude sift - seek it! Darren Hardy often references him on his Darren Dailys. We are INCREDIBLY blessed no matter the circumstances around us.

[@anitahaviland3036]

I loved the Lone Ranger! Clayton Moore's aunt was married to Sabino Lewis Dewey, my parents very good friend. I was in awe of Bino! He knew the Lone Ranger! The back story was of 6 rangers, 1 lived, but there were 6 graves dug to protect the ranger who survived. Tonto was very bright in all ways! I can remember seeing but in color on a black and white TV. My imagination filled in the color, and the following program suddenly looked dull! It was years before I knew what had happened.

[@mikeyb1981]

I agree with you Kevin. I watch alot of reseller videos and many are doom and gloom about the economy and politics. For the most part it’s not going to affect most of us either way.

[@anniehendricks8678]

You nailed it about sacrificing our future to a politician. 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻Thank you for spurring us on.

[@rockymountainflipper]

Was taking pictures of a Dammit doll and copying from your listing of the exact one you pulled in the video when it came up.

[@TexasResellerMakeover]

Excited you're doing a collaboration with Jocelyn! I'm a glass freak! 😉

[@mammasan303]

Saw a glimpse of the Bandana Damnit Doll and went to see it in your store. Loved it, had to have it, lol. I didn’t see the option to message till after I had hit the pay button(😢). But, wanted to say thank you for all you do for this community (buyers & sellers) and I learn from you every show. (Even if it is a history lesson, ❤️).

[@kimberlygorcey4290]

If you ever come across anything used by Bernard, Leo Sr., or David Sr. Gorcey, I would be interested in. Those were my late husband's family and I am collecting for our children who never got a chance to meet them.

[@ThePrudentPreppers]

I’ve heard it put this way. What happens in your house is way more important than what happens in the Whitehouse!

[@OriginalNethead]

Pop culture - nationally syndicated comic strips started it. Silent films and later radio really kicked it off. In the old days I shipped fabric in Tyvek, not polymailers. Boxed if it fit. The USPS likes to mangle polymailers if they can. (Btw Kevin - also on the Spectrum here. Found out in my mid-50s. They didn't diagnose high-function folks until I was an adult and then some, and they still routinely miss girls. Been working around it without knowing what "it" since no one ever knew what to do with me anyway!)

[@Rocky-N-Angel]

I stay away from the political stuff all together. People act like whoever is in office CONTROLS what they do and do not do. I am 52 years old, I can not remember a time in 52 years where I said or thought " Man I can not do this or that because of who was in office " I control what and what I do not do in life, no matter who the President is, or who the Governor is, or who is the Mayor. We control our own lives, not any one individual, or what they do. Thanks for the great video once again. BTW Politics divide us too much and I am more for unity.

[@kathleenhathaway5519]

Roy Rodgers had a museum in Apple Valley CA. It moved to Bronson after he died. I think Trigger ended up back in Apple Valley.

[@shawnmariemann]

Love that lightbulb!

[@MaryMcQuain]

Hi Kevin! Thank you for your comments regarding politics. I'm 10 years older than you (so according to Dave and Cary, I'm 100 LOL), but I'm sure you still remember when politics were your own business! I don't actually post mine on social, but tons of people do, which is fine for them, but it seems like it's not your own private business anymore, and everyone who doesn't agree is wrong! I do agree, we need to make our own future, to the best of our ability, and deal with what we can't control the best we can, regardless of what's going on in DC, etc. There are tons of opportunities with the internet, I was doing multiple side hustles before the internet, now my head just spins at the opportunities haha Liked and shared, thanks Kevin!

[@jimdahl3443]

Two things: 1) You should see about having “Commonwealth Picker” branded Dammit dolls like your enema man plush. Seems like your viewers would buy them to support you. 2) You might want to update your Amazon referral links, not all the items are still available for purchase Thanks Kevin, best to you and your family

[@DRventura333]

"A little down" - sales have been tanking badly since 2nd week of January for some Ebay Sellers , then being scammed by Scammers and Ebay does not help.

[@devonneshort4749]

I love the light bulb for your lamp that you sold very cool. People on eBay should not be selling when thinking about our politics I agree🥰

[@vynilrob9719]

I like to use dashes to make keywords stand out (Spider-Man - book lot - characters - marvel comics)...do they help or hinder?

[@CharlieDIY]

You talked about setting up Business Policies. Have you shared what you set up for shipping policy. I am trying to get as low as I can on shipping but don't want to hurt myself on the high end. If anyone has an advice that would be great as well!

[@commonwealthflipper]

if you click on some of my items you will see what I charge

[@oskiesemporium8759]

It's unfortunate that the few who are first to take credit for their success are generally no where to be found when responsibility must be acknowledged and accepted for failure. Owning your failure and learning from it is the springboard to eventual success. Thomas Edison made the light bulb wrong 1,000 times before he finally nailed it. Thanks for all you do, Kevin. You are appreciated!

[@debrahansley]

So true! We create our own future!

[@OkiesAddiction]

Love your shirt!

[@vinyl1Earthlink]

As an investor, I see the same sort of thing - the other members of my investment club think the market will crash if politician X or party Y wins. I say that if you are good stock investor, you can make money investing no matter which politicians are elected.

[@darktoylord]

Missed the DibDit streams today. But I guess it's ok. If I keep adding to my deathpile my wife is going to kill me 🤣

[@esmelovesvintage]

Excellent preaching today 🙌🎉🎉

[@aprilpratt9316]

Lonesome Dove was awesome

[@TheThriftyVeteran]

What's the bulb weigh? Sounds crazy. I sold a hands free knee Crutch. And somehow put flat rate and was wayy off. I had to come out of pocket an extra $12. Woulda been double that if I didn't trim 2 inches off.

[@doughornbecker1892]

Like everything it's worth what someone is willing to pay for it. Question - how long did you do reselling before you left your teaching position? thank you!

[@SaltLickValleyPickers]

Do you have an issue with labels being remade in Kansas City MO?

[@guymichaels3233]

We always want to see the dogs.

[@picklikeapro6952]

I watched a documentary about the 1926 recession where baby’s would starve and turn blue 😢. Sorry to bring up something like that but I was feeling down and needed some perspective. Everyone should each a video about that recession and realize how lucky we are that times have changed.

[@HUSTLERS1]

That's what I call huge light bulb I bet it bright up entire house

[@whodidit99]

I think the collectible market is silly. Most look like junk to me. But it is profitable, so I'll BOLO for them.

[@vynilrob9719]

Have you ever done a video on niches?

[@commonwealthflipper]

Not a specific video but I talk about it from time to time

[@TimsGirl1978]

Oh NO, NOT THE LIGHT BULB!!!

[@shalyndria]

Brain based research teaches us our mindset has the power to create our reality. Keep going off.. share your perspectives, it's one of the many reasons you're successful :)

[@Mazooc]

Good one.

[@brianklaus2468]

Probably wouldve cost me $25ish to ship that bulb to CA,up your shipping game to get the good discounts lol

[@MicahFoxxMusic]

What are the details for “upping” the “shipping game”? Different options for services?

[@brianklaus2468]

@@MicahFoxxMusic I'm somewhat joking as I have a latex business where I ship al sorts of stuff with Fedex including LTL and international and as such we have a rep and substantial discounts

[@commonwealthflipper]

Lol. Special treatment for you important people. 😉

[@ThriftedSpirit]

people put too much weight in politics vs money. We are a global economy whether people see it or not, and as you said, we are responsible for ourselves. It was, and still is to a point, some industries that drop unless a republican is in the office, such as construction, but that is due to the people with the money deciding to do that so that little people see a "difference". It's not actually due to anything more. I put white and silky shirts in a second bag, shipping is dirty and silky ones move too much in bags.

[@frostedsleet3124]

If you own a business and don’t keep up with local and national legislation it can bite you in the bottom. One piece of bad legislation can change your whole business model.

[@marilynmack6233]

EVERYONE SHOULD BE COGNIZANT OF CONSUMER SENTIMENT. YOU CAN BE DOING EVERYTHING RIGHT AS A RESELLER BUT STILL EXPERIENCE LOW SALES WHEN PEOPLE THINK THEY JUST CANNOT BUY THINGS THAT ARE NOT NECESSARY. PAY ATTENTION TO THE CONSUMER SENTIMENT NUMBERS RELEASED BY UNIV. OF MICHIGAN TO DETERMINE TRENDS.🇺🇲🙏💖

[@vinyl1Earthlink]

Well, then sell necessary items at a cheaper price than everyone else.

[@marilynmack6233]

Vinyl1earth. Did not mean to mislead you as I am NOT a reseller. I was merely offering the scenario from the standpoint of the stock market and what affects the economy. You could have luxury goods and try to sell them very cheaply but if your customer base is struggling to buy gas, food, insurance etc. you may not be able to unload your luxury items except to very rich people who more than likely will be buying retail.IMHO

[@SerenitySharesStuff]

You handled the politics issue very well.

[@dianechase80]

I sold those series. I have the Roy Rodger and fbi and my favorite husband and more.

[@commonwealthflipper]

Martian. Lol. But husband will do to for some.

[@marycarlson8837]

If you decide from the beginning that you will fail, then you will.

[@angelpaez6135]

I believe Success is not depended on who is in White House, but it does make it easier when the right person is in there because they can create the platform for it. But you still can’t blame politics for what you do or not do. That said, can we talk about the effect all these other platforms are having on eBay. We like to say eBay is not dying but everyone is selling their stuff other places creating a competition for themselves. Sure we should join but if we don’t want eBay to go under, why support the competition? Just a thought I would like to see a video response about this.

[@annfutrell9581]

Glass👏

[@Pauls_Merch]

Amen!

[@ActingAFoolForYou]

You are your own success or failure for sure. I don’t like to discuss politics unless it’s face to face because all nuance is lost in comments. I will say in my area we have a lot of second homes of the ultra wealthy and they do affect everyone in the area. Before they became the norm we had a decent amount of at least ok paying jobs. Now most jobs are geared toward them and wages are depressed. They have taken a lot of land over time and years ago they only had about half the county. My late father was asked by the newspaper why they were not all over the area and he replied they needed a place for their slave quarters. I have interacted with millionaire and billionaire clients at a former job they are like everyone else some good some bad and some crazy

[@88picks54]

👍

[@TonySullivan-cr6wr]

Love to leave politics out of these videos a person will make their success the merit they invest.

[@joshb809]

Do you have a discord?

Fantastic multi topic video! Thanks Kevin for winding me down through to the end of my day. Lots of ideas to chew about! Have A Great Weekend ✅ gemeni-dreams
